A lot of that thing a few weeks ago was a mishap, not anyone trying to say "screw you, we'll do what we want." Sorry it felt that way :-/. Hopefully if you were incorrectly affected, things got resolved?
Check out https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/521/ https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/521/ for some info on how we're trying to improve the experience when we find apps to be too spammy / in violation of policy. I think the team working on that has already made quite a bit of progress (all while still keeping spam numbers down, which is pretty impressive).

- jdp23 15y agoThanks for the response, mkjones. I certainly don't think anybody at Facebook is _trying_ to say "screw you, we'll do what we want", and I think the new approach is a very positive step. But the impression it leaves as an app developer is that you made a change that disabled a bunch of apps without thinking about the implications, and then rolled it back when people made enough noise. As somebody else says, Facebook's got a pattern of doing this; so you don't have a reservoir of goodwill.
