Now officially very angry with Facebook

After yesterday’s saga with Facebook, I had hoped the rude message I’d received was the extent of the problems I’d face. Wrong.

Today, responding to a birthday greeting for tomorrow on my wall, from a friend, I received the following

Clicking the FAQ I discover

1. I have been “blocked from using certain features” because

Facebook has determined that you were using a feature at a rate that is likely to be abusive

OK, bad, because it was Facebook’s error that caused the problem.

2. I’m indefinitely blocked, and this block will not be lifted under any circumstances

“Facebook will not lift this block for you until the entire penalty time has elapsed”

3. It is a violation of Facebook’s Terms of Use to repeatedly send the same message or to make the same post

Right - but the only reason this occurred was your feature told me that there was an error sending a message and I should try again later, which I duly did.

Frankly, Facebook, your attitude it appalling. High handed, autocratic, rude, and flat out wrong. Can some one remind me why we all use this thing?

Epic Fail.
