Twitter (X) help needed
Posted: Mon May 27, 2024 11:12 am
by ClaretTony
I went onto the Up the Clarets Twitter account this morning and was forced to put in a date of birth. Not wanting to put in my own, I opted for 21/1/2016 which is the date this site launched. The account was immediately locked because Twitter is only available to people over the age of 13.
I've appealed it, but got nowhere with that. I've submitted proof of age, but got nowhere with that.
Can anyone offer any help or suggestions?

CT have you been on the help centre through the app?
I’ve circled this box which has FAQs in there and another option “access your account”
Might be worth having a fiddle through these if you haven’t already.
Attachments are back to front sorry.

I can’t even get there. Totally blocked now so can’t even access any help pages.
All I get now is the page below. The form they refer to is not a form at all but a requirement for a parent or guardian to authorise it. That was done but has been rejected.

I hardly use it, but this came up on a search, no idea if it would work though...

I have no access so can't change anything. That's the issue I have.

And the form tells me I have to provide parental consent - that has been refused. I have nowhere else to go.

Had a search and found this, but it doesn't make much sense.
How can you log in to a locked out account?
(I don't use X, so not familiar.)
Log in to your locked out account.
Go to this form:
https://help.twitter.com/forms/locked?u ... ncorrectly. It's for the third option, "I entered my date of birth incorrectly," which also seems to have the most success in getting unlocked if you choose this option on the form originally.
Submit an ID which has a birth year that would make you older than 13 at the time you created your account.

It won’t let me logout to set up another account but won’t allow access to the links others have provided now on this thread unless I login to it but I am logged in.

try accessing it through either the app on your phone or on your computer - whichever one you haven't got. That way you HAVE to log in, might get you access to the links. If you use both, then use an incognito mode in google as that will not have any of your sign in details saved.

You're only logged in because of a cookie. Delete the cookie and you're automatically logged out
If you can't find the exact cookie then just delete them all and re-login to all your other accounts

I’ve now been able to logout of Twitter and I’ve been able to login to an account that at least I can use for viewing. But there seems to be nothing I can do about the UTC account.
That’s on my phone using the app as well as on my laptop.

Try and login on your laptop, but before you do clear your cache
Top right hand corner of Google Chrome, you see 3 dots. click this
Then CLEAR BROWSING DATA
Then select CACHED IMAGES AND FILES
Then CLEAR DATA
Then login to X again

Retweet a few tweets from the old account so people not seeing this on here will see the new profile on there

Ahh right, I thought they had just blocked you from logging in not fully removed it.

I was informed that it was blocked but there is no trace of it and if you are on there it says the account doesn't exist.

On the positive side, you'll be old to enough to access it again in 2029.

You mean all these women who keep following me aren’t real?!
Not having that, my intermittent posting of all things burnley is clearly showing them what an alpha male I am.

Tell me about it, I had to put a date on so just put the start date for the site which seemed logical. Gone immediately with a form to appeal it which would take 72 hours. Nothing now in over four days and you cannot communicate with them in any way. Any attempts and the reply comes back that the case is now closed.
No option in the end but to start again.

Sorry to hijack the thread.
But I have blocked half the accounts on the TwitterClarets hash tag, that keep spamming.
The trouble is next time I go on the hash tag all the accounts are visible.
How do you sort?

Tony, on your user page, you need to update the twitter link to the new one.
