    Last few days when I login into my Twitter accounts and it said that my account being terminated, any idea what is happening to my account and how can I check what is the actual problem? Please help me if you know how to proceed further. Thanks

    Contact them and ask them about termination of your account.

    DON.

    it doesn't give you any message or clue as to why it's been terminated?

    They terminate most of the accounts for Spamming.
    Or sometime if someone uses a fake identity.

    Some reasons for your a/c termination might be :

    1.) Spamming
    2.)Following/unfollowing people very fast (like 800-1000 per day ! )
    3.)I'm not sure if they terminate multiple a/c's on same IP too

    Still, it's better to contact them ...

    ^ I agree with sachdeva.

    Those are most probably the reasons that your account got terminated. Were you following people too quickly (like more than 100 a day)?

    Sometimes it is also a false message, as I too got that message once but when I refreshed it after 10 mins it was up again.

    They will give you the answer & they will reply if you just contact their support.
    Usually, they are very pleasant (so long as you've not been taking the mickey with hundreds of spamming accounts!) and it's a quick slap on the wrist & reinstatement of your account if you promise to desist the offending behaviour.
    They are reasonable but they are also a corporation & subject to legal issues so they have to protect themselves & will suspend accounts for suspected copyrighting/trademark issues &, hate/homophobic tweets, Spam or anything that can get them into trouble.

    Twitter doesn´t terminate accounts for using the same IP on several accounts, if I´m not misstaken I think you were even allowed to have 10 accounts on one IP, but as I have just one account it doesn´t really bothers me.

    And yeah... probably your account was terminated for unusal activities (spaming/massfollow, etc.), which means you don´t have a chance to get it back, unless you are really clever and come up with an good excuse.
