I don't think I am permanently banned but it won't let me delete the tweets etc... it won't let me past the email sent for verification so I think I am screwed
Funnily enough I think one of the offending tweets was before the new rules....someone has been trawling through my timeline...well at least it stops them trying to get into women's spaces eh?

In a "you couldn't make it up" moment, twitter has banned a trans person for misgendering themselves.

KindOfAGeek · 27/11/2018 18:43

Anchor rumor, as posted on certain botters sites is they are, no they're not, your VPN just sucks, hey you did it wrong.....

So. Don't know.

It shouldn't effect your work computer, unless you work for a small employer.

Other rulez for twitter: if you intend to tweet about controversy, anon throwaway account connected to a separate email.

Mute the word "terf" and don't use pronouns on your main account. Block and mute hot and heavy.

Yes I see the fm fall out, as much as I don’t find any common ground whatsoever with Hetty (I avoid) they was only one that I see that called fm up on the abuse, the rest are all to keen on resharing doxxing posts and taraget reporting.

I try not engage anymore as waste of energy prefer block button so I just comment of stuff from people I follow or post odd random rant.

The reporting of inappropriate material is never ending though, I’ve never felt urge to prove my womanliness by posting proactive pictures of myself especially including collection of sex toys to anyone from age of 13yrs to view. Twitter doesn’t care these TRAs don’t care.

Danaquestionseverything · 27/11/2018 12:21

The fmst0mp account is interesting. I'm not on twitter but you can see stuff without having a login. Not appearing to get much likes/retweets, which is surprising considering the usual groupthink mo.

What I've observed recently is that they have had a falling out with hettysp00n and another account I can't recall, over them both calling out stompy for loosely based (muh cousins) threats against Debbie Hayton. They (stompy) were @ing a lot of TRA's accusing the others of being traitors/snitching to t3rfs, with it appears not much response.

Another really weird tweet apologising for effectively (I'm paraphrasing here) overstepping for inappropriate comments? maybe? in some sort of chat. Of course they claimed were going to take a twitter break, time frame of which is probably equivalent to the average LM break. Funnily enough they didn't seem to receive the usual outpouring of love and ego boosting comments.

I think perhaps some TRA's are attempting to distance themselves from some of the more "out there" ones. Whether a new tactic or miraculous self awareness, time will tell.

I got a 12 hour ban for the same 'offence'. It took me a week to get back in for the same reason as you. In the end I used my laptop to sign in and it worked.

AnchorDownDeepBreath · 27/11/2018 11:06

Twitter has stopped using IP bans - are they back to that?

Most corporate accounts wouldn't be affected; as long as they're big enough to have been verified. As the verification scheme is currently paused, that could cause some issues down the line if we are back to IP blocks...

drspouse · 27/11/2018 10:53

Hmm where one is tweeting from work (not that I'd ever do that) then obviously one's work IP comes up and if one works for a very large organisation would they prevent all new signups from that organisation? Including e.g. corporate Twitter accounts?

KindOfAGeek · 27/11/2018 10:24

Clicky link for that first one:

KindOfAGeek · 27/11/2018 10:22

NB: FMStomp was permabanned under a different account - I helped to get that account banned, FYI, and the ban was for "using multiple accounts for hateful purposes".

Permabans may block your IP address. Hackers and botters, like FMStomp, get around this by changing the address, or so I am told. They also, I'm told, set up multiple free emails, that they use to verify new accounts, and never give their phone number.

I am told they do this to reassign their computer's address:

Click Start->Run, type cmd and press Enter.
Type ipconfig /release at the prompt window, press Enter, it will release the current IP configuration.
Type ipconfig /renew at the prompt window, press Enter, wait for a while, the DHCP server will assign a new IP address for your computer.

Plus:

I am also told they use VPN's to reset or hide the public address, although you can turn off your router for 24 hours, but I am told that hackers and trolls have used this so often, there is a risk your provider may ban you.

This apology is intended to be received in the same spirit of maturity as it was demanded of us.

Agree Bowl They don’t comprehend women are very resourceful. When it comes to me I very forgiving, well Beryl was but when it’s others I will stand firm.

If I was tech savvy I’d start my own version of twitter. Maybe a twitter strike

AnyOtherPerson · 27/11/2018 09:02

I have 10 fewer followers than I had a couple of days ago. Backdating new rules is plain wrong. Trawling back through my timeline to delete is difficult (and I can’t see back more than six months) but if they can just search and find any tweet that breaks Twitter’s ridiculous new rules, then there’s nothing anyone can do to protect themselves.

One thing though, when I see all the shit that’s going down in the US and how far women in the UK have brought this discussion into the light, I’m glad to be British... and that’s something I haven’t felt in a while.

Bowlofbabelfish · 27/11/2018 08:36

why will companies continue to use it if audience is restricted.

Hmmmm.... who do I want to market my goods to? Mums and women who do the bulk of the shopping each week and spend thousands a year on stuff, who tend to sort the house insurance and the holidays and the kids clothes, and their clothes, and toiletries, and the car insurance and the catfood and the nappies and the new sofa.

Or TRAs - tiny in number and with a penchant for grifting?

Tough choice. But at least getting lumbered with the wifework has an upside, eh? Women control where 70p in the pound spent on the British high street/supermarket goes.

WE are your customers, lovely advertisers.

My boycott list has been a little painful (no more soft soft M and S babygrows, alas) but I will vote with my wallet. You fuck women over, you get not a single penny more from the House of Bowl. And that includes giants like Unilever who seem to be on board with this - I know you manufacture almost everything but I’ll drop every single product I can.

Funnily enough the peadophilic tweet was deemed not to go against the rules...

I will try the private browser trick thanks

I have had a bog standard message this morning saying I am a nasty person and I should take my punishment and shut up

Here is their message and my response. I have had to block stuff out because....😳

So I am banned - fuck it

I think I am actually proud for getting banned, seeing the company I am in. Not sure if that was the endresult Twitter was looking for.

I guess it hasn’t occurred to Jack that once he eventually banned all these tweeters that don’t obey cult then why will companies continue to use it if audience is restricted.

I used it a lot of that purpose under my real name.

Maybe Jacks silence is due to the awkward past events of Dana McCallum a Twitter engineer

sackrifice · 26/11/2018 21:42

I must say, that Original Conatus News tweet with the "Missing" on a carton was a stroke of genius.

Wasn't it just.

wrongsideofhistorymyarse · 26/11/2018 21:26

I've mentioned him severance times but no hashtag. I must have flown under the radar for now.

WombOfOnesOwn · 26/11/2018 21:06

Maybe it'd be easier to present evidence of men being pedophilic if we weren't banned and suspended for displaying it.

MrsScamander · 26/11/2018 21:04

traceyracer there are screenshots of messages JY sent to young girls in a Makeup group on Facebook-messages asking if it's ok for JY to help 10 year old girls put tampons in and asking how JY can bond with girls in the toilets.

I would post them but I'd probably get banned. Pretty damning in my eyes.

traceyracer · 26/11/2018 20:55

If you're going to publicly label someone as "pedophilic" I hope you have evidence to back that up. It's a very serious allegation
