I think you are fine, I've seen your entries into my comp come through ok, I think twitter is very quiet at the moment, if you can see your comments under private browsing then you are fine.

Mines been quiet for the last week or so, but I have tweeted companies regarding xmas presies and had responses.

Tweet me if you want to check to see if I see it.

Thanks for the response, hopefully it's just my paranoia. Never had so few notifications, seemed really odd. Usually get a bunch throughout the day, the only notifications i've had were from you. I thought that might be because we follow each other though, don't know if that makes a difference. I'm going to plow on until i get a response from a company.

Much appreciated as always, you are awesome.

I found out a bit more about shadowbanning. Basically unless the account is already following you they won't see anything you do. retweeting the comp etc, comments. Twitter don't tell you and with me it lasts for around 2 days each time. If FB and twitter don't want you to share or retweet etc, instead of coming down on those who enter why aren't they coming down on the comp runners themselves. FB is getting worse. More and more comp runners are now demanding tagging 5 or more people.

Yeah, that's the conclusion i've come to as well. Usually win on average about once a week on twitter. Haven't won anything for a month now, pretty sure my entries are not being counted. Tried leaving it several days, notifications start working again then as soon as i start doing anything ... shadowban. Only notifications i get are from people that follow me, so i guess they are the only ones that see my tweets. Tempted to abandon my account and start over, has anyone done this?

I am really sorry about dragging up an old thread but I used to keep hearing the word Shadow Banned and didn't think much of it however I have not won on Twitter for ages so thought I would use one of those free checkers and it has infact told me I am shadow banned, I then read more about it and it seems your hashtags do not show up.

So surely if a promoter chooses a winner via a Hashtag I have no chance? I made up a hashtag and got a friend to search the hashtag and nothing came up. They then searched my name and no tweets came up in the search other than when other non shadow banned people mentioned me. Could this be why I am not winning?

I have contacted Twitter but I am so annoyed and convinced this has something to do with not winning. I think it's because I do alot of rafflecopter in one go maybe, tempted to create a new account for RTs and use my current one for Rafflecopters.

These social media sites banning people for being social is getting stupid!
