    Is there any way to appeal Facebook's disabling of an account?

    I am not sure what you are trying to say, but since discovering what you mean might involve talking about a subject that is under moderation review in another thread, I am not going to engage you out of deference to the moderator. Have a nice day.

    Is there any way to appeal Facebook's disabling of an account?

    Update: No call back or e-mail from them by the supposed 24-hour deadline, assuming that the phone number was even theirs. I found a disturbing article on NPR about a different phone number promoted as a FaceBook support number where the people were not associated with FaceBook, but answered...

    I don't think there is a legitimate problem with anything I entered or posted. The way their system is set up, once they cut you off, you don't have any good way to contact them to make a case! It was only by Google searching + blind luck that I found a support phone number; most of the...

    Is there any way to appeal Facebook's disabling of an account?

    Hi, A couple of days ago, I created a FaceBook account. I put in my profile information, reposted an anti-bullying message from an old colleague/friend, and made a few positive, informative posts about the value of practicing enlightened (intelligent, creative, flexible, country-over-party...
