My facebook account is telling me that my 'Friend Limit is Reached'?

[ahlahnahhh.]

Every time I try to add somebody to my friends on facebook, a pop up saying
Friend Limit Reached.
Sorry, you cannot add any more friends or fan more pages without removing some first.

I don't have too many friends, I only have about 300. And I know people with 700.
I tried deleting somebody, but that didn't help.
Does anybody know what to do?
I can confirm people that have added me though.

Hi Alanna

I've heard that if you add too many people over a short period of time, then Facebook blocks you from adding more. Have you tried to add heaps of people lately? Also, if you are adding people that you don't know, facebook will crack down on that and block you from adding as well (you know how if you get a friend request you can click to report that you don't know the person). 300 isn't much in terms of facebook friends when you consider that some people have thousands, so unless it's just a facebook glitch, maybe you have added a lot of people recently and facebook thinks you're a spammer or something?? Give it a couple of days until you try and add someone as a friend. Then try adding them and if it doesn't work, contact facebook and let them know what's going on and they can hopefully sort it out, or in the very least provide an explanation as to why it's happening. Good luck =)
