GoTwitr was not designed to be a spam enabler. Take a look at our writeup, we were featured on the front page of drupal.org when we opened our site. Our sites purpose was to.
1. Let people send out Invitations to join and follow them on Twitter. 2/ Automate the process of finding like minded followers without doing mass follow / unfollow 3. Read my press release that was on Drupal.org http://drupal.org/node/599506 About a month ago we added a schedule / random tweet module, that I'm assuming was the reason that we got banned. But how would I know? We programmed it to not send the same tweets 2 in a row and not to let people send more than 1 an hour. But I'm assuming that was the issue. If I would have gotten an email from Twitter, I would have turned off the module. People were using our site for months before we added that feature. a) I had a contact us link on every page of the site. b) The Twitter account that the oauth_client was on has a valid email. When my site was deactived on Friday, I looked at the /oauth_client page of the website and it showed my client was Inactive. The next day I check oauth_client page again, and I was told that I was banned from that service. I guess they were afraid I'd write another application...... This was turned off without notice. If my ISP turned off my Internet site becuase my credit card expired and did not send me an email telling me what was wrong, how long would I stay with this. I spent 100s of hours programming a site that was designed to improve peoples Twitter experience, I never sent out a Tweet to the 5000 users in my account, I never sent out an email to anyone that ever used our service. I never tried to charge a penny to any of my users. If I have a few users that abuse the servvice, should it be deined for everyone? Here's what I would have expected, somehting like this. Dear gotwitr, It appears that users of the website gotwitr.com have been spamming. User xxxx sent out 3000 tweets this week. Please make sure your service does not allow this type of activity or your account will be deactived in 7 days. Thanks for keeping the Twitter community clean. Twitter People. Read the Terms of Service on GoTwiter that I wrote Read the Blog on Drupal that showed what could be done with Twitter. http://drupal.org/node/599506 On my Terms of Service, I asked all users to follow the Golden Rule. It does not appear that Twitter does this with its development community. This makes me want to never develop a Twitter application again. Frustrated. JimF
