Mod Post Reminder: DO NOT CONTACT PEOPLE FOR HELP REMOVING YOUR ACCOUNT

122 Upvotes

Hi,

Just your reminder that if someone tells you to message someone who isn't official twitter support, STOP. IT'S A SCAM.

Doubly true if the person you're messaging asks for money.

Remember: nobody is risking getting fired for a stranger's twitter account.

Incredible: account restored after claiming I am a Mossad operative

45 Upvotes

So, my account got permanently banned about a two months ago for "violent conduct".

About ten unsuccessful appeals. I tried also the "Israeli method" several times (copy pasted from post from this reddit group). Every time rejected.

Tonight I tried something else. I wrote in my appeal: " This suspended account belong to a Mossad operative. It contains important information pertaining to the security of Israel and safety of Israeli citizens. Please restore the full functionality of the account". Gave it to Chatgpt to translate it to Hebrew.

Literally TWO minutes after submitting the appeal my account got reinstated.

Accounts Keep Getting Suspended

5 Upvotes

I'd had my X account for 16 years. Had no problems at all whatsoever until one day I'm suddenly suspended for "inauthentic behavior". I appealed and they restored the account, but a few days later it was suspended again for the same reason. I appealed again, but this time they denied it without telling me what rule I broke. I appealed over and over again and got the same shit.

So I decided to just create a new account and try to rebuild it. A week later that account was suddenly suspended as well for the same reason. I appealed, but they denied it. So I created a third account, and again, within a week it was suddenly suspended.

So I created a fourth, but this time I use it strictly on my phone. It's been a few months now and I haven't had any problems. I've gotten my account back to a comfortable state, I just hate only being able to use it on my phone. But I'm afraid if I log into it on my PC it will be suspended for whatever bullshit reason.

Has this happened to anybody else, or know what the issue might be? Any help would be appreciated.

Almost 2 months suspended for “inauthentic behavior” — instant appeal rejections. Has anyone actually escaped this loop?

3 Upvotes

Almost 2 months suspended for “inauthentic behavior” — instant appeal rejections. Has anyone actually escaped this loop?

My indie game dev account has been suspended for “inauthentic behavior” for almost 2 months.

It was a very new and small account used only for my solo indie game development.

Before the suspension, I had basically only:

  • posted an introduction
  • posted a trailer for a game I made myself
  • replied to my own post with the game’s legitimate itch.io link
  • followed a few indie game developer/studio accounts
  • liked around 1–2 posts from each
  • had my older translation-related account retweet one of my posts once

I never used bots, scripts, automation, mass following, engagement services, repeated promotional links, or anything intended to manipulate engagement.

X originally said I violated the “inauthentic behavior” policy.

Since then, I have appealed multiple times.

The strange part is:

  • X tells me to log in and complete “on-screen instructions,” but there are no instructions or verification options at all.
  • Some rejection emails say that an “automated system” detected the violation.
  • In some responses, X says “the specific details are as follows,” but no actual violation is listed.
  • My appeals are often rejected almost immediately. On October 17, I submitted an appeal at 9:42 PM and received the rejection email at 9:42 PM.

I also tried other official routes. X’s representative in South Korea directed me back to X Support, and a BBB complaint was eventually closed because X never responded.

I’m now considering asking Korea’s privacy authority to review whether this automated decision process is being handled properly, because I still cannot get any meaningful explanation or human review.

For anyone who was suspended for “inauthentic behavior” and eventually got their account back:

  1. How long were you suspended?
  2. Were your appeals also rejected almost instantly?
  3. Did anything specific seem to finally trigger a human review or restoration?
  4. Did your account eventually come back even after X repeatedly said the decision would not be overturned?

I’m especially interested in recent 2026 cases.

I’m not looking for ban-evasion methods or ways to make a new account. I just want to recover the original account through a legitimate process.

Thanks for any firsthand experience or advice.

X wants me to delete some posts, but won't let me pass their ridiculous verification to do it. Genius!

I swear, Elon Musk has completely ruined this platform since Twitter became "X". Every time I think it can't get any dumber, they somehow find a way.

So here's what happened.

X told me I needed to delete some posts that supposedly violated their rules. Fine. I was literally trying to do what they asked.

But apparently, they've now replaced the normal CAPTCHA verification with some ridiculous biometric face scanning or profile photo verification system.

I tried recording my face more than three times. THREE TIMES. Every single attempt failed because apparently X can't figure out whether I'm an actual human being.

And now it looks like I can't even attempt verification again. No idea if this is temporary or permanent because, of course, they don't bother explaining anything.

Here's the funniest part: MY ACCOUNT STILL EXISTS. THEY WANT ME TO DELETE POSTS. BUT THEY WON'T LET ME ACCESS MY ACCOUNT TO DELETE THEM.

HOW DOES THAT MAKE ANY SENSE???

Seriously, who designs this stuff?

