Facebook. Ahhhh, the networking web site you have to join after being nagged about it from all of your friends. I joined, spent HOURS uploading videos and pictures and adding friends or anyone who wanted to be my friend. I added too many I guess because one of them was busy flagging all of my videos and pictures over and over again for no apparent reason. This flagging finally took it's toll and POOF, Facebook account disabled.
1) I feel it is super lame how Facebook allows others to decide the fate of your account, especially without showing you which picture or word was offensive to someone and without telling you WHO this someone is. TOTAL FUCKING BULLSHIT. Coward heaven, innit?
2) They give you no freedom on there. You can't post .gif images (any moving image at all, like this for example)
THIS ^ would NEVER fly on Facebook. One, it is too cool, moving AND could be considered "disgracefull" in the eyes of the Facebook powers that be.
You can't ad color to your Facebook page like you can on myspace, you can't ad MUSIC, which KILLS ME. I can not fucking live without music and want it everywhere I can get it. Anywhere I exist, there has to be ROCK AND ROLL or I flip out.
I emailed Facebook at the address they give you:
"Hi All,
for some reason my account was disabled. I have a hater somewhere on my "friends" list who must be flagging
all of my pictures or something. I feel that Facebook is judging me unfairly and does not look into the matter and just takes the
flagging thing too far.
Please help,
Dot Stein"
and they sent this response:

Can you PLEASE email Facebook at:
disabled@facebook.com
AND
simon@facebook.com
and say in subject line "Dot Stein's Facebook account unfairly disabled"
and then in the email say something like
"Dot Stein never posts nude or violent images or anything like that, so why disable her?
Some hater was unfairly flagging her, please activate her account again as soon as
possible. It is UNFAIR that other people flagging can disable a person's account so
easily"
PLEASE. I would hate to start all over, jeeze
