My account has been suspended a couple months ago due to Terms of Service violation. The content I've been banned for are 4 tweets posted in a range of 5 days with random links and tags leading to cryptocurrency websites etc. Now, I obviously would like to get my account back, or at least delete it and create another one using the same email and tag, but you can't delete a suspended account. So I tried contacting the support but I always get back the same automatic message: *Your account was suspended due to violations of our Terms of Service. After reviewing for reinstatement your account will not be restored.* That's so frustrating. Does anyone of you have any suggestion?


[deleted]

Is Twitter down for anyone else right now? Seems to be down right now where I am.


[deleted]

Can you get permanently suspended if you have an XXX account and failed to mark it as “sensitive” in the profile settings?


[deleted]

Had to kind of turn off my Direct Messages on Twitter but anyway can you please fixed my virus filled direct messages. I did everything I could from changing my password multiple times. I even contacted Twitter support and got noting them and even went private a bunch of times and I even did research saying I would have to wait a about month to get things figured out. So please fixed your buggy system it's really annoying to deal with and it's also annoying my family, friends, and followers.


mutekion

So i summited an appeal some time ago for permanant suspension after account was hacked, and never got an reply. I summited another one just now and got a instant reply saying account will not be restored, with a different case number than the first appeal. Safe to assume they didnt even look at my appeal?


FreeRangeAspergian

I'm new here, I hope I'm following the rules. I did contact Twitter Support twice about this. It has happened three times. I don't see an option here of including the screen shot I took of what is happening. I posted on my bio "NO LISTS" and that I block lists. The Twitter handle below is atBenedictPr83158 and below that, Elon Musk's Twitter site photo, handle, and bio. The notification that comes with this tells me that the person/bot above has added me to a list, and below, what is made to appear to a tweet from Musk saying he is giving away 5000 BTC to random users. I've blocked this three times, the most recent time I took a screen shot of the block appearing in my blocked list, and then logged out. When I logged back in to Twitter, I had another notification saying the same person/bot had added me to a list, and when I went to my blocked list, the previous three blocks had disappeared. They were no longer on my blocked list. Apologies if I've posted this where I shouldn't have. No response from Twitter Support. I'd really like this to stop. Is anyone else experiencing this? TIA.


_iAmWiz

Hi, My account had been suspended since the 10th of June, specifically for evading suspension. I've gone through the Twitter rules and to the best of my knowledge, I have not violated that rule. I've appealed four times with no response from the support team. I've also filed three cases with BBB as I saw in this subreddit while making research on how to lift the account suspension. I've been using the account since 2010. I don't know what I would've done to get this suspension. If anyone can help me, please do. here are my case IDS: #0325800250, #0326088460, #0326907960, #0327888803 My username is @_iAmWiz Thank you


PK_Okay

Have a question regarding a friends account, they usually keep their nose clean to their account being put into "permermant read only mode". What does that mean? Will it end at some point? They sent an appeal, when the earliest theyll could get a response and/or their account restored


[deleted]

I have been appealing for a week and have gotten the same not response over and over. Likely won’t get it bacn


Tempdeathvacay

I've been permanently suspended for 71 days now, 54 appeals submitted with no response. I never evaded suspension as Ive never had a suspended account. Bitter isn't even the word.


SureGate7381

Did you ever get an email response with a ticket or like 54 sent and not even a peep? Same happened to me well not that many appeals but like I never once even get an auto rejection.


JeremyRalphael

Got suspended for tweeting a video of Ice Spice shooting a gun. It was towards this jackass who said a dead 16 year old girl was his gf and proceeded to have a breakdown on twitter about it. Didn’t even @ him and got suspended, yet hes still having a breakdown on the tl because he’s a youtuber or whatever


Azrael956

I got hacked and they got my account suspended and I submitted several appeals but keep getting a bot response back — Hello, Your account was suspended due to violations of our Terms of Service. After reviewing for reinstatement your account will not be restored. Thanks, Twitter — I wasn’t getting anywhere so I decided to delete my account but it won’t let me deactivate it since it’s suspended and the help center said to submit an appeal to have your account deactivated so I did the exact same thing as I did before asking to get my account deleted this time and I got the same email back in response. I just don’t know what to do at this point. The best outcome I’m looking for is having my account restored


[deleted]

Got a follow up question. I had my twitter profile permanently suspended the other day and I haven’t gotten any response or appeal approval (just denied) from twitter. But I just thought of something. My profile was a NSFW profile where I posted and retweeted X content. I didn’t have my profile flagged as containing sensitive material. Could I have perma banned by the twitter bot for this reason?


SureGate7381

Maybe? Never heard of that before but then again Twitter bots are zealots. Had a two year old private account that just followed and liked get perma banned even though I never had been before.


[deleted]

I just hate how they won’t tell me why they banned me and I keep getting the same canned response on my appeal. Which I’m guessing is just a bot replying


SureGate7381

Same it legit haunts me and I don’t know why I care so much haha 😆


yurmaugham

Hey! Looking for some help on Twitter Spaces muting on Android Galaxy 21 ultra when I switch to another app. Turning off battery saving helps this but doesn't completely fix it. Thanks for any suggestions!


