There is no evidence that Facebook actually would force him out, just that some lawyer decided to include some text in a nastygram. That was the point, as I understood it.
Why do you believe that Facebook is willing to sick their lawyers on him, but unwilling to shut down his Facebook pages?
It's not that I believe them to be unwilling, not any more than I believe they would be unwilling to delete your account. I just am not convinced that they want to delete his account any more than they want to delete yours. All I know they want is for him to stop sending his robot.
Apparently, FGS was banned because one lone game developer made it a point to complain. This particular browser extension was both the least intrusive, and smoothest working, of its' kind. The developer also worked WITH the game developers. so that this extension worked in a way that the game developers agreed to.
The myriad explanations as to "why" this happened can be found in these two articles, at the least, and in the comments to them.
For those who seem to believe that this was anything other than an UNREASONABLE action on the part of Facebook, I suggest that the only way to make REASONABLE would be to enjoin other, BIGGER programs that do what this one did and more. Programs that allow you to do things that one CANNOT do in-game, which is not something this browser extension did.
Why was he banned? I can't seem to find the reason on the reddit page or the developers blog post.
I've never heard of the plugin before, but it looks like it did some of the tedium of clicking on the game status updates for you. (If someone can give a good description, I would love to see it). My guess is that FB doesn't like the software doing this because it means the users aren't doing it themselves, and thus aren't able to see the ads they would have otherwise, cutting down on revenue. The only other reason I…

hi, I'm new in here and made an account just because I saw you talking about Arkadiusz Flies and his FGS. FGS is not a bot as others, as I am just a simple user of the computer, I'm not able to explain you what it is, but before judge Flies, please inform yourself, and after, when you'll understand that he is completely innocent, you'll give me and 30.000 others some help. FGS is the best ever, is completely different of other bonus collectors, has his own browser which has nothing to do with cheating and collecting unpaid stuff. Wwe can collect with one click hundreds of bonuses from our friends walls, nothing stgealing...just the stuff we loose because we have to go to work sometimes :) We've started to believe that facebook want to legally steal the program from Flies... Please help...this kind of bullshit can happen to anyone if we don't stand up. Facebook is taking advantage because Flies is a student, he can't pay for a legally action against this Facebook. Yes, we thought about Google +, but I don't know if Google is a good platform for FGS and...what's the sense to go in Google, when our games 20-30 there are not yet on Google... If Google will accept all these games, millions of people will leave for good this shit Facebook. We're waiting just a little sign from Google, in the meantime we made all accounts and took Flies in our circle. Till then, we need all the help we can find.
Is not cheating definitively, this program is doing nothing else that collect from our walls, the items from the walls is free, so we don't have the possibility to collect stuff for which we suppose to pay... just collect the postings, if nobody took it before you...and with FGS, in 2 clicks you can collect hundreds...that's why all the ill people on Facebook was so in need of this program. For the people like me it was good, because when I come home after a whole day of work, I can collect item posted 12 hours before. And another wonderful thing which this FGS is doing, is that is receiving and sending back hundreds of gifts with 1 click. Having this wonderful FGS, we start to play 6-7 games, now without it, many of us are forced to quit playing and because many are on Facebook just for play, we'll close the Facebook accounts also. :(
