My Twitter account has been suspended & I get no response at all!

    11 days ago, my Twitter account was suspended for minimum (?) 1 week (that's what the message said).

    For as far as I know, it’s not even my own fault.

    There seems to have been a problem with an external site, who has sent out loads of spam messages (apparently by accident,… or so they say). My account was flooded with these messages, and I assume that’s why twitter suspended my account.

    I tried to get a clear answer from Twitter, but so far, I have only received an automated reply telling me to report spam messages by DM to @spam (that’s a little hard when your account has been suspended, no?!).

    In their initial message they say:

    If you feel your account was suspended in error, you may submit a ticket to request reinstatement. However, please be advised your account will not be considered for reinstatement prior to the end of the minimum suspension period stated above.​


    To be honest, this message bothers me a bit:
    whether my account was suspended for a good reason, or because of a mistake that was made, it will remain suspended for the entire period. If you ask me, this gives Twitter the power to suspend accounts as they please.

    Anyway, a request I send is closed the same day. They don't even bother to reply. The automated email I received said that if I thought my account has been suspended in error, I should reply to that same message with my questions. I did... and received no reply at all.

    :mad:

    I'm confused: I still have no idea
    • why my account was suspended in the first place
    • whether there's actually anyone taking care of customer service
    • when my account will be re-instated ( or even if it will ever be re-instated)

    I don't have a clue what to do next...
    Advice would be more than welcome :)
