So you tried to spam people with messages advertising your application, and they disabled your account for it. I don't see the problem.

  My reaction as well. Building the application is orthogonal to publicizing it. Their objection was about how he did the latter. But there is a reasonable complaint here: that fb is not communicating well with developers about precisely what is and is not kosher. It's one thing to simply give the rules in the ToS (nobody reads them, and they're phrased to give the website broad discretionary powers of interpretation), but another to proactively educate developers. But fb has really good support in my experience. This might just be a transient glitch while they catch up with demand. --- The (arguably misleading) title reminded me of an experience of mine: http://programming.reddit.com/info/qy9l/comments http://programming.reddit.com/info/qy9l/comments There too documentation was incomplete, and I was ignorant about what they considered ok. But the way the company dealt with my ignorance was much more unfriendly. (I don't mean to badmouth anybody, these guys might well have improved since. I keep thinking about how the way startups interact with users, and how it is a key differentiator. This story is just part of that thought process.)
