[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve been a Twitter user for well over a decade. 4k followers. I do not post there often but started to use it more during the pandemic bc it seemed like the best way to get info about schools, local politics. Suddenly in 2022 my account was suspended. For “platform manipulation and spam”. I appealed multiple times. Seriously this must be a mistake. I’m a 40 yr old mom with absolutely zero bad behavior. I finally got a response to my appeal this week. “Your account was permanently suspended due to violations of our Terms of Service. After reviewing for reinstatement your account will not be restored.” What? Why? I just don’t get it.

I tell myself it’s not a huge deal to not have Twitter… but then I remind myself it kinda is… our school shares news on Twitter that I’m missing… I’m in the process of starting a business and social media is an important marketing tool.

There is no reason why I should be suspended. Esp permanently! I’ve never received even a warning. Then sudden permanent suspension?! What can I do? Anyone have advice? [/quote]

Were you using large number of hash tags?  I've see that cause problems particularly if they all appear to be not really related.  That will get you flagged for spam/platform manipulation.

I have around 1000 followers on a personal account and am one of two who have control of a parody account with 30k followers but only mainly tweet once a year for a special occasion - I have a particular hashtag that I follow that becomes very popular but only once a year, seasonally.  When that happens, and it begins to trend, the spammers and platform manipulators come out and start abusing it.  Then, what we the people who are following this hashtag and don't appreciate the spam, we conspire and gang-flag/report these hashtag abusers/spammers.  Many of them end up getting banned, at least temporary; some may get permanent bans.

If you want back on, as others have said, just get another email address and create a new account.  Otherwise, look at it as a sign and move on with your life - you're probably better off, to be honest.[/quote]
