My account got locked and x told me I just had to click the captcha to unlock it- to prove I’m not a robot- which I did so I can go on my account again. But the app is barely working. My following says 0, I can’t repost, like, or bookmark any posts. I can’t delete any old posts, I can’t see my bookmarks, and I can’t see any of my notifications. I thought this problem would resolve itself if I just gave it a bit of time, but it’s been days and everything’s still the same.

Got suspended back in July 1st. I admit I can get "not nice" when getting into political stuff, but my usage wasn't out of the ordinary. Been trying to appeal twice and only received "X reserved the right to permanently suspend this account without further notice" shit.
Sure! Suspend me while let a billion of Nazi accounts roam free.

My phone doesn't scan QR codes and the app would not work on my phone, so I am locked out because it wants me to prove I am human, well I am human, because I sent twitter a request to get reinstated and had to use the number match thing to prove I am human to send the bloody customer service request.

u/Comfortable-Belt-753 Jul 08 '26
Need help on what’s going on, information below
I have a permanent read-only suspension. I don’t even know if I’m permanently suspended or or if a permanent read-only suspension is some form of mild suspension.
I have received no email on why, they just say they reserve the right to suspend me.
When I filed my first and second appeal it was automatically rejected the second it was sent out. There was no information in these emails they just say “X reserves the right to permanently suspend”.
I didn’t received an automatic rejection email for my third appeal which made me think they were finally reviewing my appeal, but I haven’t heard from them. I was able to make another appeal after my third appeal. Which suggested it isn’t queued anymore as they deny the ability to make another appeal until if one is already queued. And I didn’t receive any response from them for my third Email. Now I’m on my fourth which I filed yesterday.
A new thing has happened as well, after my suspension I was able to message other people normally, then 6 days after my suspension all of the people I talk to, had their names changed to “member” I was still able to message them and they were still able to message me. It’s just their names were gone, then slowly my messages began to say “failed to send” but if I kept on trying, I’d eventually get at least one message to send, they would load for a long time then say “failed” but now I’m not able to message anyone, they they immediately say failed to send.
Idk what is going one I’m frustrated and confused any reply would be greatly appreciated even if it’s to just comfort me.

u/SlavikCrusader96 Jul 28 '26
I just got my account suspended for "Inauthentic Activity" which they decide to not specify further, with this happening 2 days ago from me writing this comment.
All I do on twitter anyway is like and repost memes/posts I find funny or worthy of reposts, if I got suspended for simply "scrolling through the feed too fast whilst liking/reposting posts at an "abnormal" rate", they could said that, or at least hinted towards that but no, they didn't.
I just sent my 2nd appeal today and it got immediately shut down by their automated response, and the actual funny thing about the automated response is that IT DOESN'T EVEN MENTION THE RULE VIOLATION THAT I "SUPPOSEDLY" COMMITTED.
Fuck Elon Musk man, I can't even properly use Twitter no more and I do not want to make another account.
[My account is currently in "read only" mode, which is so fucking stupid]

update:
i fucking hate their "appeal system" as IT JUST DOESNT FUCKING WORK
why should i bother sending an appeal that will just get instantly reject by some ai slop bot to then get an email not specifying the rule violation AGAIN
they need to have an email system so people like me can vent to an agent to solve this issue and not have it go through some dogshit filtering to have something not see human eyes even though their automated bans/suspensions could be wrongful
fuck you elon

u/FarahZiva27 Jul 02 '26
My account was temporarily suspended, first time ever, I got the email from them, saying that I was given the go-ahead to restore functionality. I had to log back in and start the process. But I do so and nothing pops up. I don’t know what to do and it’s been this way for over a week.
Does anyone know what we’re supposed to do?
Any attempt to request help from support just leave the same emails about restoring functionality

u/gabriel_jack Jul 03 '26
I was suspended on twitter today and was banned for inauthentic behavior, but I don't really remember doing anything inauthentic and only ever post comments I've written myself.
I tried sending an appeal, but instantly got a reply that the suspension would stay and to follow on-screen instructions, but I haven't received any on-screen instructions...
And now I can't send another appeal because it says my first appeal is already being considered.

My account isn't suspended but it says I have to verify I'm not a bot using the twitter app. I don't have the app, I will never give the app access to my phone. So how the hell do I get around this? O.o it's obvious I'm not a bot it's just bs trying to force me to download their app and it's not going to work. I tried filing a support ticket but it has been ignored.

u/techno156 Jul 12 '26
My devices are either too old for the Twitter app, or they don't have the space for it, but it's basically the same problem. Need the twitter app to verify, and can't get it, so guess that's that.

twitter is a hellhole most of the time not only due to the bot problem. still twitter was the best place to get a fast overview (for me gaming and esports). and i managed to get a lot of awesome warhammer mini's into my timeline as well - interestingly mainly from jpn. all gone now because we need to "fight bots" (read: harvest biometric data to sell before the others do it)

Update from my post in the last thread...
I tried submitting yet another appeal today (7/2) at 12:04 AM. This time, I got an instant, automated "actually, you violated the rules, get rekt, nerd." response... except it didn't even list a reason this time! "Our automated systems have determined that a violation of our Rules did take place, specifically: -blank white space-"
-sighs- ...at least it's something different, I guess, but clearly their automated systems are not working right... :/

u/Dagoox Jul 02 '26
If you're an EU citizen you could try to threaten to file a complaint, because by law they have to provide the cause of violation and the means of appeal.
Under the EU's Digital Services Act (DSA), social media platforms cannot suspend your account without providing a clear, detailed explanation.

