I got banned from Facebook....

This morning I got an email from Facebook:

"You made one or more wall posts that violated our Terms of Use. Among other things, posts that are hateful, threatening, or obscene are not allowed. We also take down posts that attack an individual or group, or advertise a product or service. Continued misuse of Facebook's features could result in your account being disabled."

What the *bleep*?! The only wall posts I made within the last month were:
- review of the movie “Wanted” which I posted on the wall of the Singapore group and mySingapore app
- a message on the Battle Stations wall asking players not to post their problems there because we don’t check the wall regularly

Possibly I was removed for “advertising a product” so better not post movie reviews.

I have NEVER made an obscene, profane, hateful, attacks an individual or group wall post (forum posts during the Chaos days yes, but wall posts never).

There wasn’t any warning or a pink box of death or anything. I just got removed.

I'm not going to create a new account because I don't believe in creating multiple fake accounts (not to mention all the photos and apps that I’ve added, I don’t want to have to start again from scratch).

I've sent an email to disabled@facebook.com and started working on a Facebook clone which I’ll call “Freedombook".

Ouch. The way they just deleted you like that didn't make any sense at all.

Would it be completely legal to create "Freedombook"? And just out of curiousity, what are your reasons for doing so?

Heh, irony near its peak. Don't get too involved in Freedombook though; we still are waiting for Episode 2, amongst other things (ocho?). I'm also getting a job this summer, so there will be cash that could be spent on certain online products *nudge nudge*.

Anyway, hope you have a good summer that's not too cluttered with work! <(^.^)>
