    I today found my Twitter account having all followers and following deleted and stats for both of them set to 0 by twitter. This is something which Facebook use to do that they reset Friends to zero if we ad friends at very fast pace but Twitter is doing same what Facebook is doing.
    Ichecked my other twitter accounts and on all of them the followers and following are deleted to 0.


    anyone else having same problem with Twitter?

    Never heard of this. Had you been using Twitter unusually? i.e. to spam?

    It's becouse twitter may chatch you that you are using multiply account and you bit the twitter rule. You should not try to add too many friend in very short time

    Yes, it is possible that twitter found unusual activity from your end since you were following users at a generous pace. This should be the reason.

    I haven't encountered this one, maybe it's something to do with Twitter rules that's why there's an unusual activities in your account.

    I've never had a problem with Twitter like this, my suggestion is to stop spamming Twitter and they'll leave your account alone :)
    That is.. if you're spamming Twitter..

    The only time I've ever heard of anything like that for either Twitter or Facebook is in the case of blatant and excessive spamming.

    They announced almost a year ago that if you were adding friends at an exponentially retarded rate that they would remove you from the network or ban you of some sorts. Basically, I'm glad they want to keep spammers from spamming, it's a good thing unless you are trying to exploit the system.
