I would say so since you and half the people applying don't qualify. your bitcointalk profile needs to be full member or above to join the campaign for twitter. It's stated here pretty clearly
Rules :
This campaign is limited to 1500 participants.
Only twitter accounts with more than 1000 followers will be allowed.
Twitter campaign stakes ARE NOT distributed on a weekly basis.
Do not RT and like tweets that are answers to other users.
Do not post a Twitter report in this thread; we will analyze Twitter data on our own.
We reserve the right to not consider your twitter account eligible for this campaign, even if you meet the prerequisites.
You don't have to post reports in this thread!
If at the end of the campaign, you tweeted more than 2000 times since your registration date, some of your retweets may not be counted. The same rule applies for likes.
We won't accept participants that use Newbie, Jr. Member or Member bitcointalk accounts to list their twitter account. We will also remove you if your account is not active.
