You're allowed to post anything that can be seen in a PG13 movie. Nude pictures, and extremely violent content is not in PG13 movies.

Additional rules:

-Don't be a dick to other people. Swearing is completely fine, but if you're cussing out other people and trying to be offensive, then you're stupid and you're not cool. You will be asked to stop and if you continue, you will be banned.

-Do not ask others for nude pictures or sexually harass people. That means no "Nice tits" or "I want to fuck you" etc.

-Remember, private messages can indeed be seen by tapulous employees. Do not think that we can't because we will investigate you if someone complains.

Banning:

-The report user button works where if a user gets 5? reports in 10 minutes, they will be banned for 24 hours.

-Any Twinkle moderator can ban you whenever they want. The ban will last 24 hours.

-The only way you can be permanently banned is if a Tapulous employee does it. Your device will most likely be blocked from all Tapulous applications if you are permanently banned from an application of ours.

No, the rules aren't clear, but the fact is we do not feel that we should police a huge group of people in an iPod application. We only really deal with stuff if a person comes forward and complains. We leave moderators to deal with stuff they see that they deem inappropriate. We are, afterall, a very small company and we deal with a huge amount of people. The Tapulous employees, and other people, have much better things to do than to just go around and punish people who say fuck you to other people and go off about how you’re ugly and stuff.

Hope this helps, and let me know if you have more questions.

Also, I'm assuming you were banned for a good reason. Justifying your name is "Marco_Porno"

THANK YOU ED. THAT WAS ALL WE AS A COMMUNITY WANTED.

ALL we were asking for was acknowledgement that the app is late and that the dev team behind it is still working on it. We DO realize that it's a huge burden and we DO appreciate folks like Ed who make the effort to keep us informed. The fact that ED HIMSELF is kept in the dark means that communication failure has become a companywide problem. The people dealing with the customers should be armed with all the information they need so that the ones in the background can work with interruption from the public.

krohn, Emeraldcollector, and DX-Chain. Perhaps its something to do with thinking logically, but if you are getting "ANOTHER COMPLAINT THREAD" and it's been the 800th, MAYBE it would be a good time to step back and check whether the complaints carry any weight to them.

krohn, i'm sure that can be argued on the second point and I realize that, but I'm under the impression that, considering that you guys have a blog, it PROBABLY would not be far too much of a hassle if you posted a short update, right? Or maybe you have an elaborate blogging system that demands 8 hours of coding work to update.
If people are whining because they want to purchase a PAID app from YOUR company, it would probably be a good idea invests just a tad more time into them. We are not complaining that the lite version of an app doesn't have the features as the paid one, ok? We are complaining that we can't BUY YOUR APP.
Customer should always comes first, regardless of industry.

danielth, you'll see that I've already addressed your reply in my first point. and riddim ribbon was not my only concern on this.

Emeraldcollector and DX-Chain. Thank you for posting comments with zero relevance to the topic at hand.

I tried to be completely coherent in this because I too get annoyed by the people who whine on and on when they don't get their way. Apparently some people in this community simply can't tell the difference. Did any of you actually bother to read past the first sentence before jumping in guns ablazing? – PureEminences, on November 04, 2009 02:20

So Ed has been unhelpful (no offense, Ed). Ed is clearly the only employee at Tapulous (and in extension, GS) and if he doesn't know, then no other employee in the company will know.

I'm sorry if I'm picky, but "I don't know" is simply not a good answer from the company developing the application. If this was being outsourced to another iPhone app developer, then I could understand. But Tapulous develops their own apps, so they don't really have an excuse for not being in their own loop.

The majority of the medium sized app developers have a blog to let their users know when an application goes into approval to lift any blames of delay away from them an onto Apple. IF, as you say, it is in review, then I'm surprised Tapulous hasnt announced it, especially since it's the fastest way to build hype on every blog and social network.

And blame Apple for not hiring more people. There are 40 people at Apple responsible for approving apps and their updates and each app needs two thumbs up before being released.

(By the way, if you could slow down and check your typing, much appreciated) – PureEminences, on November 03, 2009 09:56

I'm actually surprised the chatrooms don't filter the "cute ways" automatically. I guess it can only get better from here.

and common sense and being smart are prevalent in young children. and they play tap tap just like the rest of us. Unless you'd like to start an age and intelligence verification system, a list of basic rules that users must agree to prior to using chat would be much more beneficial – PureEminences, on November 03, 2009 07:27

I completely agree that Online Play shouldn't require shakes, but damn. You'd have to shake PRETTY hard to fling and crack the glass.

Robert, I understand where you're coming from. But your initial complaint completely paints you as a 12 year old halo playing high pitched ignorant troll

Well, considering their loyal following of iPhone users, we kinda just expect a short update at the very least on how its coming along. And as Rogers in Canada has no doubt discovered, leaving Apple users in the dark is certainly not the best policy.

At the very least publicly acknowledge that it's late. it'll at least douse the fire temporarily – PureEminences, on November 01, 2009 06:52

I have to concentrate on the lag, so my finger is covering the ring most of the time :\ – PureEminences, on October 27, 2009 01:05

I actually would prefer the rings from TTR 2. They were easy to spot and your finger never covered the whole thing while tapping. I've just begun to completely phase out the accuracy rings on TTR 3 because I cant see them at all while playing on the harder levels.

EPIC! – PureEminences, on October 27, 2009 00:14

Will it show up on our news feed or will it just magically appear when we visit the tap tracks store? I'm confused :\

I've completely given up on TTR3 online until an update is released. the online lag is even worse than TTR2. If my score is being dragged down because I have to compensate, I'm not going to bother.

I've found the answer. Twitterfon for the iPhone supports A-GPS coordinate updating. Just press the Locate button when you are typing a tweet.

@Ben @Niklas - The reason I want the coordinates is that it is very useful during large events. The ability to post my coordinates is WAY better than telling someone that I'm by the sno-cone truck. Generally, I stick with Twitteriffic's built in city-wide location updates
