Why/what Causes A Temporary Block. I Havent Used It Much In 2 Years Cuz Lived I

I moved to a very remote location in NM and had horrible reception for the internet.  we have now moved to a city where we have great reception and I was so excited to get back on Facebook and hook up with old friends.  Several times it said I didn't exist and then it said that acct was temporarily blocked or something to that affect.  I don't have a clue what is going on with them.   My daughter pulled up her acct and she can still go to my home page, etc. so I know I'm there........HELP)

The most common reason for disabling an account is use of a fake name. Facebook requires real first and last names. You'll find more details on this Facebook page. If you think that may apply to you, you can request a review of your own situation here. Otherwise, your best bet may be to use this form.

        Or...

Facebook's spam detection system has determined (rightly or wrongly) suspicious or deceptive activity that violates Facebook's Statement of Rights and Responsibilities. For a review you can file this form, or, if you're your page's admin, you can go to your page's admin panel and click Appeal.

        Or...

Facebook is making an improvement to the database that your account is stored on. During this time, you will not be able to gain access to your account. In most instances, this maintenance will last only a few hours. (Facebook doesn't do site maintenance on all accounts at the same time, so it's possible that some of your friends will have full access even though you don't.) If the issue lasts longer than 24 hours, you may wish to follow these instructions to clear your browser's cache and cookies. If that doesn't work, try submitting this Facebook form. This information is from this Facebook page, which you may wish to consult for further guidance.

If none of the above seems to apply, file this Facebook report.
