Well, I finally got an answer from Twitter, and got my account un-suspended.
It seems that the problem was the avatar I had, my profile picture on Twitter. It showed me and two girlfriends in the spa pool, after a couple of vodka cocktails, and you could see a nipple. Apparently it was pornographic.
It was my nipple, and I move in circles that don’t find nudity offensive, so I didn’t think twice about posting the picture. There are avatars on Twitter that are far more explicit (think wet camel toe pictures) than mine was, but as there was clothing covering the offending body part, they are deemed to be ok.
The thing that really gets my goat, is that their immediate reaction was account suspension, with no explanation, and a convoluted appeals process. An appeals process that took five days to get a response. This suspension automatically deletes your whole twitter network. You lose all of the people you were following, and all of those following you, as well as any subscribed lists. These are not reinstated with your Twitter account.
A better way to approach it would be to send an email, or even a fucking TWEET!! After all, they invented that concept didn’t they?
Something along the lines of “Your avatar violates our TOS, please change it within 48 hours or you will be suspended.” Simple. And I would have done it, and not lost the whole network. When you consider that the avatar is a thumbnail, and you would be looking for one nipple in a thumbnail with three people in it, someone worked fucking hard to get offended I think.
Can I put a picture of a giant rubber cock as my avatar do you think? I will probably play it a bit safer than that though…. Risquè, but not raunchy.
Love,
Chiquita
