Hi,

Since Twitter is starting/going to ban crypto ads like Facebook/Google, I would like to know if someone got his Twitter account banned doing airdrop or bounty?

If you got banned, can you tell what you were doing with the account, and how much volume did you tweet.

I do see quite a number of twitter accounts being suspended. However I do not think it is due to ban on crypto ads. I believe it is because those accounts exhibited suspicious activities or are being reported and therefore got suspended.

I didn’t join Twitter bounty but has been retweeting crypto related news. So far, there is no problem with my account. I believe the crypto ads ban only applied to paid advertisements.

I agree with you, Facebook, twitter, google forbid only paid contextual advertising, on your page you can write as much as you want about the crypto currency

I doubt they are banning accounts just because they are retweeting crypto related posts. They are only banning bot-like accounts and those are common on the bounty hunting scene.

I don't think so. there are so many Tweets and Retweet about cryptocurrencies. But I never heard accounts got banned because of the crypto related tweets. Not even on Facebook. For now, Facebook banned only crypto related advertisements. but still you can share crypto related posts. But there are some accounts got banned because of the huge amount of reshares. Once my friends account got banned. he shared more than 150 posts per day. So be careful when you sharing posts on facebook and twitter.

I don't see why would they ban you for tweeting/retweeting something. You don't have to be paid, maybe you support some projects and that's why you like/retweet those post. If they are going to ban crypto ads to my mind this means banning sponsored posts by crypto/ICO users/companies

Personally I think that twitter is more aggressive against bots accounts and which are being used automatically to post content over a period of time, for example, we see so many tweets from profile with referral links to Binance/etc with all Alts tagged there.

Such kind of accounts are reportedly taken down, apart from that, other crypto twitter accounts I think most are unaffected until n unless they are breaking any rule as in such to there policies.

Good friend of mine post crypto content on twitter actively, and so far he hasn't got any problems. Also I have not heard that someone got banned because they posted crypto content. So for now I think people who are not doing anything illegally or against the rules of Twitter are safe. But I would not be surprised if Twitter follow the read which Facebook and Google took.

mine is still active and kicking.. even though i use it for campaign

Those are sponsored accounts mate. Other normal twitter users account has been used for promoting ICO project and all not get deleted. This is applicable for the both twitter and facebook campaign workers as well.
There is nothing goes like banning on theses channel. If you have read the complete regulation pdf file on these both social mediums.
I advised you do not spread the fake and negative news towards the forum. Normal tele media does not have an single drop of knowledge about the cryptocurrencies. Simply vomiting out from the web fake news.

Heard from the users,that they are disabled because of the hastag of #ICO and #Cryptocurrencies that is why we need to avoid these hastags just to be safe because twitter seems to be hiding something from people,they didnt put those restrictions on their terms and conditions because they can ba sued for limiting the freedom of the people to speak.

I once saw this on a particular thread earlier this week and i think Twitter is banning accounts that are spamming with crypto post. They are only concerned about those accounts. I always partake in Twiiter crypto bounty and my account hasn't been blocked yet. Thanks

I heard someone say their account was banned because of doing a bounty, but I think they got it wrong and were likely banned/suspended for suspicious activities.

I think this ban applies to paid advertisement rather than individuals sharing bounty and/or airdrop campaigns.

I have two theories to this. I think that people who are trying to manipulate the market are actually making mass amounts oF bot accounts in order to get them banned on purpose. This way they can spread FUD about crypto and twitter going Nazi on all accounts that retweet crypto tweets.

People will panic, and a price crash will ensue. And that's the end goal. I do believe they'll try to pull oFF this same kind oF thing with the adsense ban.

My other theory is that people are just doing dumb things on twitter to test out whether or not they'll be banned For retweeting crypto things.

Lately I've noticed a lot of posts on the forum in which bounty hunters complain that their twitter accounts are suspended or even completely blocked. I think that this is because their owners are involved in a lot of bounty campaigns and send a huge amount of retweets for a short period of time that twitter automatically qualifies as spam.

I think they are only banning direct advertisements.  They will only ban a crypto-related account if it violates their sometimes vague terms of service. 

I also have a lot of posts on twitter regarding crypto and almost blocked but thank God I recovered. After that, i set with a minute or time interval  and its not encountered problem anymore. I've noticed when the post has no order or huge amount of post  it became spam.

