Regulus

Well, it was bound to happen. My Regulus alter-ego got deleted off of Facebook.

They gave me an administrative email address.

Rant time.

( My Rant: Tell Me What You Think )

Edit (7:51): So I got a reply back from Facebook:

Hi,

Fake profiles are a violation of our Terms of Use. Impersonating anyone or anything is prohibited. I apologize for any inconvenience but you will no longer be able to use the account. This decision is final.

Thanks for contacting Facebook,

. . . and so I replied:

I don't want to be a harrassment, and I understand you, personally, are obligated under specific rules and guidelines in dealing with Facebook users and their alternative-identities (and must encounter countless complaints, considering the pervasiveness of them), but is there perhaps a higher organizational authority I could present my case to? Rules only exist, after all, because someone creates them. I am not challenging your enforcement of the established Terms of Use, but offering a suggestion of how they could be adjusted to suit users' preferences-- something that should, I'm sure, be presented to those who create them rather than enforce. As I explained before, these very rules in the Terms of Service may be unnecessary. If they are necessary for a specific reason, I'd really like to know why; the explanation I was given smacks of "because I said so" and arbitrariness.