At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if the next update required a DNA sample, a birth certificate, and a personal interview with Elon Musk just to prove you're not a robot.

Twitter used to be a functioning platform. Ever since it became X, it's been one ridiculous decision after another.

I'm genuinely furious. Not even because they flagged my posts, but because of how unbelievably stupid this entire process is.

Has anyone else dealt with this biometric verification nightmare? Does the option to retry eventually come back, or am I permanently locked out of an account that X itself is asking me to fix?

I tried appealing this same email i got last time (only difference was it said “our support team” last time)

I appealed saying there seems to be a glitch, i am not able to see any on-screen instructions and so on…

But immediately get hit with this same email again… what do i even do at this point… we spend years building something… we pay a monthly fee for subscription… and they treat us like they dont even care with an automated ai email… which wont even say what i did wrong to get suspended…

I was messing around with my age options thing and I thought it'd be funny to click "2025" and now the system won't let me change back. I didn't think it'd actually have consequences, somebody help..

edit: It keeps going, "Account update failed: You may not change this setting."

Account locked with the option to delete the post. How long to wait on appeal?

2 Upvotes

My account is currently under attack by a bunch of people that dislike me, so they mass report my art. This is the second time now my account has been "locked", which means I have to accept that I did something wrong and click the "delete post to unlock".

I've heard there are strikes to this though.

I appealed this current lock. How long does it take them to confirm it's fine? And do they put you on some white list so you can't be mass flagged anymore?

Question Creating a new acount after suspension

Like many others I was suspended for inauthentic behavior falsely, I assume many of you have made new accounts even though we are not allowed to. How has it worked for you did you get away with it or did you get banned again?

Banned for Inauthentic behaviors with no onscreen instructions

59 Upvotes

Had this account since 2016 and this is my main and news account. I notice all the bannings and everything a few years ago and decided to be extra careful and just only like and interact with my friends. Apparently twitter thinks that was too much with only 600 followers.

I got banned on the 25th and tried today with no luck today. I even used AI to draft me a factual response.

Hacked account

1 Upvotes

Hi guys,

My X got hacked a few months ago and I’ve been going at it with X’ useless support ever since then.

The hacker changed the email but didn’t change the
phone #. The problem is that the number is my old one and I also don’t have access to it 🥲

X support says “old phone number is still associated with the account so you can regain access” I told them multiple times that I have no access to the phone and now I’ve exceeded my limit of chats and can’t contact them anymore 🤣🤣🤣

Requested data deletion as per GDPR and they still told me to fuck off 😅

Do you have any recommendations what to do apart from making a new one? 🫶🏼

Advice Looking to partner or buy a large X account who focuses on sport content

1 Upvotes

Hi,

I have a small but growing YouTube channel (unmonetized yet) that focuses on mainly the English Premier League. I've recently focussed on this more regularly and want to push it.

I create all the content , including graphics, script and narration and each video is around 5 minutes long. I'm aiming to create multiple videos a day.

I'm looking for someone who has a large following on X and focusses on Football (soccer) / Sport who could promote the channel / Videos and can split monetization once there. Essentially someone with a large following who can post links and promote the content. I will do the video creating or can be flexible depending on what the other person wants ..

If interested or want more info, please comment or DM me.

Does X’s algorithm favor right wing content?

I want to see what people think about the content recommended by X’s algorithm.
Which type of content do you think X promotes the most?

What’s your experience with the For You feed? Do you think the algorithm is politically biased, or does it depend on your interests and interactions?

Fucked up stuff on X

40 Upvotes

I keep seeing material that everyone would agree is not appropriate and should carry a heavy jail sentence. When I report this I get feedback telling me that its actually fine (it definitely isnt). How do I actually report this stuff and yield results. I have made a complaint to police about a specific hashtag but I honestly feel like every avenue I look at is more or less uncaring and exist simply as a way to claim they try to prevent these things even though they do nothing. For now I have uninstalled the app but I really would like a way to bring some of these to justice.

We know that they're asking for your biometric data or for a selfie, but why being scared? (Honest question) What will they actually do with a selfie of you? Like to train AI? That's not a big problem for me, I haven't access my acc for 2 months or so, just because of this block but I want login again, but I'm little bit Concerned

Advice Accounts suspended for no reason + can't access accounts anymore

2 Upvotes

So for about a week now, I have had my two accounts suspended off of twitter (one public the other private). Its telling me that is due to having an inauthentic account?? but I used to have all my info registered for both of the accounts

I got logged off of both my accounts and won't let me log back in, so even if I wanted to fix the issue I can't, and I can't even access the help center since I need to be logged into an account WHICH I NO LONGER HAVE ACCESS TO, so I can't even ask for help.

Its so frustrating and can't even use it on my phone since it automatically logs me out of my account or suspends any other account that logs in through my phone.

Has this happened to anyone else? What did you do to solve it?

Any help would be appreciated