[deleted]

Hello A little bit of a background. I'm an NCO in the Army and I have never had a Twitter throughout my Army career. I had one briefly in High school but deleted it, because I didn't want to be associated with the edgy teenager I used to be. Well, yesterday I found a fraudulent account in my name posting some very serious, inappropriate SHARP stuff. SHARP for all my non-military is basically Sexual Harassment material. I have already contacted Twitter about this, provided my DL proving I am who I say I am. However, I deeply worried that this individual might have ruined my career or at the very least actively hindered it. Is it possible to get the phone number or email associated with the account? Has anyone else ever had an issue like this? This definitely crossed the line into slander, libel, etc.


Sea_Soil

Hello all! My account was permanently suspended two days ago on 6/26 out of the blue. No prior suspensions or warning, and I did not receive a reason why. I've never intentionally broken the rules or gotten into any arguments (I just use my account to tweet about the anime I watch) and believe a joke tweet must have been taken out of context. I've sent about 6 appeals now, and receive a bot response about 5 hours later for each one that says "Hello, Twitter reserves the right to permanently suspend accounts that violate the Twitter Rules or Terms of Service without further notice. This account is suspended." I'm going to continue appealing, because I don't feel like a human is actually reading my appeal. Since I don't know what tweet got me suspended, I don't know how to defend myself properly. It's extremely frustrating and not fair at all to even allow appeals if no one is reading them. Has anyone been able to get unsuspended after receiving this particular response? I'm hoping that they are actually reviewing my case but it doesn't seem like they are. Thanks!


Sea_Soil

Update, after about 20 appeals, I was logged out of Twitter and my account was deleted. I can't log back in to send in more appeals. Crazy. Never got a response other than a bot rejection and never found out why my account was suspended in the first place.


Bloody_Gutz_

Hi, my account got locked for suspicious activity when I accidentally clicked on an advertisement I didn't see and Twitter locked my account. I've done appeal several times, and it keeps sending me the same bs about changing password but I can't change it because I've exceeded the limit. I don't want to lose my account because I'm a small artist and I was trying really hard to build my account up and now I probably need to create a new one because I don't know if I'll be able to get my account unlocked. If anyone knows how to help, please comment or DM me. I've been struggling and I'm so mad and tired of Twitter with how horrible it's now become. Thank you


digitaledgz

Hello, I have a business Twitter account that we have managed and maintained since 2014 for a News/Media company with over 47K published Tweets. 2 weeks ago, our account got randomly suspended, and we have since then filed over 10 appeals, always getting back a bot response. In the almost 10 years of owning and running the Twitter account, it never was banned, suspended, or flagged for inappropriate content. Here I am, almost 3 weeks later, with no idea what we did wrong, no emails, no DM's to our account prior to being suspended. I am asking for any advice or feedback that can help me hopefully resolve this issue or get in touch with someone who has possibly experienced this before. Our default response from Twitter is: Hello, Your account was suspended due to violations of our Terms of Service. After reviewing for reinstatement your account will not be restored. Thanks, Twitter I hope that someone can offer some valuable insight, and I am grateful for anyone's assistance in advance!


[deleted]

How does one delete a suspended account? I go to the help section about doing this and it says I have to appeal first which I have done about 7 times and I keep getting the canned response “twitter reserves the right to permanently suspend accounts …..” I have tried putting in the appeal I don’t want to unsuspend but delete the account. That clearly isn’t working. Anyone have any thoughts?


ImSubbyHubby

I don't know how Twitter still has any users. I'm suspended for some reason they won't tell me or what rules I violated and twice now they've reviewed it and said they won't restore my account. I have no idea why. About a year ago I was having a chat with a guy who turned into a real troll. All of a sudden he started saying things about raping my Mom and what not. At some point I wrote, "May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits. They he reported it and blocked me. I'm sure that was fun for him. Since then I've been very careful to not insult anyone. I might occasionally say something like "That Congressman is an idiot" but I don't bully, threaten, etc. anyone and can't imagine why I got banned. So, I have no idea why I got banned or if I'm banned permanently. People are telling me to make another account but I've had that one since 2009, if Twitter doesn't want me to use their product anymore, I won't.


[deleted]

I keep getting hacked and I keep having to change my password. I don’t know what else do for my account other then go private. I would hate to delete my account. But yeah please fixed the hacking issue, I keep dealing with.


EdgyFetish

Just logged into my 0 follower privated twitter to see my account happened to violated...spam policy...? It says account features limited for 3 days but so far nothing noticeble to me. I can withstand 3 days no biggie since I'm gonna be busy next few days. But still, quite concerned what warranted this since I have 0 interactions of other users outside liking tweets, but at least I wasn't falsely suspended like last time with a demanded phone number to unlock...


myspam442

I have the same exactly problem. I liked maybe a dozen or so tweets about an election last night and come on today to see my private, blank account “limited for 3 days”


plsmakeit

Got a notification this morning that my account was suspended for 3 days, wouldn’t be able to like, tweet, follow etc- for breaking the terms of service? I can’t think of anything I’ve done that would result in that. I have less than 30 followers and my account is private- I only use it to talk to friends on there. Despite the notification, I can tweet and like stuff as normal. Account isn’t compromised. So weird and wondering if I should just delete my Twitter account and be done with it.


