Just last year, about five people on my facebook friends list got their account disabled by the Facebook team for reasons best known to facebook only. Theses guys actually did nothing wrong…or so I think. There are several reasons why Facebook may disable your account and you need to be careful because being a facebook user for years is not enough to give your account any immunity. If you’re into serious social marketing, it’s advisiable not to put all your eggs in a basket and explore other opportunities on Twitter and Google Plus. Anyway, that’s not the main issue here, I’m just gonna list below possible reasons why you Facebook account may be suspended.
1. Using a fake name
This is the reason most facebook accounts get suspended. What do you expect when you use the name of an object as a name? Always use your real name on facebook and even if you must use a fake name, it must still be a normal name.
2. Posting on walls in rapid succession
When you’re posting stuffs or links on friends’ wall and groups rather too fast, Facebook might have a feeling you’re a bot and kick you out. Some of these bans can be automated so be careful.
3. You’re sending too many friend requests
Sending too many requests or sending friend requests to people you don’t know might get you into trouble. There’s a limit to the number of requests you can send daily and you should get a warning when you reach this limit. Trying to proceed after you get the warning might be dangerous. Also, when you send requests to people you don’t know and you get reported, I don’t think it’s good for you.
4. Posting offensive updates and pictures
You’re supposed to behave yourself in a public place like facebook, right? Posting offensive stuffs isn’t right, you don’t need to be told. 
5. Posting duplicated texts in too much messages
This is spamming and you can get banned by facebook bots if you do this. I hate spammers, so does Facebook.
6. You’re poking rather too much
I’m not sure how far this is true but it’s rumored that your account might be disabled when you’re poking people rather “too much”
7. Your account is a potential risk to other facebook users
Just a few months back, there was a problem with facebook with pornographic pitures all over the place. It was caused by a virus and I read that facebook “isolated” accounts affected by the virus. You should also be careful with applications you use on facebook.
8. You’re liking too many fan pages
There’s a limit to how much pages you can like daily and ignoring the warning and passing this limit might get your account in trouble.
9. Suspicious payment information
Paying for facebook advertisement or game credit with a credit card carrying a name different from your facebook name may get your account disabled
10. Affiliation with a Doubtful Organization or Page
11. Having more than one account
Lots of people have two or more facebook accounts and facebook may decide anytime to delete duplicate accounts. It does happen, so be careful.
12. Facebook profiles are only for humans!
When you create a facebook profile for a dog, a cat, an organization or anything other than a normal human being, don’t expect the facebook team to overlook that.
13. Using a fake date of birth
Never use an unbelievable date of birth like 1910 on facebook because this is just one of the little reasons your account might be banned
14. Posting copyrighted materials
15. Getting reported by rather too many people
Note: If your account is disabled, there’s absolutely no trick to get you your account back. All you can do is to appeal and hope you get it back. It’s doubtful though, so it’s better to prevent it. Also, you shouldn’t rely on facebook alone for social marketing as it’s gonna be disastrous when facebook finally decides to delete your account. I haven’t been using Google Plus and Twitter that much lately but writing this article is like convincing myself to wake up.
You are right bro. I am not sure which one caused my suspension. But whatever it is, it is not for good. They sent me an email saying that my account is in “good standing”. But then why should they suspend it? Kind of contradictory people!
Some of those bans are performed by bots and they probably reviewed yours and saw it was done in error. I’m just speculating though
Who is Facebook to say what is or isn’t a “fake name.” Morally speaking, they have no right to state that any given name is fake. A person’s real name is defined by that person and nobody else.
My real name is The Ceej, but Facebook won’t let me use The as a first name. So, I used the thing that sounds closest to “The” I could think of. Does this mean the entire Facebook could be suspended for violating Facebook’s terms and conditions?
They’ve got some crazy policies but it’s Facebook, the world’s largest social network, they can do what they like cuz of that. What can we do?
We can defy them, publicly lambaste their policies. Point out that The Rock is allowed to have The as a first name but The Ceej is not, which is blatant favouritism. We don’t need to live in fear of having our accounts disabled. They need us. We don’t need them. We need to show them who’s really the boss in the relationship.
HINT: Not them.

You may not immediately get banned for liking too much fan pages but liking too much fan pages in a day can put some temporary limitations on your account.
I’m a little fed up with the arrogance from the “big players” on the
internet (Google, Yahoo, Facebook, Craigslist, eBay, etc.)
I’ll shut my computer off and stay offline, before I’ll jump through
any hoops on these sites.
I’ve never hesitated to tell any of the staff at these sites where they
can shove their “services”. Straight up their A$$.
They could all shut down tonight and it would be fine with me.
I believe the internet would be better off without them.
They now believe the world depends on them which is almost true. That explains their arrogance.
One last point….The fact that Facebook is so popular, is a perfect example
of what a big dung heap the internet has become.
No wonder the world is such a mess. It’s populated by sheep.
My account was suspended a few months ago, and even though i contacted facebook several times in order for me to get a copy of my photos they regected… is there anything I can do? I just need those pics i uploaded…
thanks
There’s no way to get those pictures back unless they remove the suspension. You just got to keep trying, Nick.
been trying to login to my account and its unavailable and its been the whole what must I do,how am I suppose to know if I am not blocked.
It might be a temporary issue. You should get an errror message if it’s actually been disabled.
How much page I can like per day ? Is it up to 100 or 200 ?

My facebook has been suspended it was named “name the fakes in Kashmiri groups” i have not allowed any abuse or personal attacks! What i have done is publish the fake names i was 100% sure of, so what could be the possible reason it was suspended, obviously at times u get idiots using abusive words in comments but unless i sit on the computer all day i cannot moderate them. I also think what is happening is that all the fake ids i have pointed out, they have reported the group many times so it may have been suspended/removed by FB. What do you guys think!
I believe someone reported the group. They’re probably offended because they were named and thought the best thing to do was to report the group to Facebook.
U gave very useful informations…
Thank you DON….
I cannot take seriously someone who uses the word “much” instead of “many”.

I think that the real problem here is that there’s no warning, and no clear guidelines. Just saying “too many” or “more than a certain number” really doesn’t help people avoid getting banned.
Thanks for all .15 special reasons to let us knpw…
Nice Post
