Monday morning I saw a Tweet from internet marketer Kathleen Gage; she’d been banned from Facebook. I was surprised to say the least. I know there are spammers and unethical types on Facebook and elsewhere on the web, but Kathleen isn’t one of them. I’m connected to her in multiple social media sites and know she’s one of the good guys (gals?).
So how could this happen?
The problem is that Facebook has some written and unwritten rules about what is and isn’t allowed. If you break one of these rules you may get a warning, or you may get banned without warning, as Kathleen did.
On a site like LinkedIn, they make it very clear that if you don’t follow the rules you’re out. It’s difficult to connect with people you don’t know on LinkedIn. And they have a pretty standardized system of dealing with those who stray. As a result, people are more cautious about what they do on LinkedIn.
But Facebook is different. It’s a little more freewheeling than LinkedIn. There are so many ways to connect with people – search, groups, your friends’ friends, the “people you may know” box – that it’s easy to forget that Facebook does have some rules in place. Add this to the fact that most of these rules seem to be “secret” it’s surprising more committed networkers aren’t banned.
How To Avoid Getting Banned
If many of the rules around networking on Facebook are unwritten, and you can get banned without warning, does this mean you should avoid Facebook? Of course not. Facebook is too valuable a networking tool to avoid. If you learn from the mistakes of others you can avoid the shock of getting kicked off.
Your Facebook account can be deactivated if:
- You send “too many” friend requests in one day/session/week.
- You make “too many” wall posts in one day/session/week – especially if the posts have identical content and links.
- You copy and paste the same friend request message “too many” times.
- You send “too many” identical emails to individual friends and/or friend lists.
- You send messages to your Group members “too many” times.
- You “poke” too many people (please tell me you’re not poking people!)
- You message your Event invitees “too many” times.
- You join too many groups.
- You post too many promotional links
Notice a theme here? It’s not what you do, it’s how many times you do it. If you do any of these actions too many times, you look like a spammer in the eyes of the Facebook police. This is something you must never do.
So how much is too much? Come back tomorrow for some tips to avoiding banishment from Facebook.

Andrea…I am looking for the “tomorrow” where you said you will talk about how much is too much and I cannot find it on your blog. Please give me the link.
so i was on fb yesterday and this morning i wanted to get on to talk to my friend nd i tried to log on and fb banned me 🙁 how do i get my account back
i tried logging onto my facebook account yesterday and it said it was disabled. I shot them an email asking why, since the only thing i could find on their site was my account could only be disabled if I was impersonating someone or using a fake name/account. I asked them to explain how they came up with this conclusion that i am not who i say i am. But I never got a reply email. Just out of curiosity, I googled my name to see if my information and pictures were still out there for people to see and sure enough, my facebook information popped up and there was my account…so strange!
best thing to do is to email facebook to see why your account was “disabled”
how can u get on facebook @ school,even though asd blocks it?
after debating on a fan page off and on for around three days in a row, i was given a warning. shocked me. did not know fb considered this as possible harassment. Also realized that if you upset someone unintentionally, and they report you, rather its justified or not, you can be banned. Also, while debating, a lot of my ‘friends’ kept hitting like on my comments, which i encouraged, however facebook did not ‘like’ it at all, since it brought into question rather or not these people were real,or simply fake accounts with fake names.
Christina,
Yes, Facebook can be rather heavy-handed sometimes. That’s why it is wise to be careful about what you do, how you do it, and to ensure you don’t have all your marketing eggs in one basket.
Also thanks for the heads up about Facebook not being happy with having friends “like” all your comments. It does illustrate that you need to be authentic in everything you do online. One option would be for you to get them to only hit “like” on some of your comments, while also adding their own comments and occasionally “sharing” your comments. Perhaps that way Facebook won’t see their activities as blatant promotion.
Best of luck with it.
Looks like I’ve been banned today from FB 07/15/11. Basically the only thing I’ve been doing is posting Bible verses for 2 or more years & few major news events. The truth is not popular in this day & age.
i too have been banned from facebook, as they said i was impersonating someone, total crap if you ask me. the stuff they want me to send to prove my identity is stupid.
i dont have access to a camera, for j peg images what ever… i dont have my original birth certificate. i dont have a library card or a picture i.d. card. oh the list is endless
so i told them just close my account. then. i know why its all because i used my middle name not my first name when i set the account up, due to my ex husband who was sending me filth in messages… i reported him and he wasnt banned….. i hope one day they close facebook down for good…..
