We are posting this due to a bug we’ve found in the Twitter Application on the XboxPolis Community. The app lets a predetermined amount of tweets show up on your profile, along with the option to post updates from XboxPolis to your Twitter feed. But, recently, Twitter changed their authorization process, to where third-party applications (like our Twitter app) must use Twitter’s “OAuth”, which is basically an authorization process to make your account more secure.

The Twitter Application on the XboxPolis.com Community is a third-party application, in other words, developed by somebody else. We have no control over this, but we are looking into ways of fixing it, by ourselves, and by searching for alternatives.

For now, the Twitter app will likely not appear correct, so don’t start killing things. We’re working on it.


Pictured: The current way that Twitter uses connections through third-party organizations and developers. When we fix this problem, you will no longer have the feeling of that ‘we haz your password!1!!’.

We guarantee you we have no access to your password, and even if we do, we don’t know how to get there anyway. We’re not devs, we’re regular people. OAuth allows you to escape that feeling, anyway, to where you can stop using Twitter on XboxPolis by going into your ‘Settings’ page on Twitter, and ‘Revoke Access’ for XboxPolis to tweet your status, which can always be changed back.
