Hi sb. In general, you should be notified before your application is removed from the directory. In your case, I believe your app was removed mistakenly, which explains why you weren't emailed prior to its removal. If the developer is contacted and resolves their issues quickly, we shouldn't need to take it down unless there is a particularly egregious error (e.g. the developer intentionally adds malware, etc.).
If we do take your application down, it will be subject to the rules in the orkut developer guidelines: http://code.google.com/apis/orkut/docs/orkutdevguidelines.html#violations - Jason On Jun 29, 6:05 am, sb <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Jason and open social apps team > > You have been doing a great job in encouraging and providing enough > details for the developers.
