Every morning I receive the following message:

We've temporarily limited some of your account features

What happened?

I get the code and all is good until the following day.

I'm not shadow banned.

I am only showing as following one person on my profile and yet when I actually look at who I am following it's thousands.

I have no idea why this is happening, however, I enter a lot of gleam and raff comps, could this be why?

Any help would be appreciated, many thanks, Karen

    I am having the exact same issue!

    I had emailed them through support a few times over the past weeks, but had had no reply, so today, before I unlocked with my phone, I clicked the help link in the message, which took me to a form. I filled in the form and got an immediate response to say that my account was showing automated activity. I replied to that email saying that I have never used automation on my account and got a reply within minutes saying that my account was 'good to go'. Hopefully that has sorted the issue, but somehow I don't fancy holding my breath!

    I also do gleams and rafflecopters. I have been using Twitaculous. Have you?

    It has been happening to me too.
    I have been doing more twitter competitions lately though and thought it must be that that has triggered it.
    ( I dont use Twitaculous btw)

    I've never had this problem, even though I comp a lot and do gleam and rafflecopter - I wonder what we all do differently that makes you guys have this problem

    Well, after Twitter assuring me that my account was 'good to go' yesterday and that the problem had been rectified, today my account has been limited yet again!

    Mine was limited this morning have contacted them and replied to their automated email, not had this for ages but to be fair I have been comping more recently, in the past it has taken a couple of hours to be freed up again, we'll see.

    Thanks everyone.

    OK feel slightly better that it's not just me.

    I use Twitaculous, but always open in a new tab rather than directly from the page.

    Same again this morning, I have completed the form so lets wait and see.
    :)

    However, I am now showing 0 page likes and Twitter has unliked every single one of the pages I follow! :(
