Blocking My Friends Request.

The friends request on my Facebook was temporally blocked due to a nagative report by someone whom I was recommended by his mutual friends. My questions are:1- Coundn't he ignored me instead of reporting me spam? 2- Are all this individual's friends on his list known him in person? Does Facebook investigate this kind of people who cause interferrance? If mutual friends are not a good reason in requesting friends, why would Facebook mention about people we may know? Please investigate the person who caused my block and let me enjoy my Facebook the place where good friends should meet.

Let me first start out by saying that I do NOT work for Facebook. I am a facebooker just like you. Sometimes people dont know that when they are posting their question, so I thought I would clear that up.

Are you sure it was due to someone reporting? It sounds more like Facebook's "Acceptable Use Policy".

Let me explain,

Unfortunatly, Facebook is quite spammed. All the time Facebook finds ways to stop spammers, and spammers find ways to trick facebook. Due to that, ordinary users like us can get penalized. Especially new users. Those that have an account for several years won't get penalized that easily.

You can always verify your account by the phone number. That way, they will cut you a little slack.

Facebook implement a policy called "Acceptable use"

They can set limits to how often you can use a feature.

If you use it too often, they can stop you from using it for a while. Not only is this to stop you from spamming other users, it's there to provide protection to facebook (too many requests can bring the server to its knees, which means facebook goes down).

I suggest you wait for the feature to be unlocked (Usually 24 hours), and then tone it down on the usage. This includes reseting passwords, or changing any information. If you send out to many friend requests, they can lock up your account. :(