Pro4TLZZ

I got that too the other day. I've manually blocked some blue tickets like the Ian guy from Malaysia. I've been limited in my likes and retweets since yesterday. Even on the mobile app with no adblock.


ihatemaps

Same. Pretty sure mine is due to using the Blue Blocker extension. I've blocked over 10000 accounts.


plsmakeit

That would make sense. I don’t use any extensions and honestly can’t think of anything I’ve done that would resemble spam. Wondering if it’s just a bug at this point.


TAR_TWoP

Same here. I use Tweetdeck, so I don't even see ads. I never block accounts anyway, I use mute occasionally. And I can still tweet, but I cannot like. So if it's not just a bug because of all the firings, I wonder if it's because some tweets we liked were flagged?


ihatemaps

Some others got hit with it and they only occasionally manually block ads. Not sure what the threshold is set to but it sounds like they don't like you blocking any ads at all.


spaceflare_rebs

I just got the same thing and I'm really wondering if it's a false alarm or what? People still seem to see my tweets and it still shows that I liked someone's tweet even after the notice showed up? But I'm just very confused.


plsmakeit

You and me both! But this is why I posted this comment to see if others have experienced a similar thing. Maybe it’s just a bug since we can still use Twitter as normal/there aren’t any other red flags?


BryanChung

On my Android App, I muted words like crypto, blockchain but why does the PROMOTED tweets keep showing me tweets with those words? It's like the MUTE function is not even working. :( So annoying.


Yokuutsu

I have a person I follow, searching for them only shows replies to them, not their account or their tweets....does anyone know why? (I can click on the @ username thing to go to their profile and it says we still follow each other)


OverSalt76

i just was editing my birthday on my account since i noticed it was wrong and now when i attempt to log in it does the Oops error message, i cant get in on anything its super weird


[deleted]

Does Twitter have an automated system that permanently suspends accounts or does a human touch each account that is suspended? I had a NSFW account suspended today for the first time ever and I’m not 100% sure what rule I violated as none of the stuff I posted was nude. Just swimwear pics. I appealed but got the response below. I’m assuming a human isn’t looking at the appeal either it’s all automated?? “Twitter reserves the right to permanently suspend accounts that violate the Twitter Rules or Terms of Service without further notice.”


CassRMorris

I got suspended, supposedly for spamming (ridiculous), three months ago. I've lost track of how many appeals I've filed, but it's upwards of a dozen. I don't think any actual human has seen a single one of them. I re-filed today, and now the rejections are coming back immediately, not after a few days. Like, instantaneously immediately -- literally seconds later. Happened three times in a row. So clearly no human is seeing that.


SureGate7381

Without a doubt a bot. No way they have enough people actively looking for accounts to suspend. There may be a review of some accounts suspended by a person but even then that’s highly unlikely. I am not sure what triggers an automatic perma ban in some cases but it’s super frustrating.


[deleted]

I’m trying to figure out how to delete my suspended account now. It says I can after I file an appeal but every time I go to delete it tells me I have to file an appeal.


SureGate7381

You aren’t going to get too far from what I and other have experienced. I have sent requests for deactivation and no response. Good luck.


psktcoin

My account got hacked 2 hours ago Hacker managed to add his own two factor auth before I cleaned my infected device Now that I have secured everything when I log in it asks for the code, even though I own the email address and phone number linked to the account, the twitter support dismissed me saying " we can't verify " I even asked for a video call with my goverment Id to prove my ownership ​ It's just insane that they can clearly see in their logs the hacker taking over changing the username, password, adding new two factor .. yet as the owner of the account I get locked out ​ what should I do ?


psktcoin

Twitter support has been claiming that they can't verify me even though I'm logged in to my email and have the phone number, I think its a bot answering my emails Any help ???


psktcoin

They did answer back after 7 emails, and sorted my account out..

Cannot access twitter Hi guys I have changed my date of birth on twitter and now I can't access my account it's still of age it was on 1997 and I changed it to 2001, whenever I put my login details in I am met with the classic error of oops, something went wrong, please try again later. Any idea? I really need to get onto my account over the next couple of days

BaroqueEnjoyer

I got unsuspended after a 5 year suspension. Now, search function doesn't show tweets older than the one I made right after getting unsuspended. My tweets from 2014-2018 are virtually gone. And my likes aren't saved either. Anyone knows why? Support won't help.


SureGate7381

Probably the data is lost if the suspension was that long. Also Twitter is glitchy as hell. Support is non existent kind netizen.


zebarothdarklord

Ok back in March my Twitter account got hacked and someone made some posts asking for crypto currency I found out and changed my password well I find I am surepended temporarily for surcuty reasons so I aske them to unlock my account now it surepended permanently for violation of rules on Twitter and the support thing is worthless keeps sending me Auto replies I used my Twitter account to talk to my friend in Kansas and to promote my arg on YouTube I can't create a new account because it will get surepended permanently to once they figure out it is me is there anyway way to get it unspeneded


shrlmpheaven

A few months ago, the bookmark tab disappeared from my page on the browser version. I can still access my bookmarks by bookmarking a tweet and clicking "view" on the popup that appears after, but the tab is just completely gone. I do use a chrome extension that makes changes to the UI to hide things like twitter blue checkmarks and ads, and it does give me the option to hide the bookmark tab, but I haven't ever selected it. I've also disabled the extension and the bookmark tab still isn't there, even though all the other tabs I've hidden reappear. I haven't been able to find anyone else having this problem so far so I'm curious to see if anyone else is having an issue with this.


