Will I get banned for this on twitter? - Nobody - 11-09-2012 01:33 PM
I have a lot of celebrities following me on twitter and so I really REALLY don't want to lose my account.
I signed up for this thing to get more twitter followers for free, what I didn't know is that it makes you automatically follow like 80 people first.
So now I'm following 80 more people and I was only following about 30 people who were friends in real life or celebrities I have met.
My timeline is filling up with random useless tweets from these people I don't want to be following and I cant find the tweets from my friends.
I have 2,455 followers and I don't want to lose this account, will I get suspended or banned if I unfollow all 80 of these useless people it made me follow?
or should I wait a week or so?
The worst part is it only gave me about 20 more followers so I'm kinda regretting doing it.

Lol no you wont get banned. They can't chanted your profile other than that initial pop.

They can't ban you for something like this, the only thing they could possibly ban you for is using 3rd party software to increase the amount of followers you have.
What I would suggest, is unfollow every single person it made you follow, that would not only make it more safe for your account, but it would stop the useless, annoying tweets you are getting from randoms.
The agreement you made was against twitters ToS, meaning that whoever owns the agreement can't report you or else they'll just be punishing themselves, so don't worry about it, remove all the new people you are following and everything should be fine.
Best of luck.
