There couldn't be anything worse than for someone online to get banned by Facebook. I mean there is surely other things that could be worse, but getting banned from facebook wouldn't be that great either. There are people that have been using Facebook since its beginnings and have such a history there it would be hard to see it go away. To make sure this never happens to you, we will go through some of the things that you must be careful of what not to do.
Facebook has worked hard to make sure that they keep spam to a minimum and if they even think that you are trying to spam on their site they will ban you. Facebook should even be a little bit more cautious because of all the problems that people had over at Myspace. Once Facebook opened the doors to the general public there was a huge influx of people coming over, most people came because they couldn't handle all the spam inside Myspace.
Take a look at what Facebook considers spam.
Make sure that you are not trying to add a lot of friends in one day. This is usually around 100 people a day. It is a good idea to keep the amount of people that you add a day to around 60 or less, unless you are getting more suggested friends that you may know.
Second thing you will not want to do is send out a exact message on all of your friends walls. This is going back to the Myspace days of when you would see the exact same thing about how someone won a free purse, although it was on your most manliest friends wall. This happened when one of your friends accounts go hacked and then the spammer went in there and posted random spammy wall posts. It might be true that you have the same thing to say to all of your friends, but if this is the issue, just update your updates in your feed.
The next thing that you will want to watch out for is sending a mass email. There is a limit in Facebook on how many people you can send an email to that is identical. If this is something that you still really want to do, just make sure to change the title of the email so that it reflects differently to some of your friends.
The last thing you will be considered spamming for is if you send out a mass poke or promtional links to all your friends. It can be that you feel like poking all of your friends for fun, but just don't do it.
