Developers building on the Facebook Platform are well aware of Facebook’s increasing efforts to enforce its platform policies and reward applications acting in accordance with the platform ideals with benefits.

Today, the MySpace Developer Platform team clarified its process for developers who violate the the MDP Terms or Guidelines.

Specifically,

On first violation:

• In most instances,the application developer will receive a notice giving them 48 hours to fix the issue. If the problem is not fixed within that period of time, the application will be muted (muted applications may not send communication) for 48 hrs. If the application is still not fixed after 48 hours, it will be suspended. Should one company have an application in violation of policy once, and then do something with another application, that will be considered a second violation.

On second violation:

• The application will be muted immediately, then suspended after 48 hours.
  

On third violation:

• The application will be suspended immediately.

If a company continues to repeatedly violate our TOU/Guidelines, action may be taken against the company and/or all of their applications, which could include banning them from the platform.

Of course, MySpace said it reserves the right to skip steps for “major” violations. For more info, check out the policy section on the MySpace Developer Platform forums.
