File a complaint with the State Attorney General's office over privacy issues. I filed a complaint with the State Attorney General's office because they disabled my account, right after approving an ad for a praying group that's free mind you, they took my credit card info and charged me and then disabled my account. They won't reply to any emails, so I filed a complaint with The State Attorney General's office over that and privacy issues. You can't take my credit card info and then disable my account and I know nothing of what you do with my info.

File a complaint with the State Attorney General, that's what your state taxes you're paying, are for. Use the resources available to you and make Facebook be accountable to the law. – Lalah, on November 18, 2008 18:15

I didn't get a warning. It was just poof gone. I signed up for an ad on Facebook which they promote, get an ad, get an ad, and so I did, for a non-profit group for praying. Yes, praying. They approved my ad and thus began to charge me by the day . After an hour of approving my ad, my account was disabled. Yep, disabled. They took my credit card info and gave me an approval by email and then disabled my account. My prayer group is still intact, but it has no administrator because I'm not there. I've email them several times at disabled, info, and apppeals @facebook.com To no avail. So then a friend of mine, who's an attorney, said that taking the ad was a financial transaction. Ha! So it's commerce. You can't take my money and then not make resources available to me that I paid for. So I filed a complaint with the State Attorney General's office. And I'm taking Facebook to small claims court. If we dont do something beside whining and griping, Facebook wins. In Canada, a group of students are suing (class -action) Facebook for privacy issues. Americans need to do the same thing. We whine and whine, and never take action. Unfortunately, in this society, change only comes through the courts. When Facebook is forced to defend its reputation and spend thousands of dollars, then it will clean up its act. Write your State Attorney General and file a complaint, use privacy issues as a reason, whatever, just get it done. For those with businesses, sue for disruption of service when you paid a certain amount for ad. They don't respond so you don't know what's been spent, because most ads are charged by the click. You need transparency in these situations. So sue in small claims court, what's $54 bucks, and that's if you lose. Draw attention to the local paper by sending in your suit against Facebook in small claims. Most small papers have nothing to write about that's this great or newsworthy, imagine the write ins they'd get from people who probably had the same problem. Refer to the thousands of complaints here on this site. Get affadavits from people on this site if you can. Just get it done and start taking actions. We're Americans for Goodness sake, we know how to get things done and take names later.

my following/followers count has been off for four months by one. it's getting frustrating.

no devices activated (tried to activate the cell phone to the account, but that's another issue altogether.)

i know i am only following the amount of people who follow me. not one extra. please help me out with this. :(

badkitty_, bug 3398 is the bug number for your issue. The bug report that Alex filed on your behalf is as a duplicate of #3398.

API-related issues, such as the one reported by JonathanEunice are tracked separately on the API issues log, which has a different number series. Hope that helps. – Emee, on November 18, 2008 02:36

Update on SMS delivery problems

We uncovered and fixed a major problem with the SMS service that resulted in a large number of messages being dropped. This problem affected users from all carriers.

There may still be problems that remain. We know there’s additional things that we need to do to make the system more reliable. However, fixing this problem should result in a significant improvement in message deliverability.

When doing webpost via ftp/sftp, the "WebPost" button becomes a "Copy URL" button. Seems like the behavior should be the same for MySkitch.

I am having the same issue, and have waited over a week for a response to my updated support ticket. The ticket number is 333777. Please help. Thanks.

Agreed - keeping us informed, even if it is only "we're still working on it" would be useful and reduce my feeling of being left in a void.

Hi Jed. Are you currently following @internetradio and @ferris_wheel? Meaning, you see messages from them on your Twitter home page at http://twitter.com/home?

If yes, you can stop following them so you don't receive their updates. To do that:

1. Login to Twitter

2. Go to http://twitter.com/internetradio and click the "Following" button in the upper left corner of that page. It will open up a panel with a "Remove" button. Click "Remove" and you'll stop seeing their updates on your home page.

3. Do the same thing with http://twitter.com/ferris_wheel – mdy, on November 16, 2008 07:03

My Twitter page is filling up with SPAM from two sources: http://twitter.com/InternetRadio and http://twitter.com/ferris_wheel. How can I stop that??

i have juno too, but can't upload the address book to find my friends =/

Oh. Let me clarify. On Election Day (Nov 4), Twitter disabled deletes to help the site keep up with the tweet volume. They re-enabled it on Nov 5.

I mentioned the elections because that was when the OP started this topic.

A couple of days ago, Twitter had to disable deletes again for a different reason. As of today, it's been re-enabled once more.

Hope that clarifies. 8-)

I dont understand the link between elections and tweeter's post deletion ???

I believe deletes came back the day after the elections, but had to be disabled again a couple of days ago.

Thankfully, it looks like message deletion is officially back. Was able to delete messages again. Yay!

There's also a post on the blog: Updates on Deletions

Would be good if you could customise the notification email text

Use case : for organisational accounts (e.g. public sector) who might freak out the follower; "Australian Tax Office is now following you on Twitter!"

e.g. "-user- is now following you on Twitter! Feel free to block us if you're uncomfortable with us following you. We're simply using this channel to provide updates on our events and services."
