I was banned on twitter some years ago and from that day, I have always had some fear that is related to running my offers on twitter. I undestand the feeling especially if you have invested a lot on the project and it dies off before even you make enough profit out of it. I however, kow that we tend to overlook the rules and regulations given to us today.

Unfollowing was never an issue, at least when i was still doing it, even en mass. The problem lies with following for almost 2 months now. I wasn't talking about the future, it's present tense, it's happening now.
If you get locked too, why would you think that this issue only effects those who are botting?
It's not a problem until you have a handful of accounts what you manage manually and you have access to the phone numbers. The problem starts when you have hundreds or thousands of accounts and you need to unlock them daily via SMS. You'd need a solution to automate the process, which can be done, but it still can get costly pretty fast. Depending on your profit margins, it might not worth it anymore.

It probably is.

right but i thought you guys were talking as though twitter was banning your accounts outright for the "sms re-verify"
if its because you cant access the phone number then i understand
but i have to think with twitter's strict rules that quite a few normal users (i.e. not marketing) have the same thing happening to them
thus, the sms re-verify is not that big of a deal
unless as you said you have tons of accounts with phone numbers you dont have access to
well, here it goes
imma bout to add 1,000 followers. come the phuck at me
something tells me that nothing is going to happen. i dont use hashtags (spam them anyways..they're used sparingly), have posted a link once and i only contribute good content
the people who get banned prob have something more going on (whether it be lots of accounts or whatever...hopefully)

can you be more specific like delay time you set, how accounts u tested with, manual/bot follow ,etc
1 account
As i said before i use a service so im not sure if bot or not. I dont think so as i have to manually add them
No time specific anything. I followed the chit out of them.. hit follow every second. Nothing happened

Yea, it seems to be over. I'm also increasing my following numbers slowly and no sms verification got me.
Let's see about ghosting and stuff, maybe they really just changed their strategy.

As was mentioned before... there's no problem with unfollowing people, on 4 accounts I was unfollowing over 1k people each day on each account for 4 days with no problem.
Just now, I decided to test follow limits on my main account and after following 100 people I got asked to change password so I did it through sms and after followed just over 150 people more without any notifications. Please note, that I followed those 250 people manually to test it (but usually I use FL to do follow/unfollow).
it seems that pva don't work as before and you need the sims to verify your accounts at random time.

Ghosting or not, that doesn't sound right.Hi, any ideas/findings about ghosting on follow action? Did 500-800 follows and got 0 followers back
How much time has elapsed since you followed them? Have you followed active accounts?
The ghosting is only meant for the notifications though, not the action itself, unless Twitter has changed something again.
Btw i just started a follow cycle, because some of you above said, that the restriction seems to be over, let's see how fast will i get locked this time lol

I don't think that it's completely over, but it got way better.

Aye we can see light at the end of he tunnel! Twitter seems to be letting it's death grip loose a little bit. Anyone who had tested the limits I encourage you to share!
What makes you think they're loosening restrictions?
