About Suspended Accounts

In order to maintain a safe environment for users on Free Talk, we may suspend accounts that violate the Free Talk Rules. Common reasons for suspension may include:

Spam: Most of the accounts we suspend are suspended because they are spam, or just plain fake, and they introduce security risks for Free Talk and all of our users. These types of accounts are against our Rules. Unfortunately, sometimes a real person’s account gets suspended by mistake, and in those cases we’ll work with the person to make sure the account is unsuspended.

Account security at risk: If we suspect an account has been hacked or compromised, we may suspend it until it can be secured and restored to the account owner in order to reduce potentially malicious activity caused by the compromise.

Abusive Tweets or behavior: We may suspend an account if it has been reported to us as violating our Rules surrounding abuse. When an account engages in abusive behavior, like sending threats to others or impersonating other accounts, we may suspend it temporarily or, in some cases, permanently.
