A comment on the idea "Auto unfollow/block suspended users" in Twitter:
No, Twerpscan only identifies users based upon a specified number of followers and the follower to following ratio. There is no option to only look for suspended accounts (although this would be useful as well :). – shehaal, on December 08, 2008 07:18-

It would be great if you could specify contacts other than work ones (perhaps custom groups). For example, I use Highrise with dealing with my web host, but this isn't a work contact. -

Nice work!! All working fine now - thanks for getting this fixed. -

Hi Bart,
Thanks for the prompt reply, and thank you for checking into this regularly. It is certainly very odd, as there are obviously many people who don't have this issue!
No worries re the email and the double up that would make.
Is there any way you can activate some debug messages? Perhaps with that, we could see precisely where it is failing during the authentication process.
Thanks again for getting back to me.
Cheers,
Stuart. -
shehaal reported a problem in Soocial on December 05, 2008 07:05:
I need to jump through hoops to log in, then more hoops to get the issue resolvedI am unable to log in. When I originally signed up, I received the confirmation email, which I clicked the link within and from there was able to log in. However once I logged out, my password no longer worked. I tried resetting it using the forgotten password link, which enabled me to change my password to something else and get back into my account. The problem though is that whenever I log out, the same problem occurs - my password will NOT allow me to log back in. The only way is to go through the whole rigmarole of resetting my password - which quite frankly is becoming a complete pain in the a**.
I originally signed up with an email address that had a plus sign in it before the @ symbol. Thinking this might be the cause of the problem, I changed it to something more standardised - but I still cannot log in with that new email address and password. I also originally opted for a strong password (combination of upper and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols, 24 characters in length). After the first reset, I chose something much more simple - all lowercase letters, two numbers, less than ten characters in length. Nope - STILL unable to log in! When I do reset my password and get back in, then go to settings to change the password there - I am told that my current password is incorrect, even though I just reset it... I have the password securely stored somewhere, so I am fully confident that this isn't all just because of a typo error.
Something is obviously bloody wrong here, and I have tried everything I can to fix it on my end (including using a different browser, clear the cookies and cache, etc). This has been going on for three weeks, and I have been posting about it in other similar topics, but they don't seem to be going anywhere (here and here). In the first of those linked topics, Bart said he was looking deeper into the problem, but there has been zero communication in the ten days since then. I even sent an email the day I signed up when this first happened, for which I am still waiting on a response.
Soocial seems like it could be a great product, solving such an important problem that has plagued many people for a long time, but honestly, the support is seriously lacking at the moment. I should not have to continuously plead for three weeks with you just so I can log into my account normally. Please, fix this problem.
Thank you. -

You'd certainly hope it wasn't the capitals causing this..! – shehaal, on December 05, 2008 06:39 -
shehaal replied on December 03, 2008 12:47 to the idea "Auto unfollow/block suspended users" in Twitter:
Case in point: I just had to do this for about 20 followers, and each follower takes four clicks to check the profile and block it
- click on profile to view briefly
- discover it's suspended
- click back button
- click block link
- confirm block
Auto unfollow and block would be a much better way to do it. :D -

Auto unfollow/block suspended usersDear Twitter,
Please provide an option in the settings so that if someone who is following you has had their account suspended for "strange behaviour", that the follower is automatically:
a) unfollowed, if you follow them
b) blocked
So that my followers list is nicely and automatically truncated of what is most likely crap. :)
Thanks! -

I think localiSation would be a good idea. ;) -
shehaal marked one of Stefan Fountain's replies in Soocial as useful. Stefan Fountain replied to the idea "British spelling = bad". shehaal and 4 other people think it's one of the best replies.

shehaal replied on December 01, 2008 07:08 to the question "Lifehacker account deletion" in Gawker Media Tech:
Yes, but this doesn't actually change my profile URL. For example, if my display name was "abc" and I change it to "123", my profile URL remains as http://lifehacker.com/people/abc/ - even after logging out and back in again. So in effect, it is impossible to remove all known information from the system even after following your steps outlined above. -

shehaal replied on November 26, 2008 10:04 to the question "Lifehacker account deletion" in Gawker Media Tech:
I am not asking for my account to be deleted because of a commenting banning issue. After I created the account, I never contemplated responding to any articles; it was created on a whim only. I ask because I no longer wish for this organisation to store my personal data including personally identifiable username and email address. Since the account is no longer in use, this stands as a reasonable request. Furthermore, nowhere on the new user sign up page itself is there a direct link to those conditions mentioned in your response (such a discovery requires a further two clicks to find a link to the terms of use). -

shehaal replied on November 14, 2008 21:26 to the problem "Unable to log in, but am able to use the 'forget password' feature to log in once" in Soocial:
My email address is quite standard (somethingorother@company.com). My original password was 24 characters long, alphanumeric characters plus some symbols thrown in. After resetting it for the first time, I changed that to seven characters long, alphanumeric only - but still the same problem of either my email address or password (or both) not being recognised when I go to log back in.
I am also getting new user confirmation emails; these seem to come through when I reset my password (although I think on one occasion, such an email wasn't sent). Sometimes the confirmation link works, other times it says an error has occurred, probably due to the fact that I am already a confirmed user. The confirmation link changes from one new user confirmation email to the next.
