I immediately stopped and unfollowed him. It was too suspicious. Thanks for this share, -Donna. Hi Donna, LOL, oh yes and you would not believe some of the others too it has happened to.
I have blocked some folks and reported some that were very annoying and were obvious spam accounts. You are welcome and thanks for coming by and have a great week ahead there Donna. Twitter Jail is really funny. I never had a thought of suspension of the Twitter account. By reading this post atleast I got an idea that my twitter account has some attributes that can attract twitter bot in suspending my account.
Will take care before tweeting. Thank You Lisa for sharing it with us. Really appreciated Jayant. Hi Jayant, yes there is really such a place. Even when folks do the Twitter bots can mistakely suspend an account as well. You are welcome and I appreciate your coming by and taking the time to comment. Have a good week ahead. One major issue is, retweeting those links for those Twitter accounts that were created by spammers.
Thanks for coming by Renard and for sharing! Have a great new week ahead. Hey, Lisa. Resourceful article. There were a couple of things that I was not aware of. I always tweeted with a link inside. Have any idea why this happens. Oh yes, beware of the Twitter rules. It can be easy to forget after a while as you are tweeting away. How long did you check on that? Sometimes it takes a while to catch up on the profile. You may have to clean up your cache and cookies on your browser too. Sometimes that will work.
Let me know how you make out. Thanks for coming by and have a great day. Thanks for reminding us to follow some great advices during the time our Twitter account is suspended. Hi Adeel, how crazy is that right? At least we only got the 48 hour shut off, some folks off for good. You are welcome and good luck getting back up Adeel! I hope it is a short time for you as well. Yep; suspended a few months back. So happy your account was recovered within 48 hours.
Ditto with mine. I also got caught up in the bot thing. Maybe I tweeted too many links too. Not sure as reading explanations is kinda tough at times but within 2 days I was good to go. I could probably have gotten back in more quickly but the cell verification number for texting was sitting on a desk in NJ, while I was sitting at a desk 8, miles away in Thailand.
Oh well. Hi Ryan, Oh no you had the phone in another location? Congratulations on your 51, followers. I saw Bren post about you being in Twitter jail on FB. I knew a blog post was coming! Hi Corinne, thank you. Oh yes, I just had to write about it to help others from going through it or if they do not to panic. During the last years I got lots of followers that had SQ domain name as their website.
Not affiliate links for SQ, but SQ domain name. Not followers. Lots of them. Thanks Adrian. I had a feeling it would only last 48 hours after the last time years ago.
Thanks for that tip too. So it could happen to anyone. And also what to do on Twitter with caution. I hope you are feeling better Adrian and have a great weekend. Thanks for coming by with your imfo on this one. You misunderstood me a little bit, but it may not be your fault. I followed them back!
Creating tons of accounts while providing services such as increasing your number of followers may lead someone to certain conclusions. Fill in the blanks! Hi Adrian, thanks for coming back to explain, I now understand exactly what you meant.
I hope you are feeling better today. One thing I will say about SQ is that they did mostly follow very relevant accounts, I would not have used them if not.
But a few were not and those are the ones I unfollowed on my own. Thanks for clarifying and have a wonderful weekend — I hope headache free! It may happen to any of us as these social networking sites are doing their best to stop spammer from joining its network. During cleaning up process, they occidentally block some of the real account holder, who could be anyone of us.
Hi Raj, thanks for your input with this one. Wow, only 1 day before Facebook reinstated your account? I know a blogger who took a week! Great tip to share with care as well. I know someone who had their account hacked recently on Twitter. Not a good feeling but as long as it can be fixed asap one can bear it. I also noticed on Twitter yesterday that I had some followers that were not on Twitter for 2 years.
You would think they would automatically be deleted by Twitter. Wow, I never even knew they had guidelines for that! I only got blocked on Facebook for sending to many friend invites to all the lovely dames out there. But, eh what are you going to do!? Hi Scott, oh yes, quite a few guidelines indeed. It happens at random situations, sometimes when I just retweet someone, when I follow a new person or when I shout out an affiliate link…. Have you figured out the why or is it just their robots?
I hope it gets better for you. That sounds frustrating indeed! Hi Lisa this is really awesome and helpful article thanks for sharing such a nice article. How it suspend account, ant other think are new for me.
Welcome to Inspire to Thrive and have a wonderful day ahead there. I heard that happen to another blogger too. I remember when Ana got shut out and she thousands of followers, and she had to start all over again. I know she was pissed. Thanks Lisa for the valuable tips.
Make sure that you have some way to contact your audience if anything ever goes wrong. Even if you never get suspended from a service, platform popularities fade and that has nothing to do with you.
Thanks Carlie. Yes, imagine if you had no way of contact anymore? Building email lists are great but many also change their email addresses over time too. Thanks for coming by and for your input Carlie. Have a great day and week ahead. I ended up in Twitter Jail once. I was hacked and apparently they changed my password so I had trouble logging in.
I emailed them from the email address I use for the account. They were very helpful and restored my account. Thankfully, none of my bright witty tweets were deleted. All my brilliance would have been lost in the Twittersphere! Oh the horror! Hi Tina, oh that could be another reason for it to happen. I loved how they fixed mine in 48 hours, and brought everything back up like it was.
And sent an email saying it was their fault. Gotta love Twitter for that. Welcome to Inspire to Thrive Tina.
Is twitter to be blamed only for the twitter jail its users are facing? Hi Yogesh, no Twitter is not to be blamed for all those in Twitter jail. Spammers deserve to be there. Yes, the spammers really deserve to be there. But, the people who are there in jail with no reason, twitter should update the algorithm.