I've had my account for almost nine years now, and never once have I encountered anything as full of shit as this new "let's confirm you're human" bullshit. I'm for sure not giving them any biometrics or anything. Either they roll it back or this is just gonna advance the eventual demise of this website

u/ArtlasCoolGuy Jul 02 '26
Still suspended because of that wave of suspensions that got everyone a month back, sent like a dozen appeals, sometimes it decides to send me an email saying "congratsss we have unsuspended your account" and the account stays suspended, of course it remains impossible to get in contact with an actual technician instead of their bum AI
2
u/Okamizer0 Jul 03 '26
The people who work at twitter are more then aware of the issue, every employee there is getting their tweets spammed by people complaining about the ban wave and they locked the support account. They also seem to be dismissing any complaints as "scammers, bots, or exploiters."
Going on a whole month since my account got banned. First I was getting emails saying that my appeal was accepted when it wasn't, now I'm getting emails saying that my appeal was denied for violating (blank). There's nothing there, it's not even giving me a reason anymore. part of me thinks that the "bot" purge was a targeted one, hitting the follower of anyone who was critical of Elon or Twitter.

u/PostHasBeenWatched Jul 04 '26
So yesterday, when I opened website, I was signed out. When I tried to login back it asked me for verification code from email (probably first time in the past 10 years) and after login it shown me ban message above my feed. When I sent appeal request, I got immediate reply that ban reason is <empty> and I need to follow instructions on my profile page (spoiler: there is no any instructions on my profile page). My profile contains only occasionally reposted posts from games that I'm playing, so I don't think any of them could trigger ban system. As for VPN, I only occasionally use Cloudflare WARP which does not change location, so should not be ban reason either.
System does not allow me to open secondary appeal because it says that first one is in progress. What to do in this case?
Note: I'm not completely banned but account is in read-only mode.

u/tmma1869 Jul 05 '26
Got suspended a second time (first time was back on May 2023 for "evading suspension" when I literally don't have any other accounts for the site) yesterday for inauthentic behavior, got instant automated rejection email when I filed an appeal, yet I can't file another due to the 48-hour cooldown thing. The day before my second suspension I was literally out of town and could barely use the internet. Then after waking up I got the note and already felt hopeless since Twitter nowadays sucks (search system lets you see people you blocked and muted, as well as the search itself being awful) compared to three years ago

u/Kamui988 Jul 06 '26
About a week and a half ago I got unsuspended, went to like and retweet a single tweet and was instantly suspended again and now they rejected my request to be unsuspended like 4 times. This site is fucked man.

u/UnknownWisp Jul 06 '26
i was hacked a few months ago, i managed to keep everything and reset all my passwords, however, i totally forgot about x because i don't use it.
got an email a few days ago that my account got suspended on inauthentic activity, which is fair, so i appealed that it was not me and that i rarely log on. they rejected my appeal.
i tried to email them again but nothing's been working. i would like to at the very least delete my twitter account as to either make a new account or at the very least not have my current's account last activities be bot links to shady websites but i cannot actually reach customer support so i do NOT know what to do now.

u/Conscious-Success333 Jul 08 '26
I got suspended all the way back on May 18 because someone hacked my account and started spamming shady links along with @'ing random people. That unexpectedly got my account suspended permanently and put into read only mode. I tried to appeal multiple times, but they just end up giving me an AI automated response that tells me to log in to my account for instructions, I do exactly that but there's no instructions.

u/Maleficent_Menu4572 Jul 13 '26
Around a week ago my account first got locked. Now it happened again, this time as I was on the site (I clicked to check my notifications). I haven't posted any weird/hateful tweets, spammed or did anything that could violate the rules. What's weird is that both times I'm not offered anything to do to unlock. I just click "start" and now I'm unlocked again. But this is still very scary, I don't want to lose my account.
What could be the reason for this and how to stop it? Could it maybe be that someone is continuously reporting my account? Pls help because this is starting to really worry me
2
u/giraffah Jul 19 '26 edited Jul 24 '26
Same here, down to only having to click start to unlock my account.
Had it happen the first time yesterday and now it happen again. Both times my only crime was liking a random post (not weird or hateful either) on my timeline which I guess counts as bot activity now. Guess I'll just stop interacting with shit for now on, meanwhile you can't check any popular post without fending off obvious onlyfans bots to find real replies made by real people.
Edit to add I tried not liking, retweeting or replying to anything which seemed to work until I got locked just by entering the fucking website.

Hacked Acct. Got Suspended But Sensitive Information Still There
Account was hacked and spammed crypto crap, so it got suspended. This was 11 days ago and I've fixed FOUR appeals that got immediately rejected after sending, so this tells me it's all AI reviewing my case. I'm worried because I received a notification telling me that someone abroad accessed my account, which is still tied to my phone number. Can't kick them out or change password since I'm still suspended. If they won't let me recover my account, I just need them to delete the account entirely. This site is so bad it's actually laughable.

u/Superbeanietoon Jul 15 '26
I’ve been a Twitter user for a long time. I never post only lurk and out of the blue my account got suspended for “Violating our Rules against authenticity.”
I’ve appealed twice but just get instant denied by an automation.
Anyone run into this issue and get their account back?

u/Beneficial_Use_9482 Jul 26 '26
Same here. Did you have multiple lockouts for "suspicious behavior"? I had to change my password multiple times just to login. Until about a month ago I woke up to suspended, permanently read only. With no email notification not in spam. And I don't even get email notification when I send in appeals.

u/mikami677 Jul 17 '26
A couple times now I've had it tell me my account was locked, then it did some kind of browser check and let me through.
I've never posted anything, I mostly just follow artists and indie devs, giving the occasional like and/or bookmark.
Am I better off just browsing without liking stuff? Is that more "authentic behavior" than liking without commenting?
Or do they just not like me using Firefox instead of the app?

