Last night I received an e-mail warning from the Facebook team stating that I was misusing features and that the continuation of this could result in my account being disabled. The e-mail went on to point me to the terms of agreements for Facebook. An hour or so later in my attempt to log into Facebook I had found that my account had indeed been disabled. After reading over the short list of Facebook no-no’s I have concluded that my account was disabled for being named Michael Phelps. Over the past couple days, I have added an enormous amount of friends in attempt to broaden my networking capabilities, which isn’t mentioned in their term’s of agreement. I have e-mailed the Facebook team to try and get my account out of limbo and find out why exactly it was disabled in the first place. Here I faced a problem as my login e-mail address was my old Purdue e-mail address, one in which I no longer have access to. Because of this I received a response back saying I had to email them from my login email account. I have sent another email and am still waiting response. I am asked often if sharing the name with a famous Olympic swimmer affects me and my general answer is no….. However I do face the seldom message on Facebook of random people telling me I am their hero, and an occasional pot joke here or there, once from a professor: awkward. These small effects can be overlooked but now I have had my Facebook account disabled and it has effected me. Just because I am not as famous does not give me any less right to my birth name. Sorry about the rant, this has little to do with CollegeKidApp, iPhone application development, or Battery Go!, however I thought that I many fans out there would want to know the dillio and a little peak into a day as a Michael Phelps.
