Because I said SO

What happens when you want to promote a student-made video for a contest, you get a notice that your account has been disabled. It has been frustrating, but I figure there is a reason from a higher power.

So what happened, you ask?

My students made a video for the NCCE conference (Northwest Council of Computer Educators) called digitalkies. I found out that I made the finals and wanted to promote the video, since you win by getting people to vote. I went to the NCCE page and started sending “canned” messages to members, since you have to be a memeber of NCCE to vote. After I sent about 40 messages, suddenly I was kicked off of facebook with a note that my account has been disabled.

Since the episode. I have been many emails to facebook and now I am in the appeal process. It is frustrating, but I learned that you must read the bylaws! After reading, I figure I broke the “solicitation” rule, since it best fits what I did. It is interesting, but I suggest read the bylaws and rules because there are many things that you may not know that could be affecting your account. They also do not give warnings!

Anyway, cross your fingers that this ordeal will soon be over. If not I will be creating another account soon.
