Pompliano Twitter suspended: Know the rules

The popular social media, as part of its way of maintaining sanity on its medium, already has laid down rules to be obeyed by users of the medium. The social medium, however, reserves the right to suspend user accounts that contradict laid down rules of the popular media.

Part of rules usually flaunted by users that leads to accounts being suspended is spamming.  Several accounts that get suspended according to Twitter are seized because they are spammy, or they happen to be fake, thereby posing security issues for the medium and its entire users. However, in cases where real personal accounts get suspended mistakenly, the medium ensures it works with such users to fix the problem.

Another cause for account suspension is suspicion of hack or compromise of an account. Such accounts are suspended until they are restored to the real owners. Also, accounts that have been reported to violate Twitter rules like abuses are suspended, or when they begin insulting, threatening, or impersonation leads to suspension of the account.
