This Account Has Been Deactivated Facebook
This Account Has Been Deactivated Facebook
Visualize my shock when I tried to authorize into Facebook one morning just to get the following message:
My account was disabled? What does that also indicate?
I tried to log in with another browser and I obtained the very same message. Facebook handicapped my account!
Facebook supplied a type entry web page for those desiring to write to Facebook about their impaired account, and I emailed them essentially asking why my account was handicapped and how I can get gain access to back to the numerous web pages I'm an admin for. I explained that I handle a selection of web pages for customers, and also was constantly conscious about the web content I posted-- after all, my parents get on Facebook too.
After sending the email to Facebook, I sent an e-mail to the buddies that's email addresses I actually had and also explained what happened. Thanks to the connect-ability of Facebook, the majority of my friends were just able to be gotten in touch with by me on Facebook.
The replies I received from that email were categorized into 3 different groups:
- WTF/WTH-- why would they do that ??
- Is it due to the fact that you uploaded political things (I like Ron Paul as well as shared content regarding #OWS).
- Maybe somebody flagged you.
I read up on a few of the articles by others who have actually had their accounts disabled to learn why my own was unexpectedly drawn-- without cautioning I need to include. The posting days on the write-ups extend the life time of Facebook, revealing that the business has actually permanently been on a behind the curtain campaign of disabling accounts at their discretion.
I found some short articles by renowned blog owners or reporters, consisting of Roger Ebert, Robert Scoble, and Stan Shroeder (Mashable). Most of these high-profiled Facebook users had their accounts and/or pages reabled soon after Facebook uncovered that they disabled. For the remainder of us, we're basically on our very own.
Checking out these short articles really did not infuse much hope in me or my scenario. The understanding of what I lost was starting to set in also.
For many years I had computer systems collision, taken, shed, etc. and also depend on Facebook to hold all my travel as well as celebration pictures. The web site isn't going anywhere anytime quickly, so why not post all my images on Facebook for my friends and family members to check out at their discernment? There were more than 2000 pictures, many video clips, blog posts (notes), plus all the get in touches with (I still have not been able to reconnect with many that were all lost when Facebook disabled my account). This was seeming a really stark circumstance as I better realized simply what was shed.
I had to reclaim access to Facebook to handle the web pages for my clients, and likewise for my very own business. A lot of my pages' admin access were shown to a companion and were conveniently held up up with the brand-new Facebook account I begrudgingly created, cursing Facebook under my breath as I established the brand-new account.
Some of the Facebook pages admin accessibility were shown my clients, whom I needed to get in touch with to have them re-add me with my brand-new account. All of them asked "Why did your account get disabled?" and also truly so. I, too, would question the individual I paid to handle my Facebook web page why their Facebook account was impaired. Would not you?
I still don't have a response to that question. "I have no suggestion" is the solution I still give, due to the fact that its true. Facebook has still yet to provide me a reason that my account was impaired. After reviewing the reasons Facebook impaired accounts on their web page I was still in the dark. I didn't spam-add individuals, post sexual web content, harass anybody. so why they removed me really did not make sense. Just after I read other posts did I recognize a bit much more.
Facebook can disable your account if your display screen name is different than that on your birth certification. Mine was, yet not by much. It was still phonetically the exact same, however led to different than the rest of my family. I additionally had a client who just recently used a competition promotion to boost their email checklist. According to Facebook marketing standards, competitions can only be run on Facebook with a couple of apps: ShortStack and WildFire. Could that be why my account was disabled? I checked that customer's Facebook page as well as it was gone as well. Aha!
Although the competition wasn't specifically hosted on Facebook (it was hosted on the client's website), and the winner was alerted using e-mail (you can not introduce winners on your wall surface), I was confident this was the annoying action which had me brought in off Facebook without even a 'Goodbye'.
Now it had to do with a week since I originally created Facebook that fateful morning, as well as I still had not obtained a reply. I revisited the page enabling me to call Facebook, as well as described that I currently had a far better suggestion regarding why they disabled me, and that I was sorry. I vowed never to do something like that once more (was it truly that negative??) if they just reable my account.
I sent out that off as well as waited once again. After a couple of more days I realized something. something very vital-- I developed a filter in gmail for Facebook e-mails. Even if they did email me, I would certainly have never obtained the email due to the fact that it was readied to "Avoid Inbox/Delete". Rough.
So I sent out an additional e-mail to Facebook, this time around letting them understand that I had a filter on my gmail as well as if they did contact me before this e-mail, I would have never ever obtained it.
A couple of days later I ultimately got an email from Javier at Facebook. Below's the only reaction I'll likely get from Facebook:.
Hi,
Unfortunately, your account has been permanently disabled for violating Facebook’s Terms. We will not reactivate it for any reason.
This will be our last email regarding your account. For more information about our policies, please read the Facebook Community Standards: https://www.facebook.com/communitystandards/
Thanks,

What a juvenile action-- sure Facebook is a 'young' company, but I make certain there should be a person there with far better tact than 'we're not mosting likely to reable your account-- don't email us again.' ALRIGHT Facebook.
So what did I learn from my experience with Facebook?
1. Back up your account! You never ever recognize if/when they'll decide to remove you.
2. Don't manage your numerous customer's pages with the same account. If one page/account gets removed, you will not shed them all.
3. A great deal of my friends are snobs who's accounts are either concealed from search, or they disabled the "Include as a close friend" button making it impossible to re-add them.
Its been about a month considering that I had my account disabled, and also had great deals of time to reflect on the experience. I haven't attempted to speak to Facebook directly since I received the email from Javier, but I did start the web site www.facebook-disabled-my-account.org, and also the hashtag project on Twitter #FBdisabledMe to draw attention to the unfavorable experience.
Do I desire Facebook to transform their disabling plan? Nope.
I handle a couple of MU websites and also if you want somebody off your site, by all means delete them/block them/whatever. However, for Facebook to disable the account and to keep the data/photos/videos/ connections/blog articles, that is wrong. What would certainly Facebook be if no one uploaded web content onto the site-- No photos to share or tag-- No posts to Like-- No condition updates to LOL at-- It would be ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
Facebook must permit those who they disabled to download their account, letting them recover their photos/videos/notes/ and so on, prior to going off to the barren marshes of Google+, or to RT their pals standing updates (rather than 'Suching as' it). Facebook currently makes it feasible for an energetic account to be downloaded, so why not a disabled account?
It's time for Facebook to get a little bit elder in this area-- specifically with their IPO introduced. I'm in fact taking into consideration buying stock just so they will need to listen to my problem-- at the very least I'll benefit from them.
Have you had your Facebook account impaired? Did you get it back, and if so exactly how?
