Twitter Lockouts

[#1]

Hi Team!

Please report any Twitter Lockouts below whether or not you are auto-retweeting with the Team or using EtsySocial. Tracking what's happening will be helpful to finding a solution.

In addition, I will be working with our app developer, to see if it is something the app is doing that's triggering the lockouts. And of course, if anyone has any ideas, please feel free to share!

Thanks Team!
Clarissa

Yes, I got locked out also. I've deactivated the retweet option and disconnected my Twitter account from Etsy Social.

Wow that was fast!...{sigh}...thanks Jan, for letting us know.

Okay so this is a possible plan b...

Currently, EtsySocial automatically tweets our items that we have featured on our EtsySocial page. And right now, the shops on EtsySocial are us.

What if we keep it that way, making EtsySocial strickly just us and then instead of retweeting a Twitter list we all just retweet our EtsySocial Twitter.

I'm thinking that will somehow create a small foot print on twitter. Rather that all of us retweeting each other, all of us retweeting EtsySocial.

I would have our developer make the necessary changes but what do you all think?

Since my earlier post I unclicked the activate option but left my tweets and retweets in place. So far so good. No lock out yet.

Got to be honest I don’t quite ‘get’ your plan b Clarissa but as you know I’m not very techie minded.

On the up side I actually got a sale today! Yeeha!

The first day I was only retweeting team members on Etsy social and everything worked well. Second day I retweeted team members and my product tweets and I ended up getting locked out on Twitter. I was only able to auto tweet for two days. I deactivated Etsysocial again.

I’ve kept going and as long as I don’t check the automation box I haven’t been locked out. But my old deleted posts are being auto tweeted again. please can you remind me how to stop this? Thanks Clarissa.

Locked out as of 11am uk time. I have deactivated my Etsy social for the time being. Such a shame as it was working so well and bringing increased visits. Although I’m never sure if any of these are ‘real’ potential customers or just us visiting each other!

I have been locked so many times, I have given up. Let me know when it is fixed - I do not want to lose my twitter account.

Ok let us know how we are promoting now. Are we just meant to be manually retweeting or what?
