Has anyone else had there twitter account locked? I'm guessing it's down to all the comps I've entered.
I had to accept a call to allow me enter in a pin to unlock my account. But I may be charged!!

I was locked out of my Twitter account two nights ago and had to accept a call at 3am to listen to a code :eek:
The reason I was locked out was for copying and pasting the word "Thanks!" several times, Twitter does not like copy and paste

I think because I've retweeted so many posts it thought I had an automated account. Was it a US number that rang you?0

O I didn't realise it might charge! I've had it a couple of times!I hope you have a happy day full of kindness :A0

Well hopefully it won't, but I'll definitely be checking my mobile phone bill when it comes through next.0

Happened to me yesterday too, I accepted the call but also wary of the charges, time will tell! Haha, at least I'm not the only obsessive re-tweeter

Also happened to me too. I try to spread my comping tweets out and don't tweet to many at once. I 'm on pay as you go and it didn't look like I was charged for the call.April wins - airwick linen set0

This just happened to me... I quickly glanced at the 'rules' and one of them states if you repeatedly tweet the same tweet/message the 'new software' will flag this, I looked at the comp I was entering when it locked (Win £75 via PayPal-Open Worldwide!) it is a long term RC tweeting the same daily message. So I think this was the issue for me.

Happened to me too yesterday and I had to take a phone call with a code to unlock my account again - not sure if I was charged or not, it did warn of a possible charge.0

I'm in the club too. It was easy enough to unlock it though. You click to let them phone you with a code. A voice speaks the code and you type it in and press enter.
I wonder what will happen tomorrow with the Friday tweets?

even though you are unblocked your notifications are probably being filtered! you won't show in anyones mentions or retweets. can take days to go away.
looks like it's a Rafflecoptor problem which is really annoying !