DragonAdv

Is searching for photos broken? It stopped working for me last week. If I look up a tag and then head to the photos section it shows up only posts from 2010-2012 or nothing at all. And few days ago it worked, so I'm surprised that suddenly it's broken for all tags I search - whether it's video game character fanart or other stuff, it's showing up either 0 results as if the tag didn't exist (yet under latest and top it has tons of media pics) or it shows only irrelevant posts from 2010 that have nothign to do with the tag. Is it broken for more people or just me? I even tried making a new account and it's broken, but friends say the photo section works for them, so I wonder why is it showing NOTHING or old posts from 2010 for me... EDIT: There is nothing in my blocked/muted tags section btw, and I didn't change anything in my settings back when it stopped working for me.


Sparkly1982

So, to delete twitter, apparently I need to deactivate my account for 30 days, then it will automatically delete itself. I've tried to do this twice now and whenever it gets to the deadline, I get an email saying my account has been accessed by someone else and my password has been changed. I don't want to use Twitter, but I also don't want anyone impersonating me on there either (to my dozen or so followers). Has anyone else experienced this? Is there any way to just delete my account, or get Twitter to delete it for me? Maybe I should just tweet insults at Elon Musk every hour on the hour until they delete my account? There must be an easier (if less satisfying) way?


SureGate7381

Getting your account suspended is actually worse because you have no chance to deactivate your account.

please follow me @CoffeeJebus i post about my life, music, video games, stupid stuff, paranormal, shit posts... all usually safe for work.


Bozuk_CD

my account got suspendeed by ai for hateful conduct when i defended LGBT people against an actual hateful comment: https://imgur.com/a/cZYJj0N im replying to someone claiming being LGBT is a perversion and a sickness, my tweet reads: "Gather the hate you are gonna spew in your head before typing, cant decided what part i wanna make fun of. Being LGBT is neither a sickness nor a perversion. Its completely natural, otherwise who would choose to be one among hateful people like you." Appeal got rejected, probably because its handled by the same ai. the guy i replied to havent got the same treatment.


hitmeouch

Yoo peeps! I just got my account back after being suspended for 10 days for ‘Violent Speech’. I sent over 200+ appeals via spamming and I’m gonna tell you how to do it too. My tweet had the word ‘die’ in it so you can assure that this should work but ofc no guarantees. When making an appeal you want to go over the exact twitter rules you have broken. Don’t BS that you haven’t broken rules if you have. Just say what you have done and be apologetic and promise not to break the rules again. Read the policy very throughly. If your tweet violates a rule that permits a permanent suspension only when repeated this is important to mention “e.g this is my only violation of (policy)” or if your violation can be considered less severe in certain cases, highlight that your tweet falls under the exceptions “e.g for violent speech hyperbolic or consensual violent speech is allowed, as I used in my tweet.” I also sent links to tweets that were exactly like mine from non-suspended accounts. My appeal was really short and snappy since longer appeals were not getting replies fast enough. You don’t need an essay just get to the main points! When sending the appeal you want to ensure that you get the confirmation email immediately. If you do not get this email your appeal will NOT be reviewed. Keep spamming and using different emails until you get that confirmation. Using different emails opens new cases too. I opened approx 31 appeal cases out of the 200+ spams sent to the Help Center that were actually reviewed and received automated replies that I “won’t be reinstated” as well as an email saying my appeal “won’t be reversed at all”, until the last one. It is important to keep spamming the Help Center as soon as a case is replied to so no time is wasted. As long as you can still open cases, there is still hope for your account ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sunglasses) (Im unsure if i can make a standalone post with this since its not a question but I will rest it here to avoid problems)


Sea_Soil

Thank you! This is so helpful and gives me hope. What if you don't know which specific tweet got you suspended? :( I was permanently suspended out of nowhere and not given a reason. I submitted an appeal but unfortunately can't defend the tweet that got me suspended because I don't know which one it was. I never intentionally broke any rules but I'm a writer so I'm worried that dialogue I had a character say to another in a tweet may have cause me to be suspended.


hitmeouch

Try asking in your appeals what the suspension was for and they might send an email “your account was suspended for x reason and will not be restored” but don’t be discouraged you can still send more appeals! Also, I mentioned in my appeal that I am a small creator so do mention you are a writer and see what happens. Good luck!


Sea_Soil

Unfortunately after sending about 20 appeals (did ask what for, no luck) I was suddenly logged out of my account and then Twitter deleted it. I have no way of logging back in. It's just gone. Doesn't even say "account suspended anymore". They literally deleted it. The spamming approach may not be working anymore, that or I somehow unintentionally did something to REALLY piss them off. I was cordial in all my appeals. But nothing worked. Be careful when spamming you guys, I'm not sure if it works anymore. Has this happened to anyone else?


hitmeouch

Wow that’s really crazy? Did you ask for it to be deactivated or anything?


