Regarding not wanting to turn off the DM permission in order to avoid a disruption to 7000 users, as the DM permission is a disquieting thing that will prompt complaints as this gains popularity and 7000 isn't that high a number, you might want to just rip the band aid off and get it over with now..

Founder of RiteTag here, and always available @osakasaul in Twitter (Saul Fleischman). FWIW, in regards to 7K users not being a high number, it took us 25 months to get to 7K users. Many signed up well over a year ago. Asking them all to remove permission in Twitter settings and then auth in again, we'd lose so many people who are not used to going into Twitter settings, and would simply go away. But thank you very much for the feedback - and also, a worthwhile opinion on the problem with Twitter permissions.
