I had my Twitter account suspended already! I think it was because I was following too many people too quickly. I began following about 100 people within 24 hours, mostly because I wanted to get more followers for myself. Oopsie! It's stated on the TOS this is a form of spam, which I didn't know because I failed to read the TOS until after I was suspended.
I've written to them asking to unsuspend my account, and I created a different account using hubby's e-mail in the meantime, just in case mine isn't unsuspended.
This is why it's important to read the TOS before messing around with your account!! If you're on Twitter, go read the TOS so you don't accidentally get your account suspended!
Do you always read the TOS? Did you have your Twitter account suspended for any reason?

Hi katsmeow1213,
Thanks for the heads up on this one, I did not know you could have your account suspended for getting too many followers in such a short time. I never really read the TOS of Twitter when I joined as I could never find it lol.
I know know it is under the help link on the site and I have read through it.
Thanks again for pointing this out to us all.
Got your new request and I am following you back.
I really must get back on there and be active again.
Thanks for the BR

I didn't read my TOS either. I followed a few people. I guess that would be spamming. I don't know if I like twitter. Its ok if you are just there to make money, but it is really impossible to follow that many people. If everyone posts in one day you have tons to read through. But i would like to make extra money so I guess i'll stick it out and see what comes from it.

I am only on it for the money, that's why I don't care a whole lot. It's just a way to attempt to up my traffic to certain sites, get my referral links out there, and make money with Revtwt. If I don't get my account unsuspended, I have a new one. I'm just going to add people slower this time.

I never read the ToS on any site either, it takes far too long.
Usually if a site is insanely strict, it's not a site where I'm going to do anyway.
I've never been suspended on twitter, but I hope that you can get your account back.

HI Kats; Wow! I've got an account but rarely if ever sign in on it;
That's kinda harsh of them I think to do that to you, I Hope you get it back

I rarely read the TOS and crap on all of these sites I visit...I guess it will bite
me in my big old butt one of these days...LOL!!
good luck to you hope you get it back!!

Yes, I got 3 of my accounts suspended for an unknown reason. My latest main account had 3000 followers almost and I still try to ask them why did it and I won't stop until they unsuspend it. Maybe I can say that I will go to media or write some article for newspapers if they keep having this horrible support :p