It's hard to believe that Twitter, a social networking site, will be launching a new policy to prohibit the advertising of token sales/initial coin offerings (ICOs). According to the news, Facebook announced a ban in January, while Google said earlier this month that it will ban them  from June. My twitter account was suspended because of over retweeting crypto related tweets. I guest gab, a social networking site like twitter, will be suitable for cryptocurrency advertisers like me. What do you guys think?  :-\

Nope. You still can share anything related to cryptocurrency as you want on your personal twitter account. Twitter is going to ban all cryptocurrency ads not tweet about cryptocurrency so don't worry if you're going to tweet anything related to cryptocurrency or ICO project on twitter.

Well to tell you the truth @bitcoin account was frozen before but now on bitcoin news it's back, only few accounts are suspended because of the service abuse, but it's not ban doing bounty, I saw a lot of retweet of some coins I followed.

To my regret, about 5 days ago, Twitter suspended my account, without any explanation. I participated in 20 bounty companies. I had 14 thousand followers. Before this problem did not arise. I am writing in support of a letter asking to restore the account!

I'm going to go the other way and share my experience about it. I usually run up to 25 campaigns at a time and a day I get up to 20 tweets and 100 retweets, it's about cryptocurrency. And lock the account received only if you have added a lot of friends (about 250).

I got my Facebook account banned after 9 years of using. I got no warning only my account was banned with no possibility to recover. I have written to Facebook but they never replied to me. I have even sent documents as they ask to confirm my account but nothing can be done because this ban is permanent from what I see when I search in Facebook support and members comments. So watch out don't advertise ICO. I don't know for which exact campaign they banned my account I think for all of them because my facebook was fully crypto related for 4 years. I advertised ICO's, airdrops, bounties, etc. I think they should warn members and give them time to change their posting habits or even ask to delete or delete them by Facebook as unwanted content and not to ban immediately. Now I have problems with login on many pages where I used social media login or all connected account and so on.

I heard many of my friends get suspended but not banned for doing the bounty ads , maybe you should not do a massive retweet and tweets for a day , twitter can judge you as a spam content that will lead you to suspended.
When you get suspended , just try to contact the help in twitter , just hope they can release your account again in 2-3 days , when it pass 2-3 days , thats mean your account had been punished and you cant save it.

Personally, I have not had any problems with this, but this is the correct topic because if there are problems then I will seek a solution in this topic

Yes, I saw that news this will affect the new coming ICOs. Because most of the ICOs were doing the marketing on Social media and now both Facebook and Twitter Banned it will be hard for ICOs to do the marketing.

My friend got a banana when he was using twitter for bounty. But main problem was not a volume. Twitter often ban if you are using ANY sort of automatation, or your work looks suspicious and looks like robot. Less links in tweets/posts, different time intervals between tweets/posts/follow/friend, and NO AUTOMATATION even if its unfollowerstats or something simmilar, and everything will be fine.

I don't know if there are accounts that are already banned because of ICO sharing. In fact we are still continue doing our jobs in twitter campaign and i'm also active in some airdrop  affiliations too. Maybe these are all possible because the banning of Crypto currency advertisement will take effect on June so i think we will just wait for this month to come and see what will going to happen next.

In the last days I have read several times about some suspended or banned account, the problem is to understand if they have been suspended due to the crypto ads or for some other reason.

They only banning crypto paid ads you can do whatever you want on your own profile promote ICOs Retweet Share they wont do anything about your account unless you do some illegal things on your account that againts the rules of twitter like bot spamming that they can detect that makes your account suspended.

I think this is only for paid promotion. As in they will not accept companies wanting to advertise on Twitter. Because of the possibilities of scam. It won't affect Twitter bounty campaigns.

so far my twitter account is safe, I follow about 20 bounty twitter and retweet/like every day, there may be other factors that make the twitter account suspend and I think during normal account activity and not spam, the account will not be suspended.

I think is different between ads and personal tweet.
Ads is paid service, and personal tweet is not. We are not advertise, but we just twitting.
And till now I don't hear twitter account got banned because posting about crypto

correctly. both on twitter and facebook about crypto is still allowed. even bounty for social media & broadcasting twitter and facebook also still persists. only ads that were banned because they consider as just something that bothers only.

Twitter's ban on crypto-related ads will have a long-term impact on the ICO's promotion of Social. And if, while participating in the bounty, your Twitter account is locked, I think the bounty manager will count the skates to the time the account is banned, and the banned Twitter account is personal tweet about the crypto this time I think it's okay because Twitter just banned the use of their advertising tools to advertise on cryptocurrency only.

Hoping they will not banned crypto, no more ocial campaign if this happen. What will gonna happen to our campaigns, so sad..
But as of now i still can post to twitter and Facebook, maybe they banned not all only scammed project.

Hello. I actively use crypto content there. And many subscribers also do - there were absolutely no problems.

