7 Steps To Follow If Your Twitter Account is Suspended

January 29, 2010 by Aaron 461 Comments

You got your twitter account suspended? Don’t worry, I got mine suspended a few weeks back as well. Rather than going crazy there are a few things you can do in the meantime. You can read more about it in my blog post: Inside of a Banned Twitter Account

Twitter is getting really serious lately suspending accounts without any notices (No they don’t give notices). If this happens to you, then here are 7 steps that you should follow besides going crazy.

1. Stay Cool and Calm

Don’t go crazy that your account got suspended. It is actually normal for that to happen because you might not know all the twitter rules. Yes twitter have their set of rules too.

2. Submit a ticket

Submit a ticket to twitter. Just follow the link from your suspended account. If you can’t find it you can submit a ticket here

Here is a bit.ly link that you can use if any of your friends need to submit a ticket to twitter.

When you follow the link, this is what you will see.

suspended twitter account

Click ‘account restoration‘ (click this if you can’t find it)

restore suspended twitter account

 

 

Click “my account has been suspended’

When you do, fill this up.

twitter suspended

Make sure you be nice!

DON’T: Write to twitter in an angry manner. That is why you need to practice step 1. Don’t send them a ticket saying ” WTF, why the *#&& did you suspend my account”

DO: Dear twitter, I noticed my account @username got suspended…. etc.. ”

3. Create another account if needed

You can tweet your followers that you are close with. Tell them that your account got suspended and ask them for help IF NEEDED

4. Wait for 24 hours.

Be patient, twitter will reply within 24 hours or more.

5. Reply to twitters email

If you received the email. Reply to it. It will help if you respond to their email.

IF STILL SUSPENDED

Make sure you have filed a ticket to twitter before tweeting them.

6. Tweet @Ginger

Use your other account created earlier to tweet her. Ask her if you had a TOS problem or not.

If no replies

7. Tweet @Delbius

After a couple of days, if @Ginger didn’t reply then tweet @Delbius.

    My account was suspended 2 days ago too. I’m waiting for a response back from Twitter. It gets pretty frustrating especially knowing that all your followers can no longer get the helpful information you were sending out. Thanks for this post. At least now I know how to escalate the issue if need be.

    If you have a business dont rely on Twitter.

    I was suckered in by a pack of Trolls into repsonding. In my defence against trolls Twitter banned me. I was even defending attacks on media presenters.

    I was prior generating genuine content that people found interesting (no it wasnt porn etc)

    Because my interest was primarily politics I did follow hastag streams for obvious reasons. I wasnt a business and always had pure intent.

    If you are running a business set up a few accounts, one for followers.

    One for promotional info but dont send out a gazillion tweets as people wont read it.

    One disposable account for abusing trolls attacking you.

    Always lead any potential customer away from Twitter over to your website and other media because Twitter dont respect any contribution you may make.

    You can lose all your work in a second defending yourself against trolls.

    When the trolls come switch to another account and let them have it as Twitter just delete ther own content drivers listening to trolls because they are too dumb to work out they are cannabilising their best & brightest users

    You have a right to be angry if you havent been warned but Twiiter will treat you like a child and punish you for your rightful frustration.

    Myspace is expected to make a comeback as Justin Timberlake along with others chucks a bucket of money into Myspace for a complete rebuild coming soon.

    Have an exit strategy.

    Hey, I’m Jessica. I’ve got problem my twitter has been suspended twice. At the first, I could get my account back quickly, just accepted some conditions from twitter and promised to not tweeting something harsh to anyone again (I was) and now i don’t know why my account has been suspended again after 4 days that my account has been unsuspended. I’ve receive many links in tweet from random people, that’s very weird and some tweets that saying “WANTS MORE FOLLOWERS, MY BEST FRIENDS???? #link” and then I just ignoring it with tweeting them “no thank you” . Is it wrong? I’m just tired of that dam thing ruined my life. I don’t need many followers with that apps I just want my truly pure nice account back. Just sharing my problem here. Maybe you guys can help. I’m so tired with all of this. Thank you before.
