Facebook.com Internet scam! They delete your account if you have too many friends! Los Angeles California
Facebook.com is operating an internet scam! They should be shut down! They falsely appear to be promoting friendships and networking. After you have spent countless days or weeks, downloading photos, networking, etc, if you have too many friends, they delete your account, with no advance warning! I am a model. I had 700 friends. Many were modelling agencies. I had modelling offers from the agencies. Last night, without notice, Facebook deleted my account. My modelling contacts are now gone, causing me a loss of considerable income.
Facebook has built an empire, based on friendships. However, if you ask strangers to be your friends, they delete your account. The ironic part is, if they do not allow you to ask strangers to be your friends, why is the friend list of everyone, displayed, for anyone to see? This does not make any logical sence. If they frown against making friends, why not hide all friends lists from view? I have spent more than 200 hours on Facebook, networking, creating leads, etc., just to have some minimum wage earning idiot touch a key, and it's all gone. They should reimburse me at my hourly wage, for the time I have wasted on Facebook. I intend to seek legal action against Facebook, for reimbursement my wasted time.
For their deceptive practices, I intend to blast Facebook through every multi media source at my disposal.

I do agree, some of the things you may have had on a your profile probably violated facebook's terms and conditions. Even if you just hit agree without reading this section while signing up, everyone knows it's against the websites policies to post incriminating, semi/fully-nude, or inappropriate photos on a public social networking site. On another note, it has nothing to do with how many friends you have. I have over 1,000 friends on my facebook due to networking and have any if all important information either saved on a flash or simply printed out. Either way, nothing has ever been deleted from my profile. I've learned throughout high school and college to never trust technology for anything. You need to print out a copy or email it to yourself so that you have a personal copy of everything. I have had so much info lost through the internet, it's not worth it. So, once again, it has nothing to do with the number of friends you have, it might've even been a malfunction with your computer or internet provider that resulted in the deletion of your account. Guess you'll have to start over from scratch.

""They should reimburse me at my hourly wage, for the time I have wasted on Facebook. I intend to seek legal action against Facebook, for reimbursement my wasted time."" yeah, ok. Facebook is FREE, correct? Terms of service? Have you read their TOS? Do their TOS allow you to run a BUSINESS ENTERPRISE from their FREE SERVICE? NO??? Gee. If your such an in-demand model, why don't you book gigs through your agent or modeling agency? Where's your website? NO??? Ya gotta use a FREE SERVICE (which is NOT intended for conducting BUSINESS-read the TOS) and now you think they owe you something?

You did more than you are saying. My guess is photos that push the line of porn. You said "However, if you ask strangers to be your friends, they delete your account. " My guess is you asked a minor to be your friend and his/her parents saw your request then reported you.

Facebook hasn't caused you problems, YOU have. Facebook is not there to hold your hand. I suggest you invest in a pen and a piece of paper.

I'm assuming you are a professional model. Then you should have had a better system than using facebook or some other site to store your contacts in. When I was in business I used the web for my web page contacts but had a day planner with all my contacts. I stored info on my computer but always had actual paper files for my clients. If these agencies want you they should have your contact info as well. I don't see any rip off here. You relied on one source to store info and didn't have a back up in case there was a problem. Get over it and learn from your mistake.