I doubt Twitter and Facebook will ban cryptocurrency advertising. What is the difference that I'll post on your page! For paid advertising can block your account. Incidentally the last time Facebook too picky to account! Any changes lead to ban!

The accounts themselves are most likely blocked because of spam, when 100 reposts a day, no posts and all this in a short period of time. The bot is more likely to weed out such suspicious activity. I think this is correct, because the sense of such accounts - 0 .

It is possible that twitter suspends only obsessive and aggressive user actions, treating messages as spam. I did not encounter difficulties in social networks, with the blocking of my account, but after I noticed numerous user locks, I became more careful with what I present to my readers.

hopefully not banning personal accounts but rather bots and marketing accounts.

Go Green!

Indeed a lot of twitter account users who follow the campaign but so far I rarely join the bounty twitter, Lots of unnatural activities resulting in banning and twitter accounts affected by the ban may have received previous warnings.

I have not yet seen that twitter blocked the user page. I kind of heard that it is forbidden to use certain hashtags when writing your own posts, as they are blocked.

It depends on how you do it, you need to do everything with your head and study it. What they want to block, of course, is not correct.

Twitter just ban crypto ads. They didn't ban account, because users don't violate any rules

Is this research, rhetoric or personal! For twitter is not banning crypto users or everything crypto, just ads and exceptions must be only those adhering to some violation or spam.

They never said they'd ban crypto users - just ads. ;D

But yeah the spammy ads are something no one will miss so.

For now I also have a lot of posts on Twitter regarding crypto and almost blocked, but lucky I recovered. So, I set with a minute or time interval and its not encountered problem anymore. I've noticed when the post has no order or huge amount of post it became spam.

I think there are only interested in banning ICO and that is why most of the bounties are telling hunters not to hashtag ico,  buying or investing on their tweets. So the ban will not affect your individual account.

At the first look to this news It may seem bad.But this will avoid fake cyroto ads and There will be no reason for people to lose their confidence to cyrpto market

Let's just say. If you invest in the ICO then of course it will be very bad. But on the other hand, such bans affect the ecosystem of the crypt, because they do not allow fraudsters to collect money for projects.                  

But for the forum people. I believe it is a good move. Because the ICO owners are looking to promote the project on various places so in that meanwhile bounty earners who ever using their personal profile to get some token may get help from this.
I have read various people says ban is only for the sponsored channels only.
We may find the better in the marketplace if newbie cannot come here to compete us.

Maybe they are scared for their users to encounter scammers. That's why facebook and google also banned ads for ICO projects. I think this is a good signal. They worry us, they protect our money

The fact that Twitter blocks advertising ICO does not mean that it completely refuses to discuss or place publications on crypto-currencies

Yes I have twitter and joining some twitter bounties. But I didn't got banned by retweeting and tweeting about ICO and cryptos. I believe that you won't banned unless someone reported you doing malicious like scamming / fraud or anything that was against twitter rules.

Doing some twitter bounties like retweeting and tweeting is was not against the rules of Twitter. So, if you are scared to got banned by joining and doing twitter bounties. Don't be afraid as long as you don't commit crime and breach the rules of twitter :)

I don't think so.

I have only posted on my wall and in my group never spammed anybody, etc. My account was not suspended only banned with no possibility to recover. Contacted support and they don't want to tell why exactly my account is closed. They don't have to do that and this is stated in the rules.

I just stopped to use this shitty centralized social media platforms and started to use blockchain decentralized ones. Lately, there is plenty of them and already started or running an ICO.

I am still seeing Bitcoin closed groups in Facebook and it was almost 2 months or 1.5 months after that announcement was made. I think it is being planned yet whether they truly banned it for good. Maybe they're basing those bans on user's report first and not entirely ban all those ads that are crypto related.

twitter ceo praised bitcoin and by next day again he banned crypto ads taking the same stand like google and facebook no social media can ban crypto ads they are on strong market reputation we should have decentralised social network in coming future

I never saw any case where a Twitter account was banned just because of doing retweets of airdrops or ICO. Twitter can banned accounts for spamming with dozens of links from airdrops but that is a totally different thing because they bann those accounts for spamming not because they are twittering airdrops.
There are hundreds of accounts from airdrops but no one them was banned. Why do you think they didn't banned them? Because they respect the rules, don't post links that are not allowed and they are not spamming.

I have read about people complained about their twitter accounts banned, but i have not experienced it. It do both airdrop and bounty campaign and most times, i tweet and retweet large volume of tweets. Yet i do not understanding why and how the accounts of some users get banned. Perhaps twitter is gradually setting out to ban accounts related to ICO. Who knows?

My Twitter account was banned last week for 24h after a simple ICO retweet
