Never drink and tweet

June 15, 2013 @ 11:18 am

It is once in a lifetime, but everyone is entitled to that moment. I did something silly last night that I now regret. I've had too much of wine and then starting posting stuff on Twitter. No wonder I got suspended after a while and ended up with this page: https://support.twitter.com/forms/general?subtopic=suspended

I decided to pause and have a fresh look on it in the morning so now have jotted the following letter I am ready to post it to Twitter:

Dear Customer Manager,

Please forgive me my yesterday hyperactivity. What actually happened I had a bit of too much wine and was thinking I should inform people about something cool.

In fact, I believe, something triggered the system after my second or third dozen of posts and I got suspended.

Really, really sorry about it. I am using my Twitter for years. Many of accounts are linked to it.

I am terribly sorry and promise to behave well in the future and never to drink and tweet.

I count on your understanding and passion.

Thank you.

Hello,

We understand that you’re contesting an account suspension. Please be sure to read this entire email; you will need to take further action in order to reopen your ticket and trigger a review of your account.

Twitter suspends accounts for a variety of reasons:

• If your account was suspended for aggressive following behavior, you should have received an email notification to the address associated with your Twitter account. You’ll need to confirm that you’ve removed all prohibited following automation from your account, and will stop any manual aggressive following behavior. To expedite your appeal process, please review our Best Practices page if you haven’t already, and then reply to this ticket with a confirmation that you understand our policies and will not engage in any prohibited following behavior.

• Please take a minute to review the Twitter Rules.

• If you received an email from admin@twitter.com saying ‘you’re being suspended’ or that we’re going delete your account, you’re safe; the email is fake. More information here https://support.twitter.com/articles/204820-safety-fake-twitter-emails

• While we strive to avoid mistakes, it’s also possible that your account was suspended in error. If after reviewing the Rules, you have no idea why your account was suspended, just reply to this email indicating as much, and we’ll take another look at your case. Our apologies if the error turns out to be ours.

Thanks,

Twitter Support

and then:
