Facebook messages are a way to exchange private communication with another user on the social networking site. If you misuse the feature, Facebook will block you from sending messages for a time period between a few hours to a few days. The site does not provide guidelines as to exactly how long your block will be, rather you can only wait for the block to be lifted.
Message Volume
Facebook monitors how many messages users send out, and flags those users who send out a large quantity of messages in a short period of time. This behavior is indicates that a user is likely sending out messages to people they don't know, or spamming other users with links and unsolicited information. When Facebook determines that you are sending out too many messages, your account is likely to be blocked from sending messages.
Unwanted Communication
When you send a message to another Facebook user, she is able to report your communication to Facebook staff as being inappropriate. While Facebook may not block you for receiving one complaint, if multiple users report that you are sending unwanted messages, a block is likely. To be safe, only message users who you actually know and respect someone's wishes if she asks you to stop sending messages.
Ignored Warnings
Facebook will often send you a warning if you are using the messaging application in a way that violates the site's policies. If you ignore a message that explains how your behavior needs to change, you are more apt to receive a block. Continuing to ignore warnings from Facebook may result in your account being completely disabled, which will not allow you to log in to your account ever again.
Considerations
When Facebook blocks you from sending messages, there is no way to have the block lifted early. In the mean time, you can still use the other forms of communication available to you on the site, such as the chat feature or wall posts. Since private messages are the only way to reach out to nonfriends, you will only be able to talk to people on your friend list until your messaging privileges are reinstated.