Good to see that Twitter was so quick to correct the error in your case, though, and restore your account. You are welcome Sue, I sure was surprised that morning to open account and find it suspended. Twitter came through with quick responses and restored all within 48 hours and admitted their error.
Gotta love them for that! Thanks for coming by Sue and hope you have a great day there. I have never been suspended. I prolly would freaked out if they suspend me by mistake. Last time, my twitter got hacked, it gave me a headache for 3 days. I only have 2 accounts.
Anyhoo…thanks for this post. Now I know. I was calmer knowing what happened to Ana and happy that Twitter resolved in 48 hours and my followers and tweets all returned to normal. Thankful it was the newer account. Thanks for coming by and have a great day Angela. This is something to think about.
I did read the rules like you suggested and have been posting more personal updates lately. Thanks, Amy. Hi Amy, yes he did. Thanks for coming by and for your comment Amy. Enjoy the rest of your week!
My twitter account was Frozen back 2 years and you could say Twitter jail for 2 years but after that my account became normal and I am using right now.
Siddhartha, frozen? Did you ever find out why? Thanks for coming by and commenting on this one. I have been in twitter jail countless times normally only happens if I join a tweet party it sucks too. Glad you are out of jail now lol. Thanks for coming by. Are parties different than chats? Have a good evening Kita. I have been in both Twitter parties and Twitter chats and that has never been the reason Twitter locked me out.
I have had them make me confirm my account many times. I know many established bloggers who have had their Twitter accounts suspended or frozen. Most of the time we never figure out why, but going through an appeal has always gotten the accounts back. Twitter parties are typically used to promote products and give out prizes where Twitter chats are what we primarily participate in. Hi Gail, I like your term Twitter party.
It can be hard to sort out when this suspension happens. I kept thinking what did I do wrong? I still love Twitter though. When I first started on Twitter I was advised about over following people and also about unfollowing and re-following the same people in a hope to grab their attention…. Sorry that email address did not work. They may use it for responding only to them. I changed it on the post after you alerted me on Twitter this. If I ever end up in Twitter Jail, I know where to look to get the recipe on how to get back online again.
Thanks Jens, boy was I surprised that morning. Yes, I thought of Ana immediately too and how it could happen to anyone. I found the same with Google search too, the last update took my retail site off the map but now the latest update put it back on. Very ood stuff. Thank goodness for Pinterest and Bing among others. Have a great week there Jens. When i tried to tweet any of my posts, i will be told that the tweet contains a spam link.
That just started happening and i have contacted them all to no avail. Hi Theodore, did you try to email them? Can you do via the Buffer? Hope you can resolve it really soon. I will test sharing your posts too. This is interesting. Thanks again! Thanks Nate and welcome to Inspire to Thrive. Yes, there really is! Even if you follow the rules you could end up there.
How long were you in there for? But I was allowed to post on my own wall via status update. I was thrown in FB jail after I was adding a few people here and there. The second offense was worse, I was thrown in FB jail for the same reasons and this time for about 2 weeks. Same privileges were taken away. That was for adding someone and messaging. Nate, I could not do a thing with my Twitter account. Totally unusable.
All followers and tweets were gone. But they did reinstate it all in 48 hours. It was kinda amazing. Thought I would have to start over again. Thanks for clarifying here Nate. Glad I could share. I give them credit for fixing the problem and responding to your email. I have several profiles and I make sure they are pointing to different sites as well.
I have separate accounts for anything automated like Triberr. Brian, yes — makes me love them more over at Twitter. I log in daily to all. Tweetcaster makes it really easy on my mobile. Still would like a better service. Thanks for taking the time to come by Brian and for your input on this one. Have a great rest of the week there!
A similar thing happened to me with Pinterest. Email straightened it out fairly quickly, thank goodness. Thanks for making us aware of the Twitter protocols. Have a great day Debbie and thanks for coming by and adding your input on this one.
Excellent post! I knew about twitter jail from one of your books. I agree, it can happen to anyone. If I know the person, I keep it. On the one hand, it happens. In the end they must aim for balance and not retribution. That is why they answered to your mail and fixed the problem. I wonder, what would be the scenario if instead Twitter we have … Google.
The number of baskets slowly increases. What a good post, Lisa! I can see that you really have many, many years of experience. Good to learn from you. Thanks Silviu, yes I did write about and imagine how I felt being in it! But it was the robots nothing I did. I really loved how Twitteer fixed it within 48 hours and admitted it was their fault.
But I understand, they are trying to clean up spammers and they are many out there. Google, probably would not have answered.
Thanks again Silviu for your comment and coming by to read this one. Have a wonderful day there. I made a mistake and followed a lot of people…. Thanks for your input Sita and have a great day there. I agree with harleena, She is right! Lisa you are not alone there! There are some people those are with you. It never pays to try to outsmart Twitter or any of the other social platforms for that matter. Hi David, I think it was resolved quickly because it was their error with their robots.
Thanks for coming by David and welcome to Inspire to Thrive. Have a wonderful week. Sorry to hear you had to be in there for no reason. It may not be initially apparent that your account is suspended, until you try to carry out an action. Access to the attached email address if you do not remember the attached email address, see 2. Access to the associated phone number If not available, refer to 2.
An interim plan see below for our advice. If a phone number is requested, send a verification code to the number attached. If a phone number is requested, click on the Options drop down at the top right of the screen. Click continue and confirm that you are not a robot.
Respond to the email if requested to confirm that you have access to the account. Usually, Twitter will respond in a few hours or a few days, at worst.
However, during the current COVID situation, they can take up to a few weeks or even months to unlock the account. Description of problem: Hi, my account has been suspended incorrectly. Please could you unlock the account? Given the repeated warnings, it appears that the latest tweet was a final straw, which pushed Twitter to take its harshest decision with regard to her account.
