The other day someone showed me a YouTube channel saw a design layout that was different (and much better looking) than the typical YouTube channels. After some inquiry turns out that they hadn’t done anything special to get the design as they had set it.

After about three mins of fiddling around in the YouTube settings, I saw this:

When you see an “Upgrade” button, you cannot not click it. The result:

I love the clean design layout.

This post has two purposes:

1. Request for your help in getting my account back
2. Tell you the story about what happened

Firstly, send Facebook an email interceding on my behalf — appeals+dw5w8wy@facebook.com — asking them to reinstate my account profile.

Secondly, I’m going to tell you the story of what happened.

This past week I’ve been getting several emails from Facebook friends asking me what happened to my profile. The sad news is that my Facebook account got disabled on Eid day!

I guess I got a little excited and was sending out Eid holiday greetings to my groups and friends last Monday. I was prompted with a warning message for sending too many messages too quickly. I made the mistake of thinking, “let me send just one more…” — After which I got logged out of Facebook telling me the message pictured above.

I did some research and asking around for the proper course of action and was directed to send an email to the following email addresses:

• disabled@facebook.com
• appeals@facebook.com

First email I sent them was the following:

Hi,

My account  was disabled. I was sending out Muslim holiday greetings to my friends and groups and it gave me a warning. I used the same message for the different groups I administer to save myself time. Is there any way that my account can be open again?

After a couple days - not having gotten a response I tried again, and they responded with the following:

Hi,

The Facebook Team has received your inquiry. We should get back to you soon. In the meantime, we encourage you to review our Terms of Use (http://www.facebook.com/terms.php) for more information.

Thanks for contacting Facebook,

The Facebook Team

After another few days of no results, I wrote them a poem:

Is there any hope of me getting my account back
or shall I be patient a lil while longer?
We can all use some slack,
which makes us no less stranger

Some of us can cross the line in the excitement
but no one was put in danger
Looking forward to my account’s reinstatement
preferably sooner than later

You guys do us people a great service
It would be sad not to continue to be a part of it
It would be of great happiness
If you let me back into it

I hope my poem hasn’t annoyed you
I just hope to appeal to the better part
I would love to be back into facebook’s white and blue
Getting my account back would be a start

Looking forward to your reply.

It’s been about three days since I wrote them a poem and have yet to hear anything from them. Those of you who have active Facebook accounts — if you can send an email to appeals+dw5w8wy@facebook.com interceeding on my behalf to get my account reinstated — I would really appreciate it!

I found a couple online articles that talk about how and why your account can get disabled:

• 13 Reasons Your Facebook Account Will Be Disabled
• Facebook Disabled My Account by Scobleizer

Read them and be aware!
