Why there is the need of Facebook Jail ?
Actually this is Facebook’s responsibility to keep their social network safe and clean. For the sake of this responsibility, Facebook penalise the users for not following their simple straight guidelines, by pushing temporary limitations to any related service or account. Permanent account limitations or deletion is only considered in the case of any serious rule breaking activity by the user.
Actually Facebook is the network, for the people and by the people. Here the people can interact with each other, express their feelings and share helpful stuff between them. Beside all these positive values, some dirty minded people has started exploiting negative opportunities from the Facebook system.

This automatic system regularity follows the culprits and punish them in its own way.
Although, the Facebook administration is monitoring all user’s activities, its not possible to filter each and every offensive activity. To make the system more powerful, Facebook always request the users to “Report” any inappropriate content,profile or activity they found on the network. They manually review all the “Report” requests by the users and take the needed action against the complaints.

- Don’t tag people into the stuff unless the material is related to them. Avoid adding people to the groups without their authorisation. This behaviour is a serious spam offence which may lead to the permanent account deletion.
- Do understand the Facebook system completely. Never feel lazy to read their full terms and conditions.

Why am I not able to post on facebook
Thanks for the good article! I was looking for good information on this for a little while already, and with your post, I found it. Thx!
“Actually Facebook is the network, for the people and by the people. ”
Wrong. This is a BILLION dollar business and we have all blindly given them so much information on our lives and they think they are not beholden at all to us. Can you imagine any other business being run this way and with having ZERO customer service? I would rather pay a monthly fee and expect custoemr service than their half-assed way of doing things. I have reported outright porn sites and they say the pages don’t violate community standards so your article, while true, is false that they are don’t keep this environment safe. They pick and chose.
I am locked out of my account and was sent a security code to verify my account, but the code wasn’t working. I requested it be resent, and it they did and still didn’t work. Then, it just stopped, no more codes. No mention of anything about why I was blocked, no warning, nothing. Might have been too infrequent posting or that I was logged into multiple devices. Why not tell customers? This is EASY programming for them to tell the public why.
And because my contact number is used in the FB account, now I am locked out of Messenger which also uses the same number. That is just BOGUS. I thought they claimed you could use Messenger independent of having a FB account? Lame, lame, lame.
They are so out of line so often, its become really pathetic that we all tolerate this. Maybe being in their silly jail is a sign.
How did u get ahold of an actual person? I’m soooomad I did nothing …
We will see. I used every form to report my problem for a few days and a “support case” was allegedly formed. But they haven’t fixed it. I had one other thing haolen: long story, but while I was trying to fix Messenger they automatically removed my phone number from the locked account. Now I can’t use the security authentication if I wanted to.
And to think that account manages a business page of mine and I have paid for ads for that account. And this is how they treat people? Unbelievable. Hope. I one contacts me for business because now I can’t reply.
I AGREE AND TRUST ME FB WILL NOT SURVIVE. WAIT AND YOU WILL SEE DOON ANOTHER SOCIAL MEDIA THAT EILLSHOW THEIR CARE ABOUT THEIR USERS WILL TAKE OVER. AOL WAS HUGE AND NOBODY BELIVED THEY WOULD CLOSE. I am sick and tired about FB. They don’t give a sh for the user. Just watch they will not survive much longer.
I’m frigging pissed I didn’t do anything wrong and I don’t know how to fix this s***….so what if I don’t want to add creep to my page it’s MY PAGE! I don’t even know what I did this is b***-S***. I can’t comment or reply in ANY group I’m in. This is ridiculous that I can’t get a REAL PERSON to help me fix this stuff.
I agree
The ONLY way to avoid facebook jail is to be a liberal. That is all that’s allowed on facebook now. Just try to start posting anti liberal truth and you will get the thirty day ban.I know.I am on my fourth 30 day ban.
