Brian, It is not unreasonable for developers to hope that Twitter does not suspend applications for "could violate rules" and "possible rule violations." I trust this was just a slip of the tongue on your part.
We know you must maintain a good-citizen ecosystem. For that to happen, we really do trust that you suspend applications for actual rule violations, which you can point to as to how and when you discovered those actual violations, and *not* for mere suspicion of rule violations.
