		<description>Thank you for the very clear information.

Now I know why I get blocked.
Now I understand that I was wrong.

Of being too aggressive adding new friends prospects.
While on the other hand, I really do not have any intention to cause problem to the facebook community.

I wonder if my account could be rehabilitated ?

Please kindly forgive the mess and inconveniences caused by my indecency.</description>

		<description>I understand the logic behind establishing rules and algorithms to block spammers, but shouldn't the algorithm recognize the fact that I share similarities with all the users I request a relationship with? (i.e. same high school, same graduating class, same college, etc...).

For the past year or two, I have rarely used Facebook and had less than 50 friends. I logged in a few days ago and found that I had a bunch of friend requests, most of which were high school friends that I have not seen in over 10 years. Once I added everyone, I found that most of my graduating class were all users of Facebook. Knowing that I'm still in contact with most of them, I started to 'add friends' who I know well enough to call a 'friend'. After I tried to add about 60 friends, Facebook shut me down. 

Even more disturbing, most, if not all accepted my invite. I'm still blocked from adding friends - it's been about 28 hours.</description>

		<description>This is an excellent article! &lt;br&gt;___________________________________________________________________________&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;"Content Similarity - If you are browsing through the site and writing the exact same wall post on everybodyâ€™s wall, thereâ€™s a good chance that Facebook considers this spam activity. Get creative and switch up the content you are creating. Otherwise letâ€™s be honest, you are acting like a spammer â€¦ right?"&lt;br&gt;__________________________________________________________________________&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thank you Nick for posting this info!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Many people who do not understand that SPAM is much more &lt;br&gt;subtle and sophisticated than merely receiving too many unwanted emails. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Especially someone like myself, over 40,  who would NEVER possibly KNOW that posting an - excellent quality, appropriate to context, "Content Similarity" non - commercial, information only link, to as few as 5 of my favorite groups, would fall under the heading of SPAM. This is an absolutely shocking discovery. And one that caused me to be blocked for  3 days from posting to Facebook.

<p>Thank you Nick for posting this info!</p>
<p>Many people who do not understand that SPAM is much more <br />subtle and sophisticated than merely receiving too many unwanted emails. </p>
<p>Especially someone like myself, over 40,  who would NEVER possibly KNOW that posting an - excellent quality, appropriate to context, &#8220;Content Similarity&#8221; non - commercial, information only link, to as few as 5 of my favorite groups, would fall under the heading of SPAM. This is an absolutely shocking discovery. And one that caused me to be blocked for  3 days from posting to Facebook. It was horrifying and demoralizing to learn this ..after the fact.</p>
<p>My confidence in my many happy months of consistently excellent Facebook manners, disciplined correspondences, great friendship interactions, and common sense good behavior has been utterly shaken.</p>
<p>I&#39;m now immersing myself in all things Facebook, before morving forward.</p>
<p>Since I highly value my excellent online etiquette the was I value my own good<br />reputation in general, this has been an experience I&#39;m learning from and arming myself<br />with all the necessary knowledge to make sure it never happens again.</p>
<p>It&#39;s a horrilbe experience to be missing a vital piece of data, incure the blocking penalty for such<br />a minor infraction, and not know WHAT caused the infraction to occur. </p>
<p>It took me two days of frantic reading to learn what happened in the first place.</p>
<p>I politely contacted Facebook and shared my experience with them. And also thanked them<br />when I was unblocked, although I received no replies in return.

I wanted Facebook to know who I am and that I&#39;m a responsible Facebook-er. </p>
<p>The link you provided to Kim Hart&#39;s article is excellent. </p>
<p>Inside Kim&#39;s Washington Post article is another article that is VITAL reading. </p>
<p>Here it is.</p>
<p>Thor Muller wrote - &#8220;13 Reasons Your Facebook Account Will Be Disabled&#8221; on <a href="http://GetSatisfaction.com">GetSatisfaction.com</a></p>
<p>It&#39;s well worth printing out whether you are new or assume you are well behaved and<br /> &#8220;experienced&#8221; with Facebook rules and regs.</p>
<p>Take care all,</p>
