Hi there,

I looked into this a bit and it looks like non-admins are not seeing the field. Hoping I can make Google Code play ball, otherwise I'll keep doing the triage comments.

Eh?  I don't see an option to choose between "Enhancement" or "Defect"
either when creating a new issue.  Is it hiding somewhere?

Just curious, but how does one go about setting the type of an issue
in the bug/feature request system? I haven't seen any option for doing
so, so my "Enhancement" gets entered as a "Defect".

Yes, there are more important things. But for future planning and
keeping things clean, I think it would be a good thing to have. For
apps that cache Twitter users and have tons in their system,
requesting updates on each user can be resource-consuming, not to
mention whitelist-consuming.

A features request has been submitted as suggested:

I second this, it would be useful. Although, if you are requesting
info for that user, Twitter should be returning that the user no
longer exists, and your app should remove them.

Your solution would be good for bulk cleans, but incremental would
probably be more efficient.

So while it would be useful, I'm not sure its required. I'll vote 1/2
of a +1, as it would be nice to have available, but here are more
important things.

Maybe you should add it to their API feature request site?

I haven't seen anything on the group or otherwise for a basic house-
cleaning method for getting a list of suspended/canceled/deleted
Twitter accounts. As our Twitter apps continue to grow, having methods for clearing out the dead wood from our systems would be quite useful. I don't think anyone wants to end up a few years down the road with a million non-existent Twitter accounts in their system, and I don't
think it helps Twitter to have traffic coming back to them for
accounts that no longer exist.

What I propose is a simple method for grabbing the Twitter IDs of those accounts which have been permanently removed. If we could have returned an array of these ids (much the same as the new Social Graphs methods return only the IDs of a user's friends or followers) it would help us all keep our systems clear of these defunct accounts. Perhaps options for a since_id or since_time would also be useful so we only
get the IDs we haven't already cleared out.

Thoughts on this?
