shhhh

I keep poking girls and Facebook loves it.

I've been de-activated twice for no apparent reason and without warning. I sent them an e-mail asking what I had done and what I could do about it? I received a generic response that didn't really answer the question both times. My account was back up a few days later though......

It is scary though, I use FB in a huge way for promo. I know they have certian metrics in place that will trigger the de-activation and someone will review it later to see if it's justified or not.

I've even added a couple friends to my groups as admin, so if I ever lose my account the group won't get deleted.

DAMN..... i didn't know facebook was being so anal! I always send ppl links to mixes and tracks on there. Now i'm thinking i should stop! I would def. be one of those zombies wandering around not knowing what to do with myself if my facebook account was de-activated thanks for the heads up!!!!

if you post mixes in a note and tag people you are fine.

if you share tracks you deserve to be deleted.

Stick to the rules, and you shouldn't ever have a problem.

I have a group and a fan page, and I've never had any problems (or even a warning). Though I only send out message through my group, and don't blatantly spam on peoples walls like some people I know.

Do you think it was because of your email, or they just did it on their own accord? I initially sent out an email to [email protected], and an automated email was send back stating that the would get back shortly. That was 3 days ago. True they are a large organization and so much email must come their way, but it is getting harder to remain patient. Then again what choice is there. I'll see by the end of the weekend, but I'm not keeping my hopes up too high.

+1 to this, which was a surprise when the msg came up for me. I think the reason I was warned was because I sent out the same msg, with the same title and content to two different sources containing quite a few people.

Well, they did respond to my e-mail for sure. I think it was within 3 days, and my account was back up within 3 days too. Although the issues was adding friends to quickly or something rather minor, but again there was no warning that I was doing something wrong. Myabe thats why my account was back up?

This was also more than a year ago, and things have gotten bigger there, so maybe it will take more time? You would hope they would at least respond to you...

Shaya, your fairly active on FB... for sure way more than I. Have you been experiencing problems with warnings or anything like that for simple things especially?

I happen to know a bit about what's going on.

I've worked on Facebook apps before. They have deliberate metrics in place to detect the spamminess of their apps and punish those accordingly. When you get invites from a facebook app, you can click the "x" next to the notification; facebook will ask you whether or not to report spam. Based on these results, facebook actually assigns a "spamminess" rating to each app, and restricts the privileges of the app based on the spamminess rating. For example, if the app has a shitty spamminess rating (even if only 3-5% of invitees mark it as spam), you won't be able to invite many people to use it (at most like 1/day or something). These metrics are VERY strict and designed to get rid of stupid "invite all your friends and get points" apps.

More recently, they've begun to crack down on spammy users as well. Essentially, there exist some algorithms that track your behaviour and attempt to guess if you're spamming. Obvious these are heuristics and are not perfect, but sometimes it's tough for them to judge what's spam and what isn't. Are you spamming if you invite all of your friends to an event you're promoting? etc.

Facebook is very easy to write bots for (you could easily write one to crawl the site and extract unprotected friend/profile information; I've seen it done in far less than a day.) It's equally easy to write bots that would PM all users in a friends list.

Bottom line... Facebook wants to prevent UNSOLICITED spam from people you've friended. If you are copy-pasting messages and PMing/wall-posting them to multiple other users, FB will likely think you're spamming and you'll suffer accordingly. Use groups/events/fan pages and message all users; people can opt-out of those.

Like any heuristics, Facebook's are not perfect and get tweaked all the time.

LOL @ getting b4nz0r3d for spamming "happy birthday" on multiple walls.
