Twitter account suspended

nick — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 07:48:03 +0000

23:31 [nick] man nice
23:31 [nick] my twitter account has been suspended
23:31 [nighty-] lol wtf
23:31 [nighty-] why?
23:31 [Durz|lnx] oh noes
23:31 [nick] no idea
23:31 [Durz|lnx] gonna be climbing the walls within a couple of days
23:31 [Durz|lnx] trainspotting style

I’ve been a pretty keen user of Twitter for about 18 months now, but that all stopped last night thanks to my account being suspended due to ‘suspicious activity’:

This happened while I was using the service as per usual; I noticed an authentication failure message from my Twitter client, checked on the site, and saw the above. There isn’t any immediate or obvious reason for this, but according to the relevant section from the Twitter help site, it was one (or more!) of these things:

Terms of Service Violations
Technical Abuse
Spam Investigation

Given that I was using the service via a pretty popular client, doing normal shit such as replying to people, I can’t see how it’s any of the first two. But ah, spam investigation – that rings a very small bell. The only thing I can think of there is that I mentioned Cialis and Viagra when commenting on a spam email I’d received for Tamiflu. But surely Twitter’s spam filtering isn’t so overly zealous to suspend an account for the mere mention of these words, regardless of context?

I logged a ticket in appeal – which was immediately set to resolved, what the fuck – reopened said ticket, and am now awaiting some kind of update. I’m not going to hold my breath though, because apparently “accounts may be suspended for a minimum of 30 days for research.”

All this comes two days before I’m due to jet off to sunnier climes for a couple of weeks, which is a shame as normally Twitter is what I’d used to spam update my friends with what I’ve been up to. The wonders of the modern web eh? I’m almost tempted to do a Fletch and fuck social networking off, although ironically he still uses Twitter. Maybe I’ll update this thing more often instead?! Fancy that!

Update: This has been fixed! I had literally no communication from Twitter themselves – no update on the support website, no emails, nada. Then I woke up Friday morning with an email in my Inbox saying I had a new follower, so I checked my account and it had been reinstated. The new follower was, of course, a spam account.

Recurring theme

nick — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 15:43:49 +0000

Nothing quite like a healthy discussion to help pass the time.

14:27 christ
14:27 heather mills got 24.3 million
14:27 sick :|
14:28 24.3 mil for just being associated with someone famous
14:28 yeah
14:28 not a bad deal really is it
14:28 i’d bum paul mccartney for 24.3 million tbh
14:28 no danger
14:28 aye, same
14:28 I wonder if McCartney is pissed at that
14:28 id bum him for 2.4mil
14:28 with a smile on my face
14:28 2.43m!

14:33 (I would)
14:33 lol
14:34 jesus :|
14:34 I wouldnt feel much pride, if I’m honest
14:34 bit much
14:34 but 2.4…man
14:34 its a nice payday

14:35 2.4 million goes a long way to massaging that pride back up to scratch though tbh
14:35 you can buy alot of whores for that!
14:35 what about £234k paul? £23.4k? :/
4:36 what did she win again? 24.3 mil?
14:36 so £243k, £24.3k etc
14:36 silly bitch
14:36 i dunno :/
14:36 24k no way :/
14:36 its a nice house :/
14:36 2.4k :/
14:36 lol
14:36 i bet dan would do it for 2.4k

14:37 sick
14:37 cmon exor???? 24.3k???
14:37 grim
14:37 243k is as low as i would consider
14:37 24k to live with the fact that you bummed a guy
14:37 lol
14:37 not enough :/
14:37 nah
14:37 not a chance
14:38 actually
14:38 lol
14:38 second thoughts
14:38 I’ve just gone through it in my head
14:38 lool
14:38 I am not convinced I could do it for 2.4m
14:38 pauls itemised the bill
14:38 send paul an invoice afterwards
14:38 in all seriousness :/

14:38 set up for life
14:38 I would like to think I could
14:38 2.4m easy

14:38 it’s pretty sick swallowing cum I bet :/
14:38 lol

14:38 obviously it’s ace for them
14:39 what are we talking about here? bumming or bj ? :|
14:39 lool
14:39 bj:/
14:39 paul has switched it
14:39 man
14:39 price of a bj plus swallowing goes up
14:39 quite a bit imo
14:39 lol
14:39 still do it for 1mill+ imo
14:39 1.005 huh nick?
14:40 if nothing else you’ve got a story to tell the kids
14:40 lol :(
14:40 the day grandad bummed macca :/

Some time later…

15:25 Heather Mills says she is “very pleased” after she is awarded ?24.3m in her divorce
battle with Sir Paul McCartney.
15:30 I’d be very pleased with a 24.3M? bonus
15:31 tbh, I’d fuck paul mccartney for that
15:31 oh god