They put me on a 15 day warning! Incredible, said i was spamming,,,i didn’t even know what spamming was! i had been sharing “love” back for fb page “likes”. sheeze.
I’ve also heard that if you send out too many friend requests that go unanswered this can trigger a temporary ban. It would be nice if they published the actual threshold values.
I haven’t heard about the unanswered friend requests but it doesn’t surprise me. And I agree, it would be a lot easier for all users if we knew exactly what the expectations are. LinkedIn is very good about making the rules clear. I think part of the problem is that Facebook was created for students and business use of the tool wasn’t part of the original plans so they don’t have a system in place to deal with how people are currently using it. However, it doesn’t help people who get into trouble. The best bet is to take it slow, be a true networking, don’t spam, and don’t put all your marketing eggs in the Facebook basket.
Thanks for sharing this info with us..
Can you get banned from uploading a profile picture that say for ex. is a picture of Eminem? Someone plz respond?
I’ve been banned for arguing with some stranger in a page. Well it’s only temporary. Thank God it only lasts 3 days. I’ll be more careful. I’ll read this post very thoroughly. Thanks :)))
I was bullied by a stranger on a post….she called me every name in the book for voicing my disapproval of Obama — it was a pro republican post. These peeps travel in packs and attack your posts and argue with you. I responded with something like” You don’t get to advise me, you have no credibility because you voted for Obama– I looked at your page and you are wearing your obama loving dunce hat right front and center” so you have no credibility for me.” And after all her swearing, name calling, FN this and that…..I finally said “talk to the hand – you have nothing interesting to say and I’m done talking with you.” Next time I logged in – I was suspended for 12 hours — for that first sentence which was removed.
Scary.
a friend who is a very popular musician got thousands of birthday wishes, he thought of answering them all, he got to 100 and was warned to not do that again!! this was on his fan page! he said “just answering my birthday wishes ” they said DONT DO IT AGAIN!
I deactivated my account 3 times in two days and apparently Facebook doesnt like that…they told me that I couldn’t get back on for 24 hrs.
I posted many time the same text..I riceved a permanent ban ?
It says :
In italiano ->Commenti pubblici bloccati
Impossibile lasciare commenti a causa del continuo abuso di questa funzione.
In english -> Public comments blocked
Unable to leave comments because of the constant abuse of this feature
i am banned from commenting on even my own post because we tried to make a 1k long list of comments. there were 4 of us and only i got banned. i even had the adminstrators permission on the page and the girl who posted the pic was helping us with it.
I’ve been banned from FB because I advertised a job at my works because a colleague walked out leaving us stitched! Can I ever get my Facebook page back????

Facebook disabled my account yesterday. How can i contact facebook as i want to know what i did wrong. ive never broken any rules in my life, so this happening is has really upset me. ive just lost 4 years worth of friends and business contacts. how can i get my account back?
I was banned just as I was starting my Facebook account. I started a personal site with my name and then a company site as Geek Ethicist. As I was populating the accounts, I received a message that I needed to give a phone number for a text message. I do not have a phone with texting capacity and gave my home number and then my work number and then did that again and suddenly I was banned. I publish a new column on a blog called Geek Ethicist. Ironic yes?
What’s Happening i’m new to this, I stumbled upon this I’ve found It positively useful and it has helped me out loads. I’m hoping to
contribute & help other users like its aided me. Good job.
Blocked for 30 days, for liking a total of FIVE friends statuses! I had no net access for a few days, so liked her five statuses she posted when I was down – in one sitting. NO WARNING. This is just WRONG! Now I CANNOT: Status, Like OR Comment for a month!
