Today's article mainly tells you what to do if your Twitter account is blocked? And how to avoid account blocking
I suggest you save and forward this post, because Twitter does occasionally block accounts for unknown reasons, so please keep it in case of emergency, whether you are a KOL or an individual.
Temporary restriction due to abnormal login or unverified identity
This method is suitable for minor violations or security concerns. The operation must be completed within the restriction period.
Solution:
1. Try to log in to the blocked account using your username and password
2. If the system prompts you to verify your identity, enter the email address or phone number associated with your account
3. Check your email or SMS, get the verification code and enter it to complete the verification
4. Follow the prompts to update your password or confirm your account security settings (such as enabling two-factor authentication)
5. After logging in, check whether the account has resumed normal functions. If there are still restrictions, wait 12 hours to 7 days and the restrictions will usually be lifted automatically.
The account was temporarily banned for minor violations (such as repeated posting or excessive interaction)
Avoid suspicious actions during the restriction period (such as using a VPN to bypass), which may lead to a permanent ban
This problem often causes mutual follow-ups or tweets similar to the same project. Pay attention to this (such as Yaps).
Solution:
1. Log in to your account, check the ban notification, and confirm the restriction type (such as read-only mode or function restriction)
2. If you are prompted to wait for a period of time (usually 12 hours to 7 days), wait patiently and avoid trying to create a new account during this period.
3. After logging in, check and delete content that may violate regulations (such as repeated tweets, sensitive information)
4. Adjust account behavior according to the notification requirements (such as reducing the frequency of following/unfollowing)
5. After the restriction period ends, try to use the account again
The account is permanently banned due to policy (such as misjudged as a spam account)
Ensure that the information is accurate and avoid submitting invalid appeals repeatedly. The success of the appeal depends on the review decision of X.
This is probably the reason why a large-scale incident happened last night. Never criticize Musk or President Trump on Twitter.
Always respect and love these two bosses Musk and President Trump
For example, I personally am not tired of all the small bugs on Twitter. I have wanted to talk about this on Twitter many times, but I finally gave up because I might get banned if they displeased me.
Solution:
1. Visit X’s Help Center (https://help.x.com/forms) and find the “Appeal Account Ban or Lock” option
2. Log in to your account or use the link in the ban notification to fill out the appeal form
3. When describing the issue, clearly state that you believe the ban was wrong, provide relevant evidence (e.g. screenshots, timestamps), and be polite
4. After submission, check your registered email and wait for a response from the X support team (it may take several days)
5. If the first appeal is rejected, you can submit it again within a reasonable time. Some users have successfully restored their accounts through multiple appeals.
Legal issues or financial disputes
This is basically useless to ordinary people, but it is written for possible B-side projects.
This method is more expensive and suitable for high-value accounts, and its success rate depends on X's willingness to cooperate and the legal environment.
Complaints Process:
1. Consult a professional lawyer and prepare evidence of account usage records and reasons for the ban. The lawyer will send a formal letter to X's legal department stating that the ban may be illegal or affect rights and interests.
2. Pay the relevant legal fees (about several hundred dollars) and wait for X to respond
3. If successful, X may recover the account; if unsuccessful, consider giving up and creating a new account
How to avoid being blocked, mainly for Web3
Never post political, violent, hate speech, pornographic content or false information, especially political and opposing speech involving Mr. Ma and the United States
I think this is the problem this time.
Do not send repetitive tweets, unsolicited direct messages, or excessive use of automated tools (such as bots)
At present, many people like to use third-party access robots. It is said that excessive API may also lead to account suspension.
Avoid following, unfollowing, or liking a large number of posts in a short period of time, as Twitter may view this as abnormal behavior.
It is recommended that daily interactions be kept within a reasonable range (e.g., following no more than 50-100 people)
You should also pay more attention to the KOLs who have been frantically following each other in the past few days.
Avoid using multiple accounts: Do not operate multiple linked accounts at the same time or log in to the same account through different IP addresses
Complete identity verification: mobile phone, email, Google two-step verification, bind everything that can be bound, do more real-person interactions on a daily basis, and avoid batch and robot behaviors
Additional suggestions
Everyone, remember to back up your data and regularly back up your tweets and media files through X's "Download Your Data" feature to prevent your account from being accidentally blocked.
At the end of the article:
I like Tesla, I drive a Tesla, I buy Tesla stock, and I use Starlink traffic.
I like Musk. His contribution to the advancement of electric vehicles, global information communication, and brain-computer interconnection are truly tremendous advances in human civilization.
