May 2021 /r/Twitter - Mega Open Thread for All Things Twitter Account Suspensions - Guides, Stories, Advice, Questions, Etc.

The Fifth Month of 2021 is upon us, and you're still wondering how to get your Twitter account back that was suspended 2 months ago, or 2 days ago. Maybe even 2 years ago.

This Stickied Thread (meaning, it's always at the top of Hot) is for everything related to the primary reason many of you are here:

Twitter Support locked, suspended and/or banned your Twitter account. And you want to know how to get it back.

Or maybe you want to tell your suspension story, because yes, we are fully aware of how ridiculous Twitter Support is with killing off accounts left, right, center, and all points in between.

If you've been suspended by Twitter Support for an absolutely ridiculous reason, please feel free to upload a screenshot of the email you received from Twitter Support explaining why it was imperative of them to do so.

https://imgur.com/ is one of many places you can post your screenshot images, and link to when commenting on this thread/post.

There are plenty of people that have had their accounts suspended by Twitter Support. Most of them for the most ridiculous of reasons, or no reason at all. Many people told their stories last month.

We know there will be plenty more this month. And unfortunately, every month until Twitter Support decides that suspending accounts for no reason is a really bad way to run a social media company.

Was your Twitter account suspended for making "violent threats" even though you made no violent threats? Did you make a joke that was interpreted by Twitter Support as "violent?"

• This is an unfortunately common reason Twitter Support uses to suspend thousands of accounts.

Here are a couple of guides for those of you wanting to know how to get your accounts back.

Remember, there's no guaranteed method of doing so. We can only provide the best free advice known to mankind here. And even that, in the end, only goes so far.

• How to get your suspended Twitter Account back - An unofficial, probably very sad guide, Version 3.0
• The importance of "Context Matters" when submitting your appeal to Twitter Support
• Have a friend with an active Twitter account tweet @ TwitterSupport on your behalf.

​

Finally, a little on ban evasions / making new accounts after you've been suspended on Twitter...

If your Twitter account was suspended, even for the most unfair and/or absurd reasons, DO NOT make a new Twitter account.

Doing so is explicitly against Twitter's TOS, you will likely get suspended for it, and you will no longer have any valid defense nor good reason why your original account should be unsuspended.

Unfortunately, you have to go through the arduous, onerous, torturous, often insane appeals process with Twitter Support on your Twitter account that they suspended.

It may take days, it may take weeks, it may take months, it may even take years. Really.

As always, if you know of a legitimate method or better way to get your Twitter account back, up and running, please feel free to share.
