After what seemed like eternity, I finally received an email from Twitter about my suspended account.
The email read:
“It looks like your account got caught in a spam cloud. You’re all clear, but this might be a good time to review http://twitter.com/rules anyhow. I’ve restored your account; sorry for the inconvenience.”
And so I’m back on Twitter, to my relief. (Just after I created a new Twitter account this morning. It figures!)
If you ever find your Twitter account suspended, don’t waste time in filing a Support Request (please click here). After you do that, you should receive an email from Twitter Support giving you the ticket number. Make sure you reply to this email because by doing so, the ticket will be reopened and your ticket will be placed in queue for support. If you do not reply, your case will be closed.
There are lots of horror stories on the internet about how long Twitter takes to get back to people contesting the suspension of their accounts. So I guess I should consider myself lucky for them to reply to me AND restore my account within 20 hours of my filing the support ticket.
Anyhow, this suspension-of-account-business got me all stressed up so I’ll still be needing a massive dose of chocolate to purge all the stress out of my system. Looks like I’ll be making molten lava chocolate cakes tonight ;)
Sweets are indeed stressbusters! Welcome back to Twitter! ;)
Oooohh…that sounds really yummy. I’m actually eating dark chocolate now and you still got me craving. :D
Thanks for the tip. I’ll keep that in mind while hoping I will never have to go through it. Glad to see your Twitter problem solved relatively fast.
Tweet galore!
I am soo glad you are back in twitterrrrr!!! Tweet, tweeeet! :)
I signed up to Twitter a couple of months back but deleted the account after a few days…I was just lost. I couldn’t find my way around, LOL!
Glad you’re account’s back =)
You’re the third person I know of who had weird Twitter-account ongoings. I haven’t been hit, but thanks for the tip, and no thanks to suggesting chocolate because after reading about your molten lava cakes I HAD to have a chocolate croissant from the Belgian cafe close to my office. All your fault. Haha. ;) Hi Mimi!
Good that your account is back. It seemed life and death to you.:-) :-)
WitsAndNuts, Jayme, Lola: Thanks! =)
Josiet: I was lost my first few days, too. But then I got lucky enough to follow the right ppl and it all started to make sense.
J: I did it again, didn’t I? The first time was when I wrote about those Omani kebabs :D
Avril: Not exactly life and death. But Twitter is like having the news that you want to read brought to you, some of them in real time. It’s also like using StumbleUpon; only you get short descriptions of the sites so you can decide whether to click on those links or not. It’s also a never-ending discussion of your interests: be it food, travel, photography, web design.
