sorry, 14 accounts are totally off topic, I said ten thousands of accounts, your 14 accounts are surely under radar and not automated and might not be posted with links only....

You may be able to unsuspend your own account. If you log in and see prompts that ask you to provide your phone number or confirm your email address, follow the instructions to get your account unsuspended.
Are you seeing a message that your account is locked? Your account may also be temporarily disabled in response to reports of spammy or abusive behavior. For example, you may be prevented from Tweeting from your account for a specific period of time or you may be asked to verify certain information about yourself before proceeding. Get help unlocking your account.
File an appeal and we may be able to unsuspend your account. If you are unable to unsuspend your own account using the instructions above and you think that we made a mistake suspending or locking your account, you can appeal. First, log in to the account that is suspended. Then, open a new browser tab and file an appeal.

Mostly it says suspended. Sometimes it says locked, sometimes it says unlock with entering captcha and then getting your phone number approved. But we don't have access to these numbers....so unlock or unsuspend does not work.
Not to mention it would take literally weeks given that you have tens of thousands of accounts.
EDIT: You said links only. They didn't all go to the same place or hosting provider right?
I'm still thinking there was one thing that a Twitter engineer latched on to. 10,000's of accounts is far outside the practical limits of manual action. It had to have been done by the service itself.

If there would be a way to easily unsuspend I would be happy
Surely its done automated by software, not manually by hand

Our accs never got reported for sure, cause nobody knows about them.
And I just checked accs from 2016 that were suspended and they are still suspended....so I never seen a temp. suspension....
Why are people copy and pasting crap out of the Twitter TOS? I'm pretty sure everyone who plans on breaking that shit has already read it. If you're not breaking a TOS, why are you even here?
I'm of the mind that you're not going to be able to unsuspend the accounts but have you tried logging into an account manually to see what's being asked of you? I still think the more valuable lesson would be to try to puzzle out why all those accounts got nuked.

for sure, how else would you handle such a large amount of accounts?
We want to know if its a general thing or if just our accounts are affected.....
exactly, thats why we wanted to know if someone else have seen the same behaviour of mass ban

Just to let you know whats my findings:
After analyzing the accounts that were not suspended it seems like twitter detected our account network because the accounts follow each other.
Most accounts that are still alive do not follow any other user. So this might be a manual hit against our network.
Also nobody here experience the same mass account suspension in this timeframe.

How many accounts are we talking about? I experience Mass Bans sometimes as well - Biggest one was about 200 Accounts in one wave
