They closed the ticket: http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/detail?id=430 I commented to try and get it re-opened. Perhaps a new ticket needs to be opened. If this bug doesn't get fixed, I think what I'll try doing is use javascript to intercept all user requests to vist Twitter.com. I'll check just the webpage's head and look for a 404. If it's a 404 I'll send a message back to my server and verify it's a suspended account via a user show API call, then mark it in my DB. The user will see the error page once, but not a 2nd time. Pain! And even this method has no way of finding suspended accounts that have since been un-suspended. The only way I can think of dealing with that is to constantly check currently suspended accounts to see if they've been reactivated. Maybe we should just refer our complaining users to the ticket issue so they can comment and star it. ;) On Nov 11, 12:14 am, Tim Haines <tmhai...@gmail.com> wrote:Hey Dusty,It's currently assigned to @al3x, I'm sure he'll get to it some day. ;-)I have a list of about 28k suspended ids or deleted accounts, out of around 8m I have on file. I'm pretty sure there's maybe 5% or so false positives in there, as accounts become unsuspended but I don't have an automatic process in place checking for that. The 5% guess is based on a manual checkabout a month ago.I'd be happy to share this list with you if Twitter's not going to providesomething themselves. Perhaps we could swap ids..

I try to identify and mark these users in my owndatabase so I don't display them to my end user, however this is a difficult and resource intensive task. One in which I have to worry about false positives.Does anyone know of a service that is simply a reliable ever updating giant list of suspended accounts that I can rub against my database toclean it?Alternatively, if the API would stop returning suspended accounts inthe follow data, I could skip this data cleanup step. ;) This has beenan issue for at least a year and a half now.http://bit.ly/agSBZ7--Twitter developer documentation and resources:http:// dev.twitter.com/docAPI updates via Twitter:http://twitter.com/twitterapi Issues/Enhancements Tracker: http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/list Change your membership to this group: http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk-- Twitter developer documentation and resources: http://dev.twitter.com/doc API updates via Twitter: http://twitter.com/twitterapi Issues/Enhancements Tracker: http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/list Change your membership to this group: http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk
