Hi,
I created some X accounts over the last few years for specific interest categories. None of them had any posts, comments, likes or following anybody. I was using these accounts just to have a curated newsfeed for specific industry interests by making private lists and adding accounts I found interesting.
One of them got a temporary lock not too long after account creation, but I managed to appeal that successfully. I continued browsing X without a problem over a year with that account until I tried to make my first comment, which was a clean, harmless and legitimate reply. After hitting submit, the reply did not even get published, and I get an email telling me the account was suspended “specifically for: Violating our rules against evading suspension.” Which is odd because I’ve never been banned before this.
I clicked on the appeal message and never got a reply. I’ve tried to appeal several times over the past year and not once have a got a reply or acknowledgement email from X to get a case ID.
What’s worse is it’s happening to all the other accounts. I have done absolutely nothing spammy, deceptive, manipulative whatsoever. I noticed the suspensions with the other accounts would happen after I try to add a few accounts to a private list. However, the reasons I receive for these suspensions would be “for evading suspension.”
I don’t understand how I could be banned for evading suspension, if the first account was not violating any policy in the first place.
There’s now a total 4 accounts with 0 followers / 0 following, no comments, no likes, no engagement etc, that have been banned for the same reason, and I just want to use these accounts legitimately.
I’ve looked at the unban services here and I can understand that people with large accounts may justify to purchase them. But for someone in my scenario I can’t really justify these high prices for essentially blank accounts. I don’t want to create or buy alternative accounts because these are specific names I’d like to build an audience around.
So I’m hoping if someone may spare some thoughts on how to overcome these unwarranted account suspensions.
Thanks
