While the site itself is interesting, I don't like that it posted a message to my Facebook wall without asking or telling me. (I know I gave it permission to but still, I'd like to be notified before that occurs)

This is against the API rules of Facebook, remove it asap.
What part of the Tos? The app is explicitly asking you for permission to post things to your wall.
I agree we should remove that feature at some point. Let me ask you how is different from how farmville build up traffic.
"Farmville does it" isn't a valid excuse. Be kind to users. Don't sink to the lowest common denominator.
