Over
the past year, we've presented the case of "why" and "how" to use
MySpace.com as part of your overall marketing plan. Well, we now have
some news that you should be clearly aware of before creating a MySpace
for your next show. At any point in time, MySpace can delete your account without warning.
We've had this happen twice over the past two months to two different
accounts. One account was named after one of the characters of the
show while the other was set-up to represent an entire production.
We
spoke to our advertising contact at MySpace.com and he could do nothing
to fix the situation. In short, if we had paid for an ad campaign on
MySpace for the accounts that had been deleted, this wouldn't have been
an issue. Just an FYI, campaigns don't come cheap on MySpace and
aren't exactly a fit for the typical theatregoer.
The days of using MySpace as a commercial vehicle at no cost may rapidly be coming to an end.
If
you have a MySpace now that you set-up for no cost, please beware that
you could wake-up one morning and see it gone with the following email
in your inbox from MySpace. It's important to stress that if they want
to remove your MySpace account, you receive no warning - simply an
email saying it's been deleted and that it can't be reinstated.
Hello,
MySpace has deleted your profile because we received a credible complaint of your violation of the MySpace Terms of Services.
Prohibited activity includes, but is not limited to:
-Any automated use of the system, such as using scripts and/or bots to add friends, send messages, etc.
-For
band and filmmaker profiles, MySpace prohibits sexually suggestive
imagery or any other unfair, misleading or deceptive content intended
to draw traffic to the profile.
-MySpace also
investigates credible complaints of copyright/trademark infringement
and will delete any materials that infringe upon the intellectual
property rights of third parties.
For a more thorough
list of prohibited content/activity, please refer to the MySpace Terms
of Service located at the bottom of MySpace.com.
If we delete your account, it cannot be reinstated.
Thank you,
MySpace.com
