Recovering Twitter suspended username

Posted by Abdel on 11:10 AM 1 comments

I have been the victim of having some of my old Twitter account being deleted for ’suspicious behaviour’ – My behaviour was suspicious because as I have linked my blog post feeds to my twitter account and the problem is that was that I have started updating my posts for 3 or 4 times so every time  a feed is posted on twitter for 3 or 4 times and thats why, Twitter does not allow duplicated tweets :(
This is a pain if you have thousands of real followers that you will never have access to again, My advice here is to bite your tongue as you’ll probably never get them back – Leave a comment if you know a way!
However, here’s how to reactivate your suspended Twitter username so that you can start your following again with your name ‘un-suspended’ lets start :

9 Easy Steps

  1. Realise you’ve been suspended
  2. Create a new account with a new random Twitter username
  3. Confirm the account by Email
  4. Log out of this account and log back into your suspended account
  5. Go to Settings > Accounts and change your suspended username
  6. You will be asked for your password. Enter it and then log out
  7. Log back into your new Twitter account
  8. Go to Settings > Account, change new username to the old suspended username
  9. Enter password again and voila, you’re sorted.
This is a great trick if you have a great Twitter name that you want to detach from one account and swap with another account. I wouldn’t recommend changing your Twitter username as it can often confuse your followers, especially if they are following you on 3rd party devices such as TweetDeck, TweetSpinner and won’t know that you’ve renamed yourself.
