Banned from Twitter for Tweeting TOO Much?

    Just yesterday, I visit my Twitter page and found out all my Tweets was pretty much empty looking..

    Most of my tweet retrieves comes from posting/updating from Facebook Fanpage, I post 3-6 times a day on FBpage so Twitter receives exactly that..

    Also, Twitter wouldn't even let me access my account settings.. and I'm very curious if any of you encountered the same problems I'm having..

    3 to 6 times a day does not sound like too much.
    But twitter will definitely suspend an account that looks too spammy.

    Indications of tweet spam might include
    no personal tweets
    all the tweets contain url's
    the exact tweets as other accounts
    all tweet are automatically generated
    tweets are made precisely at the same time day after day
    all tweets are from the same third party source

    The lesson to be learned is 'mix it up' with automatic tweets, time delays, multiple sources, plain tweets and anything else that makes it appear like a real human is behind it

    spammy account activity and collaboration with other social network is a pitfall for getting banned.

    I think tiwtter must do that to protect their reputation, now a days twitter is spammy as hell. less than 10 twitter submissions per day doesn't look spammy btw.

    Are you using any software to post your tweets beside the one you mentioned. I love twitter and facebook so I use tumblr so what ever i post on tumblr will also be available in facebook and twitter. I am posting around 8-12 times per day and not having any issues.

    Try to come in contact with Twitter and ask them about your problem. The only thing had happened to me is to wait some time before I can tweet again, because I made many posts in an hour, but I never get banned.

    Truth. Gets a little irritating at times because I don't need to know everything you do. For a while I had posts from the forum being put on Twitter and that was easily 50+ a day and had no problems.

    If you do more than 30 twits in a day including URL then it could be a reason to get spam by twitter...For more information you can twitter Rules & Regulation....

    Try posting via web browser, rather than using your current app - that might solve the problem.

    Strange they banned you. Only explanation to me would be illegal content or something because i've seen accounts that just crawl the web and place more than hundreds of tweets a day.

    I think its ridiculous that things like "mix up personal tweets with links and retweets" have to be said. Why the heck are you on twitter if you're not actually being a real person there? Nobody will listen to a spam twitter account, only other spam accounts. And if all you're doing is tweeting links, or auto-tweets, then face it, you ARE a spam account.

    lol !!!!! are you serious, banned in twitter ? You must be really spamming the site out of your limit, man.......
    I tweet and re-tweet atleast 50-60 tweets in 24 hours and I have never been banned. This is the first time I am hearing that Twitter has banned some one... lol !!!!!!

    You might be unknowingly promoting some site which twitter doesnot like.... thatz the only reason I can think of your condition :D
