Post to multiple friends walls with one action

I have seen an app where I can post to multiple friends' walls in one action. Basically the user will check a box for each friend and then hit a post button and each of the friends that were checked have a wall post now.

I thought this wasn't allowed. Did something change or is the app not in compliance with the Policies?

Can each post to friends' walls be delayed/scheduled using CRON so that there is a delay in each post. This way, I think, one can escape penalty from Facebook.

By gaining the publish_stream permission you can carry out this functionality.

From here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/permissions/

publish_stream

Enables your app to post content, comments, and likes to a user's stream and to the streams of the user's friends. With this permission, you can publish content to a user's feed at any time, without requiring offline_access. However, please note that Facebook recommends a user-initiated sharing model.

You can then utilise the Graph Api to perform these functions:

Hope this helps
