Like most of you, I've been a happy Twitter user for a number of years. I post fairly regularly but not excessively, I use a third party client, and use their API for updating my stream on this site. But by and large I don't think I use their service any differently than most people.

So I was all rather surprised to learn that with no prior notice or warning of any kind they suspended my account yesterday.

What's annoying about this is that they don't actually give you a reason why. You're given the link to the Twitter rules which apparently I must have violated somehow (I haven't) and get the chance to appeal your suspension by filling out an online form (I did).

I received an automated email telling me again to read the Twitter rules that I must have violated (I haven't) and to reply to the email explaining myself (I didn't) or ask them to review my account for accidental suspension (I did).

So now I wait, I guess, for a human to decide what happens next.

Update: 48 hours later, my account was unlocked. No explanation of why it happened in the first place course. Just odd.

This is actually a thing here.
