Just follow these simple rules to avoid suspension: http://tweettwain.com/component/content/article/1-...

Why don't you contact customer support to get it sorted out and have them review your account if it was really worth being banned. At least you'll find out what the problem was.

This happened to the corporate account I created - months and months later admitted they did in error!!!

Front-row sits, huh?

this is really scary... i just hope that twitter would be able to improve their site without banning anyone, who didn't try to spread spam

Huh - I know it's tough for them.. Trying to play catch up with spamming and what not, I bet it's major headache!

Just had my account banned. Flipping hate twitter

Why would twitter ban an account?

Oh Man... When did this happened and why? Crazy folks at Twitter.

I had a similar painful experience and unfortunately, Twitter's support model isn't quick to respond or get things back up and running. Maybe my experiences documented in my blog post below might be of assistance to someone in the same spot:

Thanks Aaron for sharing. This will be a great help if ever that happens or to someone I know.

My guess is looking at the way you mass follow/unfollow people is that you were suspended due to not following the "Rules and Best Practices" http://help.twitter.com/forums/10711/entries/68916.

What are the limits?

We don’t limit the number of followers you can have. However, we do monitor how aggressively users follow other users. We try to make sure that none of our limits restrain reasonable usage, and will not affect most Twitter users.

We monitor all accounts for aggressive following and follow churn (repeatedly following and un-following large numbers of other users.

Hope this helps you Aaron

From EdwardPMAC these great words from Abraham Hicks....The amount of time it takes you to get from where you are to where you want to be, is only the amount of time it takes you to change the vibration within you. Instant manifestation could be yours if you could instantly change the vibration.

I wrote bout it my post 7 steps to follow if your twitter account is suspended. Worked out well =)

Phil, you can try following my post http://askaaronlee.com/7-steps-to-follow-if-your-t... I wrote that to show what I have done and how it can help you =)

Aaron,...this has happended to a couple of my Twitter pages too. I tried to research this through Twitter and apparently they do not allow "overlapping" websites, even though this happens all over Twitter. I get spammed to death. Anyway, I'm glad you're back live. How did you accomplish this?

They also warned that I should be wary of utilization of Twitter auto follow softwares. I use Hummingbird and AutoFollowScript. Both are excellent products, but maybe this flagged Twitter somehow. Also I am a huge gan of Hootsuite because it allows me the ability to update all of the acocunts which could've also flagged Twitter as a violation.
Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks brother.

maybe just using twitter is strange acivity

yeah.. yu ll

Very interesting. memang front row wor..so did u manage to get it resolved eventually?

Yet to make my acc.. hope they dont ban for no reason lol

Mine was suspended too, soon after i first joined up. I went round and round, the same paths, I think, as you. I never did find out WHY it was suspended besides the "suspicious activity" stuff, and I just gave up and opend up a new account, losing whatever info I had, including friends, DMS, everything. Now, I have the strange experience of Twitter telling me I can only follow a certain amount of ppl. So ppl follow me, and I might want to follow them, but I can't. Twitter says I can come back every 24 hours and follow one more person. So I got rid of lots of ppl, unfortunately, to be able to follow ppl that I presently want to follow. It really sucks and Twitter has no page explaining this crazy stuff that they do to you except for their childish list of Q and As as you posted above. It's nonsense!

Hi Aaron! So glad to see your account back on Twitter =) Mine was accidentally suspended, too, along with over 100,000 others on July 5th, 2009. I blogged about it, too. Link iswebsite, here. You were very calm compared to me! LOL Bravo!@ModelSupplies

Hey Andrew,
I don't auto tweet if you notice in my timeline =)

Aaron, stop auto tweeting then you wont have to worry about your twitter account getting suspended.

Tools that automatically mass follow and unfollow people, like Tweet Adder or various websites that do the same, are banned by Twitter - were you using any of those?

I've been following you almost since I started my twitter account. I should say second twitter account. The same happened to me last summer. I had my first account for about a month when it was suspended. I don't remember ever getting an answer back from them. At the time, there were less than 50 tweets to the account! I also made the mistake of setting up my mobile so I could tweet on the road. Anyway, I started my @lilbytes account and never looked back on the old one. But when wanted to set my mobile for tweets with @lilbytes, I found that it was still associated with the old account and was told to turn it off from the old account. Of course I couldn't do that since I couldn't get into the old account because it had been suspended. What a mess. The old account was finally reactivated and I was able to delete it, but now I still can't tweet from my mobile.

