Suspended! Now What?
What I'm going to give say here is my opinion only!
I hope this is not in conflict with any of Twitters rules as that is not my intention ever to promote other
than cooperating and adherence with Twitters rules.
I highly recommend you spend some time studying, not just briefly reading
over, Twitter's rules:
http://support.twitter.com/entries/18311
First, I'll give you my theory of why most good people get suspended:
1. You were ignorant and actually broke a rule! You failed to STUDY!
My first suspension was exactly that. I thought I was following the rules but I wasn't. Hence Twitter
suspended my forty accounts. What I was doing was posting the same tweets on multiple accounts
though not at the same time. It was a violation of the rules.
I used a lot of communication and Twitter agreed to give me back an account. So @Poet_Carl_Watts is
still here. I was lucky!
2. In your enthusiasm, your actions triggered Twitters anti-spammers software or some other
rule violation software.
In either case, I recommend very quick action on your part.
The moment you're suspended, file a ticket.
Ask them what did you do that was wrong so you can correct your ways. Promise that you will not repeat
the offensive conduct.
You will usually get an email.
Do not ignore it even though you just filed a ticket shortly before.
Again repeat “Ask them what did you do that was wrong so you can correct your ways. Promise that you
will not repeat the offensive conduct” or similar wording.
You will usually get another email. Do not ignore it. Do the same thing again! Always ask for specific
errors on your part.
I would also suggest that you politely suggest that it would be nice if they would warn you before
suspending accounts!
Do not get angry.
Yes!!! I know it is a shock, frustrating, confusing, unfair...etc...that without warning you're suddenly were
cut off from your friends! It is a huge loss.
It you're a spammer, you probably don't care, you just open 3 or 4 new accounts and spam away!
Twitter's staff are good people, just like you and me!
Don't give up until they really turn them down. Even then, I would be inclined to ask exactly why if I didn't
fully understand and ask for another chance
which is a violation of the Twitter Rules. You can find the more information about Trending Topics here: http:
//support.twitter.com/articles/101125”
What I was doing was posting late nite jokes from Leno, Letterman etc. Of course these guys all talk
about the latest scandal or disaster: Obamacare, Biden, whatever else just happened etc.
I was certainly not trying to create a trend, change or abuse a trend, nor anything at all having to do with
trends. I was merely trying to entertain :-)
I was posting extremely rapidly. I've set things up so I can do that. Apparently that was enough: rapidly
posting trending subjects...suspended! My heart fell out on the floor!
I did the above and Twitter saw, understood and reinstated me very rapidly.
I asked if it was the late nite jokes specifically and they didn't reply. So I can only assume that was
correct as they didn't tell me otherwise. They busy!
Suspension Without Warning
My only additional comments are that it would be very nice, even polite and respectful if Twitter would
send a tweet or email or both as a warning with the specific rule violation and give us good folks to
correct ourselves!
And that should you ever get suspended, suggest to them it would be nice to be given advance warning!
RULES
The problem with rules and laws is they restrict unjustly the innocent, the honest and treat us all like
spammers and criminals. Unfortunately, the criminals/spammers ignore laws, continue, and create
problems for all!
We are not criminals or spammers. I seriously doubt a criminal or spammer would ever read this as
they have no desire to improve themselves!
I do! And I suspect you do too!
Again, let me stress this is only my OPINION and you need to always use Twitters rules, http:
//support.twitter.com/entries/18311, as your guideline to success!
