Hello awesome readers. Today I come to you with a cry for support.
Thank you to so many of you who supported last week’s blog post about honoring copyright.
Unfortunately, this action ruffled some feathers of one of the Facebook groups in question. They’ve chosen to have their members report my Confessions of a Homeschooler Facebook account as abusive and Facebook has disabled my account in response.
PLEASE HELP!
Today I come to you with a cry for support to have my account reinstated. I don’t know if it will work or not, but I’m hoping if we flood Facebook with requests they may take notice. I’m currently trying to appeal to Facebook to get the account reinstated and would appreciate any support you are comfortable giving!
If you feel led to support my cause, please use hashtag:
#WeLoveCoah
Feel free to copy and paste any of the tweet/FB posts below, or create your own!
Please Reinstate http://www.facebook.com/ConfessionsofaHomeschooler for www.confessionsofahomeschooler.com @ericahomeschool #WeLoveCoah
Feel free too share links to your favorite COAH printables with your followers too! Any support is appreciated!
THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for all of your support, I am so blessed to see so many people already standing up for what is right as well as helping to petition for my Facebook page already!
P.S. Make sure to check in tomorrow, I have a fun freebie for everyone!
Sorry you lost your account, I honestly hope they reinstate it, but copying and sharing things in the world is so easy people sometimes don’t even know that they are doing anything wrong. BTW do you own that Facebook logo at the top of your post…
You do not need to own a trademarked logo to use it in a blog post. It would fall under fair use, and there is plenty of precedence for this. Also, just because something is easy to do does not make it right or excusable.
So sorry that this is happening. I’m sure that FB will see the whole issue and let your page go back up(may take some time but I’m sure it will happen). We can all just say a little prayer for the people who did this. Your blog and facebook page have been an amazing support to me so praying that things will calm down and go back to normal.
I don’t understand what was so bad about that blog post? Am I missing something?
Erica,
I’m am so so sorry that you’re having these problems with your things being stolen!!! I don’t have a FB account but wanted to let you know that your site is an invaluable source of information and I can’t thank you enough for making it available to all of us!! You’re an amazing woman. Strength and Courage to you as you battle through this.
Blessing to you my sister,

It looks like your FB was re-instated and I thought was a super awesome but I don’t know?
