Question: why would I want a list of which tweets directed at me are spam? The problem I want solved is that I ever see them at all, I don't really care if Jimbo scored a 78%-probability-of-spam for linking DJ Kittens on youtube.


It was a spam filter for your follower list. Some people just don't like having 300 spammers show up when someone clicks "followers" on their profile. Regardless, I wrote this comment to make the point about Twitter already having some automated spam systems, not to entice you to sign up for anything.


Oh, gotcha. I never really understood why having bad followers matter, it's one of the things you truly cannot control.

Anyway, it sounds pretty shitty that not only did they (ironically) shut your service down, but wouldn't even explain why they did it. :/
