Som noen av dere kanskje har sett, er jeg tilbake på Facebook, etter lengre tids fravær på grunn av uoverenstemmelser med ledelsen der. Hendelser i starten av året fikk meg imidlertid til å tenke på hvor destruktive slike konflikter er, og jeg besluttet å legge våpnene ned. For å gi innblikk i saken, legger jeg med den autentiske e-postkorrespondansen med Facebook. Dette forklarer også hvorfor eventuelle pokes ikke vil bli gjengjeldt. Du vet: The first poke is like the first coke.

Brevene er av forklarlige grunner skrevet på engelsk.

Dear Facebook
18 months ago my account on my email address  was disabled, due to «inappropriate poking». Now, thinking of all the changes happening in the world and people coming together, as because of the financial crisis, the cease-fire in the middle east, the closing of Guantanamo etc, I think it is time for us to put our weapons down and become friends again. To create peace, one side have to take the first step and admit their faults.

I have learned that poking is not just an innocent activity for fun, but that peoples lives are affected of it. I have grown, and see things different now. Therefore I hope we could end this «disabled»-thing, and again reunite in a happy fellowship.

Yours sincerely
Aslak Lima Braut

Hi Aslak,
Facebook has limits in place to prevent behavior that other users may find annoying or abusive. These limits restrict the rate at which you can use certain features on the site, including the message feature.   Unfortunately, we cannot provide you with the specific rates that have been deemed abusive.

Your account was disabled because you exceeded Facebook’s limits on multiple occasions, despite having been warned to slow down.  However, after reviewing your situation, we have reconfirmed your account and you should now be able to access it again.

Please be aware that if your account is disabled again, we will not be able to reactivate it.  While using the message feature, keep in mind that it’s possible to run into a block based on how many messages you send and how fast you send them.  It’s also possible to be blocked when either starting a new message thread or replying to a message.  Lastly, deleting old messages will not allow you to send more messages.  When you are allowed to resume using the message feature, please proceed with caution to avoid hitting the limit again.  Let me know if you have further questions.

Thank you for your cooperation,

Stella
