WARNING to all Facebook users! My account was disabled without reason!

“We Are Slaves to Facebook”
If you really think about it we are. We sign up for free. Promote their site, tell our friends about it, give them traffic. Then, they place advertising on the site, make money and give us nothing in the end. On top of all that, they can kick us off anytime they want. Where are our rights? I wasn’t even told WHY my account was disabled. Maybe I should charge Facebook a marketing fee since I’ve done so much for them. Maybe everyone should. After all, they would be nothing without us.
Prior to losing my cool on this one I did send an email to Facebook per their TOS page. I have yet to see a response. I am not the first and will definitely not be the last to get booted for no reason.
Maybe someone should consider starting a social networking site that treats us like humans who are intelligent enough to make our own decisions on whether or not we want to be friends with someone that emails us too much, posts too much on our wall….or god forbid posts a picture of video that might offend us.
Oh this is the kicker….when Facebook disables your account they don’t tell you for how long. Apparently we’re supposed to sit there with %$^# in hand waiting patiently for the almighty to reactive it!
Here’s a snapshot of what I got from Facebook:
