Twitter Phone Re-verification Wave

online only said:

Hmm how having sim cards may save the situation.

If accounts ask pva, then expect it'll ask for repva. Holding sim cards will save you from contacting your account supplier specially on events like mass repva. Worst case you'll have hard time getting intouch with your supplier unless you have some good arrangement with them.

Just a thought, like that: I looked at the twitter accounts which survived the banning/locking waves in my niches (niche porn). For example, if you just search teen porn, you can notice that first accounts:
- spam a lot: I tweeted really less
- have bitly (or other shorteners) links: I used links from my domains/sub-domains
- have links which are considered as dangerous/malware (click on them, you will see). I have never had that of thing with my links.

So, what do I conclude?

Recent bans/locks waves MUST be about account creations (ips or phone number), because surviving accounts are really less legit/safe than my own accounts which were banned.

And for you? Did you notice this?

Hey guys!

Fuck!

It could explain recent things!

Tried Google Voice for SMS verification.
Same problem occurs in 1-2 days.

- Using 3 accounts per proxy
- 2-3 years Twitter accounts
- With all Yahoo emails and some Gmails


FL has a new version, can be solution?
Also an sms verification system working with bots can be a perfect solution!
Share your experiences please!

After last SMS re-verification wave I had no problems, except 4-5 random bans (probably due to reporting) and one email verification. On Wednesday got about 50 old accounts banned. On Thursday got about 50 SMS verification locks on both, old and new accounts. Then I have turned off my bots. New accounts were still posting tweets without links and didn't had a single link on them. Those new PVA were created 5+ months ago and were running 3-4 weeks without problems, except slow growth due to ghosting.

Do Yous guys experience same/similar stuff?

I don't see this. This time bans and SMS locks are totally random. I got some accounts banned/locked that were running a year on same proxies and phone numbers. Also, last time they were locking strictly by proxies, I mean all 4 accounts on same proxy were hit, but not this time. This time it's not by proxies, totally random..

Well I hope this is the reason and now everything will get back to normal again. When I have noticed that bans/locks are coming not by proxies, I was started to think that now it will be a never ending shit..

What percentages (approximately) you got of bans/SMS ? Also if you still running your accounts, did they already calmed down with this shit on your end?

It's hard to tell. I doubt it's due to the bot, but we still need to figure out. Is there any other software users that had/have same problems?

After the first SMS wave i stopped all tweeting schedules. I was still in a testfase with around 50 account, about 50% of my account got banned. I can't unlock my PVA accounts because i dont have access to the number for the google voice number.

After 2 weeks i started with following and unfollowing with the settings i used before and let it run for a few weeks, none of my remaining account for SMS verification.Few days ago i started tweeting like before with 20-24 tweets a day and after 24h again around 50% of the accounts are getting banned within the same range of the proxy. I use 4 per proxy, some got sms lock, some got locked with password change. I cant find any comparison with the accounts. In the accounts who banned and still not banned i bought some of the same buyer. Also from other buys some accounts got banned and sms, but not all.

For me it sounds like Twitter found a good way to block this type of activity. Guess this is the end of my Twitter traffic driving websites...

Ahh too bad I started a thread before seeing this, I'm now going to read all the pages. However this is my issue:


Basically 2 of my twitter accounts running on FollowLiker ask for a PVA every single day. The message that pops up on the screen when I try to manually login to twitter is : "Your account appears to have exhibited automated behavior that violates the Twitter Rules. To unlock your account, please complete the steps below and confirm that you are the valid account owner."

What am I doing ?

-Running only 5 accounts on home IP
-Each account posts 2 tweets every 12 hours / no retweets, no likes.
-I'm rotating between 12 tweets ( which means that at some point the tweets and photos are repeating and maybe this is causing the issue or ? )
-The accounts are unfollowing from 175 to max 200 people per day and around the same number for following. ( I never follow and unfollow the same day ).
-I use goo.gl links.
-Not all of my tweets contain links ( I make 1 tweet without a link a next time 1 with link and so on)

Hello,

are they porn/adult accounts?

And 5 accounts on 1 ip is dangerous.

I receive re-pva on over 20 porn accs, thanks god i have sim cards for these accs. I think the ban is near btw

I really think that twitter is going the tumblr way: they are rampaged against porn.

I received another massive ban the last Wednesday/thursday 260 of 300 account got banned. 190 ban, 70 sms!

I used the default configuration of FollowLiker but this time my accounts is growing very slow, I started to work May 16 and I'm not sending dm's, only tweets with images (adult niche) and follow/unfollow.

At this time I think to follow the advice from some guy, start fast, growth fast and make some money with the account, the ban is coming maybe in 3 weeks, 1-2 months or 4-6 months but you can be shure is coming.

All my accounts are PVA with no profile and mail.ru

I received another massive ban 2 months ago, all my 300 accounts so I started to upgrade my tweets, dm's, images I spend a LOT of time making this but at this point I don't want to work any more improving spintax or images, I think to work with the same configuration for every project again and again, I don't think the problem is here, but I don't have any fucking idea about how twitter detects fingerprints.

Could there be a connection between the recent hack and the phone verification wave?

Do you still run those 40 accounts which left untouched? No bans/sms after Wednesday/thursday?

Could Twitter be identifying which accounts to lock, SMS verify by proxy providers? I'm racking my brain here trying to figure whats setting Twitter off. I get daily about 5-10% of my accounts requesting SMS verification or getting locked. It's vetting a little annoying...

Your settings are probably way to high guys, try lowering them and moving up little by little each day

100 to 150 too high? How low does one need to go?

I'm only test the accounts for safe/ban I think today start the 40 I have left with new dm's

How account per proxy do you use? I made me banish my accounts without stops last month.

I don't know, I got an SMS verify on a 1-year-old account that I run on my home IP. I had been following up to 900 a day for many months with no problems whatsoever. I have reduced the settings to 100-200 a day for now, hoping that is conservative enough. But who knows ... Kind of scary, because that account has 55,000 followers.

you need to start small 40-100 for brand new accounts for first week and every 3-4 days up it by 25 that should do the trick, assuming u don't tweet links or dm links right? Those will set off flags for Twitter.

I use 3 accounts per proxy because I believe that's the most beneficial without getting banned.