Been blocked on facebook many times, because people had reported my art as offensive. They start off with 24 hours, then 3 days, then 7 days, then 30 days…. I just share my art and works in progress, so my friends, and family can see what I do and how I do my art. I provide links of my livestream http://www.livestream.com/zanaelf , and those who cant manage to watch the livestream, i share screenshots, and snapshots of the work in progress. I had an issue with them removing and censoring things, but it has gon far worse and discriminatory when they delete and censor art , and then give you authorative abuse of punishment by blocking you. I had been blocked over my birthday, and have lost touch with freinds, family in regards to birthdays , since the blocking, I have forgotten their birthdays. As facebook was a handy tool for to remember my friend’s and family’s borthdays. Before the blocking started ever on facebook, I had one account, since they started this stupidity, i now have four accounts, there has been a time where all four have been blocked.
Thanks. Your article is the most informative that I’ve come across so far.
Just yesterday I was banned for the 2nd time, 30 days for spamming. I have zero friends (I used to have 13 but I realized I was censoring myself and I felt free-er with zero friends and just having everything opened up to the public, with all the issues I care about…etc. (I’m at katm667 on fecebook, if I’m still there))
Anyway I was in the midst of working on a page I’d created ‘Obama is the 1%’ when it happened, both times. Since I’m the only person that “liked” my page, the only person I could’ve spammed was myself.
The ‘first’ time was last sunday when I got rid of my 13 friends. Suddenly fecebook asked me to provide them with a phone # or govt ID, to prove that I was who I was. I thought that was weird at first but then realized it could’ve been automatic because I’d gotten rid of my friends all at once? But, so yesterday I finally relented and entered a phone # and they texted me a code to get back on (not a good way to verify someone by the way) and that’s when I saw a message that said I’d been “abusive” and thought that was weird and decided right then to be very careful and not contact anyone. I was back on facebook for about ten minutes before I got the 30 days boot for “spamming” myself.
The only “abusive” activity that I can recall ever doing was when I used to politely, but firmly, beg Obama supporters on fecebook to examine Obama’s expansion of Bush’s ugliest policies. I gave that up a long time ago though.
In my heartbroken desperate state of mind, over signing so many petitions to Obama and having them all be ignored by him, I needed to reach out to the Obama supporters and ask them why they would give up on the struggle for human rights, democracy and the earth and support the expansion of Bush’s policies.
I had some great conversations with many good people but there was some hostility I got in return (particularly from the ‘I love it when I wake up in the morning and obama is president’ page) which I initiated by being stupidly hostile myself, saying something like “to support someone who expands the ugliest policies of Bush, you have to be sick in the head” -not a good conversation starter, I know.
Being constantly accused of racism, or of supporting Romney/RonPaul, is to be expected from some Obama supporters so I’ve always made clear that my main complaint about Obama is that he is a black Romney-clone (and visa versa to Romney supporters for Romney being a white Obama-clone).
With all these predator RonPaul/Romney groups out there trying to capitalize on the disappointment in Obama, I felt I needed to at least put the thought out there, on fecebook that “Yes We Can” should not turn into “No We Can’t” get rid of Bush’s ugliest policies; but more importantly to challenge the strange belief that we are stuck with these two heinous choices.
In these last remaining months before we lose all communication tools to the rule of “national security,” I am trying with all my heart, on fecebook and elsewhere, to get a noncorporate -2nd- party candidate (like Jill Stein from the Green Party perhaps?) at least spoken about, since most “progressive” media groups have, I feel, betrayed the 99% by endorsing Obama and his expansion of heinous Bush policies.
In my frustration with yesterdays events and with the general “LOL/Sports/hollywood/video-games” mindest that I’ve seen from most fecesbook users, (and from perhaps a little immaturity on my part) I have resorted to calling it “fece”-book rather than facebook.
If you’ve read this far, thanks for letting me vent.
Blocked for 60 days (was 30) And I had NOT even been online for several days! For Spam? I don’t message friends as we talk on chat, I don’t post links/vids/news etc.
I’m a writer and will often post a short story of several comments long, which is my own work- and I never post it to other walls or in a message I NEVER friend request, friends add me. I will add also I got NO warning (before either ban).
How can this be justified when you have done nothing wrong or .. if you have not even been online (Facebook) to DO anything at all?

I am beginning to understand the FB dilemma. The Face Book Police want to be sure the likes we like are really likes we like. This is how they make money, so spam will really kill them, and they are extra cautious. They make money on using our likes as personal references for our “friends” to buy products. So if you are a bot then you would subvert their business model.

