Would my Facebook account get blocked permanently if I used the inbox too much?

[Eric the Nighttime Knight]

Right now I'm sending the same message to most of my friends in my friend list but just as was doing that I was given the following warning:

"Warning: Please Slow Down. It looks like you're using this feature in a way it wasn't meant to be used. Please slow down, or you could be blocked from using it."

Then after typing in captchas that would allow me to send in the final message I read the description below the warning and what appeared to be typing in the security code:

"Security Check. This is a standard security test that we use to prevent spammers from creating fake accounts and spamming users."

I'm worried what would happen to my Facebook account if I sent in too much messages. If I ever get blocked from ever using the inbox the only way to communicate with my friends would be writing in comments but I feel it would be very tiring and doing that while revealing too much detail wouldn't work for me. Otherwise I may have to shut down my account and create a new one. Today is the first time I received such a warning and I never received it before in my five years of Facebook use. I don't know what to do to make that problem go away, and I'm not even spamming nor using a fake account; my account is legitimate and I don't want to get blocked from Facebook by doing too much of what I didn't even know as wrongdoings.

Would my Facebook account get blocked permanently if I used the inbox too much? How should I use the inbox in a way that was actually meant to be used? What should I do to prevent spamming and abuse of messaging? Should I make a new account if I ever get blocked?

well yes, if you send people the same message because you are trying to make money advertising something..... facebook is going to detect that and block you

stop doing that

Make sure not to send a message to a whole bunch of people at once. Send the messages individually, or maybe just to 2-3 people at a time. If you send messages individually, once you send a few, wait a few minutes before sending more, because sending a whole bunch of identical messages at once to a bunch of people can be perceived as spam by Facebook. For now, just wait until tomorrow to send the rest, if possible. It's happened to me before, a couple of times in a row, actually, because I was pranking a friend (Through my actual account, which is my only account). I never got banned from using my inbox, though. So just make sure not to send the same message to a bunch of people at the same time, and you should be fine. I hope that this helps!

Technically, you are spamming your friends. Facebook has been designed to prevent people from being hacked and then spamming the hack to their friends, so when you start sending out the same message to your entire friend list, Facebook is gonna tell you to stop. I have a friend who did the same thing except he was trying to win a contest by asking people to like his photo, Facebook gave him the same warning twice and then shut down his account. He had to make a new one. I would suggest stop spamming your friends with whatever your messaging them and just use messaging for regular conversations.

Don't worry, there's a way around this.

I had the same problem. I just started text message with sms and emailing

my friends because facebook did not make that service for spammers.

BUT if you still want to send unlimited messages go to aboutfacebook.in

to see the link, hopefully its still up, I saw it a few months ago. It goes

step-by-step on a way around this. It's so easy, so sometimes when

I'm sending 200/300 messages, I don't get any warnings.

Good luck!! =)
