Oh Facebook. You took me back. But I fear our relationship has been irrevocably damaged. O Rly? The explanation (emphasis mine):
Thank you for providing this information. Facebook has limits in place to prevent users from running programs that automatically scan the site for certain content. Although this was not the case in your situation, viewing or refreshing pages at a rapid rate may cause your account to be disabled. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide more information about this system.
However, after reviewing your situation, your account has been reactivated. Please significantly slow down the rate at which you browse Facebook and refrain from violating any of Facebook’s Terms of Use.* You should also avoid using systems or products that automatically refresh Facebook pages. Further misuse of the site may result in your account being disabled again. We appreciate your cooperation going forward.
By all my friends’ accounts, I am the most casual of FB users. Or perhaps lazy is a better word? Either way, I’m hardly page-refreshing to beat the band.
People have come out of the woodwork telling me of others who have suffered the mysterious disconnect from the sky. I’ll now be on the lookout.
*which I already …..have? Right? Didn’t you just say….oh forget it.