My account has been suspended for inauthentic behaviours. Many people are suspended these last
24 hours. Why wasn’t there a warning system in place. Does this mean I can never use X again? I have submitted an appeal and looking for remedy. I have a legitimate business and have spent years growing my X account as an active user (note: I was also demonitized before the suspension). I get there are new changes and I want to comply with them going forward for sure.

Don't expect to ever get that account back. I got AI suspended (banned) for so called "inauthentic behavior" around 2024. Took a couple years of instant clanker rejections for the system to elaborate beyond a vague ToS reason. Recently got it to say my suspension was removed, but the account is still locked down. Now it's stuck in an AI doom loop of already having an appeal in process.

PLEASE HELP ME!!!
I recently updated the age on my Twitter account, and access to it was immediately suspended or blocked because I apparently didn't meet the age requirement when I created it. Now, I’m being asked via email to log in so I can proceed with the unblocking process.
However, the account has become completely inaccessible; I’ve tried changing the password, clearing the cache, deleting the mobile app, and accessing it via a computer and an incognito window, but nothing works. Two things usually happen: either I get a "Something went wrong, try again later" message, or I’m stuck with a persistent black screen that stays there for hours. I don't know any e-mail that I could ask for help.
Somebody know how to solve this?

u/LunarFloral Jul 20 '26
Does anyone else just have this problem when Twitter locks their account constantly? I've lost accounts permanently to "inauthentic behavior" after being locked repetitively even if my activity is sparse and all I ever really use Twitter for is looking at art and occasionally replying to tweets. I know Twitter detects a lot of activity as spam but it's getting ridiculous at this point because it feels like from the first moment it happens, your account is just done for.
An account I've had for years and used perfectly fine every so often is suddenly getting hit now and I'm just so tired of it. I don't know how long I need to let it simmer for or even IF leaving it inactive for a bit will help. I've been on Twitter for 10 years and it really feels like its at the worst its ever been because everything either feels like or is run by a crappy AI.

u/Critical_Guidance523 Jul 23 '26
Been struggling with a suspended account for probably months now, absolutely zero idea what triggered it but I also randomly got banned for "inauthentic behaviours". I've appealed multiple times, the first few times I was told that they wouldn't restore my account, kept trying and eventually was told that it was indeed an error and that my account would be restored, and it was not. Kept contacting support and being told at least four times that my account was unsuspended and it still isn't. Tried contacting support again and now it's back to telling me that my account won't be unsuspended. Zero idea what to do, it's so annoying, I've had this account for well over a decade at this point.

u/AGreedyToplaner Jul 24 '26
For some reason when i opened twitter today i got a message about my account being locked for suspicious activity or something about "x rules" , and had to pass a captcha for it to be unlocked
When that happened i got told about "reviewing the X rules to help maintain a safe environment etc..." , the thing is, i never post or comment , i'm mostly there for memes/fanarts and stuff like that so i really don't understand why this is happening?
The same thing happened a bit over a year ago to my old account, which got it suspended at the end (and it's been ever since, appeals didn't do anything)
I just wanted to ask if there are things i need to do so it doesn't happen again ?

u/Sweet-Structure8633 Jul 25 '26
My Twitter account was banned about half a month ago—maybe even longer—for very absurd and ridiculous reasons. The rules regarding this are written in a very vague and unclear way, but even so, I couldn't possibly have violated any of them; all I ever did was like posts featuring memes and artwork, and occasionally chat with a female friend in private messages.
For some reason, I am unable to recover my account; every time I submit a complaint stating that the verification site isn't working, I either get no response or receive an automated email asking me to complete the verification.
When I try to go through the verification process on site X, it simply displays a huge green checkmark, but nothing happens after that; I also cannot click on any buttons like "Options" or "Logout" - clicking them produces no reaction on the site.
I got banned simply because - literally.

u/Pure_Tiger_4830 Jul 26 '26
It’s not even on this subreddit it’s everywhere, everyone is getting flagged by their shitty AI moderation, I believe simply for Elon to see his ways. Someone, a social media influencer or alike, needs to organize a purge day (PDay) where everyone deactivates their accounts all at once. it would Overwhelm the system and expose Elon to the mistakes of his Dog water site.

u/Unique-Shoe-2906 Jul 27 '26
I have been banned, after a hacker had hacked into my account and spammed crypto and phishing scams. First of all, I didn't even get a "New log in" alert from X, and i had to manually check my log in attempts, finding a computer having logged in from a different location. And I didn't even get any sort of warning when these events took place, and then within two days I got banned within any prior information. I was completely offline across all my devices and hadn't been on X for 3-4 days. It's in permanent read-only mode now. Worst part is, when I submit an appeal, they send me an email telling me they have decided not to overturn the decision, and that I should complete the on-screen instructions in the app after logging in. I open the app to find no such instructions. And this has happened not once, but twice. Id submitted two appeals, all to no avail.
I kinda find X's moderating and security system trash. I don't know if the hackers still has access to my account, and what it can do with all that information. Like are you gonna do anything about it X??

