I worked with a company in the past that abused the twitter api to an unimaginable level from a single IP address.
That was a few years ago but at the time I’m pretty sure their blacklisting was between inexistent and pathetic.
- tomglynch 8y agoUsing these keys?
- mhfs 8y agoNo. Different strategy.
- dev_dull 8y agoIt’s sad that you think this somehow reflects badly on Twitter. I appreciate a company that will opt to be conservative rather than ban-hammer innocent people on accident just to stop a single idiot.
- mhfs 8y agoI don’t think it reflects badly on Twitter, it was simply a remark on the state of their blacklisting at the time. I’m sure they could’ve done a lot better if they chose to. Sorry I didn’t expressed myself better.

I appreciate a company that will opt to be conservative rather than ban-hammer innocent people on accident just to stop a single idiot. Off-topic but reminds me of ~2004 where we had a particularly pervasive cheater in our dedicated game server and the end decision of the admin was to just ban the entire IP range of said cheaters' ISP. Not particularly conservative - very effective.
