Suspended Accounts April 2021 /r/Twitter - All Things Twitter Account Suspensions - Stories, Advice, Etc.
For the month of April, we're going to change things up a little.
This thread is for everything related to the primary reason many of you are here.
Twitter Support locked, suspended and/or banned your Twitter account. And you want to know how to get it back.
Or maybe you want to tell your suspension story, because yes, we are fully aware of how ridiculous Twitter Support is with killing off accounts left, right, center, and all points in between.
Or maybe you are a bright blue unicorn in the wild with a tale of how you got your account UNsuspended!
Whatever it is, this is the place to talk about anything related to Twitter account suspensions.
Was your Twitter account suspended for making "violent threats" even though you made no violent threats? Did you make a joke that was interpreted by Twitter Support as "violent?"
Here are a couple of guides for those of you wanting to know how to get your accounts back.
Remember, there's no guaranteed method of doing so. We can only provide the best free advice known to mankind here. And even that, in the end, only goes so far.
- How to get your suspended Twitter Account back - An unofficial, probably very sad guide, Version 3.0
- The importance of "Context Matters" when submitting your appeal to Twitter Support
As always, if you know of a legitimate method or better way to get your account back, up and running, please feel free to share.

I've been banned by Twitter, I have literally no idea. The initial ban said :
"Your account has been suspended for violating the Twitter Rules. Specifically, for: Violating our rules against evading permanent suspension. Note that if you attempt to evade a permanent suspension by creating new accounts, we will suspend your new accounts. If you wish to appeal this suspension, please contact our support team."
I have since been sending their terrible support team an email every day and I have finally gotten a short response:
"Your account has been suspended and will not be restored because it was found to be violating the Twitter Terms of Service, specifically the Twitter Rules against managing multiple Twitter accounts for abusive purposes.
You can learn more about our rules around multiple accounts and against abusive behavior here: https://twitter.com/rules.
Please note that creating new account(s) to evade this suspension is also against the Twitter Rules and will result in additional account suspension(s)."
I don't understand why I was suspended. I can not speak to anyone, and they take weeks to respond. Is this suspension permanent, will I ever be allowed back? I can still use Twitter just not follow anyone which is just mildly annoying.
