Fyi i strongly suspect a UKUniversity complained since i have been tweeting about them a fair bit.Sorry that happened! I have no idea why. My twitter account is not used as much. I've definitely never had it suspended. I don't think anyone has complained about me but not sure whether I'd know.
I have gotten followed or re-tweeted by porn accounts (sigh). And not just soft core porn but videos of .... well, use your imagination. I found this out by going to look at who followed or re-tweeted me.
Why me? I'm clueless. One time it was in response to the Van Ness video about 2-day CPET, exercise testing - maybe exercise was a keyword? Who knows? Maybe they just spam everyone/anyone who is remotely active? And others don't notice?
Anyway, my first reaction was to report them all. It's not an easy, straightforward process. You can't just click on the account's profile or on a single tweet. That will just get it marked as sensitive or something like that. You have to go somewhere on the twitter support page (forgot all the details) to actually report them. Then hope the twitter folks will eventually suspend the account (they did a couple of times). It's a lot of hassle so these days I just block the accounts.
This is a long-winded way of saying that it's a pretty long and deliberate process to get a twitter account suspended.
Someone would have to be pretty motivated to do it. Who on earth would do that to your account and why???
