Facebook Complaint - When Friends ''Requests" Status Is Removed Without Specific Info As To Why. - Face Book Friends Requests.
Face Book Friends Requests. - Complaint
Being fairly new to Facebook, at first I didn"t want to waste my time on it. My wife and kids started a page for me, so I tried it. Found many friends and past and present friends found me. Sometimes things would pop up, you and 12 other people have this person in common. I would send out a request, and have had great luck having them come back as friends. Before Facebook, if you wanted to meet someone, you just asked. Sometimes they put out their han and sometimes not. That was the end of it and no matter what, life was still the same and did go on. Facebook gave me a 2 day suspension from seeking and adding friends. There was no,"this is what you did to bring on this action", just a list of things that might have brought this on. It's a little like your guilty of something, and there is no such thing as innocent, or do we even care less. When you get a friendship request, there are options to take such as not excepting the request. Or prehaps blocking the sender from accessing your page anymore. I don't know how this whole thing works into "freedom of speech" or "freedom of opinion".But even though I have not drank in a few years, I still remember that you could ask a girls phone number in a bar, it either worked out or it didn't, no harm, just move on.
The only way to know if your gonna mack a friend is to ask. Many of my friends were made by this thing called introdution, something that was quite common before computers. Ther is know reason to be punishing people without even allowing the god given, constutional right to know what "exact",infraction they have commited. Even if you sign an agreement to something, it must not overstep any boundries which may cosidered questionable or may violate all or part of constitutional boundries. If a person cannot ask the simple, harmless question, would you like to be friends. Without fear of some 50 year old highschool prom queen, bitter in life, or just still very stuck up, wanting to make someone else's life equally sad. The "the do not except","do not allow",and "block this person from my page",are all great tools. I do wonder how many people have fallen victem to "your guilty and this social network could care less if you like it or not", mentality.
In my spare time I will be researching the basis of my own questions and concernes, meanwhile you may want to look into a better way of informing people what their "exact" violation was before you instill anykind of retrabution. We are not little children, if we make a mistake simply explain it to us what it was, and we'll fix it.
If somehow you could get the letter into the proper hands at facbook, I would greatly appreiciate it. In my opinion, they have done a pretty good job of insulating themselves from any negative feedback, shame on them.

Freedom of Speech is in reference to the government, not a company Just as a retailer can refuse service to a customer, FB can also limit a person's access as stated in the agreement between FB and the individual.

It's a free site and when you join, you agree to the terms and conditions of the site. They don't have to give you a reason for disabling friend requests

Freedom of Speech is what allows you to come here and post feedback, positive or negative, on a public website.
You don't have that with Facebook, however.
You are familiar with "no harm, just move on" and "That was the end of it and no matter what, life was still the same and did go on" and I would suggest you consider stepping back for a second and seeing if you can apply these to your situation.

Facebook isn't really for meeting new people. It's for connecting and reconnecting to family and friends, past and present.
I am personally creeped out by strangers asking to friend me. I've never reported anyone for it; I just decline the invite. But I have considered reporting the person, and it doesn't make me a bitter sad person.
What I don't understand is WHY a married man with kids wants to meet new people on the Internet.

I've reported several people for unsolicited requests. If I don't know you, do not request me or you will be reported. Some people use Facebook as a dating site and it's very creepy.

I guess even facebook has it share of "hallway monitors". To the OP.. Keep in mind that facebook isn't the endall beeall of the internet. It's just a fad.

I agree FB is designed for connecting with current and past acquaintances. I report folks I don't know. Same as I would with other networks like linkedin, etc.

If you want freedom of speech and the right to ask as many people as you want to be your friend... I recommend building your own social network website.
However if you use someone else's you are bound to the TOS.
And as others have said, the First amendment only applies to the government. Other citizens have every right to stop you from talking on their property, be it a store or a web page

I agree FB goes a bit overboard. I got put in FB timeout once because one or two people found something I posted objectionable. My FB stuff is locked down so that only friends can view it. Ya know with friends like that who needs enemies.
Here's what you can do man. If you want to befriend a 'friend of a friend' then instead of doing a direct friend request have the friend in common do a 'Suggest Friend'. It's like a mob button introducing you as a good fella and you won't get whacked by the FB gestapo.
Don't mind the my3cents neggies. You're voicing a valid complaint I've read many times about FB.
Good luck and take care.

I did the same too, stew. Not because of any lockdowns but ... just because I don't want non-friends snooping my account.
