OAuthException (#368) The action attempted has been deemed abusive or is otherwise disallowed

I'm trying to post a feed on my wall or on the wall on some of my friends using Graph API. I gave all permissions that this application needs, allow them when i make the request from my page, I'm having a valid access token but even though this exception occurs and no feed is posted. My post request looks pretty good, the permissions are given. What do I need to do to show on facebook app that I'm not an abusive person. The last think I did was to dig in my application Auth Dialog to set all permission I need there, and to write why do I need these permissions. I would be very grateful if you tell me what is going on and point me into the right direction of what do I need to do to fix this problem.

Had the same problem. I figured out that Facebook was refusing my shortlinks, which makes me a bit mad...but I get the point because its possible that shortlinks can be used to promote malicious content...so if you have shortlinks as part of your test, replace them w the full url...