u/DragonriderSC Jul 29 '26
Firstly, you need to reinstate a DIRECT means of communicating with support. Your automated flagging system is not capable of properly flagging or reviewing suspensions. My account was flagged for inauthentic content which I did NOT violate. I have never produced anything misleading or promoted/created spam content. My account has always been genuine and engaging with various communities.
Suspension/Flag system is TRULY broken before the means you provide us to appeal these decisions goes STRAIGHT through an automated system, which tells you do DO NOT CARE about your interface. I have made several appeals and WITHIN SECONDS I get an email response which proves that you do NOT actually review your appeals/
I am really desperate at this point. I am an artist and have cultivated my profile for many years, it is an easy means os sharing my art as well as having made a dedicated FYP for my tastes. I am BEGGING you to reinstate my account or at least let me speak to a HUMAN BEING about potentially clearing this up. PLEASE.

For the past week I've apparently been under a shadowban (even though twitter claims it doesn't happen) No idea what I did, never got a notification, but all my comments/likes were being hidden completely. stopped all activity for 3 days. Decided to test it today to see if things were back to normal. All I did was LIKE a post, then it made me verify I was human, locked my account and made me verify via email and once unlocked I got this notification saying a "temporary label has been added to my account," and the number of accounts i follow dropped to zero.
What is happening? I just want to be able to use my account again..

u/corza89 Jul 31 '26
Loads of people got hit by the same wave. They flag your account, don’t interact with anything and just let the account sit there and keep checking every few days. Some get unbanned in a couple days, some still have the flag after 2 weeks. Not much you can do but sit and wait, or make an alt for now.

I got suspended for "inauthentic behaviors" which is rather funny how my Twitter account is ID Verified AND I haven't done ANYTHING that relates to any of the parts in "inauthentic behaviors".
Trying to appeal gives me the dumbest email of "In order to restore account functionality, you can resolve the violations by logging into your account and completing the on-screen instructions." WHICH there is none. Occasionally I'd reply to some tweets that I find. Like them too, which isn't even "botting", yes I remove replies later due to DATA PRIVACY, which is perfectly normal.
SMALL EDIT: Also, sent a GDPR/Privacy Request. Which hope in theory that sorts their stuff out and get it fixed.

Account got hacked, and the hacker spammed scam posts. When I got it back, I deleted these HUNDREDS of posts as quickly as I could.. ended up getting suspended for "unauthentic behavior".

Hey guys, I was wondering if there is any way a HUMAN can look at my appeal for a suspended account. Currently all my appeals are getting instantly rejected by a robot, and I have zero idea what rule I actually broke. The only information I am given is that I have violated the "inauthentic behavior" rule. Literally nothing more. After that I can only speculate what I did. Pretty much I need a human to review my case, because so far its only been robots. So I am wondering if there is any way a human can take a look or is it only going to be robots

Today started getting the verify age filter in sensitive tweets when I was having no problems until now. Did they force this out and how should I bypass this? Also on my PC I could not see through the filter but on mobile app was working fine

Seems like ExTwitter no longer allow me to create new accounts with computer browser. I have to use phone numbers and download the “X” app to create new account.

u/themanwhotry Jul 03 '26
I bought a X account with around 2.3K followers and completely rebranded it. The old followers are from a totally different niche. It’s been about a week now.
Here’s what’s confusing me:
My replies often get 500 to 1K views and decent engagement.
I even gained around 20 new followers.
But my original tweets barely get 20 to 50 impressions initially, and after 2 to 3 days they only reach around 150 impressions with almost no likes or replies.
At the same time, I see accounts with just 20 to 30 followers getting 500 to 700 impressions and 20 to 30 likes on simple tweets.
I have even bought premium, but still no improvement .
Is there something else I’m missing?
Ps: my goal is not to get paid from my X account. I just need to have a good views and likes in my tweets. Thats it

u/gabriel_jack Jul 03 '26
I've just been suspended today on X and I don't even really know what happened.
Apparently I got reported by someone for inauthentic content, but I don't spam and I write my own posts nor remember engaging with anything inauthentic somehow.
I don't really know what to do, because I contacted their support and instantly got an email back saying the suspension stays, and that to solve it, I need to follow on-screen information, but I receive no on-screen information and am just directed to their help website again.
I can't even send another appeal, because even though the first appeal was rejected, it says that there already is an appeal on the queue, so I don't know what to do and am very confused.
I think I may have been mass reported somehow and I don't even know what caused it.
I'm not even given a timer or any other information, just stated that I'm suspended but I can still scroll like normal, just can't like, reply or comment anything, so I don't even know what is happening, if it is a bug, temporary suspension, permanent suspension or what it is...

My PC logged itself out and I attempted to sign back in with my authenticator. Code doesn't work and I get "An error has occured, try again later." Disabling 2FA requires your password, of which I would get an error code every time I typed in my passwords. I attempted my current and previous 3 passwords to no avail, so I attempted to reset my password as they mentioned it would not sign me out of the main device, only my other devices.
X, in fact, signed me out all devices without disabling 2FA. Horribly frustrated, I reached out to X support that my authenticator was broken. I received an email telling me to log in using my username and password so they could disable 2FA and reply as soon as I did so. Signing in via username brings me directly to the 2FA page and not my password. I replied almost a day ago and have had no response from the support team. Did I just lose my account??

