Thought I noticed something recently...this just confirms it
Twitter is updating its algorithm
- Thread starter wizard04
- Start date
I have a five year-old personal, non-spammy account w about 50k followers. I engage my followers and just use the account for fun. Was following around 900/day and got locked last week. I knocked it back down to 500/day to play is safe. It's annoying though that Twitter is so anal that they inconvenience even those who are using the service responsibly.
So is this an unannounced 500/day following limit? Or do we go back to normal after they smoke out the spam accounts?

What do you mean by locked? Was the account suspended?

It is not unsafe to follow up to 1k a day. If you will hit the limit it means that you can't follow more and that's it.
The thing is to play with delays and make sure that if you use proxy you're using it in a right way, because if you will use 1 proxy for all of your accounts it will obviously get flagged.
Once you will hit a specified amount of followers then you can use most likely no delays at all

Same stuff here, got 3 pages suspended.
Now i'm working with lower settings, but i'm not tweeting. Started 3 days ago, no bans.
I would make a post with all my new settings but i don't get why the bh forum doesn't allow me to do this, I'm not trying to sell anything or break any forum rule, just tryin to help...

It's just flagging keywords. Like b..u..y or s..e..l..l, etc. Remove any words that could possibly be associated with commerce, and it'll stop blocking you.

I think that if your followers amount is decent nothing should happen. Nothing has changed in that specified thing

Both wizard04 and I had accounts banned that were doing nothing at all. So its not foll/unfoll or what you are posting. What is not clear is whether their algo has actually changed (as they clear accounts every month normally) or if this was just a one off.

Hi guys,
I was wondering anybody here is using Tweet Attacks Pro for tasks like follow, unfollow, favorite etc... ??
the reason why I'm asking is I can't use Tweet Attacks Pro to follow people on twitter anymore and I'm not getting even single follow from that software.
could you please share what software are you using for that ?
Thank you in advance.

The algorithm seems to have slowed...
Although I experienced a lock on 1 account of mine, I just phone verified all of them and waited a few days to go back to what I was doing before.
They're expecting security to be maximized account wide and they should let you sneak by as long as you are a brand or own an authority profile.
They just did the first clean sweep though so it looks like another one might come around Christmas time...
If your account isn't small you shouldn't have too many problems which implies reinstating suspended accounts would work in your favor if you end up getting one or many shut off. Just be sure to delay your appeals.
They might be planning a seasonal, holiday or quarterly wipe out for all accounts that aren't established. The new factors look as if age, authority, reach and contribution status / levels would be the most vital taken into consideration.

As I see it, Twitter are not eager to purge too many accounts so they only try to restrict very spammy activity.
And you raised a very valid point... it's not what you do... but what you don't do... A real account would have random likes and favs but bots will not.

Anyway I have successfully unbanned one of my acc, now I am trying to unban the second one and I thin I will be successful.
I suggest to all of you who lost bigger account to try ant get it back, most likely you will get it back as the % of people contacting the "support" for there banned acc is low.

I'm curious how many accounts you have per ip?
I'm following 240 accs per day which are scattered through 24 hours. Within last month, 30 percent of my accs get locked or suspended. Some of them never posted any advertisement nor links in all history of the account. In addition I never do rt or fav. They are all natural. Posting normal tweets in average of two-hour-slices doesn't count spam, i think. All tweets are randomly selected among 100k different tweets. I collected them from websites as a best of.
Considering that I do twitter staff for two years and based on my experience, I can say that same IP or same phone numbers have importance on mass bans which twitter occassionally suspends lots of lots of accounts in only few days. But, getting a few locked or suspended accounts even they never post links in each day is a new concept for me. I can strongly say that something big changed on Twitter's security algorithm and automated follows are fundamental on it.
Eventually, Twitter will exterminate all of us.

Twitter will exterminate itself if they're going to continue with all this suspensions, locking accounts and a lot of them without any reason. That kind of reminds me of early death of squidoo. It started the same way like is now with twitter. No explanations and no human words behind their actions and that's the reason that people eventually move on somewhere else.

I'm having issues with newer accounts locking. Letting them cool off for a day or two right now before I ease back into them and continue testing. My two older and larger accounts are tweeting, retweeting and unfollowing fine but I'm having trouble scraping and following new users. Could be my own error using followliker but the account spontaneously went from following 300-500 per day to zero yesterday so I'm not sure.
