Today, Nick made a post on the effects of abrupt termination of facebook accounts. Facebook should have a flexible policy wth regards to the termination of accounts. I really appreciate their intention to avoid spamming but they should have a two tiered approach where they warn the user first and give the user a chance to mend his/her ways. They can terminate the account if the user violates the terms for a second time. This way, it could help those user’s who violate the terms without even realizing it. Come on, how many users take their time to read through the TOS. Since people are investing quite a lot of their time on facebook, they should have a courtesy to warn first before terminating the account. It will save the accounts of those users who are not aware that their actions inside the facebook violates the TOS. If the termination of accounts becomes widespread with more unintentional users getting their accounts disabled, there is a good chance that people will not invest their time on facebook. I hope facebook is more sensitive to the time invested by their users on facebook.
