Evidently you're on Facebook to network, and in order to do that you have got to produce a friend record.
You don't want to do this too aggressively - maybe 40-50 friend requests per day.
It is not only the quantity of friend requests you make, but how many are made in a brief period of time.
Facebook wrote: "Your account was disabled because Facebook determined that you were going too fast when sending friend requests, despite being warned to slow down, or because your friend requests were being rejected at a high rate.
" Facebook will give warnings if they determine too many requests are made in too short a interval of time.
Making three or four friend requests in direct succession might result in a warning.
