    Facebook is starting to get really annoying. I just found out today that adding TOO many friends could get your account banned. I remember trying to add someone and a message popped up saying "slow down or you'll hit a block", Kinda ridiculous as a social networking site is meant to allow you to find new friends. I remember reading somewhere The max number of friends you can have is 5000.

    Disclaimer: I DON'T have 5000 friends, Im just stating thats the max you can have.

    Whats your take on this?
    I think its stupid.

    I was also reading around blogs and found out poking too much, joining to much groups and also posting a lot of messages can get your account banned.

    tbh i think adding 5000 friends to start with is stupid anyway
    but then there are people who open a second account, maybe you could try that

    Today once I opened my facebook, already 10 friend request (Friends of friends), I dont know if I should add them.

    But why would spammers want to add lots of friends, Also you would deny the request if its someone you dont know

    Lol opening a second account? no thanks gonna take long, plus I did a lot of stuff some of my friends may even deny my second account request

    5000 is just the maximum you can have. Obviously no ones going to get that much in a week. Its possible though to have 5000 if you are popular

    Well you could say that, but not all celebrities go on FaceBook, some are even fake

    Wah! Where did this come from?

    I know that from sending out too many friend requests will get you banned, but does it apply to accepting friend requests?
