Avoid getting blocked from Sending Friend request on Facebook

Most of the people are getting blocked from sending friend request/Adding new friend. Reason behind this is that Facebook is getting strict day by day and trying to improve security and SPAM. At the first time you’re blocked for 1 day, then 3 days then 7 days then 15 days and Finally 30 days. And even if you continue sending friend request to strangers, you can be permanently blocked ( However I haven’t seen any case of permanent block of friend request).

But Don’t worry here are some tips which will help you to avoid such bans.

Avoid getting blocked from Adding People on Facebook.

• Don’t send friend request to every profile you visit. (This is usually done by every people to flood their friend list).
• If you are adding any stranger, it is advised that first you message him/her and confirm that he/she will accept your friend request.
• Also Note that sending message to strangers is also considered Spam and in the worst case, you might be blocked for sending friend request.
• You can send friend request to strangers but give 1-2 days gap between every friend request you send. Also wait for 1st friend request to get accepted before you send another one.
• It is recommended to cancel your pending friend request if the other person is not accepting your friend request and keeping it pending.

To Cancel/see your sent friend request Go to Privacy > Who can see my Stuff > “Use Activity log”. As show in below picture.

Then click More to expand the list on the left side bar and click “friends”. Now you can see all information about whom you sent friend request and when you became friends with anyone.

Final Words

During the ban period you will be not able to send anyone message too (except who are in your friend list). Avoid such type of bans as during this period Facebook wont allow you to send friend request to person even you know. I too don’t like this feature of facebook in which we can’t be friends with new people, but we have to accept it as it is.