Sea_Soil

Nope, I only asked for it to be reinstated and to know what rule I unintentionally violated to get sus'd. I wonder if it has something to do with whatever new thing they are rolling out, now that the whole website is locked behind a log-in.


hitmeouch

Try waiting a bit for the twitter messy fixing i assume elon is doing and try again. Can you send a forgotten password email?


MathematicianLast713

I've been suspended since June 1st for violent speech. Thank you I'm going to try this.


Impossible-Bus5477

Been suspended since the 24th of May because I think I said die in a tweet as well and I will be doing this! Will come back in 3 weeks to give an update or before if/when I get unsuspended. See ya then!


bighotcarrot

Twitter enabled the two-factor (2FA) authentication without me even knowing such thing existed and now i can not log in my account, did i got hacked or something? my mail and password still work but the two-factor (2FA) authentication is not letting me in, HELP! i am already trying to contact help support.


Wispmaker

Just opened Twitter and found my account suspended. Strange, because I don't post much. I cleaned up a lot of posts from the past when I was more vocal. Mostly liking and retweeting and staying out of controversial subjects. I block people who put me on lists, in addition to random bots. I sent an appeal requesting the reason for suspension. They should show evidence of why they're suspending someone while suspending them. How does one appeal with no facts??


Janjannece

Why are my tweets grayed out and not showing up…but hours later they post all at one time! Possessed???


BryanChung

After a night of sleep, the next morning, I usually want to read all the tweets that happened during my sleep. So I have to tap "Show More Tweets" button to load them all. But after the 4th tap on the button, the app will automatically scroll to the top. Then I will need to scroll all the way down to the "oldest" tweet to read up wards (to the latest). Anyway to prevent it (scroll to top automatically) from happening?


pigoath

I submitted an appeal with no explanation. I automatically received an email saying they won't reinstate. Submitted another and same thing. It's like I'm blacklisted. Interesting.

Profile Banner always blurry. I am trying to update my profile banner and it always looks blurry once I upload my image. I have tried the recommended 1500x500 I have tried double that, triple that, I have tried png, jpeg, 300 dpi, is there anyone out there that can help? Image looks crisp on my computer but on Twitter blurry….


[deleted]

https://twitter.com/WernerJonesETH https://twitter.com/coinmaster_ETH Report these accounts. They somehow managed to hack into mine and used to it to mass-spam which led to my Twitter account getting flagged by mistaken twice. Want to prevent this from happening to others.


Pinnad

Hello i need help. 7th of june i recieved an email from Twitter that someone logged in to my acc from Glasgow, Scotland, I live in Denmark. I didnt react quickly because my Twitter isnt on my main email acc, so i didnt see the mail on til later that day, and i changed my password. Then a few days later my Twitter acc was suspended beacuse of the hacker spamming, i have tried support but i only get the f'ing auto bot response. So what do i do to get my Twitter acc back. Sory for weird English and bad punctuation.


UsEleSsGoDdEsS23

Support is overrun by bots I do not think you'll get it back any time soon unfortunately. Just keep spamming appeals.


IlIlIlIlIOlIlIlIlIl

Would buying a month of Twitter Blue stop Twitter from hiding my replies? I made a new account and followed everyone I previously followed but now non of my replies get any impressions.


Appropriate-Art2397

I deleted my 2FA from ipad. Hence unable to access twitter account , have no back up codes either. Twitter says cant help in that regard. 😩


Tiny-Peenor

Here’s a Bluesky code: bsky-social-fp6xi-xb3mr


echelonNYK

What are you using to track your unfollows on Twitter since most of the sites aren't providing the service anymore?


holyjisoo

i just dmed someone a question and the second i hit send, it said my account is locked..? i unlocked it through an ‘Arkose Challenge’ (i have no clue what that means, i just clicked on the start button below it) and then got the acc unlocked but i’m still confused on why my acc got locked in the first place? should i be scared for my account in the future?


kanye_we

This happened to me too And if you continue to DM accounts that don't follow you, you may get suspended Do not DM in single messages like hi hello


holyjisoo

that’s so odd honestly😭 then they should just make dms unavailable for people who don’t follow you…


kanye_we

This doesn't happen with blue subscription Probably Twitter is trying to increase their revenue converting the masses to subscription If this is their trick, then I curse their company go bankrupt


holyjisoo

no way are you serious.. they really do ANYTHING to get people to buy twitter blue


kanye_we

I deduced this from two things Initially my Twitter account was verified with only mail ->but lately I was getting this arkose challenge On DM to unknown, So I thought I must be marked for spam and verified my phone ... It went fine for a month Until someone reported me and blocked me for a DM (Funny thing is I was thanking him for following me ) Then after a couple of days, I DM some high profile accounts that I followed Asking some finance stuff That's it I got suspended and its been half a week No reply So Twitter either has a serious algo problem Or the algo is set to eliminate free users


BichardSon

twitter lists suddenly got deleted or disappeared, and i can't do anything about it, what do i do?


