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.

    I joined twitter at the invitation of a business associate (mass blast), Several days later I took a look. Looked interesting – lots of social media types saying interesting things. Twitter suggested I follow them, I followed them – not all of them. Twitter then advised me I was suspended for being aggressive or being a bot or trying to get attention. WTF!

    Now I am told in a form letter they will restore my account provided I read the rules and don’t do the bad things I have been accused of doing (evidently some of the social media gurus didn’t like being followed – their ‘public tweets’ business discussions on social media may satisfy their guru images and vanity but actually seem to be private discussions so make really sure you don’t try to follow them – even if Twitter suggests you do.

    For legal reasons I cannot accept the twit judgment of the secret and anonymous committee court and will appeal since it appears they did not even read my letter detailed letter refuting each accusation. If I let their twit note informing me of their judgement to stand, I will be in a position of having to accept that I did whatever they accused me of – which I did not.

    Does anyone know of any people who work at Twit or are all actions performed by groupthink committees or by bots? I need a phone number to call pls.

    PS am I mistaken or is twitter more of an annoyance and a distraction that chews up peoples’ time or is it actually a real tool?

    I don’t get this at all. I created my account 5 days ago, followed about 300 companies, brands and people. Never personal messaged any of them. had 32 organic followers for my specific industry and had only 5 tweets that were not spam related by any means and was suspended. Seriously

  10. jaycarizol says

    February 22, 2013 at 10:28 pm

    No sooner had I wrote that then my account was restored with all my followers and brands and companies I follow.

    How much longer will my account be suspended…it’s been five days already.

    Hey folks, another possible reason for yours or my Twitter account on the “suspended” list is something called “Get More Followers Fast”, I actually may have followed this tweet NOT KNOWING that it violates Twitter’s following rules. DAMN! If only I’d known; anyway, I’m gonna wait it out for the weekend & see what happens. Only been on Twitter for 4 months, I’m following more than 600 other accounts, apparently that’s too rapid for someone who’s only been on for 4 months I guess. Anyways, lesson learned, I hope Twitter sees these, as I apologize sincerely & hope to see my Twitter page back up & running VERY soon, & all do my best to, uh, ‘behave’ this time 😉

    They suspended my account for being to aggressive in following people. Well I have just signed up for twitter two days before and twitter kept putting up these people that they recommend I should follow so I followed them and I also followed some that I wanted to follow that I knew. So if its that easy to get suspended on twitter then I guess I don’t need twitter. I just told them to cancel my account completely, I mean well I don’t really have to have twitter in my life its just not that important.

    Hi My account was suspended today How long should i wait until my account unsuspended??

    please answer my question because im dying and i think ive got depression right now! Basically one time i logged into my twitter account and it didnt work. then i found out its suspended. i had no idea twitter had rules and i think its unfair when they suspend ur account when they dont tell you about their rules. So i then freaked out like hell! this happened 2 or 3 days ago btw. I have NO idea what i have done wrong. Most people apparently spam celebrities and get suspended but i havent done that! Maybe im guessing its because i do quite alot of shout outs which i dont know if thats the reason? But still its not violating is it? i follow back the people who follow me. that is literally it. i have emailed twitter 5 times begging them to give me my account and followers back. i think i would die if they didnt. omg do you think i will get my followers back if its for shout outs or…? please reply!!!! <3

  16. Hey says

    March 3, 2013 at 2:27 am

    Hey I have been suspended 10 times in about 5 months and I haven’t even done anything wrong tries getting in contact with twitter they didn’t do anything I give up :-/

    After your account gets unsuspended, your follower counts will return to normal. It wakes on average about an hour or more depending on how many followers you have. Your followers WILL be restored. Just be patient. Hope this helps! 🙂 -Kayla

    Hi Sissi, I just had the exact same problem. How long does the ban last for this case? Did you have to do something about it?