I got the points to be banned on facebook.Can anyone please help me to get some helpful ideas that how i can promote my facebook fanpage.Actually what are the best strategies of facebook marketing?
i got a warning from facebook once saying my name *my REAL name* was interpreting a business organization of some kind and that i should make a fanpage for it instead…its really ridiculous and when i messaged them about it saying its my real name..let alone also a common name they never messaged back..probably because they didnt wanna admit their wrongs….pretty typical if you ask me, this was about a year ago though
I have been thinking of starting #likewhatsucksday The problem with FB is they have no real competition at the moment. If we all picked a day to like what sucks then FB would lose quite a bit of reliable likes. This would definitely undermine their monopoly just a smidge.
I have been banned twice now from FB just for being honest sand standing up for my faith and exposeing the homosexuals for what they are. I have signed many petitions against FB allowing child porn on thier site which is a crime!!!
How does FB get away with this but yet allow homosexuals which most are pedifiles the truth be known. There is even a horrible site on FB called F**K Jesus Christ showing a picture of Jesus holding up the middle finger!!!!
I signed a petition agasint this also it is evil. I have come to the conclusion that FB is evil and anti Christain. It is also a site that can gather information on us like big brother!!
I think we should all ban FB and create a new site for normal people to come and share
I am beginning to understand the FB dilemma. The Face Book Police want to be sure the likes we like are really likes we like.
I clicked “share” on photos(joke pictures) and have for a long time. My friends check my page for funny stuff. I also “share” political stuff. Today, I “shared around 10 things, including a political message(anti-gun control) then anti obama, and began to get a message that I was abusing a feature. It said this a couple of more times(I shares 3 more things). The next to last was another anti-gun control one) and I was banned for “abusing a feature”. Never happened before. I share tons and tons of comedy stuff in a day. I can still download the stuff, then post in an album as “funny stuff found out and about on facebook”, but cannot click “share” on anything. Ban is for “Up to 2 days”
I was “grounded” for 7 days for confirming too many FB friend requests. I didn’t initiate these requests, and I’m very sure they did’n’t come from spammers or companies trying to drum up business.
What they didn’t bother to tell me was that I’m also grounded from sending PMs, I’m assuming for the same amount of time. My new daughter-in-law sent me a PM recently & I was going to answer it but I can’t. I can’t phone or text her because my son is in the Navy and I can’t take the chance of trying to contact them when he’s not free.
So my daughter-in-law just has to think I’m being an ignorant mother-in-law right from the beginning – and I don’t know if/when I’ll get PM “privilege” back because it wasn’t mentioned in the “too many FB requests” message.
I could put a brief explanation on her timeline, but I don’t know how big FB’s nosiness policy goes, and I don’t want to get her banned or myself banned.
So…can’t get in touch with my Navy son and his wife, my other sons, my husband, my cousin, my friends, etc.unless it’s something vague I can put on their timeline. Who knows, maybe I’m banned on that, too.
Oh, the origins of the banning was because I was accepting friend requests from people for a game (have since found out that this is verboten, and I should find a game which doesn’t require relating to people – I thought that was what FB was – relating to people). Each of these people had at least 5 friends in common with me, some as many as 39. Could this be one of the red flags, too? if they think I’m confirming too many friends who have other friends in common with me, we’re setting up a social network to rule the world?
So…I don’t get it. FB does not say how many friends you can request or confirm at a time, over a week, over a month, but we’re supposed to abide by that non-rule? Do I have to stick to maybe 2 people a week or since they think I’m already an anarchist, 2 people every 6 months?
I’m seriously thinking of deactivating my account.. Why does FB allow games that need friends when they won’t allow people to get friends for games?
I noticed there were previous posters who found a way of messaging or contacting the FB powers that be (a rack of computers somewhere). I can’t find anything like this. Could someone supply this, or would that get them banned? I don’t want anyone to take any chances.
Thanks for putting up with the rant.
Sorry…again. From FBs “book of rules”:
“Facebook is a place for connecting with people you know personally, like your friends, family, classmates and coworkers.”
How can some people have over 1,000 friends then? Not talking about “liking” celebrities or subscribing – I’m talking about friends! Doesn’t limiting friending limit the amount of people FB can hit up with their constant annoying ads?
