Take a look at our API Guidelines and see if there's anything your
application may have been doing that could have been construed as not being
in the spirit of the rules.

Yep Taylor yet again proving you are the antithesis of a developer
advocate.

That's about as useful as those blank e-mails twitter sent out rejecting 
whitelist applications.  Doesn't Twitter record the reason _why_ they 
suspend the application in the first place?

Re: [twitter-dev] My applications were Suspended

2010-04-23 Thread Taylor Singletary
You've got to start somewhere. We all have an M.O. My first M.O. is to help
people see how they can help themselves. If they're still at a loss we'll
take it to the next level. We're all trying to work to scale here folks.

I'm happy to look up possible reasons an app got suspended if provided
enough information to do so and explicitly asked to do so. I consider your
application details private and will not look them up with permission.
Useful details to provide: name of the application, name of the Twitter user
associated with the application, application ID (if known).

But as a general rule -- the reason applications get suspended is because
they violated something in our guidelines or terms of service, which aren't
impenetrable by any means.

And the reason why people get kicked out of clubs is because they 
violate the rules--but at least they are provided the name of the rule 
that they violated in the first place.  If somebody is provided with a 
ticket and a fine for violating traffic rules, the court doesn't just 
point them to the law library and tell them figure it out yourself. 
The rules aren't impenetrable by any means.  And who are you advocating 
for, the developer or Twitter?  At the very least I would expect you to 
say on the first e-mail, give me your app information and I'll check it 
out. In the meantime check out the API and try to see what could have 
possibly caused the suspension.  as opposed to reversing it and only 
putting out the last part when you are called on it.