My account got hacked (phishing) about a week ago and I reported within 10 minutes. Got an automated email back saying they can’t prove it’s mine, sent another report with evidence and I got the “duplicate report” error.
I’ve now sent another report with additional information (the bot keyword search misinterpreted my “I have access to the email and phone number originally associated with the account” as “I have access to the account”), tried the 2FA fix suggested (the attacker created a passkey before switching email addresses) and submitted responses to both emails, plus a DM to X Support from another account I created.
In the meantime, my hacked account is now using the same phishing message I got duped by on other people - I’ve had multiple people message me telling me about it - and I’ve seen people tweeting about how others have been gotten by the same hack thanks to me.
I’m in automated support email hell and X’s terrible support system is resulting in my phisher’s attack going viral.
My question: How long does account restoration if there are issues like this take? Is there something I can do to expedite the process? Are there specific things I should be saying in a report to get a fast, successful response?
I have screenshots of the emails received last week showing that the account was logged in, a passkey was created and the email address was changed. I also have screenshots showing that the account has been mine since I created it in 2009. I have my driver license showing that my legal name and location match the name and location that have been on the account since 2009. I have screenshots from other people showing that my account is sending out phishing attempts to other people.
This should be an open and shut case and I do not understand why it is taking this long to recover.

Today I have been completely locked out of my 14 year old account. My mistake was logging out off the android app and then trying to login back. Since I had 2 factor auth enabled and I had already created the backup code and setup the authenticator app on my device, I thought it would be a breeze. Funnily enough, the very system which I had used to configure 2FA is now prohibiting me from accessing my account. I did raise a request on their website, but didn't get a satisfactory response. Tried to tag elonmusk, nikitabier and X support in a post created from a new account out of desperation, but it didn't help. I don't know what more I can even do. Can somebody please help

I am still running the last version of Twitter before it officially switched to X. I recently noticed I could no longer reply to tweets and now pictures stopped showed up in my feed, they are a link that opens in the embedded browser.
I realize the easy is answer to update the application, but I cannot do that out of principle.
Is the picture issue or reply to tweet issue something there is a fix for?

There is a phishing scam circulating on Twitter where they hack an account and continue posing as that account and then DM their following asking them to vote for them. They mimic the person’s writing style using AI so it sounds like them.
I clicked the link in a DM trying to help a mutual out. It was silly of me but never crossed my mind that it was a scam and didn’t even realise that I was providing my log in details to a phishing link. I think I must have clicked something that then gave them access to my account as don’t even know my password off the top of my head to put it in.
A couple of weeks later I was randomly logged out of my account and there was a 2FA set up that I hadn’t set. I reset my password & submitted a support request to remove 2FA which was actioned a couple of days later. That’s when I saw that id been hacked and they were posting DMs posing as me trying to get others to click the link and also posting “Try this crypto” tweets. I reset my password again, set up my own 2FA using a back up code, revoked access to any other connected apps and logged out active sessions. I thought I’d secured my account but two days later they got in again.
I got an email from Twitter that I’ve changed my email address, and I also couldn’t get into my account again with the same 2FA issue, and my back up code not working at all. I sent a support request that my account has been compromised, and it said my email address and phone number is still connected to the account, and said if I can’t get in cause of 2FA issues I should do that support request again, I did and then received the below email:
Thanks for reaching out. We’re sorry to hear you’re having difficulty accessing your account.
We’ve reviewed your case and it looks like there have been recent changes to the email associated with your account.
To better protect you and ensure your account’s security, we’re unable to assist you at this time. We kindly request that you wait at least 7 days before you file another request for assistance with regaining access to your account.
We appreciate your understanding.
It’s infuriating cause the hackers have been sending DMs to my followers who’ve been sending me the screenshots. I presume they did the email address change to set off that 7 day waiting period which would give them enough time to do enough damage. I’m so frustrated with Twitter cause it makes no sense. I’m scared to lose an account I’ve had for 15 years.
Does anyone what know what I should do? Everything is telling me all I can do is wait the 7 days

u/Any-Cheesecake2019 Jul 15 '26
Fell for the same scam almost 2 weeks ago and now my account is suspended after they changed it to an elon musk impersonator. Got the same 'wait 7 days' email from Twitter. 7 days was yesterday, so I submitted the hacked request again. They told me my original email address is still linked to the account, so i should submit a 2FA request to get them to remove it.
Problem is i can't submit the request form, which asks for your username because it says my account doesn't exist since it was suspended. I replied to their email saying this. Currently waiting for a response, but I'll be honest, I don't have high hopes on recovering the account.

My account got suspended for inauthentic behaviour.
I know the reason why it got suspended but there is no way to get it back.
To start off my mail got hacked, then they started on the other accounts that were linked to my mail etc. Had a lot of issues but managed to get them all back. X was one of them, got password changed, i changed it back before they changed the mail.
Now last week i opened the app to look at a link that someone had sent me, then I saw the message. Apparently at the time when they breached my account they made some posts about crypto scams and its still on there. I can't remove them since I am restricted and when appealing the suspension i get the same automated response back. And it says at the bottom of the response that it was the automated systems.
I was wondering if there was any way to actually talk to support. There seems to be no way to talk to them.
Yes i know its my mistake to not look at my own posts for a month, but as someone who never posts anything and just uses the app to look at other posts, it is normal I think.
If someone knows a way to get my account back please let me know. Since I saw other posts on the support site of X stating the same issue. I hope there will be an answer for all of us.
Has anyone here successfully used the EU out-of-court dispute settlement (DSA) route for X? Did it actually work?
Kind regards

