Completely disable JFBConnect and disconnect JFBConnect from Facebook

Mark,
I have no idea why your app would be banned by Facebook. It's not something we've ever heard of happening with our users and I really don't know of any way that JFBConnect would be related. In general, JFBConnect doesn't 'reach out to Facebook' automatically in any way. Our Autotune tool is only run on-demand by you, so when the app was re-enabled, it's not like that part of our component did anything. The main other feature, authentication, is obviously an on-demand thing as well.

Of course I completely understand your hesitation and desire to eliminate JFBConnect from the mix. To do so, you really just need to disable the JFBCSystem plugin. That will break all functionality of JFBConnect so no social network integration will work. You should also disable the JFBConnect User, Content and Authentication plugins, but they essentially stop working once the system plugin is disabled anyways.

With those plugins disabled, the *only* function in JFBConnect that can reach out to Facebook is the Autotune tool, so if you don't run that, there's no communication there. If you want to go above and beyond, simply uninstall JFBConnect altogether. Your settings will be preserved for when you re-install again, but uninstalling will remove all code, so you're sure nothing is going on there.

That's the long of it, but I certainly hope it helps. Please let us know anything you find. We're as curious as you are as to what might be happening!

Thanks,
Alex

Mark,
I'm so confused as to what possibly could be happening. In my understanding, Facebook generally never actually deletes an application. They have ways to block it instead, so deleting it means they've lost some visibility into the app 'as it was', which is just strange.

In any case, there really shouldn't be *any* setting that makes Facebook want to block or delete your app. If there were, there's not really a point in that setting, if you think about it.

Again, I'm sorry to not give a good answer, but I really can't understand what's possibly happening with the information you've provided. If your app wasn't actually being used (or was only used 'lightly' on a website), there's no reason that even if you were doing something 'bad', that Facebook would even notice. The only things Facebook really frowns on are:
* Posting to user's account without their permission
* Tricking users to giving permissions to login
* Stealing user credentials
etc, etc

In general, none of that's allowed by JFBConnect and, more importantly, even if we did, Facebook wouldn't notice that on small sites. They work on algorithms that need a lot of data to understand when things are going bad and a lightly used site doesn't have that kinds of data associated with it.

Again, I hope that explains, but definitely keep us posted.

Thanks,
Alex
