I was a little surprised to see I'd been suspended on Twitter the other day. Hadn't tweeted anything lately, and when I do, it's mostly headlines from TMP. The Twitter info said it was probably an 'automatic' suspension due to its AI, and that I could appeal. I appealed, and got a formal notice of suspension today. I'm totally perplexed. I don't post anything controversial on Twitter. Oh well… |

Twits run Twitter, so I find it rather unsurprising. |
| Editor in Chief Bill | 16 Oct 2019 8:02 p.m. PST |
No instructions for further appeal. They sent a link to The Rules, with no explanation which one(s) they think I broke… link |

Comments about arbitrary account suspensions for breaking unknown and/or highly subjective posting rules in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1….. |

I heard a joke on the radio. "An announcement from Washington. YouTube, Facebook and Twitter are going to merge into one company. It's going to be called YouTwitFace." |

How bizarre! All the things under "Safety" are, I thought, why people don't use Twitter. They were features not things to be avoided. |

Reminds me of being blocked in the Ultramodern forum here. Just happened with zero explanation. |

Is that Twitter "Dawghouse", or Twitter "Talking to Gwen"? |

The irony is something to savour😀 DBDD |

Did you say something nice about the U.S.? |

someone has made a complaint about you … it happens … |

Laugh? I nearly paid my mess bill! |
| Thresher01 | 17 Oct 2019 7:21 a.m. PST |
You do make a good point, Fitz. |

Could be collusion, Boss. |

Perhaps you misunderstood the rules. Do you understand what you did? You must admit you did something wrong even if you don't know what you did and promise you won't do it again. Whatever it was you did. Are we clear? |
| Editor in Chief Bill | 17 Oct 2019 12:54 p.m. PST |
I can't get Twitter to stop emailing me updates about what's new on Twitter, because suspended users can't change their settings… what a joke! |

Never go to Twitter, only FB and here … From what I see and have heard … Frakk Twitter … |

I will try to stay out of the dawghouse by referencing the first verse of the now rather famous and well known lyric from Ten Years After, "I'd Love to Change the World".
You will get the picture. |
| Old Contemptible | 18 Oct 2019 8:31 a.m. PST |
FB and Twitter, the Devil's work. Stay away from both. |

Wait, we weren't supposed to try to pick up Gwen? <sideways glance…> |

@Bigby Wolf I'm taken. My girlfriend is Filipina, too. :) |
| Bigby Wolf | 21 Oct 2019 6:12 a.m. PST |
@ninthdoc: Nope … try as I may, I just can't think of a comeback to that :-) |

#von Schwartz EiCB is the principle editor. He has a staff of people living in the Philippines who work as his back-up editors. There are apparently several, the number flexing based on activity. Gwen is sort of the principle/"first among equals." |
| Editor in Chief Bill | 24 Oct 2019 5:29 a.m. PST |
And BTW, who is Gwen? Editor Gwen, on staff here at TMP |