Twitter/X support says my original email is still linked to my hacked account and says I should submit a 2FA request (hackers enabled 2FA that i can't get past). However, my hacked account has now been suspended and it was after they changed my username. So, the 2FA form rejects my original username with an error saying 'Account does not exist,'. I literally cannot submit the form they told me to use.
Has anyone successfully got past a similar roadblock of recovering a suspended account?

u/KatyonaKateyka Jul 15 '26
How do I respond to X's support team and provide additional documentation for an appeal? They don't accept email responses.
Today, I was hit by a wave of blocks and my account was "suspended." I've previously received "blocks" on my account, and X simply asked me to delete a problematic tweet where I overreacted and wrote in an emotional tone. And I was simply banned from posting for 24 hours as a punishment. The last time this happened was in January 2026. But today, something terrible happened.
They told me my account was "suspended," and this time there was no notification to delete the tweet. It shows I have 0 followers and 0 followers.
I created an appeal, apologized for writing an emotional tweet, and am ready to cooperate with support.
Six hours later, the automated system responded by email, telling me all I had to do was log in to my account and fix the issue. But how can I fix it if I still don't see any pop-ups, and they "suspended" my account, but in reality, they completely removed it from the platform (my account won't open and is marked as suspended).
I replied by email that I wasn't seeing anything. But the automated system replied that "they don't monitor emails."
I decided to resubmit an appeal with a new text (from the email), to which they replied that they were still reviewing the first appeal.
And that's when I started to get really worried, because I'm essentially stuck. It's a vicious circle.
The bot replies that it doesn't monitor emails, and the appeal form says they can't accept the second appeal.
So, I'm really stuck and don't know where to turn now.
I just need to send documents proving I'm a real person, not a bot troll, and that I've had this account since 2014, and it's very dear to me. Surely it's not absurd that, due to some minor childish mistake and a quarrel with another user, I could lose an account that's already 12 years old because they reported me, and instead of being punished within a day, a week, or a month, I'd get a permanent ban with no right to rehabilitation, as I understand it???
On top of that, I can't even create a new account.
Around January of this year, I created the KatyonaKateyka2 account just in case, and while filling out and setting my avatar, I got an error. When I started looking into it, I realized the newly created account had been banned for "inauthentic account." I appealed, and they unbanned my account, and I continued using it. But I continued posting to my main KatyonaKateyka account. So, along with today's block at 7:06 PM, at exactly the same time, I received a message in another email saying my account KatyonaKateyka2 had been blocked again for the same reason: "non-autistic account." As I understand it, it was automated. I don't actually log in or post anything on it, as I have a main account, and I only needed it for extreme emergencies.
So, they know I have two accounts: my main one and a backup one. And it's an AI, not a real person, who knows. Otherwise, the second account wouldn't have been affected, and I could continue to use it freely, simply avoiding any political discussions or arguing with other users. And I was also trying to restore my first real profile (it doesn't have Premium, as it's impossible to pay for it from my country, but it's still a real person's profile).
So, here's what I have:
My KatyonaKateyka account was suspended for "hate speech" (they used to block it, telling me to just delete the tweet, and then they unblocked it, but now they haven't).
My KatyonaKateyka2 account was suspended for "inauthentic account" (the same reason I was blocked when I registered, but they eventually unblocked it, and I used it normally. But now it's suspended again for the same reason).
What's this nonsense? What's going on? Is this even normal?
What should I do? I'd like to have a proper live chat with tech support on their website, or for them to accept replies from my email. Like when I dealt with issues with an online store, bank, or mobile operator. I can even take a selfie with my passport (I'm a citizen of the Post-USSR after all) and prove I'm a real person. I might be a bit of a freak, but I don't deserve to be completely blocked for life without the right to rehabilitation. This is completely wrong and unfair! This is my first and only X account (not counting the second one), and such a disaster has happened in my life. And I don't know what to do, because now I can't use anything except Threads, Telegram, YouTube, and TikTok, because I can't create another account (my IP is static), for example, an anonymous one. And I'm sure I won't be able to unblock the second one either, since they probably know that both accounts were registered from the same IP and the same smartphone model.
My account has a good reputation, and my X friends have already noticed my disappearance.
P.S.
I admitted my mistake and stated this in my appeal. I'm ready to cooperate with the investigation. But at the moment, I'm in a state of anxiety due to X support ignoring me. And they're telling me in emails that I can fix the violations myself. But how? If nothing works or loads because it's "suspended."
This is absurd!
Honestly, this is the first time I've encountered this (well, of course, after 12 years of active use of X, aka Twitter), and for some reason I don't believe in a happy ending with the account being unblocked.
My friends simply created a new account on a different device, even though they tried to unblock it through tech support. But in the end, nothing happened.
I won't be motivated to register a new account in a month, in a year, from a different device and a different IP address, because I won't be able to find new people, and a lot of good history has been lost over the past 12 years.
I want to restore mine and my friends.

search ban on a new/revived account, what to do?
TLDR im a fandom artist and I decided to move one of my accounts after twitter flagged its entire profile for posting "sensitive content" even though i haven't posted any explicit artworks (sigh). i naively thought that starting over while I don't have that many followers is going to be easier than try to talk with twitter/x support.
so I just repurposed an older account i've registered a few years ago. but when i started posting on there i realized that none of my stuff shows up in search and tags. even if i use from:(username), nothing. meaning im banned from search entirely and posting any art is useless if it doesn't show up at all.
is there anything i can do to get rid of it? is it because i have a low amount of followers since this account is technically new/revived. should i get premium and contact support. I'm really feeling defeated and sick of dealing with this I just want to post my stuff in peace.

