Facebook Still Disabling Accounts

I have heard from over 40 people via two posts over the last fews months about Facebook disabling accounts. It seems that Facebook is still having trouble differentiating between actual spammers and those who are not spammers, but may be conducting activities that are “spam-like.” I have long feared this to be a problem because as Facebook continues to grow. Due to the size and number of users Facebook has grown to and the subjective nature of certain activities, I can’t see these sorts of “wrongful” disables stopping any time soon.

Anyone know of a particular way to go about reactivating your account?

If anyone knows, please email me; I have been the victim of a 3 month long libel campaign by another user - a known troublemaker who has been banned countless times - yet it seems all he has to do is lie about me, and I am the one who gets disabled.

This man is a known troll, banned Internet wide from sites for malicious trolling, a fantasist, he has threatened our safety and that of our kids, and has a long history of abusing people online, often with regard to race or religion. I know he is affiliated with extremist organisations and have sent reams of evidence to FB, but they still take his word over mine.

Any ideas, anyone…. contact me. Thanks

I’ve had my account deactivated twice, and it was reactivated shortly after I contacted Facebook support and assured them I’m not a fake account or spammer. The first time I was blocked because my name had ‘The’ in it. The second was, according to support, a fit thrown by some spammer-identifier they were working on, at the same time I happened to be promoting one of my apps on friends’ walls. In both cases my account was restored the day it was blocked.