I just wanted to say I'm sorry you had to go through all of this...and due to 'human error'?! Well, I'm just happy to see you around again. I've missed ya. :)

Great to see you back buddy.

I was wondering why you were blipping. Meanwhile you were taking tourist shots of Suspensionland for us. Great stuff!! and very informative. Thank you!

It happened to me when I first started out and fortunately I had some good friends that helped me also.

Awesome to have you back and tweet up to stay up!

Tweet soon brother.

I had an old account banned too (gotta admit, "too automated")... You just MIGHT get your old account back *crossing fingers*;)

My account isn't banned, but it is restricted- my tweets don't show up in search & that means I can't join in on hashtag discussions or chats :(

I've sent them an email but they haven't responded as yet, maybe I ought to send another one.

Best of luck with getting your account reinstated!

Claire

I hope you get our account back. I would totally follow you!

Now @HawaiiRealty and @Charlesyeo are gone too. I don't believe Kelly nor Charles would delete their accounts. Anyway, I so glad that you're back Aaron. --Nong

Hey Aaron

I have a post up about how to unban your twitter account

Just in case Twitter don't unblock it for you, sometimes they can be a bit Facebooky and refuse to explain or unblock accounts.

My twitter acc being suspended few months ago. I get shocked too when i log into my twitter. Because all my effort for twitter was jz gone like tat. Then i figured why n i found this.

Twitter suspends 1,000's of accounts, finally admits cause: "Human error." Pls share this out! http://ow.ly/gyKv
Twitter accidentally suspended my acc! Why? Bcoz im tweetlater.com user?
After few hours, my acc was resume automatically.
But the bad things is tweeple cannot search ur profile directly from the twitter find people search. it will shown >>We couldn't find anyone named askaaronlee.

So Aaron i know wat is ur feeling since i had faced the same issue. Hopefully after this v will more appreciate to tweet. i proud of since ur #1 twitter in malaysia. i learn from u n respect all ur effort n contribution for twitter.

Twitter sucks sometimes. Come back to us, Aaron! We miss you already! Twitter glitches left and right.

Send your ticket # to @Ginger and ask if she can tell you if you had a TOS problem or not. Use another account as needed. They won't be specific, but will typically at least tell you if it was a TOS issue (when it is). If no reply from @Ginger, ask @Delbius--but give her a couple days to respond first.

I AM VERY SAD ?I WAS SEARCHING YOU EVERY WHERE ?I THOUGHT BY MISTAKE I UN FOLLOWED YOU ?BUT I PUT YOUR NAME IN THE SEARCH I WAS CHOCKED WHEN I READ THAT YOU ARE BANNED ?I REALLY DONT KNOW THE ROUES IN TWITTER BUT IF IT IS A MISS TAKE FOR SURE IT WILL BE SOLVED ANY WAY I WILL FOLLOW YO U IN FACE BOOK (:~> (be optimist brother ,ok?)

Thanks for the comment mate =)
We all have out opinions.

Yeah man, I was looking through my favs and you were gone. I was like what?

You'll get it back, they'll just take their time doing it. I had some friends get theirs suspended for having the same name as someone else, just spelled differently.

Hey,bro..shocked to find this..in fact i decided to write something on this too ! Hoping to see you tweets
soon !
http://www.andrinemendez.com/blog/archives/452

Sorry to hear this has happened. Hopefully it will be back live soon. Damned inconvenient for you.
Me too, as I have just finished the blog post - "What makes a REAL PERSON on twitter" that we were discussing yesterday. Anyway you can read it here
http://simplybusiness.posterous.com/what-makes-a-r... and let me know what you think.
Catch you, a REAL PERSON on twitter real soon
Maralyn

Twitter need to get their act together!

Sorry to hear this has happened, Aaron. This also happened to @marie_ang and she was hopping mad. It turned out that someone tried to hack into her account and input the password too many times hence she was locked out of her own account.

Hopefully this issue will be resolved soon as we do miss your presence online, my friend : )

Keep in touch through FB

Good Luck to u soon.

Maybe you know twitter too well, and give us advice which controls it too well for their liking? Just a thought, sad to see you're not part of my home page now.

Hopefully i get back my twitter account too =)

Its a blessing in disguised for me though =)
Thank you so much helping me to spread the news earlier.

~hugssss

Oh well =) Guess i tweet too much :P

Awww I did?
