If I could select "I know what I'm doing, ignore this warning" it'd at least be usable. As it is I turn on cookies, get past the warning, then turn them right off again - so far no issues (so long as the 2 domains above are in the allow list.) Haven't given it a lot of testing because of the irritation factor but it worked at a glance (and evidently people are using the modified extension without issue.)

Disconnect: Could you please explain a little more what you mean by that?

Update: we looked a little bit into this issue but have not been able to crack this nut yet. Sorry.

Hi Konrad: no news unfortunately, we have been overwhelmed since the beta release and have not had the bandwidth to dive into firefox and understand what would be the best work around. May be post beta2. I am very sorry of not being able to be more helpful! – Edwin Khodabakchian, on August 14, 2008 06:46

Hi Amy. Fred Wilson has a recent blogpost where he talks about Twitter using the services of a firm called ReturnPath to improve their email deliverability.

Apparently as recently as three months ago, a lot of the emails sent out by Twitter were getting caught by spam filters. This might explain why you're now getting follower request emails...?

Amy Muller replied on July 31, 2008 00:01 to the question "Email Notifications for New Followers & DMs not being Sent." in Twitter:

I haven't received Friend Request email notifications in MONTHS. (DM emails have been spotty but mostly reliable). I just figured I had inadvertently turned off the notification setting for friend requests and I hadn't bothered to look into it because frankly, I don't really care that much. However, just this week I started receiving them again so perhaps it is fixed now?

i've been trying to raise this same issue with a site called "soundcloud". side issue, but the idea i had for that was that perhaps users could be voted down to a point that triggers a vote to ban them for abusing the system.

another idea would be to have no notification to the user who has been followed, thereby dropping the incentive for the spammer to randomly add people.

Oh, we're calling them Spitters. I like it. I was calling them barnacles. I can call them spitters, though. either way :-)

Now it appears the New Follower notifications for spammers are coming through again. So does this mean that the experiment of suppressing these emails from known spammers is over?

David replied on July 11, 2008 19:44 to the problem "Not getting email when someone follows me" in Twitter:

Looks like notices are coming more frequently. I've gotten a few notices of new followers recently, all spammers. They always come right after I post an update. At least I can then block them.

Interestingly, Twitter is still doing nothing to block obvious abuse. The last follower I got was on someone who first posted less than an hour ago and was already following 4,111 people!

Just did a hack to kill off the cookie check. Note, this isn't supported by me and likely not by Feedly. Make sure you add in the sites mentioned here into your whitelist before using this.

I really look forward to trying feedly, but I won't until the requirement to accept third party cookies is gone. Tapping excited fingers here... – Michael, on June 29, 2008 18:23

Great idea! I also like mdoeff's idea too. Twitter should so get that in their system. – Chris Thomson, on June 26, 2008 18:03
