I do appreciate it. I went to the site before making my specific suggestions and saw that the posts were via a "tweet this" button. Like I said, I realize lot of people like these kinds of things. While I may be the first to complain about the messages though, I'm sure I won't be the last if the service/game continues to be popular. Supporting opt-out will send a powerful message that Tweefight is fighting the good fight (so to speak) - and will set a good tone for other such game apps that will surely follow.

You are the only person among 25.000 who used the service in the past 24 hours who complained about this and maybe I wouldn't have taken the suggestion if another user would have asked for it. Tweefight doesn't actually send any automated message, it's up to the person who fight against you: he can inform you that you won/lost, or just try another fight. We just "facilitate" this by pre-compiling a tweet for the user, if the user presses on "tweet this". Anyway, I can understand that if too many people fight against you and send you that tweet, it could become annoying. Opt-out will be ready in the next version, which should be available next week.
