  3. Aaron,this happened a lot i think,some very famous twitterrer being banned ( i think its mistakenly)

    Hope ur account back live again soon! and this is the first time someone have post hows the inside banned account looks like! BRILLIANT Idea!

    Thanks for this Aaron!

  4. you were claiming yourself to be number 1 in your county.. and following.. unfollowing and refollowing resulted in this!!! you cant game with twitter they will catch your dirty games!!!

  7. this is not acceptable.. what is wrong with twitter moderation team.. they go and disturb general people but they can’t clean up the many mass spammers … they can be really ridiculous sometimes.. i am so sorry this happened .. hopefully this will sort out soon enough..

  8. It happens dude! now quickly file a twitter ticket and they will restore you in no time. Twitter is going from bad to worse now.

  20. 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

  21. 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.

  23. 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

  26. 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.

  28. 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?)

  29. 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.

  31. 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.

  32. 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.

  33. 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

  35. 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!

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

  37. 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.

  38. 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. 🙂

  42. 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!

  43. 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!

  49. 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.
