Who goes there?

Sorry, the account you were headed to has been suspended due to strange activity. Mosey along now, nothing to see here.

I already contacted Twitter supporter but haven't seen any response yet. But don't worry. It will be back soon.

Maybe you follow too many people.

If there is a long delay in response, I can try to help. Please let
me know if I can help.

Hi Gen, thank you so much.

I have submitted my request 9 days ago and haven't seen any response. It would be great if you can help us this case. Thank you again.

Ninh,

I am emailing with Ev of Twitter.

He would like to know:

Because I do not control the account, I do not know what the strategy
was for following.

Could you provide this information?

If we can make sure not to use following for attention gathering, I
think it will help us get this account out of suspension.

Please let me know,

Gen

Ok,

I believe the account will start working soon if not immediately.

PLEASE: do not follow others only because they follow this account.
Be conservative with the following. If we do not, the account will be
banned again.

Hi Gen,

Thank you so so much. You know, Vietnamese Twitter community is quite small. I think just about 1000 or more active users and almost in tech section. I tried to select carefully people that I think they may concern the event to follow but...actually it was like spamming. That's my mistake. So sorry. I will be more careful.

Ninh,

You're welcome. Now you know what behavior Twitter does not like.

If possible, please stop following everyone who does not already
follow @Barcamphanoi. It will help ensure that this account will not
be closed for spam again.

Thank you,

Gen
