Hey there,

I've been going nuts on this having had my account disabled without warning, for no apparent reason. Here's the message:

Your account has been disabled by an administrator. If you have any questions or concerns, you can visit our FAQ page here.

No pre-warnings, messages etc... just the whole 2 years (750 friends, 60 or so photo albums, and a whole load of groups that I administer) deleted in 1 go, and email enquiries return a 'this email is blocked' message. Their link for reason why accounts are deleted states that it's for breaking terms and conditions, offensive behavious etc... about the most offensive thing I've posted was the suggestion that Abba's music is quite cool. Hmmm.

I've had no responses from them via my other email. Very frustrating. Anyone any ideas?!

Craig

They don't bother with the warning anymore. They just disable your account and ignore attempts to communicate with them

Our Jason Preston had the same problem yesterday. Apparently it's pretty widespread.

Me too... I had been answering home composting queries on Organic Gardening 101, and then joined two new groups so I could post a message about a questionnaire that I'm inviting people to fill in... and the following day when I logged in the the composting discussion, I got the above message. I messaged one of the Facebook organisers (Tom Whitnah) and he asked for more details but then messaged me with this link, so Facebook are aware of the weird behaviour.

Yeah I have had this warning before...And the sad thing is...I was just replying to messages...Facebook needs to change up the way they determine "spammy" activity compared to true genuine contact and relationship building activity.

I got the dreaded pink box yesterday after sending less than 10 messages in quick succession, so number of messages within a certain time period should be one of the parameters.

i had my account permanently disabled a few weeks ago. I was trying to win the egghunt application and wrote a script. The next day my account was disabled. I turned the script off and asked them to reactivate my account. They did, but over the next couple days, my account got disabled again twice (with no script, just regular usage), and now they've permanently disabled my account. all my photos, friends, notes, videos, etc, all gone. i was pretty pissed.
