  • Why would I have been blocked by Nutz Audio from using their Twitter site?

    They have posted the following today:

    Quick update to all who play #competitions with us.We have today removed & blocked all entrants using BOTS/MULTI accounts 2 ensure fairness

    Finally got rid of the spam accounts (almost) ! twitteraudit.com/NutzAudio #twitteraudit 97% real genuine followers


    took 8 hours to clear out 5432 bots and duplicate comp accounts, but worth it, competitions have to be fair to all who enter


    You can see them when u use linux monitor software and when they criss cross into other comps, we got them now


    we have autoblock on permanent now for spam accounts, the odd one may get through but we can spot that and manually block


    If u have been blocked today in error during our account clear up contact @nutzaudiodg and we will unblock if its a genuine acct ! Thanks

  • You can use twitteraudit.com on your own account too and it will tell you how "real" your own account is perceived to be (via a feature that looks a bit like a speedometer) - could possibly give an indication as to how Nutz have perceived you since that's the website they've used.

    I got blocked - I ran twitteraudit.com and got a score of 89% genuine and a "thumbs up" !!
    Interested to find out the highest score being blocked

    I think the thumbs up and % score is actually just the percentage of your followers that are perceived as "real", whereas if you click on the view (little bar/line graph) icon you get more details/graphs and one of them is shaped like a speedometer with a red/orange/green sections with a grey indicator pointing to how real or fake they think you are. How this is worked out I'm not sure!

    I ran it and clicked on the report and it shows me as being half way in the green "real" section. Hardly spam am I?! :rotfl:

    Haha perhaps the whole thing is just made up! No idea how they "calculate" their results! Have you been blocked?