    So, earlier today my account got suspended. I sent them a ticket and everything. I got a message back saying that my account is currently not suspended. I don’t wanna lose that account, this famous person followed me and it takes forever for them to follow you. I felt so happy that I was crying, then today my account got suspended, which made me think I lost everything. I got my account suspended from spamming this guy to follow me, but he was doing a following spree. I just need it back!!

    Same here omg my twitter got suspended for spamming my idol and he followed me and i was on cloud nine, then they suspended me!! Im so sad right now and i sent them like 5 tickets over the weekend and i dont think ill ever get it back considering the fact its my 4th time merely for spamming my idol, its not fair xP

  23. Summer says

    March 14, 2013 at 2:40 am

    My account has been suspended for three days, and I really want it back! What do I do? I sent them a “ticket” about 10 times now. Literally. While it may seem like I’m annoying them, they keep sending me the same automated response and it doesn’t look like they’ll be corresponding to me any time soon. What do I do??

  26. Calonie Johnson says

    March 15, 2013 at 2:25 pm

    Yeah. I got suspended because of defending my religion using mainly calm tones and NO cursing at all (since I know that stuff can get you reported and it isn’t nice, anyway). A bunch of nonbelievers harassed the heck out of me and used filthy language and were not suspended. They Tweeted as much as me and still were not suspended! Not fair. I blocked a lot of these people, so I know they didn’t have a chance before being blocked by me) noone spammed or reported me. I think it was foer the # of my Tweets, then. I even told many of them I’d report them if they did not stop. Being responsible. One girl still was mentionig (@) me after I warned AND blocked her. NOT FAIR. Twitter plays favorites (in a weird, indirect way) and does not play fair.
    Twitter needs to seriously check itself. They also need better rules and for the rules to be tighter because they let people get away with really nasty behavior. I mean, couple years back, I was able to get two accounts suspended for verbal abuse/harassment and that was extraordinary. With this incident, however, they are wrong. if they keep it up, they’ll be as wretched as Youtube. And you know THEY do not care about policing activities on Youtube at ALL. You report something and they always say they cannnot find the problem. I reported someone using the ‘n’ word, references to killing people and so on and they did NOTHING.

    Just wrong. They are wrong for that.

    My account was suspended for ”aggressive following” and all I had to do was agree to some stuff then I got it back. I got suspended again for it and I’ve sent them a ticket but they haven’t replied. It’s been 2 days. 🙁

    Same here. I just had my account suspended for 2 days now. Same reason. I decided to unfollow the people barely know.
    For how many days I need to suffer? This is so disappointing. I shouldn’t have used Twitter in the first place. Once I’m gonna get to the bottom of this, I’m gonna start using Facebook as my primary social media.

  44. Khadija says

    April 3, 2013 at 9:38 pm

  45. Bumblebee says

    April 3, 2013 at 10:11 pm

    Oh, let me see, maybe it’s because you’re 11 for gods sake, and why the heck would you need twitter at that age anyway? You don’t even know how to write properly!

  46. Jewell Margolis says

    April 4, 2013 at 2:21 am

    I got suspended last night, with no e mail telling me they were going to do it or why, how am I suppose to know what I did wrong? I read they can suspend your account if they think it has been hacked, but they weren’ around when I was hacked and had to get a new account, yet these porn bots and photos are allowed to have Twitter.

  47. Alex says

    April 4, 2013 at 12:11 pm

    I got suspended today. I don’t know why!? The only thing I can think of is that I unfollow we many people because they I followed me! How is that aggressive?! This is bullshit…

  48. t(-_-t says

    April 5, 2013 at 2:53 am

    I see tons of abusive accounts tweeting abusive things, hateful things etc. I report them, nothing happens. But as soon as I reply to one tweet i get suspended? Really Twitter? Fuck you!

    Got suspended for following to many people at once…

  50. Lalani says

    April 5, 2013 at 9:43 am

    Why should people get suspended for following to many people at once?
