Account Blocked by TwitterDub

Post by RootCause »

One of my Twitter accounts is currently blocked by TwitterDub, not by Twitter. I logged into Twitter this morning with the TwitterDub blocked account and everything is working fine.

The person in this thread seemed to have a similar problem: viewtopic.php?f=30&t=3485

I created new Auth Key and Auth Secret, placed them into TwitterDub for the blocked Twitter account. The account is still blocked. Every time an action fires on the account, it fails: https://www.dropbox.com/s/7kwa750xxolyf ... 6.png?dl=0

How do I fix this so that the Twitter account in TwitterDub functions properly again?

Thank you.

twitter sent you a warning about over using the key. so TD will try and protect your account. It is completely different to the account using the site. It is a block on the API key, not a block on the site.

But you can remove it if you want (not recommended) via the accounts details popup for that account.

There might also be a bulk right click method - not sure on that though

What do I do now? How do I unblock it?

yes I was referring to:

The fact it worked in the website doesn't matter.

Creating a new API key, whilst you have a block and getting back to what you were doing that got you a block is not recommended. Let the block expire.
What do I do now? How do I unblock it?
As stated:

check advanced box, then you can see the block date, delete it

I don't know.

It will tell you on the account popup form for that account

There is no pop up. I highlight the account but there is no pop up. I put the cursor over the account title, over the x in the Failed Last Login column, the x in the Suspend column, and the date in the Blocked column. No pop up.

How do I find out when the block will expire?

I stopped using TwitterDub for about four weeks to let the account blocks expire.

I just tried to use accounts on TwitterDub whose account blocks had expired. The accounts are still blocked:
Processing: https%253a//twitter.com/********** max: 386
*** Pre Search Setup***
Checking account: ********
* CANCELLED: due to account block: 7/23/15 1:01 AM
* CANCELLED
Cancelled
The account blocks expired weeks ago (as you can see above) but my accounts are still blocked. Why?

How can I start using these accounts again?
