Title: Apparently you can be blocked for adding too many friends to quickly on Facebook

Yep.  They give you one warning if you add friends to quickly and then they block you if you try it again.  And the time frame doesn't matter, either.  I hadn't added friends in days, but today I added two in a short amount of time and that's all it took.  Re.  Tard.  Ed.

So it would be possible to get someone blocked by sending them a bunch of friend recommendations, or would it only work if you request the friends?

The latter only, I think.  I've never done the former a lot, so I could be wrong about that.

Oh, and they don't tell you when the block will be over, either.  I think they say a few minutes or hours on their FAQ, and considering how I was blocked after adding two friends after a couple of days of not doing anything, I could wait a couple more days and they could still block me the next time I add a friend.

I add three or four friends an hour and have never had a problem. 

Have to wonder what the deal is.  Maybe you just piss them off.   :p
