  1. ============================================
  2. FACT, FABLES AND TIPS ON TWITTER SUSPENSIONS
  3. ============================================
  4.  
  5. I noticed a lot of irregular, almost random, suspensions of twitter accounts.
  6. Aldo some are suspended for obvious reasons, other suspensions look like a randomizer act.
  7.  
  8.  
  9. After my account was suspended a couple of weeks ago, I started to investigate this issue.
  10. I noticed my account was suspended and received an email from Twitter stating:
  11. "Your account was suspended because it was found to be violating the Twitter Rules
  12. (https://twitter.com/rules), specifically our rule against posting violent threats."
  13.  
  14. So, it seemed like I was 'Posting violent threats' (yeah, right).
  15.  
  16.  
  17. Okay, back to the subject..
  18.  
  19.  
  20. ---------------------------------------------
  21. REASONS WHY TWITTER WILL SUSPEND YOUR ACCOUNT
  22. ---------------------------------------------
  23.  
  24. - Massive Follows and Unfollows in short period of time
  25. - Spamming Users (@mention those that did not @mention you)
  26. - Use of automated (follow back) services
  27. - Tweeting links to malware, phishing or other harmful websites
  28. - Misusing trends and popular hashtags (Hijack-tweeting)
  29. - Twitter thinks your account has been hacked or compromised
  30.  
  31. These are the commonest reasons why accounts tend to get suspended.
  32. There are, of course, other more uncommon and vaguer reasons why an account may get suspended.
  33.  
  34. One of the most irritating ones is being reported by a number of users.
  35. Yes, if a group of people reports you (even falsely), you can be suspended.
  36. BUT, lots of people reporting you for spam where there is NO communication between you and them,
  37. will NOT get your account suspended in the absence of other factors, particularly if your account
  38. is well-established and hasn’t been suspended before.
  39.  
  40.  
  41. ------------------------------------------
  42. WHAT TO DO WHEN YOUR ACCOUNT IS SUSPENDED?
  43. ------------------------------------------
  44.  
  45. - Stay Cool and Calm (Let's forget about this, okay?) :P
  46. - Submit a ticket (https://support.twitter.com/forms/restore)
  47. - Create another account if needed (Or use the backup one you already created) :)
  48. - Wait for 24 hours (Replies can take up to 24 hour)
  49. - Reply to twitters email (Your response will help, somehow)
  50. - Tweet @Ginger (Ask her if you violated the TOS)
  51. - After a couple of days, if @Ginger didn’t reply then tweet @Delbius
  52.  
  53.  
  54. -----------
  55. BUT, BEWARE
  56. -----------
  57. Twitter has one of the worst forms of customer service I have ever witnessed from an online service.
  58. You will NOT receive an explanation, a screenshot, a piece of evidence whatsoever.
  59.  
  60. I have witnessed cases were users replied to THREE re-tweets in one hour and got suspended for
  61. "multiple unsolicited @replies or mentions."
  62.  
  63.  
  64. I sincerely hope this will help someone, even do it stays a bizarre situation..
  65.
