Suspended Accounts still being returned in follower data

2008-11-12 Thread Jesse Stay


I'm still noticing suspended accounts showing up in follower data.  Of  
course, you can detect them by checking the error message returned,  
but this is wasting near at least 5 minutes for each user in the  
script I'm running.  Is there a way you can exclude those from the  
list of followers?  Is there any reason to keep them in the list of  
followers?  I'd rather not have to keep trying to follow people you  
guys know are suspended when you know they're suspended.  I could put  
them on my own list, but how do I know their account has stopped being  
suspended?  That would be a huge help if you could remove them from  
the followers list.


Thanks,

Jesse

Yeah, I've wanted this just with my regular Twitter account.  They
don't automatically remove suspended accounts from follower lists, but
I too wish they would.

Instead of removing them, you should just add a field like 'status'
or something similar.

A query parameter enabling me to not return the suspendeds would be  
ideal if you do that.  The problem with just a 'status' for each  
follower is I still get all the suspended accounts returned in the  
follower data, taking longer to query all their friends.  This can be  
anywhere near 50 and several hundred per individual.
