Send a Friend Request When Blocked

 
Facebook has a new trick up their
sleeve which is
annoying the heck out of many many
people. In
fact, I myself tried to send a request to
someone
who lives less that 15 minutes away
and it
wouldn't let me. So if you've gotten
the Facebook
"Do you know this person?", "Friend
Request Can't Be Sent" message while
trying to send a
Facebook friend request, here's the
GeekDrop
trick on how to outslick Facebook and
send that
request anyway. It's actually very
simple.
Here'swhat you'll be needing:
* Firefox (FF)
* The FF extension named
addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/
addon/966">"Tamper Data" 
. (Install it, and then restart FF).
Once the addon/966">"Tamper Data"
extension is installed,
you'll find it's menu item under the
"Tools" menu in FF.
Click it when mentioned below to
open it's window.
So let's start, simply follow the steps
in the screenshots
below ...
Here's the screen you'll see when
Facebook blocks you
from trying to add a friend. The title of
the dialog box
says "This Request Can't Be sent", and
"Do you know this
user personally?". We want to go
around this ...
Facebook has gotten a little smart and
when you click
the "Add as friend" button on the
target's profile, you
may see the top screen again.
* You'll need to get to the "Send
request" screen as
shown above. The trick here is to just
keep clicking the
"Add Friend" button, and closing the
"Do you know this
user personally" dialog box over and
over until the "Send
Request" screen shown above finally
pops up. It may be
the second time, it may be the 50th
time, but it'll eventually pop up.
* When it does, go to the "Tools"
menu in Firefox and click the
addon/966">"Tamper Data" menu
item near or at the
bottom of the list.
click the "Start
Tamper" menu item.
* And then finally, click the "Send
Request" button in the
screenshot above.
Once you've clicked the Send Request
button with
Tamper Data started, the above
screen will show, make
sure that the URL shown looks like the
above one, so
you're "adjusting" the correct data.
Then Click the
addon/966">"Tamper Data" button.
You'll come to the above screen next.
Follow the
instructions as shown and click the OK
button. If or when
any other "Tamper with request"
screens popup while
you're in the middle of editing the
above data, just click
the "Abort request" button on it to get
it out of your way.
Once you click the OK button on the
edit screen you'll see
the above popup dialog, just click the
OK button. This
needs to be done to keep all data
proper before it's sent. Once you OK
the Content Length dialog, you should
see
the above screen, as if you were never
blocked from
sending the facebook friend request.
If you get the original "this request
can't be sent" screen again,
just do all of the steps over again. You
may have
to do it a few times until it works.
