I just wanted to post something quick in the effort to have the recently suspended @davedelaney & @pfanderson restored on Twitter. If you are on Twitter & are familiar/following one or both, please help these two massive Twitter supporters restored. The reason seems to be a TOS breach which is very strange. Dave blogged about it here and PFAnderson blogged here. Several other people were suspended/banned as well.
This is just not cool. I love Twitter, these guys have been using it way longer & more effectively than myself. Both of my questions posted to Twitter HQ have yet to be answered, as well as the posts on GetSatisfaction.com posted by the deleted people. If you have any info (other than saying “because of spam or spam links”), please contact me or the two above people. We are all on Plurk as well; I’m kristent on both Twitter & Plurk and their names are the same on Plurk as well. Thanks for your help!

Thank you, @Kristent, for your help and support! Perhaps this will be the event that turns Twitter around. They have a wonderful product and client base, but their real failing has been communication, even more than the instable platform and erratic service. I think those of us who love it and promote it would put up with a lot if they just had really solid communications about what was going on.

Same thing happened to me yesterday. Got up and tried to post and update to my Twitterstream only to see a message telling me this feature was unavailable to me. Now I can’t even log in and Twitter claims to have never seen my email address. I’m terrified that I will lose all of my followers! Please let me know if you’ve figured out how to resolve this issue! As far as I can tell, i have not violated the TOS in any way. Aack! So frustrating.
