Twitter suspension

Hi there, just wondered if any of my fellow compers have had this problem.
My partner wanted to start doing twitter comps like me and she doesnt know much about twitter so basically if i find a comp and RTs it, she goes on later and does the same.
She has a separate comping twitter account so it shouldnt affect her usual followers.
today she went onto twitter to find her account suspended and she had to go to a special page where she ad to agree to not do it again.
She was accused of agressive following and spamming.

As far as i know all she does is proper Rts of companys doing comps.
Has anyone else had the same problem?

    i think if thats all shes doing and not normal tweeting it could be classed as spamming

    I only retweet comps & rarely post my own tweets - but it may have been the amount they were doing if they had a session

    I have also heard people say about there being restrictions if you dont have many followers.

    thank you all...x
    she is now back online but we still have no idea as to why she was suspended.
    Like she just said to me, she Rts the stuff that these shops etc want us to Rt and then they complain that shes doing it.... very strange.

    It will probably happen if her account is a comping only account not a real account.

    I have to admit that I pretty much only use Twitter for comping. I do a lot of Twitter comp sharing. I do competwition once a week, lots of twitter comps from Katie's posts :T:T:T regularly and I would guess around 30 twitter shares a day from magazine dailies. I prefer to use twitter for this rather than FB as I don't want to risk annoying FB friends. I can't remember the last time I tweeted anything that wasn't comp related. Yet I've not been jailed, suspended or even moaned at from twitter yet. Probably will today, now that I've said it :D

    it does depend how many id say 30 is ok but who knows when it flags up as spamming

    People can be reported by other twitterers for Spam, maybe someone did complain?
