So I’ve been hit by the Facebook Nazis. “No Facebook foh YOO!”

And I got the boot with pretty minimal activity. I’ve heard about other people who have had similar experiences, but I was under the impression it was to do with blasting your whole contact list at once, hence the rule to invite only 10 friends a day into an application.

I was ‘facebooking’ a detailed note, work related, to about 15 people. Yes, I understand the “share on facebook” method, and yes I get you can forward one note to a lot of people. But I wanted my note to be BCC’ed. Something I don’t think Facebook has the capabilities of just yet. And if they do, boy did I miss that day at school. I’m assuming that they do have some sort of “make this private”, but I never dreamed a handful of notes would cause such a ruckus.

I threw open a bunch of tabs in Firefox, copied the note into all contacts and started hitting send rapid fire. Unbeknown to me, as each tab closed and the next note was sent, one after the other, I was quickly raising the red flag, agents were racing to their stations and bells were sounding all throughout FB HQ. After about the 11th shot, a big red box appeared with big red text and screamed at me: “You Have Been Kicked Off Of Facebook!!” Or, at least that’s what I saw. I think it read something like, “Your account has been terminated” or “Your life is over”. Something to that effect. (Should have grabbed that screen shot.)

Anyhow, I fired an email off to the support people and got a lovely note back saying my situation is being reviewed, with a case number and all. And so I wait. Feeling like a criminal. Perhaps now I can get back to those things I turfed aside due to my 2007 addiction.
