I use Firefox and I just got this message. Rather unfortunate since I live abroad and use facebook to talk to my friends.

You can’t send messages over chat without getting a reply. It’s never worked for me so it can’t be done. If a friend doesn’t want to chat, you can’t send to them using chat. It’s impossible.

If someone wanted to chat with me and I didn’t want to, all I have to do is close the chat box. I can also choose to appear offline.

I’m still getting these error messages today on Facebook. And when I scour the FB site to figure out how to contact them about it, guess what, there’s absolutely no way in. No contact us info, no nothing. Bad policy, and bad system.

I’ve seen a similar warning screen calling me a spammer, telling me not to spam, and that if I continue to spam, I’ll be banned.
For no reason. I update my status a couple of times a day I suppose, but I comment on someone’s wall maybe once a week.
It hasn’t happened in a while, but it’s confronting, because you think “I wasn’t doing anything? How do I know what not to continue doing to avoid being banned?”.
Anyway, do better Zuck.

If you guys are interested in communication tools, check out is a start-up called VingTalk from the Silicon Valley:

http://www.vingtalk.com/cpp

It’s still in beta, but VingTalk allows group and voice text messaging and features threaded messages.

The dirty little secret at Facebook is that they do not want you to communicate, they just want you to consume as much irrelevant advertisement as possible. Their restrictive policies to limit communication with friends on Facebook are simply appalling for a social network. So much for the grand mission of “helping you connect and share with the people in your life”.

Bah, I still use them… whatever.

This looks me a bug on FB part, not IE. FB just can’t handle IE, and when the problem occurs, they blame innocent users and block their accounts, – and send stupid emails. So better not to return messages:-)

“Only your Facebook friends are on your chat list, so even the fact that the error exists is odd. Is there really such a thing as sending too many messages to friends?”

In Facebook’s opinion YES. I once got my account temporarily banned for sending messages via facebook’s mail feature within a short amount of period.
I was the “Historian” of an honors fraternity on my college campus and we had about 150 members, all who I am close to and facebook friends. I had a small canned message that was to the effect “Hey, If you have any other photos that you haven’t sent to me, can you email me so I can add them to the yearbook? Thanks.” This message was at the bottom of a more personal email I wrote for each individual person. I’m a fast typist so I facebook-mailed all 150 people in about 2 hours.

But because each email ended with the same paragraph, I was tagged as a “Spammer” by facebook, even though all 150 people responded to me, answered my questions etc, so it was quite obvious I was in deed a friend and none of the people I wrote to considered it “spam”.

I then had to converse with a facebook representative for two days to get my account back, and I was told not very kindly to not use Facebook as a means to communicate with my friends, as “That’s what an email or a phone call is for.”
