Friend Requests Blocked for 7 Days

This popup jumps on my friends profile some days ago.

Friend Requests Blocked for 7 Days
We received feedback that you sent multiple friend requests to people you don’t know, so you won’t be able to send friend requests for 7 days.

To keep this from happening again, please only send friend requests to people you know.

I understand that sending friend requests to people I don’t know isn’t allowed on Facebook.

 All is ok, this is Facebook rule, and no matter what we are not happy with this rule or even angry when those 7 days are usually much more longer, there is something else i wish to underline.
After 2 or 3 popups that jumps after this one, when my friend mark option that does not wish to cancel sent requests, another option jumps out. You can find that option in the text bellow and originally find it here:  https://www.facebook.com/communitystandards
So sorry Facebook, but this has nothing to do with sending friend requests to people you do not know.

Facebook Community Standards

Facebook gives people around the world the power to publish their own stories, see the world through the eyes of many other people, and connect and share wherever they go. The conversation that happens on Facebook – and the opinions expressed here – mirror the diversity of the people using Facebook.

To balance the needs and interests of a global population, Facebook protects expression that meets the community standards outlined on this page.

Please review these standards. They will help you understand what type of expression is acceptable, and what type of content may be reported and removed.
  • Violence and Threats

    Safety is Facebook's top priority. You may not credibly threaten to harm others, or organize acts of real-world violence. We remove content and may escalate to law enforcement when we perceive a genuine risk of physical harm, or a direct threat to public safety. We also prohibit promoting, planning or celebrating any of your actions if they have, or could, result in financial harm to others, including theft and vandalism.
  • Self-Harm

    Facebook takes threats of self-harm very seriously. We remove any promotion or encouragement of self-mutilation, eating disorders or hard drug abuse. We also work with suicide prevention agencies around the world to provide assistance for people in distress.
  • Bullying and Harassment

    Facebook does not tolerate bullying or harassment. We allow users to speak freely on matters and people of public interest, but take action on all reports of abusive behavior directed at private individuals. Repeatedly targeting other users with unwanted friend requests or messages is a form of harassment.
  • Hate Speech

    Facebook does not permit hate speech. While we encourage you to challenge ideas, institutions, events, and practices, it is a serious violation to attack a person based on their race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, disability or medical condition.
  • Graphic Content

    People use Facebook to share events through photos and videos. We understand that graphic imagery is a regular component of current events, but must balance the needs of a diverse community. Sharing any graphic content for sadistic pleasure is prohibited.
  • Nudity and Pornography

    Facebook has a strict policy against the sharing of pornographic content and imposes limitations on the display of nudity. At the same time, we aspire to respect people’s right to share content of personal importance, whether those are photos of a sculpture like Michelangelo's David or family photos of a child breastfeeding.
  • Identity and Privacy

    On Facebook people connect and share using their real identities. This culture creates accountability and builds trust and safety for everyone. Claiming to be another person, creating multiple accounts, or falsely representing an organization undermines community and violates Facebook’s. Finally, you may not publish other people's personal information.
  • Intellectual Property

    Before sharing content on Facebook, please be sure you have the right to do so. We ask that you respect copyrights, trademarks, and other legal rights.
  • Phishing and Spam

    We take the safety of our members seriously and work to prevent attempts to compromise their privacy or security. We also ask that you respect our members by not contacting them for commercial purposes without their consent.

Reporting Abuse

If you see something on Facebook that you believe violates our terms, you should report it to us. Please keep in mind that reporting a piece of content does not guarantee that it will be removed from the site.

Because of the diversity of our community, it's possible that something could be disagreeable or disturbing to you without meeting the criteria for being removed or blocked. For this reason, we also offer personal controls over what you see, such as the ability to hide or quietly cut ties with people, Pages, or applications that offend you.

Facebook's nonsenses



This is what you can find when you type Facebook in Google:

"Facebook is a social utility that connects people with friends and others who work, study and live around them. People use Facebook to keep up with friends, ..."

I am asking my self:

1. Why would i use facebook to contact, talk, play....or whatever with my friends. I am talking about my real life friends. I call them usually, they call me,using skype, mobile phone, msn.... and we are not using Facebook chat for that. Or with my family? Why would i chat with my husband, son or any other family member through Facebook. My God they are in the same, or can be different house,city,state.... i am, i do not need Facebook for that, i can reach them without Facebook.

2. So at start - Facebook had an idea but if Facebook users have their own family members or real life friends among Facebook friends, not a large number of them are using Facebook to contact with them - i hope.

3. Those users who has only real life friends of family members, are usually small friends number users.

4. If that is facebook's idea at start why is upper limit 5000?

5. No, upper limit is for something else. Facebook can't live and would not be alive anymore if there are not company as Zynga is, or similar companies. That is reason for 5000 friends number limit.

6. But if that is reason for, what is the point in that famous sentence when you have friend request: "do you know this person outside facebook"?!? Or even worse - blocking users for sending friend requests to people they do not know.

7. We all know that, we were all, or all almost in phenomenal "Facebook jail".

8.Cache - it is so popular lately. It is combination of words, numbers or symbols that you need to fill in specific place, so that Facebook is sure you are not robot.

9. That is the greatest nonsense i've ever seen. On the other hand Facebook is blocking profiles (users) with lot of friends on friend list and ask them to recognize 5 friends by name of the 6 offered names (you can skip 2) based on pictures they are tagged in. You must be robot to do that, and at the same time have 1,2,3 or even 5000 friends.

10. I will not even mention asking for digital photo of original document (passport, driver licence....). With what right? You do not trust me Facebook? Why should i trust you? You are earning lot of money from me and almost 5000 my friends.

11. You are loosing users, that is not surprising me, you will lose them even more with such a policy and nonsenses.

OR

Facebook is counting on that - loosing users because they can't handle with such a number anymore.
