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.
Click ‘account restoration‘ (click this if you can’t find it)
Click “my account has been suspended’
When you do, fill this up.
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.
So frustrating. Suspended- again. I have no idea why. I don’t follow/unfollow, I’m not selling anything, etc. I do a ton of retweeting though, usually when I have to time to sit down for an hour or so it’s all retweets. Maybe they think I’m a bot? It seems every time I report someone for spamming I get suspended.
Are you able to gain your followers back if you get suspended?
That’s exactly what happened to me. I’m trying to find things out! 🙁
My account has been suspended for 1 month already. Even the new account I have created they suspended it. I didn’t even posted yet nor followed anyone. PLEASE HELP ME!
THIS WAS REALLY HELPFUL! They replied to me in 30 seconds! Thanks:)xx
Hey, my account was suspended. It has been almost 2weeks. I already sent the ticket and they reply but after I reply to their email, I don’t receive any email from twitter. How long should I wait until my account unsuspended?
thankyou for the help! hopefully it works xx
Twitter is a joke & they think they are God. I’ve been suspended 3 times for replying. If the person doesn’t like your opinion they report you & you are suspended. No warning no explanation. MySpace will return & I can stop sucking up to these losers.
i got suspended twice and was forced to create a new account instead. but I don’t want to do that all over again, but now it’s happened again and need help to get it back !!
my account is suspended. please help to be ulocked
im crying so hard ive had my account since forever and ive met so many amazing people will everything turn back to normal if i wait it just got suspended out of nowhere
my twitter account is suspended almost 5 days ..how to unsuspended ??
I got suspended and I was the one receiving abuse lol so do u only need to be reportedby one person to be suspended
Just got suspended. No reason nor explanation. No warning. Very poor customer service. I didn’t break any rules. I have appealed and don’t expect much. This will be good news to those Twitter bashers as it will make for alternatives.
my twitter account is suspended almost 5 days ..how to unsuspended ??
I once created another account while suspended and the discovered that was against the rules. They permanently disabled it and it took longer for my suspension to be lifted. Bad idea.
No. A pack of people no doubt reported you. Twitter just is not handling false reports too well and is wrongfully suspending folks. What a mess
I have never get an explanation when my account is suspended and always have to guess what triggered the suspension when writing to them after it has happened. They always immediately respond and then they stop responding after I reply back and take a while to unsuspend my account. I think they always think I did something wrong but that is probably because I am now dealing with my fourth suspension. I think political opponents got me this time.
Yes. They usually restore your info after they unsuspend you.
Yeah,you probably shouldn’t that. It is most likely getting you falsely reported by a lot of bad guys. They are computer savvy and probably know who reports them or something. Blocking is safe to do though.
The bot probably attacked your account and made you look like a spammer or something. I block people but I never hit that spam button. It seems dangerous to do so.
I hope MySpace does come back because the trolls,bots,and false reporters are making a mess of Twitter.
Wow. That is crazy. Sounds like the trolls or false reporters immediately jumped you because you are new. I think they are trying to destroy Twitter by driving folks away from it and the site is unprepared to deal with them. I think the site should just relax the rules and go after spammers when it catches them itself. It should stop relying on people reporting since many of them are bad people.
They must have had it suspended for too long. How long were you suspended? Did you write to see if they’d restore your info? Update please.
hey my account was suspended then it got unsespended and now I lost all my followers/people I’m following, what do I do ?
I got suspended 4 times, please help me. 🙁 Is the twitter suspended acount reactivator that I saw on Youtube is real? What do you think? please answer 🙁 Im badly needed 🙁
what’s a ticket
My twitter account suspended for third time. How long and when will my account unsuspended and restored?
dear twitter , my account has been suspended. how long will it take?
I’ve been suspended for a second time. The first was for “agressive following” so I got my account back and followed less “agressivly”
How on earth are we supposed to make new friends on a so called “Social network” if the very act of doing so is considered as agressive.
I think it’s unreasonable that they can suspend us without saying why
One rule is not clear
How do they define agressive?
is it so many followa in one hour or so many in a day.
What are the limits?
How many people can I follow before I’m considered agressive?
Can anyone please enlighten me?
Thanks
hey did u fix ur problem . please tell me ??
but the give u ur account back later right?
Those Delbuis and Ginger people never reply I really need my account back to promote my music but it got suspended I’ve actually done nothing wrong
the same is happening with me. I got suspended again ….and this is 3rd when twitter did this to me even they are not responding my appeals. its been 7 days and dont know when they will restore my account or seems they are not in mood to do so.. why they are treating me like this while there was no aggressive following-unfollowing behavior or nothing i said that can call against the rule .. what to do now.. anyone can help??
twitter suspended me and i have not gotten my followers back and i am not following anyone. this makes me want to curse out twitter and shut mine down. will i get them back?
idk y i got suspended 4 agressive following. twitter is being an ass right now.
twitter is fucked up right now. the whole site was hacked. makes me pissed off.
I signed in and I’m just suspended and then I click “More info” but it doesn’t even tell me WHAT rule I violated, I’ve had that account for years and always did the same things, what happened NOW to change it? And how do they expect anyone to not violate any rules if they don’t tell you what rules you violated?
That’s EXACTLY what happened. People get upset at a political message, they block you so you can’t see what they’re doing, then they tell all their followers to report you. Boom. You’re suspended. Can happen in 30 seconds.
so I just received the email, but I don’t know how to respond to it. How should I reply to there email back? I really need help!
I replied to the twitter email but I don’t receive a reply even after 2
days.. What else can I do? Is it possible for you to help me get back my
account? Thank you.
When the account is no longer suspended do you gain all your followers back?
Absolute joke twitter suspended accounts that are highly important for a little girl with cancer!! Posters, flyers, leaflets have been made with that twitter name!! We need it back its highly important I’m disgusted
i got my account suspended and they cant deliver my message to the following WHYYYYYY !! please help me xx
My account got suspended yesterday and i chose a fake email for it. how can i get it back?? please help
I was on Twitter for two years with NO problem, then “suddenly” Nov. 22 was suspended. Since then, I’ve been suspended FOUR MORE TIMES , total of FIVE times in 81 days. Created an alternative account Jan 22 and it was suspended within six days, restored, then suspended AGAIN on Feb. 5. I have not changed my behavior on Twitter from day one, (2 years ago).
I don’t use profanity, I don’t solicit for sex, I don’t try to get mammoth # of followers, I ONLY follow those who are following me and/or who share my political and life views. I am being UNfairly targeted by RWNJs who only want to silence me because I tell the truth. I have people working on finding out who’s responsible for the malicious false reporting.
However, there are people on Twitter making Death Threats to President Obama, but THEIR accounts don’t get suspended, even after I know two of my followers had reported two of them to Secret Service five days ago!
Will i get my followers back ?
I got suspended and I just joined twitter and didn’t tweet anything or anything else besides link my account to Facebook. What should I do?
