Blocked For Adding Friends.

1. Was adding friends of my friends.2 Received warning.3 two days later try to add a person get another warning. 4 This time I message to be asked to be added on from someone I did know and now I get a block for several hour now.  After learning fb considers asking people to be your friends is abusive, I've tried to make sure I am not...and had now only asked a person to be my friend in  message.  There is no place or support to talk to.  I'm a world known artist and have to not be able to contact my hundreds of friends when they are messaging me now. What to do?  If I get unblocked I'm afraid to ever again ask someone to add me.

Facebook has probably determined that you were adding friendst a rate that it considers likely to be abusive. Facebook will typically lift the block within a few days. In the meantime there's unfortunately nothing you can do.

If you can't wait for Facebook to unblock you, perhaps you can communicate with these folks by other means.
