I disagree about IPS which is used for following (posting). Because I had 4 accs on one ip and it is banned only 2-3 from that ip. I have also 40 accounts where I posted only my website so they survived that way. But other where banned, i used it for mylikes. Maybe problem with MyLikes? Twitter began hate MyLikes?
I lost old my accounts which had near 30K foll'owers each account :-( So from 200 accounts I have only 83 alive :-(
Yes, that's what i said too, i'm not sure what you disagree with exactly.
The managing ips don't cause this for sure, because as you said and that's my experience too: with these purges Twitter doesn't ban every account, which belong to the same managing ip (proxy), so the issue is not managing ip related. However if you buy your accounts, you can never be sure how many accs were created from the same ip, you can never be sure about the quality of these ips/proxies and that's where the problem lies. The culprit is the creating ips. At least this is my theory. Given all the circumstances, i fail to see any other explanation for these seemingly random bans, which only affect a certain percentage of the accounts, sometimes less, sometimes more, but never all.
The account creation is a delicate matter just like on pretty much any other social media site. You can't use a lot of proxies for account creation, which are still good for account managing. The proxy rules for account managing are not as tight as for account creation.
MyLikes can be an issue too. I haven't used MyLikes or any MyLike-type sites in ages. I remember occasions when my accounts was banned because of these kind of urls. If you push it too hard, Twitter either ban you on their own or you can get reported too, which leads to the same ending.
But if you were affected by this most recent wave, MyLikes wasn't the issue now, because as you can see, many of us were affected and i'm pretty sure not many of us use MyLikes or at least i'm not for sure and i was affected too by this wave and the previous one and the one before that.
Or take a look at this post, it was posted just now:
https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/facebook-mass-ban-incoming.904366/#post-9603058. Does it sound familiar? Although it's about Facebook, but it's pretty much the same what we experience on Twitter. These social media sites use very similar tactics to catch us.
A few weeks ago i read an article on my native tongue, that certain social media sites started to co-operate more closely and share their databases with each other in the name of the fight against terror. I wouldn't be too surprised, if they were using these shared resources in the fight against spammers (us) too.
Are you asking that if everything is back to normal? Then the answer is yes. These purges only last a few hours, half a day at most. It doesn't matter what you do until it lasts though, if you do anything with your accounts or they are paused. Even if they're paused, they can get suspended, what you'll only notice when you try to login or when you try to do the first action e.g. follow someone. Idle accs are not safe from these purges. The next purge can be expected in 2-3 weeks time.
