Application posts to page feed returns invalid post_id

When an app (i.e., mine, FriendCaster, GraphAPI) posts to the feed for a page a user likes, the post_id is returned & I can always see the message show up on the page -- when viewed from the browser.

When I attempt to read the page feed from any apps however, those same posts don't all show up. Sometimes I'll see the first couple of posts from the app, then nothing after.

Furthermore, if I try to use Graph API Explorer to show the status with the post_id returned from the successful post, it either returns an empty object, or the generic "Unsupported get request.", code": 100.

I've tried all settings for the app default privacy, with no change.

I've also tried setting all permissions on the app, but no improvement.

Suggestions?

Opened a Facebook bug with this information & the cause appears to be the spam filter kicking in (albeit a bit clunkily)

This is by design. Posting too many times to a page repeatedly will be marked as spam.

Unfortunately, there isn't a way for a page to whitelist apps that it would allow frequent posts from.

As mentioned in my comments above, this raises a couple of other issues that I'll follow-up on at the FB site.
