Facebook banning

In March my fb account was suspended along with the work account I ran. No reason was given other than violation of rules on the work account.

I was offered an appeal which I did and they just say it will be reviewed and if not reviewed in 6 months my accounts will be deleted. (I did nothing wrong I can see).

Now three months down the line I’m thinking I will never get it back and have given up hope.

It’s cured my fb addiction but I am sad for some of the people I have lost contact with and also my memories. There is no one I can contact from Meta.

Does anyone else have experience of this?

thank you.

Trying to regain access to a FB/Instagram account is virtually impossible. You’d be better off creating a new one and readding everyone.

Thank you. I have done that but only really using it for a social group I’m on. I suspect the old account has gone for good.

They DO ban randomly, for no genuine reason, because they're arseholes!

Some years ago, FB banned me for no genuine reason.

I was being pestered by this weirdo who kept sending me private messages demanding ''services'' and passports, and money. He was from, he said, America and working in navy/army/oil rigs/medical, whatever. It's amazing how many of them ''work'' in such things, never on the tills at Tesco!

He was pestering me several times a day, 7 days a week. Posting up that I should contact him immediately. His spelling and grammar were absolutely appalling. I blocked, deleted and reported, but FB never did anything about him. He kept getting new accounts up and pestering me that way. I never responded, but one day I'd had enough and messaged him back, saying, privately saying if I get just one more message then I'll publicly post his profile photo, details he'd put up about his ''job'', his area/country and also the phone and emails he'd added, as a warning to all other females there. That he's a sexual predator and a scammer, pestering me for sex and a whole load of other stuff.

He messaged back angrily; again, FB never did anything about him, so I did as I said and plastered him all over the public site.

I was then immediately banned for life while that bag of shit was allowed to carry on pestering women! Typical Zuckieborg attitude towards women!

About 3 years later, I got a new account going.
