    You might have been reported for unrelated invites. Facebook is really cutting down on spam quickly with their sites. You could contact support but if you're actually spamming I doubt that will do you much godo but get attention. Is your account verified?

    man i really hate this problem.. they should do something about it because it's really annoying not being able to add friends. I can understand the privacy protection and all but damn it's getting out of hands..

    The thing is it looks like you add random people you find interesting anywhere(eg. in a fan page) and a lot of friend requests from you went unanswered. Go to edit friends option. then list your friends and remove the pending friend requests you have sent. You'll be able to add again.

    This Error is because of sending continuously requests to known person on facebook until and unless last requests which we send previously is not get approved .

    If found that several features on FB periodically don't work ... but they're probably working on it.

    You have been blocked temporarily from facebook. It's because you added more friends than the limit. You just need to wait for few days before you can add more friends.

    Search Google News for the latest on this.
    FB is experimenting with new methods to combat spammers.
    I got "banned" from sending friend requests for 2 days after sending just a handful.
    Was looking for people in my area that enjoy fishing a particular river, as I do.
    Thought that is why FB has specific search tools available- so we can network with others that share our passions.
    Unfortunately, too many have a passion for illicit activities, hence the safeguards.

    Maybe its cause you added too many people in a short period of time.

    Some smart people who made vBulletin forum scripts added a really helpful function called "SEARCH", the one which helps other people find solutions easier than writing a new thread every other day or so. But apparently many forum users don't give a damn to use it, and that's the reason why we're getting the same questions every day now.

    If you had used this Search feature, you would see there was already someone with the same issue, and it would lead you to this post which contains "fix" for 95% FB friend request problems.

    Have a nice day.

    This has been a problem with FB from the start and it has been getting worse. I can understand where they are coming from but as users cant export or backup friends lists its sometimes like playing Russian roulette when you are trying to increase your contacts/friends. Facebook wont give you exact figures or reasons for being blocked or having an account removed. They have very generic and vague emails that are sent out.

    I have encountered this problem a number of times and have now written a FB app that allows me to create a backup list of my friends should I have an account removed again. This enables me to add my friends from my backup list or send them messages asking them to add me back.

    If you have been warned I would suggest backing off adding people, posting comments or generally doing anything that could be classed as spam by FB.