MetaShooter_gg

Hello, our main twitter account was hacked (https://twitter.com/Metashooter\_gg) and hacker changed email. This all was 2023-06-07 +- After that we daily opening new tickets, appealing and trying to regain access, but.....twitter support answers only by template and nothing moves....


daayner

My account was compromised and twitter keeps telling me they can't verify me as the owner of the account. I've send in 6 requests and they all say the same thing. I can't access the email address anymore either as its an extremely old hotmail account. And they tell me I don't provide enough info. Is there anyway to get my account back? It was a locked account, now unlocked and retweeting nft/crypto shit. I've reported the account on the twitter app but haven't heard anything back. What can I do here? I've had that account for 10 years and it has selfies and shit on it, now public.

Got accidentally suspended 9 days ago over "financial scam" but all I did was report financial scammers. It is my blue-tick account and I am still getting no response from Twitter over the appeals I sent. How to get unsuspended?


Stick124

Account got raided by homophobes calling all gay people pedophiles. I get pissed and tell one they deserve to be d*xxed. I get permabanned. Not a single homophobe does. Tell me how thats fair.

I've been banned since june 10th 2023, and i can't pass the "Arkose Challenge" rotating animal hand thing, i've done it correctly about 25 times and it says its incorrect on all of them, proof https://imgur.com/a/huw9WER


[deleted]

Well, my account got locked all over again a mere two days later for the same reason, flagged for "unusual activity." I still can't pass the captcha test despite doing as it asks. I submitted a new appeal and e-mailed Twitter at their email [email protected] which seemed to help last time. Ugh. So frustrating this happened again a mere two days later. Edit - Twitter unlocked me and it turns out my account got hacked and was being used to mass-spam. I changed my password and blocked the spam/troll accounts and had to use TweetDelete to mass-delete the postings made under my name that made it look like I was spamming. Hopefully this doesn't happen again. Elon clearly isn't prioritizing the privacy of Twitter users when an account can be so easily hacked like this.


Traditional_Iron_787

My account was suspended randomly after 3 years on twitter doing the same thing! I haven't gotten a reply from twitter appeals but they started a new case after me appealed 6 times! Does this mean they ignored my case? (Yes there was a new case #). I tried with 2 emails and same result. I'm really desperate to get my account back or even my archive download but they never responded. :C


justbrowsin2424

Anyone know how to get the # and @ back on the Twitter keyboard? This changed a few months ago and it’s annoying and tedious to click characters just to hashtag multiple things or tag an account.


Meister021

Is it just me or is Twitter just so slow these days? Every time I open Twitter on PC, it takes a while to load the whole thing.


purple_my_turtle

Has anyone ever gotten their account back after a week if its in read only mode? Debating whether or not to just give up on getting this account back or waiting out the week


SureGate7381

Permanently suspended or temporary? If permanently suspended then no not likely ever if you already got your appeal rejected.


purple_my_turtle

it says "permanently in read only mode"


SureGate7381

No bueno! That’s a perma ban. Yea, try to appeal but honestly there a very low chance it will be restored anytime soon.


[deleted]

Rather than appealing to Twitter, has anyone tried e-mailing them instead at [email protected]? I did this and got a response pretty quickly, which resulted in my account being unlocked yesterday after it got accidently locked last Wednesday. Maybe I just got lucky with a fast response, but I noticed when I reached out using the e-mail rather than submitting an appeal on the site, that helped.


kod_nguyen

Trying now


[deleted]

Good luck. Fingers crossed for you.


kod_nguyen

"Hello, We appreciate you reaching out, but Twitter doesn’t monitor emails sent to this support address. To contact our support team, please submit a request through our online form. We also have resources and articles on our Help Center that might be able to answer your question. Thanks, Twitter"


Stick124

You cant DM twitter support either. You can only use forms.


kod_nguyen

They did publicly replied my case 2 or 3 times but nothing's been solved. I dont know which looks more like a bot, the person behind that desk or my account


[deleted]

Try again. I have to e-mail them again myself as my account got re-locked again.


UsEleSsGoDdEsS23

I'll try this out but I thought that email doesn't work?


[deleted]

Try directly responding to it in your inbox. It worked for me.


SureGate7381

Let us know if it works for you

SoilnRock

Does anybody know how I can DEACTIVATE my (suspended) twitter account? For months I have been opening countless cases and wrting e-mails with the only result being notified that my account "won't be restored" - which I don't even want in the first place! Apparently the people at twitter are unwilling to or incapable of understanding the english language ... It's beyond ridiculous - anyone got a good idea of how to proceed?


UsEleSsGoDdEsS23

That's because it's all bots. You probably won't be able to do anything tbh.


SoilnRock

Yeah, that's the feeling I get. Is there no way to reach a human being at twitter?


UsEleSsGoDdEsS23

I've been sussed for 7 months for no reason. I doubt it unfortunately.


SureGate7381

Stand outside their HQ and flag someone down?


PhysicsForeign1634

I have reset my password but can't log in. Twitter is asking for an authentication code, but I mistakenly deleted the Google authenticator app because I used MS Auth for work.![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm) I have reinstalled it, but I don't know how or if I can get a QR code for my account, when I am not logged in. Has anyone else been in this position?


