Re: Twitter has suspended my two favorite accountsâ¦
That’s a worrying development.
But do you mean posted photos(as in under Photos/Videos) on your Twitter page?
Never had any issues with Twitter at all. Never heard of anything like that before. But two around the same time? That does make you wonder… But so many Twitter uses post nude and hardcore stuff though.
Could it not be because they have broken some other terms or Twitter policy other than nudity/hardcore?

No, I mean the parts that show up in people’s timelines - the avatar and the new profile header pic (which you haven’t set up yet). I think the problem is that someone who’s generally NSFW (let’s call them @XRated) might have a tweet that’s completely safe for work (e.g. “Sarah Palan is a moron - look at what she just did⦔). If that tweet gets retweeted by a “clean” / safe for work account (let’s call them @GRated) the avatar shown in the timeline is the one from @XRated. So suddenly an x-rated pic could show up in the timeline of a follower of @GRated without warning (we’ll call them @EasilyOffended). OR, let’s say @XRated’s avatar is fine, but a their profile header pic is x-rated. Now when @EasilyOffended clicks to learn more about @XRated s/he will see a porn pic unexpectedly in the profile preview. Again, a problem. Now I think, presumably, Twitter won’t care if @EasilyOffended is dumb enough to click through and goes to @XRated’s full profile. @EasilyOffended probably can get some clue that they don’t want to go there by looking at the profile preview, and if s/he does go there, at least Twitter can restrict access to the media section. And if Twitter is really worried about the click-thru they could put a warning dialog on the link to the full preview.
At least that’s my elaboration of Blue Bailey’s theory. It makes some sense and in the absence of a better theory it’s the one I’m moving forward with.
Re: Twitter has suspended my two favorite accountsâ¦
I followed Dolf as well and don’t recall seeing anything particular “off” about his Twitter feed.
I didn’t follow the other guy, but a couple of possibilities spring to mind. Twitter has a couple of rules:
If a large number of people are blocking you;
If a large number of spam complaints have been filed against you;
Perhaps someone found the 565 loads offensive and went on a campaign to get his account shut down. (We don’t need to launch into a huge debate on whether taking 565 loads up your ass in a month is offensive or not. Some people will find it so, others will think it’s great.) But getting hundreds of people to log complaints with Twitter sounds like a tactic someone could use to try and get Twitter to apply either of the above rules.
I have no idea if such things are possible, but I wouldn’t be surprised.
I saw a YouTube video of some woman claiming Instragram banned her page simply because she had a pic of her bum in underwear and her large cheeks were hanging out the sides. Instagram decided that was pornographic and violated community standards, but after she published the YouTube video, Instagram reversed it.
Bjorn, they’re not talking about pornographic pics in your timeline, they’re talking about your avatar or the header picture at the top of your Twitter page.
Re: Twitter has suspended my two favorite accountsâ¦
And there it isâ¦
Pornography: You may not use obscene or pornographic images in either your profile photo, header photo, or user background.
Thank god I learned that lesson before getting my account shut down!
Can you guys give me an opinion on whether my header photo on @rawTOP, @Studio3X and @MachosCalientes would be considered “pornographic”. Nothing is showing, but stuff is clearly happening in the pics. Do you guys think those pics will get me in trouble?
(I’m still working on a new avatar for @rawTOP - that’s my old one and it looks like crap, I know…)
Re: Twitter has suspended my two favorite accountsâ¦
They seem okay to me, but I’m not Twitter. I had my paysite’s Facebook page deleted because someone was touching their nipples.
Why push the envelope? This isn’t a place to make a point. Why not just make those images completely “clean”? Or maybe just don’t have any images at all until a clearer picture emerges.

If you’re worried I’d definitely change @rawTOP. The header image shows cock & cum after all. The others I wouldn’t personally consider pornographic. The right (or wrong) person at Twitter may think otherwise though.
Re: Twitter has suspended my two favorite accountsâ¦
Something else to consider is at what point someone mentally “fills in the blanks” about the image. Two guys are kissing – ok, my mind says “that is probably going to lead to more, but I don’t see that yet.” But where two guys are obviously naked, have their legs wrapped around each other in the cock zone … mentally I’m adding “they are having sex.” and that could possibly get you flagged for being pornographic, again, it depends on who is doing the reviewing of the image.
Re: Twitter has suspended my two favorite accountsâ¦
Wow, this sucks. I never thought we’d be having this conversation.
I think I’m in the clear as far as my avatar goes. Although it is a bit risque as a cartoon. Hmm. I will have to look into that.
Thanks for the heads up rawTOP and good luck with things.
Re: Twitter has suspended my two favorite accountsâ¦
What image are you looking at? The current image has a little cum on the guys pec, but that’s all it shows, and it’s a little difficult to figure out it’s cum unless you know. I thought it was pretty safe.
Re: Twitter has suspended my two favorite accountsâ¦
not exactly related, but just wanted to say I love that header you used. Looks very good.

Geez, how did I miss the dick? On my browser it’s covered by the avatar, but somehow I just didn’t see it when selecting and cropping the image in the first place.
I just Photoshopped the dick out of the picture. Thanks for the heads up!
Re: Twitter has suspended my two favorite accountsâ¦
I see Dolf’s page is back, but gangbangboi is still suspended.
rawtop, any news on why Dolf got unsuspended?

Probably the x-rated avatar / profile header. Not sure.
Re: Twitter has suspended my two favorite accountsâ¦
The rules haven’t changed but I think Twitter is monitoring accounts more actively now.
Fuckermate got their account suspended, too.
Re: Twitter has suspended my two favorite accountsâ¦
Question⦠Do you think a header image like this would cause problems with the censors at Twitter?
[URL=“https://twitter.com/OralPigs”]
I mean is that all that different than the scene in All About Mary? OK, it’s a bit more explicit, but it’s technically not pornographic, and Twitter is a lot more tolerant than most of the other sitesâ¦

To be on the safe side I wouldn’t use it.
We had a couple of feeder profiles(pushing the boundaries with the headers but no dick etc) suspended a couple months ago - fine they give you the opportunity to clean things up, but do you need the hassle?
Ever since then I make sure all headers and profile pics are compliant. Doesn’t affect the amount of followers or RTs anyway.
Edited to say - once you have been suspended said profile is on the “watch list”. Our images got resized(apparently larger NSFW images can get resized, who knew) and all kinds of crap. So, again, not worth the hassle IMO.
Re: Twitter has suspended my two favorite accountsâ¦
So are there an agreement, it’s only headers that can be a problem if they are explicit?
Re: Twitter has suspended my two favorite accountsâ¦
The same goes for avatars and backgrounds. Only the images in the actual tweets can be explicit.

I think you should be okay, but I would go with another header just to be safe. This is looking for the line between what’s acceptable and what’s not. Once they decide the header is not acceptable, there is no room for discussion anymore.
Re: Twitter has suspended my two favorite accountsâ¦
I think this is covered above, but it’s headers and avatars.
