2) I think I was banned for bot-like behavior! I did HUGE follow back train by @TT45Pac.
3).Not only did I follow everyone on a train with 50 or so cars, I also followed everyone who RT'd the cars. It was hundreds of follows because I'm trying to get to 5K.
4) Along the way, I kept hitting the "You've followed too many" error, so I also unfilled hundreds of inactive accounts. I believe this also causes many to have to verify their accounts. (Temp suspension.)
5) Now the HOW TO. In shory, do un-bot-like things.....
6) Ramp up your tweeting, with original posts. Also, instead of just re-tweeting, quote the tweet and say something that reacts to that specific tweet.
7) Also, send an email to @TwitterSupport. Be nice, or at least no cursing. (I know it might be hard, but #YouCanDoIt!
8) Here's the gist of what mine said:
9) By the way, I didn't email them, it was a tweet....
10) Dear (support ), I am not a bot. Please remove the #Shadowban. I did a follow back train where I followed every single acct individually. There was no automation. I touched every account myself. Thank you!!
11) It's been a busy couple days, so I don't remember the exact timing, but it was removed within 8-12 hours of my email after engaging in a lot of tweets & unique responses to others.
P.S. please reply back to me if it worked, and how long it took.
