Anyone else is having this problem? Many of our 60+ accounts got locked yesterday. When I am unlocking with phone call or sms it unlocks and get locked again.

I don't have so many SIM cards and it even useless to unlock so I am appealing by email. Two of big accounts got locked for the 3-4th time today.

Their response email is:

"Hello,

Your account is now unlocked, and we’re sorry for the inconvenience.

Twitter has automated systems that find and remove automated spam accounts and it looks like your account got caught up in one of these spam groups by mistake. This sometimes happens when an account exhibits automated behavior in violation of the Twitter Rules (https://twitter.com/rules).

Again, we apologize for the inconvenience. Please do not respond to this email as replies will not be monitored.

Thanks,

Twitter Support"

We don't follow anybody anymore. The only thing - auto posting with socialoomph.com

Anyone else is having the same problem? Any solutions?

"4th time I get locked today" he runs ~20 accs and he is posting + retweeting "gain tweets"

Unbelievable!!! Got email from support - account is unlocked and it's locked again - 5th time since yesterday - WTF???
 
I saw this before. You can get locked for various things (e.g. following, tweeting). If they lock you for both, that's two locks. You solve one, then you're locked again without doing anything.

There aren't too many things you can do to prevent this other than quit doing those actions, which trigger the locks.

I guess SocialOomph can be a problem. Try tweeting without it and see what happens.
 
103 k account got locked for 7th time during 2 days OMFG!!!! There is another factor - roundteam.co RTs - free - about 6 day. I am trying to stop it.But unlocked accounts still getting locked.
 
Yep I got a triple lock on my personal account when I was just testing it with a bot I was writing. Something defo up.
 
Unbelievable!!! Most of the accounts are unlocked automatically by twitter. Few accounts are still locked - 3 or 4. Proof that twitter had huge glitch. But I've sent about 10 emails to their support and send message to @'ginger and another one . Plus I've sent DM to @twitttersupport. I don't know what helped but most of accounts are unlocked automatically now - without verification by phone. 3 days of locking and thousands of lost followers. What a shame twitter !!!​

Anyway it feels so baaaaad, I am loosing motivation to continue with twitter.

It is not so simple,not a glitch for sure. Try to avoid following the followers of specific accounts. Twitter is capable to track and see that you are following a specific twitter followers account. This is a newly release system to combat following/unfollowing and the usage of bots. If possible customize your bot to randomize the following across more than 100 twitter accounts followers (spread as wide as possible to avoid forming statistical pattern). From my understanding bot at the moment is following using chronological order and not randomizing.
 
Thanks for your reply and valubale information. Many accounts did not do anything at all - no tweets, follow ,likes, RTs. We don't use any bots anymore. I've unlocked one account (100k+) with 0 actions. In 1 hour time it was looked again. In 9 hours it was unlocked automatically without phone verification. IMO it was twitter glitch because I didn't do anything to unlock the account.
