I clicked to post a tweet and then got a strange error which said the following:
“This request looks like it might be automated. To protect our users from spam and other malicious activity, we can’t complete this action right now. Please try again later.“
But I knew I didn’t do anything wrong with it and I was sure that it was some Twitter glitch in the code.
Prior to this, my Twitter has also been locked. As long as I email to Twitter Support, it will always unlock my account, but this time my account is not locked, so Twitter Support's robot reply is“Use this link to change your password”,
I tried it, that is useless，I can't get real help from Twitter official. I can't contact them either. so I can only come here to ask for your help.
May I ask someone about similar experiences? How did you solve it?

There's a few things I can suggest to try to help you improve your experience when you're just starting out. I haven't been banned, but I do have a friend who I've been helping through this issue with. Your main problem is that your account is already flagged by another activity you're doing, so try the following:


- Link a phone number to your account.
- Do not follow more than 100 people in a day, unless a high percentage follow you back. Twitter recognizes suspicious accounts using a proportional response algorithm, so if you're following/unfollowing too many people at once, you will be flagged.
- Once you get to 5000 follows, you will not be able to follow anyone else unless you have a certain amount of followers - and that requirement is TIGHT. It will change depending on your ratio but expect somewhere around a requirement of 4800-4900 followers in order to break through that threshold.
- Because of recent twitter bot crackdowns, they have issued some kind of new recognition program that looks at tweets being massively retweeted by accounts that look suspiciously similar. This can be a problem if you're using the same hashtags as everyone else retweeting. Try switching up your comments on your RTs to make them something a little unique, so you look less like a spam bot.
- Tweet interesting articles and memes from somewhere else using hashtags in addition to bounty/airdrop/whatever retweets. You need to link your account to your desired audience or you won't get followers to meet the thresholds unless you become very skilled at finding follow trains.



These are the best suggestions I could think of, but if you have any other questions, hopefully I can help with those too!

Please give us an update when you figure it out, I had my account locked once as well, I think this might happen to me too.

I had a similar story.
I had an inscription that -your Twitter account was temporarily blocked. I sent the letters in support, and I was told that I had broken the rules and no longer needed to apply for support; (

I did what you said, I unfollowed those who didn't follow me, and now I can use Twitter as before, thank you very much, but for this I missed a lot of bountys for the last week.
I think it may be related to the recent Twitter's severe measures against ico and cryptocurrencies. For bounty hunters like me who need to retweet a lot of ico information, we need to be more cautious when using Twitter.
I have no merit now, otherwise I should give you a merit,sorry. :D
I would like to ask another question, who follows me now is 3224. and I follow is 4920.when can I exceed the limit of 5,000 followers,what do I need to do to have more followers faster?

The 5000 mark is the first very difficult threshold to overcome. You can follow roughly about 10% more people than what follow you. So this number varies from person to person but expect to be able to follow roughly 5500 people when you get to 5000 followers.

As for getting followers faster, try following 3 famous accounts a day. You’re likely to get on follow trains this way. Otherwise just post a few memes every week with hashtags relating to the community and make sure you have a #followback or #follow4follow tags in your bio. I’m still working through this part myself but if I figure anything else to help you increase your followers realitively easily, I’ll let you know.