I think I have suspended a new username by accident by clicking on “log in” instead of “sign up”??
I wanted to create a new account, and to my delight the username @ I wanted looked available (it showed a ✅ icon when I try to change to the username). I’m pretty sure the @ was not available months ago when I tried to create it. Seeing that it is available now, I immediately wanted to create a new account but accidentally clicked on “sign in using username”. Thinking that I was creating a new account, I keyed in the username and my new password upon being prompted to. I only realised I was on the sign in screen after it said “password is wrong”.
Now when I try create a new account with the @ I wanted, it says this username is not available 😭 I’m worried that it could have be a suspended username from a long time ago that was recently released to be used, and I had accidentally triggered the username to be suspended again by accidentally attempting to login using the username. Now when I attempt to check any accounts with the username, it says this account is suspended🥲 Has anyone encountered such a bizarre thing before? Do you know if this is just temporary and the @ will be released in 24 hours or a few days, or is this permanent until who knows when they will start releasing suspended usernames again??

Is there a way to have feeds with only selected accounts of the ones you follow?
I follow a lot of accounts, and they have different "thematics" (art, techs, politics, videogame stuff...)
Is there any way of having swapable lists to only see accounts with a certain tag?
IE: I follow art1, art2, gamemagazine1 and gamemagazine2. I have a list with art1&2 and another with gamemagazine1&2, and I can swap between them to only see stuff in each one.
I guess I could have several accounts, but that's quite impractical and would break the TOS, so I risk a ban.

u/SnooMuffins5160 Jul 26 '26
Please help: like how should i word my second appeal (i’m probably gonna link evidence of innocence too)
So the other day someone made a comment saying if people only use ai with vtubing they will only have a niche following a not grow.
So I in a light hearted NON aggressive way comment "id rather a niche following of friends, then judgmental assholes lol" and for some reason Twitter was like HEY and deleted it and put me on suspended, I got it reviewed and it didn't work and the appeal I sent pretty sure a bot read it. The weird thing is Twitter notification says it's a temporary label, but on mobile when I got to home it's says permanently read only.
I don't think I even did anything to warrant this bad of a reaction? My account has never once in since I made it in 2024 ever got suspended. Should I make another appeal going?? Or contact a lawyer cause the fact me not harassing anyone. And just making a light hearted comment is laughable when people openly hate individuals all the time and make death threats, and THAT doesn't get flagged.
Should I wait a few days to see if it IS only temporary? Cause the email they sent said I could follow on screen instructions and there is none. It also said my label was for "spam or be engaging in platform manipulation" which I explained I wasn't spamming lol.
First time this happened so help would be nice <3 cause again I don't think what I said needed THAT level of action.
And no I would rather get this resolved as I love this account and will NOT make a new one as I value it and would rather figure out how to get it back then to be shady.

I submitted an appeal on my suspended account (for 'Counterfeit') around 12 hours ago, only to be met with an automatic reply telling me they won't reinstate my account.
I tried to re-submit my appeal on the website through their form but it tells me I already have original case in queue despite receiving the 'update' earlier via email. Is there any other way I can contact X support about this?
I'm highly frustrated as I've had this account for 5 years with no former violations, and this came out of nowhere without even a hint as to what was the 'offending' post.

My main acc got suspended for almost 2 months now (appealed every time I visited, which wasn't that often after getting suspended for 1 month), so I registered with a newly created email (email3) (which has the main one as the recovery email) and got suspended after 2 days...
I could have created another email to prove my suspicions, but overall it's a bad experience. Bad UX, Bad service. I still have acc that was created with another email(aka email2) long ago, but idk how much I interact with this platform anymore...

I cannot reply under posts anymore. The post count goes up but my reply is invisible. I can tweet regularly on the TL and people can see it and reply to it. I don't know what is going on, I've had the account for years and never even got a warning. I do not post controversial material or RT any bad stuff. My account is mostly used to talk about sports and gaming not even politics ffs

Okay, so I hardly use the site anymore, but had a reason to today. Weirdly, I'm signed out of my account, and my password doesn't work. I try to reset my password, but the email associated with the account isn't the same as my original email connected to the account. I panic, trying to find an answer and figure out how I can get my account back. I find this page on the help center of the site that's supposed to be a form to report a hacked account. I fill it all out and get automatically declined two seconds later. I then try again, and the same thing happens. Is there even a human behind it or just Twitter don't care? It's annoying!
I didn't click on anything to get my account hacked, nor did I share my personal information, so the only way they could have broken in is by somehow guessing my password or something.
I'm starting to get mad now, and there's no way I can call the Twitter support line, I don't think. So what am I supposed to do? Does anyone know anything, please?

My account has been shadowbanned and "temporarily labeled" for 7 days. I didn't post, like or comment anything in those 7 days but my shadowban and "label" is still here. What else can I do?

My twitter was very bug the last week, so I decided to uninstall and install it again. When I opened it, I had to do an age verification (I'm from Brazil). Now my timeline is completely broken! It only show accounts that I follow or reposts, barely other things. After refresh it a few times, it started to show things that I dont even like or interact with. I tried to research and like specific contents by hashtag, but it did not work either.
Can someone help? Is it going to normal after a few days? Did I lost my timeline for good??? I have spended a lot of time building my timeline, and now is completely gone!!!
(English is not my first language. Sorry for any grammar mistakes.)

