Anyone been banned by a company on twitter?

Hi Ive just entered a blog comp with a twitter link - when I clicked follow on it it said that I had been blocked by them. Ive never done anything wrong as far as I know and feel quite upset about it. (I am easily upset!) Have sent them a message on twitter about it but whether they reply I dont know if they will reply. :( Has this happened to anyone? Thanks xoxo

  • Which company was it? Someone was sent a negative (sounding) tweet by a company re comping.

    It's a bit silly of them really though, creates bad publicity for them and puts people off using them. I guess I can see if someone does nothing but RT comps they may not like those people to win but probably quite a few compers will end up using companies they have won from, I know I have given in when I've won something and really liked it and most people probably don't enter unless they like what is on offer.

    Find it quite rude of a company to do that!

    I believe in naming and shaming in those situations...

    had the same happen to me. with @LMDvintage needless to say i wouldn't but anything from them ever. Why have a competition then ban people from entering. Banned from viewing the comments on the tweet i retweeted and banned from following too.

    I've just been blocked from following by the Worsley Dress Agency. Weird, I've never done anything to them!
