To Whom It May Concern, I Received A Notice That I Have Been Blocked From Sen

To whom it May Concern,   I received a notice that I have been blocked from sending messages and requesting friends!!!   FYI…Your computer generated program has obviously had a meltdown, as I primarily requested friends of those who were listed as once attending my High School in Clairton PA.   Please keep in mind that I am an old man/ Combat Disabled Veteran who is wheelchair/housebound, and have not kept in touch with folks from my school for forty years.   My search was in earnest, I am not a Spammer, and requests were made by name and general information.   After 40 years my friends and acquaintances have changed in their appearance so it was a crapshoot at best.   Furthermore, I take great exception to being discriminated against as a senior citizen. Also, if any invite for friendship given on my part (without messages) offended anyone I humbly apologize for them being alarmist and just plain weird…   Lift the block immediately……………..

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 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 (should only be a short while), and then tone it down on the usage.
