We all know that Twitter is a micro social networking platform, which allow us to share our views, thoughts or any other update we like in form of small messages, which are called Tweets. Twitter has become a very fast growing social networking site after it’s launched in 2006 and rank at 10th position globally, as per current Alexa rankings. Recently, we also joined this fast growing social networking site for our blog and started following other member’s in Twitter as suggested by Twitter itself. But all this amazing journey with twitter came to end few days back, when I saw that my Twitter account has been suspended without any notification.
It felt like my flying bird of Tweet has been captured by some hunter and has been put behind bars. The whole thing about this suspension came to my notice, when I repetitively try to Tweet one of our blog post and got the error saying something went wrong and try after sometimes.

Then suddenly I logged into our Tech2Blog Twitter account and found that it was displaying Suspension notice at the top, as shown below.
After this, I immediately filed appeal for my suspended Twitter account at there help center and after day or two I got the reply, which gave me reasons why Twitter suspends accounts and there rules. After reading full email, I replied to them, that I do not got any suspension notification in my mail and asked them to activated my account back, as this was due to some technical error.
And after two days of my wait, I finally got email from them (Zendesk), stating that my account was caught in spam by mistake and now has been restored. Below is the actual reply which I got from Twitter.
Zendesk, Feb 19 03:43 pm (PST): Hello, Twitter has automated systems that find and remove multiple automated spam accounts in bulk. Unfortunately, it looks like your account got caught up in one of these spam groups by mistake. I’ve restored your account; sorry for the inconvenience. Please note that it may take an hour or so for your follower and following numbers to return to normal. Thanks, Zendesk
After this incident, I gave little pressure to my brain and asked the question to myself, that’s what I did wrong that my account was caught by in spam accounts ?
So below are some points from my own experience which may have given invitation for my suspension and I think first one suits best for me.
