Hi Mike,
You are correct about the IP. Many months ago when I was just getting started I also opened to many accounts in one day only to wake up and find them suspended. My older account which was only about a month old was not suspended. Also keep in mind when sending tweets out on more then one account that all the tweets will be coming from one IP address. Just use caution when using more than one account.

Thanks for the comment,
Skeeter

Stealing: Updates poached from others’ timelines, passed off as one’s own. Putting your own spin on a tweet will keep you safe.

Well, does anyone know how many tweets are being published per day ? They just run the business there, I don’t think they even bother with such things. Certainly that isn’t something that make me feel unsafe lol

Supposedly that is a rule to be kept in the written in the case of “lyrical” tweets, for example, a quote said by a celeb etc… then again, we must assume that we own copyright for any tweets we sent out. hmmmm, never heard of something like that, although will be easy to stand that we do (it makes sense doesnt it? )

last, where is those information taken from ? have you got any source? or is just what people reporting?

Was there a rash of twitter suspensions 12/26/09?

I made the mistake of opening too many accounts in one day, they were all suspended, even a couple that had no posts in them. A couple of older accounts with a lot of followers also got hit.

Does twitter look at the IP number from which accounts were setup? The IP number from which posts are added?

Thanks
Mike

I like this list of reasons that could cause an account to be suspended but I also think there should be others added to the list..

- Hogging the screen. I have unfollowed many people for hogging the screen with tweets. Regardless whether they were interesting or not. It gets very annoying to see the same or numerous tweets from the same user over and over and over again in a matter of minutes apart.

- Obscene avatars should also be a good reason to be suspended. I have seen more than enough on Twitter that I feel should not be allowed on a respectable website.

I also unfollow those who advertise those gain followers programs as well, so I am glad to see that one on the list above.

The “Misuse of the Reply Feature” – is another great one because that has been an issue to me in the past. I had those that followed me and constantly sent me links to those get rich quick schemes as well as the gain followers programs. My motto is – “Don’t harrass me over stupid stuff or I will not only unfollow you but I will block and report you as spam in the process.”

You guys are doing a great job with keeping Twitter safe and enjoyable. I am proud to say that I am a member of Twitter.

Thanks.
