Well it happened to me and I set up another ‘reloaded’ site but I didn’t let it go and it re-instated. I could now delete it out of spite but why should I when I have had such a warm welcome back, It is nice to be missed, especially when the page is used as a promotion tool. Oh and yes, I know that it is not the only social network and they (FaceBook) should remember that.

I use social networking/media as a basis for my connections and have done so for a while now, so my eggs are not just in one basket, trust me.

Something similar happened to me! They are a bunch of fanatics let me tell ya… eventually facebook will be found out. I am very curious to know what’s going on behind the scenes.

Hear! Hear! My account was recently disabled for “excessive use of a feature” It would appear that the only safe thing to do with a Facebook account is not to use it. The Facebook admins are an arrogant and contemptible bunch of would be Nazi Gauleiters who will hopefully fade away once people realise that there are far better social networking alternatives out there. Might I suggest Ning?

That’s just crazy. The interesting thing about censorship like that is when people find out about the cover being deleted, guess what? They’re going to want to see it. I’d use this to help promote the book as much as possible. “Hey, here’s the book too hot for facebook…”

I think the social networks haven’t caught up with how people use them. LinkedIn is kind of static, but could be perfect for business use and contacts – much more appropriate than Facebook for example — if they set it up with a more fluid networking system. Facebook would be perfect for setting up reunions and events, announcing book signings, etc, but they’ve got to recognize that that means a lot of communication to a lot of people. MySpace is more about “ME” than social networking. And Tribe is still barely hanging on, though it’s perfect for group interaction. TPTB have not caught up with the rest of us. I’m wondering if I should follow the rest of the world to Twitter.

Chris, it’s on my “Books in Print” page. You will see – it looks a bit like a vintage 1920s saucy postcard. Hardly anything to send anyone running for the hills… or their Bible. :-/

I’m interested to know what this picture was so bad to be banned by Facebook, but as you said was perfectly accepted by some reputatable shops like WaterStones.

They are getting rather strict on their rules, and it just gets worse for App developers, for as you can imagine for big Apps we get 100′s of messages a day if not more, if we were to respond to them all, we’d be banned, if we don’t we get complaints we aren’t responding.

There is no winning…
