Twitter Caged


This isn't a rant. Not really.

A few moments ago, a RolePlay account that I follow got suspended. It's a great account. It's OOC (Out of Character) is a great Role Player. She followed all the rules and everything. She did not spam. She followed only a few people so there's no way that agressive following was the reason for suspension. There was controlled sex and violence on her timeline. And she had the adult warning #Roleplay 18+ on her bio, in compliance with the rules.

Which begs the question, why did it get suspended?

Twitter says that the support Roleplay, but how come those good RPers who do follow the rules still got suspended? So not cool, little blue bird.

There are lots of bullies and rule-breakers on Twitter. Also, there are many sex-maniacs and perverts and pedophiles who are using the social network to pleasure themselves. However, they don't get suspended at all. So not fair.

Here is her OOC statement.

"I work hard on my RPs. I develop a story & do my best to be entertaining. I have multi dimensional characters that I try to make relatable yet when I follow the rules, -I- get suspended & those accounts that exist to only have sex or bully still remain? It's not fair. Twitter rules say they support role players, yet, they pull this crap. I hate that they would pull this. I -refuse- to create a new main for Nala & I will fight as long as it takes to get @TwistedNala reinstated! ‪#FreeNala‬! Twitter, the RP community is the majority of the millions of accounts that you brag about. Do us a favor & stop screwing us over! We -ARE- Twitter!"

Same with my RL account. I got my Twitter account suspended last month. A Real Life account where I follow mostly bloggers and friends, and some news and entertainment accounts. I remember that day, I was simply checking the trending topics and tweeting a few witty tweets, then boom. I was caged. I didn't know what happened. I mean, it was a RL account. People who follow me knows that I don't curse. I don't say the F word. I don't have sex or any violence on my TL. And I follow only a few people.

*shakes head*

People who don't follow the rules get suspended. People who do follow the rules get suspended. Wow, Twitter. Make up your mind!!

    1. Yes. We're thinking that maybe some haters reported her.. I just hope she gets her account back. She's a really good RPer.

  2. There are plenty of Twitter accounts that shouldn't be, and plenty that should that get suspended. Sometimes I'm surprised I haven't been suspended yet. I'm so quiet though they've got no reason to. She sounded like a pretty good RP'er too, so I have no real understanding as to why they would do it. The only thing I could think of is that Disney told them to do it. There are plenty of satire/RP/fake accounts that get deleted because the "original owners" demand it. Even though satire is totally legal. It's very annoying.

    1. Actually, the whole #TwistedDisney family is thinking that.. maybe there are a few haters/bullies who reported the account. Just last week, there was RP drama. A lot of hate comments have been said. I think it all started when this one RPer from another group tweeted that she doesn't get the concept of Twisted Disney. Nala explained.. then one thing led to another.. and another. Then boom! RP drama..

      don't think Disney had something to do with it, though. There are lots of Disney accounts on Twitter And they're doing okay. It's just annoying that those accounts who were bullies and are just there for sex don't get caged.

      Aw, they won't suspend you, Mark. You're too awesome. :)

  3. Aww that really sucks because I know how much you enjoy your RP accounts! Hopefully it all gets sorted out.
