This morning i i tried to log into my Facebook (as usual) but found out can't log in.
It just comes up with a box saying my Facebook has been disabled!
I've had Facebook since about 2009 & this has never happened before.
I'm sure I haven't posted anything that would go against Faxebooks t&c's.
The only thing I can think of is my page is called Germany Jones...which is not my nan, but my FFacebook has always been called that.
I have mu real name Julie Phillips on my Facebook page as my nickname.
Do you think it's cause of the using a nickname rather than my real name?

Yes, you have violated their ts and C's0 -
Facebook regularly go round and purge accounts that aren't using "real" names.
Here's some details:

The problem you may now have is getting the account back as it's possible you may have to send a copy of some ID to Facebook showing the name, in your case, Germany Jones, to get it back.0 -

I wish Facebook had sent me a warning to say why I'm violating their terms & given me a chance to rectify it.Neil_Jones. wrote: »Facebook regularly go round and purge accounts that aren't using "real" names.

Damn predictive text said Germany instead of Geriann! I use Geriann Jones or just Geriann on all my internet things.
I tried sending a photo of me with the Geriann name on it as ID, but as I guessed Facebook didn't accept it. (By the way Ithe photo was from years ago when I did some modelling under the name Geriann.)
I can't think of any ID Facebook would accept that has Geriann on it...For obvious reasons.
how am I meant to change my Facebook name to my real name if I can't sign in?
Why didn'tFB warn me & give me a chance to rectify the issue?!? >:(
Does anyone know how to contact an actual human being at Facebook? Rather than their automated forms.0 -
Interesting. A relative of mine joined the police specials and was advised to change her Facebook name away from her real name for security reasons.0

Somebody needs to tell Facebook that putting your FB page as a different name doesn't mean you're a criminal & it can actually protct your identity.
I've been using the name Geriann since i got the Iinternet in 20their name frequently!ther social media website & forums don't care what name you put. Back in the Myspace days people often didn't use their real name & some changed thier name frequently!
When I started on the Internet I chose to go by Geriann because of my mental illnesses. I wanted totalk about my pproblems freely without worrying that family/etc would see everything.
later I had the added reason of an abusive husband, now ex-husband. Everything I've ever uploaded or written has been the truth...I don't pretend to be anything..It's the real me just a different name so certain people can't find me.
I'm furious that Facebook have disabled m account with no warning!

you should warn you're relative (& the police) about this.0 -
Facebook don't care what you want. Facebook care what advertisers want. You are just the content being sold to advertisers.
If you don't like their policies, don't use facebook.Changing the world, one sarcastic comment at a time.0 -
The fact is when you join facebook you agree to their terms and policies, if you dont like them or agree to them they you dont join. you are not forced to join facebook0

If you are happy to give that much information out on here, maybe not using Facebook isn't a bad idea.0 -
