WTF: Ugh. Twitter #FAIL!

So, I took the plunge and signed up for a Twitter account (@momvschaos). A big shout out and thank you to those of you that found me via my 48-hour-tweeting-stint, by the way!

I gotta say, it’s pretty awesome. I don’t have a personal Twitter account, which I realize now is a good thing…it’s addicting!

I even got “Paleo Celebrities” like Diane from Balanced Bites, Robb Wolf, and Whole9Life to reply to me! Talk about awesomeness! I also chatted a bit with my new favorite Quantified Self tool, Zeo. Well, I didn’t actually chat with my zeo headband or anything, but the human behind @zeo is very nice!

All was going swimmingly until I got a random tweet regarding the HCG diet. I replied, and didn’t click through the link because I already feel pretty well informed about the HCG diet. Whoops! Novice #fail! I replied which resulted in retweeting what was most likely a spammy tweet. Now my twitter account is suspended!

I guess I will chalk this up to a beginners learning curve and try to feel less like a complete dummy. I hope it doesn’t take forever to re-activate my Twitter account. Any suggestions? Have any of you made a mistake resulting in Twitter account suspension? What did you do? Help! My new favorite way of communicating with other adults is gone!

  1. I don’t get twitter! I have an account, but it mostly baffles me. I post my blog posts on it, and occasionally reply to some…

    I did a quick search, and: You can contact support to appeal your suspension. Tell them your account is suspended, and why, etc.

    I found this: https://support.twitter.com/forms/general

    And they also have some info on “following rules and best practices” and that sort of thing. Maybe that can help you get it back and going again.

    Hope this helps!

    • Thank you! I did email support and they sent me a reply saying basically “if you think you know why your account was suspended, please reply, let us know you understand the rules and why, blah blah” :/ I replied right away…we will see! I hope I don’t need to set up a new account! We should be twitter friends(?) followers(?) once I get squared away. Lol. :)

  2. And- if that doesn’t work, perhaps you could open a new account?

    Good luck though!

  3. I am @glutenvygirl, when you get it back (which I am sure you will do) and that sounds great! Though, like I said, I am not so bright on the twitter stuff ;)
