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.

    Thank goodness. I was suspended today (I don’t know why). I have almost one thousand followers, including 2 U.S. Senators. Very difficult to understand.

  2. Linda Marie Lovison says

    September 17, 2013 at 8:34 am

    Very sad situation.

  3. Linda Marie Lovison says

    September 17, 2013 at 8:35 am

    How can you be reported if you didn’t do anything wrong?

  4. Linda Marie Lovison says

    September 17, 2013 at 8:39 am

    Hi! I was just suspended today. I am not a RWNJ. I am a Christian, tend to be more conservative than liberal, but never try to quiet anyone. I never say anything impolite or unkind. I still do not know why I was suspended.

  5. Linda Marie Lovison says

    September 17, 2013 at 8:41 am

    It’s very strange, that’s for sure. I do not know why my account was suspended, but it is indeed, very unfair.

  6. Linda Marie Lovison says

    September 17, 2013 at 8:42 am

    I only follow those who follow me, also. I do not know why they suspended my account. Very unfair.

  7. Linda Marie Lovison says

    September 17, 2013 at 8:43 am

    It’s very unfair.

  8. Linda Marie Lovison says

    September 17, 2013 at 8:44 am

    It’s sad.

  9. Linda Marie Lovison says

    September 17, 2013 at 8:45 am

    I’m suspecting that also. I was suspended today and don’t know why.

  10. Linda Marie Lovison says

    September 17, 2013 at 8:45 am

    It is difficult when they are so unfair.

  11. Linda Marie Lovison says

    September 17, 2013 at 8:47 am

    I am hoping that will happen for me. I have not done anything wrong and am always respectful. I only follow those who follow me first.

  12. Linda Marie Lovison says

    September 17, 2013 at 8:50 am

    My religion is Christian. I do not force it on anyone. I do post encouraging Bible scriptures about God loving us (because so many people are hurting these days). It would be sad if we are not allowed to have freedom of speech or religion.

  13. Linda Marie Lovison says

    September 17, 2013 at 8:50 am

    Sad.

  14. Linda Marie Lovison says

    September 17, 2013 at 8:51 am

    Sad, isn’t it?

  15. Linda Marie Lovison says

    September 17, 2013 at 8:52 am

    Sad situation.

  16. Linda Marie Lovison says

    September 17, 2013 at 8:53 am

    I don’t know. It’s sad.

  17. Linda Marie Lovison says

    September 17, 2013 at 8:56 am

    My account was suspended today. It is disheartening, that’s for sure.

  18. Linda Marie Lovison says

    September 17, 2013 at 8:58 am

    It’s so sad. I don’t understand, either.

  19. Linda Marie Lovison says

    September 17, 2013 at 9:01 am

    I already did.

  20. Linda Marie Lovison says

    September 17, 2013 at 9:02 am

    Me, too.

    My Account in twitter is suspended what will i do ?

  28. Jessica Sindy Sirait says

    September 26, 2013 at 8:47 pm

    Hey, my twitter account is @jessicasindys and I can’t login my account..
    Well, I can still use my twitter until now. Cause I’ve already logged in to my gadgets.
    I barely open twitter now, and when I tried to login via browser, it said “wrong username/password”
    I tried to another twitter application, and it said exactly the same.
    I chaned my password (I thought someone hacked me) with the “forgot password?” Button. It succeeded!

    I tried to login but, it said there is an error or something like that. I tried it again, then it said wrong username/password.

    I asked my friends. They said, “maybe twitter suspended your account.”

    I sent ticket, of course. But when I saw some reviews from google..
    Did twitter really suspend my account?
    Or maybe there is a mistake, trouble, error or something to my account?

    But still– I can use my twitter normally on my gadgets. But I can’t login to another browser, device, or applications….
    I barely open my twitter for now. I never tweet rude or do anything wrong.

    I’m confused.

