Would you lose a lot of hard to find contacts? I'm trying to start a Facebook page - a few weeks back it wouldn't accept my email and name - it claimed the email was already registered to another name. So I went through the system to have the account deleted, which evidently takes 2 weeks. 3 weeks later I'm trying to open an account with my name and email, and I now get a message that it is permanently disabled, no chance of appeal. The full message reads: Hi, Your account was disabled because your behavior on the site was identified as harassing or threatening to other people on Facebook. Prohibited behavior includes, but is not limited to: Sending friend requests to people you don't know. Regularly contacting strangers through unsolicited Inbox messages. Soliciting others for dating or business purposes. After reviewing your situation, we have determined that your behavior violated Facebook's Statement of Rights and Responsibilities. You will no longer be able to use Facebook. This decision is final and cannot be appealed. Please note that for technical and security reasons, we will not provide you with any further details about this decision."

On further research, it looks like this has happened to many: Facebook complaints So, what if this happens to you - how much would you lose? I figure Facebook needs me more than I need Facebook, so no real loss on my part. |

Yeah, youŽre probably better off! The people that are REALLY important to me I have contact with through other means. IŽd probably lose some acquaintances, but thatŽd be ok with me. |

That seems bizarre. If someone was using your email address, I would have thought that you would be receiving some notifications from Facebook from time to time. |

I don't want to worry you, but could you have a virus that somehow spams people on Facebook from your email? |

Scary. Someone can trash on you, you don't have an account, they provide no specifics & shut you out? Incredible. I'd be very miffed. |
