Thanks so much for sharing this Beth so others can read and learn. These helpful tips can help many others deal with the glitches with Twitter. I never heard back from @ev on my message either so your not alone.

Karriann, thanks for all your generous help.

After our conversation I sent a message to @ev and also an e-mail to Del@twitter.com explaining what had happened and requesting Neill's account be reinstated..

Within 20 minutes his account was back up and his 14,000 and his Followers reappeared. Yippee!

Below is a copy of the message I sent in hopes it might support someone else. Once again Karriann, Thank You!

Copy of the e-mail I sent:

Hello there…I was told you were the guy to talk to. I sure hope that's true. My husbands twitter account got suspended last week. We sent a support ticket and only received an automated e-mail saying that would take a minimum of 30 days to check into his account. I put a request on the forum and heard nothing back. I messaged @ev today, but haven't heard back from him either.

This is a totally legitimate account that we've taken time and consideration building. There is nothing but real communication from us to other real people. Nothing that he is doing can be considered illegal according to Twitter.

Would you be willing to help restore @NeillGibson 's account? I would be so happy if I actually heard back from you, it has been very frustrating dealing with twitters nonresponsive customer service.

My next, hopefully unnecessary step is to start asking for help from my Twitter community.

Please let me know if you can help or if you know who can.

sincerely,
Beth

I guess I’m in the Lost Followers Club, too. Still hoping that Twitter can get my peeps back since, ironically, they did restore the folks I was following – just not those who followed me. In any event, I made light of the whole thing with my song parody… http://snipr.com/encxc

Looks like you’re back up, and with all your followers too! Please post a follow up to this & share what happened when you get a chance.

I’m sorry to hear you’ve lost so many followers. And that Twitter doesn’t feel like communicating with you.

I used to have an account that got suspended for, in my opinion, no good reason. I’ve filed a few tickets to unsuspend the account and these tickets got either deleted or closed without a word. There hasn’t been any non-automated communication from their side since the ‘one week suspension’ two weeks ago and the account is still suspended.

I consider myself lucky that I only lost a hundred or so followers during this recent Twitter “update”, but do wish that Twitter would communicate with it’s users when changes are about to be made and what to expect.

I can only assume that the losses cited above are not part of any “cleanup” campaign to clear out spammers – it’s obvious that some users have seen significant losses in their followers and it is up to Twitter to respond to their crisis!