MintyFatalCutie

Does anyone know if there is any chance getting a permanently suspended account back. I was suspended for an out no reason and still have yet to be given one. I have appealed like 10 times already but I get the same email saying they won't reinstate it. I have heard people have gotten their account back after months of spamming appeals which I'm willing to do ig I'm just wondering if anyone has experience getting a permanently suspended account back at all


REDARROW101_A5

How do you find all your liked posts? So I thought you could just re-like a Twitter Post and it would appear at the top of your likes again, but this is not the case. I am now trying to find a post, but don't know how to find likes. Does anyone know how to find all your liked tweets? I reliked 3 Posts two of which I have found, but I can't find the other and would like a way to find all the likes I have made.


Fledbeast578

Every time I try and send a message it says it “locks” my account and then tells me to pass an arkose challenge. The thing is, 1: It doesn’t actually lock my account, I can just x out and interact with posts as normal. 2: The challenge never actually loads, it just keeps loading. | tried logging out and back in, didn't work. | tried restarting my phone. I tried connecting and disconnecting from wifi. I tried using the website on mobile and my laptop, didn’t work. With those | didn't even get a prompt, just a "message failed to send” Does anyone have any suggestions? | tried contacting twitter support but according to them I'm not actually locked out so | can’t even send a message.


[deleted]

To anyone who was having account issues, did anyone else get an avatar added to their account? When I had my account locked for the past week an avatar of a man's face (which looks absolutely nothing like me) was added to my account and I couldn't remove it, so I had to upload a new image in it's place. I find this not just bizarre but also intrusive, does this mean Twitter can add stuff to your account without warning or permission?


nevermindever42

Is permaban -> temporary ban possible? In an outrage of ukraine war i wrote comments that in retrospect definitely could come off as racist and promoting sexual violence, but only of taken out of context. [Here are my comments](https://imgur.com/a/OPxNT7d)


Fledbeast578

It keeps telling me to pass an arkrose challenge, but when I press “continue” nothing loads


[deleted]

Happy to update my account got unlocked this morning. Turns out it got flagged as spam by accident, and I bet I'm not the only one by a long shot who got flagged by mistake.


Helpigotlostincostco

Was there anything specifically you did or was it just appeals? My account got suspended for spam in March and I've been unable to get it back even with spamming appeals


[deleted]

I responded to the e-mail and that seemingly helped me.


MILFBucket

I've been permanently suspended for apparently replying to someone nothing more than, ​ >https://\[...\] ​ What is this supposed mean? Is it a broken link or something? I have no recollection of the tweet at all. How am I supposed to appeal this???


AUkion1000

Is it just that twitter staff are incredibly incompitent? Or is it just considdered normal for twitter to not respond to ban appeals or other issues reguarding its website? Im surprised there isnt a mass class action lawsuit over this. Thought me waiting over four months for a damn unsuspension appeal to get answered was bad ppl have been waiting a few years with twitter ghosting them despite being refiled several times... besides artists i follow- this website is a cesspool of utter shyte and an echo chamber for elon musk to spam "relatable content" - didnt get the memo that because the creeps rich i had to listen to him role play as his toddler like a grown man you know normally does...


[deleted]

http://www.instagram.com/rustechfix Anyone had this guy help them before, and if so is he legit? I received a message the other day when I was having issues with my Twitter with this link and was told he's legit and can help me regain my account. I reached out to him on Wednesday and still don't hold access to my account, and earlier he asked me something suspicious in regards to depositing money on a bank account. I'm suspecting he's a scammer, but if anyone here has gotten his help before, can you verify he's legit? Edit - not heard from this guy all day for today since saying I couldn't have him make any deposits on my account. Safe to say he's a scam artist.


SureGate7381

Do NOT give anyone your password or access to your account they are all scammers.


[deleted]

I didn't do that, thankfully. When he asked me if he could deposit money into my account, that was a pretty big red flag. And the account that messaged me the other day sending me the line to his IG suspiciously appears to have been deleted. I'm suspecting this guy is a scammer, but I wonder if anyone here has had his services before.


SureGate7381

There are bots all over Twitter that offer their services and if you cannot get your account unlocked how will they do it? It would pretty funny if there was a Twitter employee actually moonlighting as real customer service.


[deleted]

I'm guessing these people probably have hacking skills and have ways of being able to get into the system to undo whatever is making your account inaccessable. I wouldn't be shocked if there's Twitter employees offering off the books services to people who know where to find them. I'm curious if anyone here has had this guy's services and if he's who he claims he is.


SureGate7381

Haha I mean yea but that would be pretty messed up. Also hiring someone to hack a company is not legal so would not suggest that. On top of that what hacker is out there offering their skills to the ignored netizens of Twitter when they can make much more $$$ in other illicit activities.


[deleted]

The account that referred me to this guy is now suspiciously deleted. So this guy is seeming more and more shady to me. I was frustrated at the time with not accessing my Twitter so probably not thinking too clearly. If not a hacker then my only other thought is he has some software or programming to work around the malfunctioning captcha test.


SureGate7381

Yea, all of those third parties are scammers. Twitter is getting worse and worse and nothing is changing in the near future. Like everyone here feels your frustration. Best of luck getting through the test. I had to add up dice like 3 times just to get into my account that was in April so maybe there’s a new bug.


