charlesarthur started following the problem "Why is Twitter suddenly truncating my posts when I am within 140 characters?" in Twitter.

A comment on the question "What is Twitter's stance toward abuse?" in Twitter:
"Twitter is not a judge for resolving disputes over most content issues—our focus is on service."
Then you need to rewrite your terms of service, which presently outlaw "abuse and harassment". – charlesarthur, on September 01, 2008 21:44 -
charlesarthur replied on September 01, 2008 21:36 to the question "Member Abuse on Twitter" in Twitter:
Twitter has a terms of service (http://twitter.com/tos). The TOS says "4. # You must not abuse, harass, threaten, impersonate or intimidate other Twitter users."
And then "Violation of any of these agreements will result in the termination of your Twitter.com account. "
That's unequivocal. It's not "may result in the termination". It's "will". Abuse is pretty easy to recognise. It doesn't matter how many followers you have. A TOS is a TOS; the language is clear. Dave's point is clear too, and this is not by any means the first time for amandachapel to indulge in abuse in this way.
I'm also feeling that getsatisfaction is being used here like the call centre for the company that's provided the gadget that doesn't quite work. Nobody one talks to seems to be able to *do* anything, but they're all being very empathic.
Uh-uh. This requires action. So, Twitter, act, or explain your lack of action. -
charlesarthur asked a question in Twitter on August 31, 2008 14:17:
Where to report Twitter TOS (abuse etc) violationIs there a specific email or page to report Twitter TOS violations, please? Twitter has a TOS but apparently nowhere to report abuse, harassment etc, though they're explicitly disallowed in the TOS. -
charlesarthur reported a problem in Dipity on June 05, 2008 15:58:
IE7 not respecting width set for embedded timeline: why?IE7 (IE 7, Internet Explorer 7 for the search engine) doesn't seem to respect Javascript settings.
At http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/technolog... the settings are for a width of 440px, but IE7 displays it with a spill into the RH margin. Other browsers (Camino, Safari: I'm on a Mac, the complaints from a Windows user) seem to respect it.
Is this a problem of (1) Movable Type for the blog not having good enough CSS (2) IE7 not having good enough CSS (3) Dipity's embed not having good enough CSS (4) something altogether else?
