Twitter account locked

Your problem is the same as what a lot of us had before with twitter, you need to break up your actions, don't do tons from the gleam or rafflecopter in one go, break up the actions.

I had the filter for 9 months and to get around it I rt, faved and commented something slightly different on each comp.

It isn't always because your are tweeting the same tweet it is often the platform you are doing on it that is causing the issue, hence twitaculous has random smileys inserted into each tweet it lets you enter.

Tweeting twitter does niche as twitter doesn't respond and the forms don't cover the situation. The @Support is meant to help but doesn't.

Wait for your filter to lift, once it lifts break the actions up and check either under private browsing to see if your comment shows or by tweeting a friend to see if they get a notification.

However saying all that your bog standard RT will still show to companies just not your comments.

Above is my view from using twitter heavy in the last few years and coming across this quite often.

Thanks Toni, you lovely lass

I don't even know if I am under a filter. But I will follow your advice anyway. It's so annoying though. They either should or shouldn't allow daily comp entries. If they don't want to, then they should set something up to stop comp hosts from running it that way, rather than penalising us for entering.

Think i'll give the Raff/Gleam a miss for a bit, not as if i'm winning much on them anyway. Pretty sure i was filtered yesterday, but my tweets still showed up on a search for my Twitter handle. Usually get a few likes and/or retweets now and again but yesterday .... nothing. Now i'm paranoid i might still be filtered and if i go ham on the tweets i'll be locked out again.

Bah, you suck Twitter!

If i am filtered how do i get rid of it? Just wait it out?

I've been locked out several times this week. I don't do RC or Gleam but I do use Twitaculous. Not getting many notifications either.

What does filtered mean and how could I tell I'am filtered. I have re-tweeted freebiefridays today and entered a few raffs/gleam. It all seemed to work as usual.

By "filtered" I think people may mean "shadowbanned". This has happened to me repeatedly, not for comping but for what I suspect is me having the wrong political opinion. Others including classical liberals, right wing commentators and libertarians have also reported being shadowbanned. It's primarily used to deal with spam but is also being used to deal with the aforementioned individuals in the hope these accounts will get bored and close their accounts voluntarily. Twitter's official line is that shadowbanning does not exist and has never been implemented but it seems odd that so many people report the same issue. Seems now they're also targeting compers under the guise of ridding the site of spam.

To tell if you are shadowbanned, go onto Twitter using your browsers incognito mode or private browsing feature (you can also log off) and search using the following:

"from:yourtwitterhandle"

Obviously, change 'yourtwitterhandle' with your twitter handle (a.k.a. username you use to log in - the bit after the @ symbol).

If you see no results, you are shadowbanned.

Thanks for the info tghe-retford If you discover that you are shadowbanned then do you know how to become un-shadowbanned?
