I saw this message in my Facebook inbox just now:
hi my friend and i were messing around and by accident her facebook got deleted her name is payitavi baskaralingam and email is payitavib1596@portal.middlesexcc.edu can we get it back ?
My reply?
I'm sorry, due to a new feature of Facebook, her profile is permanently gone. We designed this feature to automatically disable the profiles of people detected using Facebook while drunk or high. In addition, we report such use to the three major credit-scoring bureaus (Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax) and to your insurance company.
We feel that this change will make Facebook better for everyone, and safer for anyone who is no longer in a relationship.
Shortly thereafter another breathless missive appeared
we didnt use facebook while being drunk or high we were actually in school we just used the same email twice which caused the first one to delete and shes had it for 3 years is there anyway she can get it back?
I really can't help them get the account back, so I told the truth:
I'm afraid not; the deletion is permanent. Attempting to register a new account with the existing email address is a common sign of intoxication. Is there anything else I can help you with?
The moral of the story? I don't know, but I'm still laughing.
