Twitter clamping down on rafflecopter?

Options
Tried to do a rafflecopter tweet and got 'this looks like it might be automated....' and wouldn't let me tweet.

    Thanks for the warning. I've just done my dailes with no probs. I have more trouble with Gleam. I've given up doing Gleam daily retweets, because it puts me in Shadowban. You probably have already considered this: with Rafflecopter, I sometimes slightly alter the tweets, so that it's not exactly the same tweets every day. Might be worth trying that and seeing if it will let you tweet?

    Oddly, it's one particular comp, did a few others - and I don't do many - no problem. Tried copying the tweet and putting it in manually but got the same problem. And it's not a comp that had a zillion entries so dunno why. Ended up writing my own tweet and hoping the blogger will accept that...

    Well I've entered several raffs and gleams today without any warnings, though I won't hold my breath or think myself as 'safe' as there is always tomorrow....

    I always tend to avoid the gleam comps that are often run by several bloggers all at the same time - where each blogger's gleam has the same or very similar generated tweet or tweets - in the past they have either caused me to be shadowbanned or I have received a warning from Twitter!
    :TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea
