Anyone else having this problem? My apps would usually last anywhere from 10 - 20 minutes after posting to users. I was doing pretty well too until today.

My apps are getting disabled within 5 minutes after posting, usually around 2 minutes and I get this email which I never got before:

Hi,Great experiences on Platform allow users to build out their identity and share engaging, relevant content with friends. To ensure users continue to have a positive experience using apps and sites on Facebook, we run automated screens that monitor user feedback and disable apps receiving negative user feedback (including, but not limited to, feed story hides, app uninstalls, and reports). Negative user feedback undermines user trust, which violates the spirit of our Platform Principles.Your app (ID #) has been disabled because our automated systems detected that your app is receiving negative user feedback. To help prevent this from happening in the future, we suggest you actively monitor user reports, volume of content published per user, and any spikes in share or install activity (real-time analytics available on Insights: ). You may also be in violation of our Facebook Principles and Policies: . More specifically, please keep in mind the following Best Practices: .If you think we have removed your app erroneously, please read about our appeals process and complete the form to appeal at . We will work quickly to evaluate your case.Thank you,The Facebook Platform Team
I posted to 10 people so i was kinda suprised it was disabled so fast.
 
Work on your copy, and provide some real value to the user plus a way for them to actually do the actions your app may be automatically doing for them.
 
yea that is for sure good advice we really cant dump shit on fb users any more and then think of making money with that as well we have to give them some thing with that shit
 
LOL... I know what I'm doing. It's the automated system, not people actually leaving negative feedback as the email suggested.

I figured out why it was getting disabled so quick, it was my app making certain API calls ;) Changed things up and it lasts a little longer now.
 
API calls are 100% critical... how you engage FB tells the security department a lot more than you'd imagine. That's one reason why custom apps are ESSENTIAL... if FB sees that 1000 apps are requesting the same thing in the same way (esp. if different than the "legit" apps), and then those 1000 apps are going and doing spammy things... well, it's a safe bet that they are using a viral script. FB Security/Bot => *select all, delete*

HINT: try dropping offline_access and just using publish_stream permissions on a quarter to half the apps you use. You won't be able to store the tokens for long periods (3-6 hours normally), but you'll be able to welcome post (or two) and FB will often (not always) leave these apps alone, as they don't fit the model that the Bot is looking for.


007- are you able to run apps that are actually working? i have a few hundred old apps.... perhaps we can jv?