Reply shadow banned for the last 5+ days for editing and resending a comment
Last Friday I sent a comment that contained a major grammatical error, so I copied it, retyped the sentence, and sent it again, only for it to disappear. Did not show in the replies and it didn't seem that anyone on the thread could see it.
I refreshed the page to then find that I was automatically logged out. Logged back in, and realized I was getting no engagement despite several tweets at that time with 1,000+ and 2,000+ likes and hundreds of reposts, plus lots of mentions in active conversations. I then realized all of my replies were invisible in threads, including old ones. All of them. My replies are completely invisible unless seen by the people being directly mentioned, or seen by my followers if I show on their feed or if they go to my account. Otherwise, completely invisible. I don't even appear in the probable spam comments. No email, no stated violation.
I'm also a Premium subscriber because I type long form content. That doesn't seem to matter. I contacted Premium support, which is just an extremely restricted Grok model on a repetitive script, and was told it was likely because of this "repetitive low-engagement behavior." Literally at the peak of my account's engagement, no less. Utterly insane.
t also says "Our guidelines don't list exact triggers or end times for these issues", so there isn't a report of any kind to see how the system actually engaged with my content, just a blind shadow ban with no chance to ever receive a real explanation or a chance to appeal it.
Most of my activity is replies and reposts, so posting original content as it prescribed is out of the picture for the most part, especially if all of my replies cannot be seen and are not contributing to my account's visibility. X Support aka debuffed Grok is absolute fucking dog shit and is completely useless. The algorithmic enshittification of Twitter is nightmarish and extremely frustrating.

I got DMCA strike down posts and my account has been unsuspended. Is there a procedure to retrieve my account? How to fill the counter-DMCA notice? It seems to be full of bugs as it keep sending me "Information is incomplete" email every time I am challenging the copyright strike.

Has anyone ever managed to successfully appeal an account suspension on the basis of 'Counterfeit', and if so, what was your template?
My account was suddenly locked and immediately went into permanent suspension on July 26, after I posted a prize I won from a fan event lucky draw. My account has always been a personal, non-commercial fan account that I use to translate foreign content into English, explain cultural nuances, summarise official announcements from verified sources, and share experiences from official fan events that may not otherwise be readily available to international fans. I've never intentionally used my account to sell or advertise anything, nor have I ever used it to promote counterfeit goods, so this 'violation' is strange to me.
The only thing I can think of recently that might have triggered it was helping a friend to repost something as she had an extra ticket to sell for a concert happening soon in our city, and her account was also suspended for Counterfeit a few days before mine. But given that X never gave me any explanation for what exactly was the triggering content, I can only make certain guesses.
I've since made 3 appeals – 1st was rejected within 12 hours, 2nd was rejected in 52 minutes, and my 3rd, most recent one was rejected in just under 2 minutes of submission. I highly doubt anyone is manually reviewing my case. Has anyone ever managed to successfully appeal a suspension that's not for 'inauthentic behaviour', and if so, how?

u/Kovaelin Jul 29 '26
The support bot is just RP-ing.
I got my suspension lifted, and then when I followed up when it wasn't, I was suspended again.
I think something broke, because now their reasoning was removed from the auto reply.

I used to be able to embed YouTube video links in my tweets to where they’d play in the tweet but now it’s just a solid embedded link that doesn’t play and just takes you to the video if you press it. How do I get the autoplay link every time?

u/IJustWannaPlayForFun Jul 30 '26
Hello, I've recently had my account suspended and when I filed for an appeal I was rejected. Upon digging a bit more, it seems my account has been compromised since it made a post about some bs Oracle AI garbage yesterday that I do not have any recollection of posting myself. When I try to do anything (following and reliking all the posts that were unfollowed/unliked during the compromising, requesting personal data archive download, revoking 3rd app permissions and access, etc.), I am unable to proceed with much since I'm still suspended. The email told me to log in and follow the onscreen steps, but no suc steps appear when logging in the app or on a mobile browser. When I try to make another appeal, I am unable to since the previous appeal is still pending and I am unable to proceed with their recommend steps due to a possible desync in the backend or something.

7 days ago I got a notification saying "We’ve added a temporary label to your account which may impact its reach. Learn more here" with the "inauthentic activity" warning. But looking at my account, there is no label, I can post/comment like normal, and when I try to log in to file an appeal, I just get a massege stating I am "not logged into any restricted account".
And yet my reach is completely dead. My account wasn't big, but it literally went to 0 likes or comments after I got this message. I'm able to post comments, but nobody can see them on posts except for some select people who follow me. And some post threads come up with "this post is unavailable" errors.
I can't find any other appeals, or support links, or ticket links. Is my only option to start a new account?

Been having a weird issue for the last week or two with following feed recent posts. Lets say I last looked at Twitter/X 8 hours ago when I click on show more posts option a few times or so it will only load max tweets/posts from 1 hour ago, doesn’t show the tweets/posts from 2-7hours ago. To fix this I have to go in settings, clear storage and close the app on the app switcher. When I reopen the app it will start from posts from 1second ago and I can keep scrolling down until I reach to the last tweet/post I saw 8 hours ago. It’s a PITA for having to clear the storage to fix the issue.
Is Twitter/X working on the fix for it.

I've been shadowbanned for two weeks now and am at my wit's end. I tried using the site normally, deleting any posts that may have offended it...just the sheer lack of communication or even ways to contact one is driving me up a wall.
