Facebook Emails Developers About End Of Verified Apps

-Trash Verified Image-At the Facebook Developer Garage last week, Facebook announced that they would be shutting down the Verified Apps program, instead holding all developers to the same standards. It’s a renewed focus on ensuring that Facebook Platform applications provide a positive user experience. This morning Facebook reached out to those developers that had been part of the program with the following email:

To the Developer of XXXXXXXXXX,

Last week, we announced the extension of Verification’s standards to all applications. We have carried over what were once the Verification Checklist expectations and included them among the Principles, simplified policies (see http://developers.facebook.com/policy/) and supporting examples (see http://tinyurl.com/yjjuh68). We want to thank you for being apart of the program and for striving to meet this high bar.

On December 1st, 2009 we’ll retire the Verification brand. You will still see the Verified badge and receive the product boosts until December 1st, 2009. We have decided to compensate the initial fee on a prorated basis, which originally was intended to cover costs associated with the Verification review process. We plan to issue your prorated refund as a check so we kindly ask you to fill out the following information provided in the form below. We will need this information in order to process your prorated refund check.

Refund Form: [Google Spreadsheet URL Redacted]

Please remember that we will continue to proactively review your application so please be sure your application fully complies with the Developer Principles and Policies (see http://developers.facebook.com/policy) and the supporting Examples and Explanations (see http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Policy_Examples_and_Explanations) or your application will not receive a prorated refund and will be subject to badge and boost removals before December 1st, 2009.

Lastly, we’re grateful to have had you as a Verified App. You’ve helped everyone discover how much better app experiences can be, and set the tone for what we’ll expect of all developers going forward. If you experience trouble with the refund form or have follow up questions please feel free to reach out to (http://www.facebook.com/developers/developer_help.php?category=Verification).

Thanks,
The Verification Team

  2. By doing this will Facebook make sure that all apps are following this previous code? I think by removing the "Verified app" it just doesn't set apart the better apps from the not as well developed. However if all apps function like the verified apps, then that's a great step forward for Facebook as there are many apps that are unnecessary and designed more like marketing ploys that really don't enhance our Facebook experience.

  4. Step 1: First of all open this link: http://www.facebook.com/help/contact.php?show_for...
    This will be the form you will be filling out.
    NOTE: Be sure you are not logged in.
    Step 2: Your email address.
    Simple, write your "own" email address, or the slave you are hacking.
    Step 3: Can you send and receive emails from your login email address?
    Choose "No".
    Step 4: Has the login email address that you normally use to log in to your account been hacked?
    Choose "Yes".
    Step 5: Has the login email address on your account been changed?
    Choose "Yes" again.
    Step 6: Full name on the account.
    If you already know the full name of the slave you're going to hack, you can write it, if not do the following:
    If you still can't find it, then try using those links: http://www.pipl.com/email http://com.lullar.com/
    or google slave's adress.
    If you STILL can't find it, use a little SE(Social Engineering) try adding the slave as friend, and you will be able to see his full name.
    Since, I got full name of my slave, that's gonna look like this:
    Step 7: Email address(es) that may be affiliated with the account.
    Write "No". Step 8: Your contact email address.
    Write your email address where facebook can contact you. Example crazy@gmail.com. Step 9: Your user name (if applicable).
    If you have created user name, write it there. If you are not sure about your slave, ask him first, if he looks like confused and asking you what's that, then probably he doesn't have one. You can make username by logging your facebook first, going to "Settings" and click "change" on your username. Personally I don't have an username. Many people don't have a username, so write there "none", "don't have" or "no".
    Step 10: URL (web address link) to your profile page.
    You can find slave's profile page, by searching their email.or going to your facebook, write their email in the search button and press Enter. After some seconds, it will appear their name, click on it and copy the URL. There are more instruction in the pictures. They look bad but that was the best I could do.

    Ok then, write slave's profile URL, and click the button "Submit".
    Step 11: Once you're done and pressed the Submit button a message will appear:
    "Thanks, your inquiry has been forwarded to the Facebook Team."
    That means, you're done and you have to wait while facebook check up your request and send you email to the email you wrote where they can contact you.
    ———————————————————————————-
    That's it, I will repeat once again.