    Thanks for your help.
    Hope to see your reply soon.

    my account got suspended for the second time in two days, to my knowledge i hadn’t broken any of the rules of twitter. or aggressively followed anyone, i want to know why twitter is trying to get rid of me.

  30. Matthew Tyler Preston says

    September 29, 2013 at 4:32 am

    I got mine suspended for following to many people I was just checking out local girls since I am single but no i’m not getting back on i’m not spam and i’m not gonna apoligise to them for following to agressively so forget Twitter!

  31. liv says

    September 30, 2013 at 2:56 am

    i think its stupid they suspend you for following or unfollowing people “aggressively”

  32. Jason says

    October 1, 2013 at 9:11 pm

    I created an account, tweeted 5 times and got suspended immediately. Didn’t have the account more then six hours

  33. Judy says

    October 6, 2013 at 6:11 pm

    Same thing that happened to me. I pointed out to some twit that a user already knows she was stealing her tweets and got her legion of fangirls to report me.

  34. dhl55 says

    October 7, 2013 at 8:48 am

    I just got suspended by Twitter and I have NO idea why – I have never used foul/abusive language but I did challenge someone who disagreed with me – big mistake – I think they must have reported me. I will try to remember this dude’s name so I can return the favor if I am ever unsuspended!!

  35. Karina Azlanova says

    October 7, 2013 at 2:06 pm

    Hello, the same boring story)) But what I really want to know is what did you meant ‘Use your other account created earlier to tweet…’? What if I didn’t had any other account created earlier? Thank you kindly 😉

  36. Mujeer says

    October 8, 2013 at 3:06 pm

    my twitter account got suspended.its almost 1 day.i already sent the ticket and they replied but after i reply to their email,i dont receive any email from twitter.How long it would take to unsuspend my account??

  37. Gwyndolen Boudicca Benghazi Be says

    October 10, 2013 at 11:39 am

    I’ve been suspended for over 4 days now with no response. When I try to open a new ticket I get this email in response. We’ve found more than one request from you regarding the same issue. This ticket has been closed, and we’ll respond to your original request in the order it was received. Someone should be in touch with you shortly. I have no idea why my account was suspended and I’m starting to think that twitter is worse than Faebook with this sort of crap.

    October 25, 2013 at 3:37 pm

    Argh, I think Twitter should have more common sense. I spammed when I only posted 1 tweet. NICE. I followed 14 people and they consider it an aggressive behavior? WOW. I mean, why is ONE TWEET considered spam? If I were them, I would fix that problem. Managing a Twitter account is hard ESPECIALLY when they suspend you SO EASILY. My Twitter is currently suspended, even though I sent an email and they replied with “someone going to get in touch with me soon” and its been 3 hours. I really want my twitter back, my friend is going HAYWIRE since I told her that it got suspended.

  41. Hipster Hank says

    October 29, 2013 at 12:23 am

    I went to that link you gave and it had a list of things, but I did not know which one to go to. I also wanted to contact them but don’t know where to go for that.

    I can’t reply on the email of Twitter. It says that blah blah confirm it reply something so I replied but it keeps on mail failure and something about blocked on replying stuff. Please help! I’m using iPad mini by the way, so I don’t know what to do.

  45. Shawn Fifield says

    November 7, 2013 at 1:20 pm

    Heck, I do not mind that I am suspended, I can be a bit…. strange (not disrespectful or crass, just strange) I would just like to know what I did so I can avoid doing it in the future. there should be a reason when suspended, even if it is not the “final” reason, some hint would be helpful.

    Just had my twitter account suspended and I suspect oen of three whiners complained about my comments. I was not threatening, profane or what I would consider abusive but we do live in an age where “milquetoastery” is a virtues. I live in Toronto and I was critical of two city councillors, Joe Mihevc and Mary Margaret McMahon, as well as a so-called public relations advisor named Amanda Alvaro. These dainty souls evidently do not like criticism. 🙁