I still want to know why I got banned by confirming when the people who sent the friend requests didn’t?
And…no disrespect meant. how do we know that this site isn’t linked in some way to FB to keep track of the complainers, or that they have access to this site to get the complainers’ names, emails, etc.? Should I put a generic message on my daughter-in-law’s timeline about not being able to message her, and then put the link to FB’s “too many people” rule?
This was supposed to be fun, interesting, etc. If I wanted to stay in touch with family, co-workers, neighbors (of the “next door” type) and old friends in HS, I could call them or email them. What the h*|| is the point of this “social network” if it’s not really a “social” network.
Sorry again. I’ll stop.
I poked someone 3 times, in 3 days and recieved an automatic response from Facebook, that said, ”Sorry. You are poking too much.”
How is poking someone once per day, ‘too much’ ?
Perhaps it was someone who complained or blocked you? Other than that, I can’t really say. That’s the problem with Facebook not being more explicit in their rules.
I wasn’t aware there was even a way to report pokes. Mind you, some phones have special Facebook apps that perhaps have such a strange system of being able to report pokes – excessive liking and commenting are trapped by algorithms – it is said that if you like too high a percentage of things overall, or if you like too high a percentage of items on one particular personal profile or page or group or event timeline, then a 30 day ban from liking and commenting would result. If the said excess liking and commenting occurs on a personal timeline belonging to a minor, then Facebook are said to add a warning to this 30 day liking and commenting ban that states that if it happens again, that the person’s Facebook account will be permanently disabled. I have never had either of those two horrors, (although I fear with one timeline I may have gotten myself rather close to it – that timeline got closed by the user, but when I tried to add her again on her new account, she then blocked me – I e-mailed her to find out why, then got told that she felt I had liked too many items and that her mom had told her to block me – even though I had not triggered Facebook’s dreaded algorithms relating to likes and comments, talk about a mom or two being excessively strict), but have had friend request blocks during my Mafia Wars days for adding too many people or having too many requests go unanswered – some of the MW people were liars and said add me in groups and events when they had no intention of accepting, and it did not therefore take too long to accumulate enough to trigger that algorithm, which itself has constantly been getting ever stricter and stricter and stricter – it really quite cramps one’s style these days.
Today I was involved in a very heated political debate on a political group page. Some people were being very abusive to me and I was replying to them using no swear words or anything. They used the worst words you can think of.Then every time I tried to post a comment a yellow triangle came up and the screen took me through to a message saying I should slow down and try again..which I did. This happened several times. The thread was really long with over 100 comments and to illustrate a point I posted a video link twice..but both times the post was accepted. Then when it became impossible to post I was told that I had been accused of spamming. Meanwhile posters were hurling insults at me. So far I have not been told that I am banned from FB but I can not post on the political groups page. I contacted the moderator and he said I had done nothing wrong.I feel confused and shocked because I was just entering into a discussion where others were being really abusive …now I’m just not sure how to use Face Book.I do not know what I did wrong so how can I avoid doing it in future?
facebook blocked me from interacting with pages for 2 weeks starting may 11th -_- (the “interacting” things involvs only comments, I still can like pages posts and send them messages. however, I’m blocked from posting photos and links into groups, I don’t know what’s the relation between commenting in pages and posting in groups. it’s facebook’s logic) and that was for no reason! the last thing I remember is that I copy-pasted some special caracters that turn into smileys when you submit your comment (it’s something popular on facebook these days, called emojis or whatever)
facebook is getting more and more stupid everyday, and let’s not forget the stupid updates
today i found a way to get more xp in a game , many told me that this way will NOT get me banned but when i tried it the game said “your account has has been banned , reason:cheating” then i was very shocked and depressed and sad so i warn every one DO NOT BELIEVE HACKS OR CHEATS OR STRANGE WAYS TO GET WHAT YOU WANT IN FACEBOOK BECAUSE FACEBOOK IS SO STUPID EVERYDAY.
I thought that facebook was better than twitter but now i changed my mind
Today a person who sent me unwanted nude pics on facebook posted a comment, when i copy pasted the original comment showing that i was completely innocent of such a request, the person had me blocked by facebook for defending myself.