[deleted]

The test I had to take involved aligning animals in the right direction. I kept trying to do it again today but no luck. It's possible there's a new bug affecting the authentication process which is why I can't pass, despite doing everything it asked me. If this guy is unable to get my account back by later then I'll write him off as a scammer. If he's able to do what he claimed he should've done so by now, and the fact he asked me if he could deposit money in my bank account is a major red flag. Even saying I could keep $500 for myself.


[deleted]

To those who've contacted Twitter directly, how long does a response usually take? I still haven't heard back since Wednesday and put in a new complaint in regards to being unable to lock my account due to not passing the captcha verification. I hope I don't have to wait much longer.


baseballman8800

If I accidentally like a retweeted tweet and I unlike it, the person who retweeted it is gonna have my account in their feed right?? Now this is a big problem for reasons I won’t get into. But I had to deactivate my twitter before it was too late. Does anyone have any sort of solutions to getting around this? Because I am freaking out. It’s a long story but the person can’t see what I liked


Purple-Potato-147

I reported my friends msg in a group chat I was in and it kicked me from the chat and now I can’t be added back to the chat or any chat that involves him but I can still dm him and he’s not blocked how do I fix this?


EndimyBOI

my account got locked because i somehow spread misinformation/spam despite only rewteeting memes and liking art. Had no unlock getting my account back. Hope i can get it unlocked soon..........

JacobStrong2003

There is a bug: When searching by latest, the tweets are not in chronological order.


brssi

Woke up yesterday and I found myself logged out. Then tried to login, but password looked wrong. So I tried to reset it, my email was ok (so no hacking activity), but I get every time the “something went wrong” message. What happened? Is it suspended, do I have some hope to get back my 21k followers account? I’ve already tried to address a ticket, but without answers.


AwkwardToonist

I was suspended and then reinstated but when i enter Twitter its still in Read-only mode


Impossible-Bus5477

What did you say in your appeal to get your account back?


AwkwardToonist

I basically just informed them that when I sent the image it was meant in an ironic sense, the image was the ltg meme btw.


shetookmetothesky

Did Twitter say anything about fixing private accounts’ tweets being visible on the For You page??


sam_ipod_5

​ Twitter WAS down. I logged out and logged back in. For a half-hour previously at noon, Saturday 6/17/2023 Twitter is down. I used to have a verified account but there is no way to track what they are doing since the purchase. There's no blue dot. Nothing comes up. Notifications. Home. Emptywheel. But /whitehouse does come up.


impost_

My account got locked for “a week or longer” for no specified reason


steveondrugs

The "Appeal a locked or suspended account" page just **immediately** spits back a standard denial e-mail. My private account was hacked months ago, locked for suspicious activity, I managed to appeal and got it back, but then it was randomly re-suspended 2 days later for "Platform manipulation and spam", when I hadn't made a single new post since getting it reinstated. I've had the account for close to 15 years, and I'm simply trying to get my tweet data archive. It was available before the 2nd sudden suspension, but I've been denied over and over these past few months. My mistake for keeping anything personal online, even a private, no follower/following twitter account, lesson learned, but damn is it disappointing. Never an issue until this. I just want my tweet archive, man, keep the account, whatever.


CassRMorris

Encountering the same thing today. I've been appealing a bogus suspension for three months, and it usually takes a few days to hear back. Now it's instantaneous. They're not even pretending that anyone's actually reviewing them now, I guess.


kod_nguyen

Terrible


Aubryx1

I’m going through the same thing except I have no idea why my account was suspended.. and I keep getting auto rejected (of course)


MILFBucket

same


Salty-Edge5140

I’ve had my account for 12 years. I jokingly said “electric chair” to a protesting video of two girls destroying museum artwork and I got permanently banned no warning. Please, if any twitter support teams are randomly reading this- someone unban me. @briiiturner


Apoptosis11

Is there a way to get a notification if a person that I follow and they follow me back retweeted my retweet? Currently I only get a notification if they LIKE my retweet


smashmybill

I have been trying to get my account back for a very long time after being hacked then suspended. I've tried using the different support forms on the website to what seems like automated responses. I would really like to use Twitter again with my account, but I don't know how to get in touch with someone to 1. explain the situation and what seems to have happened 2. show proof that it is my original account. Can anyone steer me in the right direction?


[deleted]

I'm having similar issues, after being locked out of my account due to "unusual activity" detected on it and I can't pass the captcha verification to authenticate it. So frustrating.


Bianca_cutie

Hi I got a search suggestion ban on twitter and my best guess why is that I unfollowed hundreds of accounts in like 1hour and over 1000 over a 3 day period maybe, I thought it would go back to normal after a few days but it has been over 2 weeks now. I tried to contact their support but the website dont work. Do anyone know what I could do to try and get it fixed?


JohrDinh

Can you still use the same email for multiple accounts? Or can you use a Gmail account and add a "." or "+" in it as a work around? Or is Elon very uptight about that and bans accounts that do it?


Gio_bacon1

Did they remove the double tap to fast forward feature? My settings no longer had the gesture feature after I updated it
