Hello, I just spent about 45 min browsing discussions about how spammers caused the third party developer application to be banned and thought I'd ask for some tips on this.
I'm writing a web-based app, not live yet, that will allow users to schedule tweets, in a more customized way of existing web based apps. I'm visualizing, (possibly naively) that Professionals such as Real Estate agents who would like to tweet property listings, but schedule spread out tweets, or mobile app evangelists who would like to search my site for some applicable articles about the Mobile world and schedule those. Not in an abusive way, just to keep their Twitter account from being too silent in between their personal updates. So if I get abusers creating accounts on my site, who want to schedule tweets of Amazon affiliate links for expensive watches, or porn site owners who want to tweet their own links, how do I prevent my application from being banned? (besides through intensive monitoring of what's being scheduled by myself). I am thinking of limiting auto-tweeting of scheduled tweets, per/user, one tweet every 4 hours. I did read http://help.twitter.com/forums/26257/entries/18311, but this didn't mention the risk that the third party app developer takes with users violating these rules. Thanks for any guidance on this
