My account has been permanently suspended
typedrat opened this issue · comments
I can't think of anything else that I could have done to violate the "X" Rules other than using this browser extension, and I have been permanently suspended from Twitter without any explanation. If I appeal, I immediately get a rejection email within thirty seconds.
I'd be careful using this.
Want to comment that my appeals have gone through but haven't been accepted yet, so I'm not sure. Someone else was able to get their account back. I wonder if too many bots are getting banned for similar reasons.
how'd you even manage to get in an appeal at all?? no matter how many i send, or how much i change the report text, i always just get a denial within only like 5 seconds
I got the same problem. Did anyone solve this?
This happened to me too. Really fucking pissed at this.
All I see is "Unlock more posts by subscribing"
I'm starting to think they're cracking down on extensions that changes the look of the site or how you use it.
And honestly i hate it.

That's exactly my experience, but that is still submitting an appeal.

I don't think they're doing that specifically. OldTwitter is basically a new client, so I would somewhat understand why after the API changes. There is a reason you cannot use the extension signed out
How would they even know you're using an extension... I don't they would care, otherwise they'd block the api altogether.
I just got suspended again, I'm awaiting my appeal.
I also experienced the same issue (permanent account suspension) while using the OldTwitterLayout a few days ago. I have never used OldTweetDeck, which allows you to use paid features for free, as I judged it to be too risky. Therefore, I cannot deny the possibility that users of OldTwitterLayout are being detected by Twitter staff in some way. Considering that this add-on has been removed from the Firefox add-on page not once, but twice, it is also possible that “someone” has raised an objection to Mozilla.

Firefox removal is completely unrelated. Also they don't specifically target OldTwitter, it's targetting all unsigned requests to Twitter API, which only happen if your browser failed to get their generator script for some reason (main causes are: old browser, social network tracker blockers settings in browsers and extensions to block them)
Okay, but what am i supposed to do then? Happened to me almost a week ago, finally was pointed to this issue, appeals, as it was said before, do nothing. What is there to do? Don't think creating a new account will help because my second account was banned in minutes after i switched to it.
My account I used since 2017 also got suspended, no reason given, appeal automatically denied after < 20 sec. Could be nothing, but there's a non-zero chance it's related. I've also had "unusual activity" a few times out of the blue on PC and on PC only so maybe it triggers some idiotic useless spam check? I had "unusual activity" on my 2nd account I'm now using as well... Just disabled the extension to be safe(r)

lol nevermind, my account just got locked, and I had to solve an annoying captcha to unlock it, then it threatened to have my account suspended if it happened again. Removing this extension, I just can't risk losing my account from 2011 altogether. Thanks for the hard work, dev, but this is farewell.
