How to Get Your Facebook Fan Page Back If it

Was Disabled By Facebook

Facebook has been known to shut down Fan Pages who are in violation

of their terms of usage (and they may not even know it). Do not despair for there are ways to

reactivate your account without having to re-create a different one.

This article will detail the most common reasons for having

your Facebook Fan Page Disabled and the necessary steps to

get your account back.

Facebook does not want the photo covers to be advertising space. Here are some of the items that may get

your account shut down:

Timeline Photo Cover Errors

Sales or discount advertisingURL or phone number promotionAvoid call to actions like ‘Share’ or ‘Like’ or referring them to your apps tabs or ‘Get It Now’ closesNo images you do not own or have the right to use. Also, no deception or misleading visitors.

While you may see examples of people violating these above terms, all it takes is one complaint from a

competitor to get you in trouble. So follow the rules!

It’s tempting to ask fans to choose their favorite [photo, charity, etc.]. But Facebook is anything but vague

about this.

You can’t have people vote for winners using the Like button

They do not want any of their features and functionality used in

contests. Period.

Seems illogical for Facebook to not want people ‘Liking’ Pages, but it’s true. Facebook has very strict rules

regarding running contests and promotions on the platform.

The most important rule to know is that Facebook requires that all

promotions be administered within applications on Facebook.com using either a canvas Page or a Page app.

Facebook has restrictions on what you can and cannot name your Facebook Page and how it is formatted. Please

see below:

Your Facebook Page Name

1. Your Page name must match your company name.

2. You cannot use generic terms and name your Page just “beer,” rather it must be “South Tennessee Hops Beer.”

3. Your Page name cannot be in all capital letters unless your brand’s name is an acronym.

4. You cannot use character symbols in the name of your Page, even trademark symbols, bullet points, or excessive punctuation.

If you are using a personal page to promote your business instead of a

Fan Page, you are in direct violation of Facebook’s policies and run a high risk

of having your account shut down.

Facebook Profile instead of a Facebook Page

Not only are you risking getting shut down, but you’re also missing out on

many important Facebook Page features that aren’t available for

Facebook profile pages. These include but aren’t limited to:

Unlimited number of “Likes” or followers.Adding Tabs and Apps for promotions, contests, blogs and more.Statistics for monitoring and improving your efforts.Connectivity with other social media platforms your business may be using.

If you use Facebook to communicate about or administer a promotion (such as a contest or

sweepstakes), you are responsible for the lawful operation of that promotion, including the official rules, offer terms and eligibility requirements (e.g.,

age and residency restrictions), and compliance with regulations governing the promotion and all prizes offered in connection with the promotion

(e.g., registration and obtaining necessary regulatory approvals).

Promotions |Facebook’s Direct Rules

Please note that compliance with these guidelines does not constitute the

lawfulness of a promotion. Promotions are subject to many regulations and if

you are not certain that your promotion complies with applicable law, please consult with an expert.

i. Promotions on Facebook must be administered within Apps on

Facebook.com, either on a Canvas Page or a Page App.

ii. Promotions on Facebook must include the following:

a. A complete release of Facebook by each entrant or participant.b. Acknowledgment that the

promotion is in no way sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or

associated with, Facebook.

c. Disclosure that the participant is providing information to [disclose

recipient(s) of information] and not to Facebook.

iii. You must not condition registration or entry upon the user

taking any action using any Facebook features or functionality other than liking a Page, checking in to a Place,

or connecting to your app. For example, you must not condition

registration or entry upon the user liking a Wall post, or commenting or

uploading a photo on a Wall.

iv. You must not use Facebook features or functionality as a

promotion’s registration or entry mechanism. For example, the act of

liking a Page or checking in to a Place cannot automatically register or

enter a promotion participant.

v. You must not use Facebook features or functionality, such as the Like button, as a voting mechanism

for a promotion.

vi. You must not notify winners through Facebook, such as through

Facebook messages, chat, or posts on profiles (timelines) or Pages.

vii. Definitions:a. By “administration” we mean the operation of any element of the promotion, such as collecting entries, conducting a drawing, judging entries, or notifying winners.b. By “communication” we mean promoting, advertising or referencing a promotion in any way on Facebook, e.g., in ads, on a Page, or in a Wall post.

Posting too much in succession. If you’re posting on too many Pages or Groups at once, then you may be considered a spammer.

Miscellaneous Reasons Facebook Unpublishing Your Fan Page

Tagging too many people. If you’ve been on Facebook for more than a

couple of months, I’m sure you’ve had someone tag you in a photo of

advertisements. Doing that will get you banned.

If you are tagging/commenting/posting/sh

aring/embedding in quick succession, or in a repetitive fashion, then facebook might decide you are

spammy. facebook has an idea of what ‘normal behaviour by real

people’ is, and anything outside of that might cause you trouble.

All you have to do is send an email to the following inquiring about the reason that Facebook disabled your account and explain your willingness

to remove any violating content in order to reactivate your account.
