Don't really give a flying fuck if you believe me or not to be honest.

You also, may want to read those rules as detailed here: http://support.twitter.com/entries/6...best-practices

What are the limits?

We don’t limit the number of followers you can have. However, we do monitor how aggressively users follow other users. We try to make sure that none of our limits restrain reasonable usage, and will not affect most Twitter users.

We monitor all accounts for aggressive following and follow churn (repeatedly following and un-following large numbers of other users). You can read more about these below, but if you don’t follow or un-follow hundreds of users in a single day, and you aren’t using automated methods of following users, you should be fine. Please note that the only automated following behavior that Twitter allows is auto-follow-back (following a user after they have followed you). Automated un-following is also not permitted.

Additional limits if you are following 2000 or more people:

The rules about aggressive following and follow churn still apply. In addition, every user can follow 2000 people total. Once you’ve followed 2000 users, there are limits to the number of additional users you can follow: this limit is different for every user and is based on your ratio of followers to following. When you hit this limit, we’ll tell you by showing an error message in your browser. You’ll need to wait until you have more followers in order to follow more users—basically, you can't follow 10,000 people if only 100 people follow you. When you reach a daily or total limit and we show you an error message, you've hit a technical limit imposed to limit egregious behavior by spam accounts and to prevent strain on the site. These are just the technical limits for your account; in addition, you are prohibited from aggressive following behaviors. These behaviors may result in account suspension, regardless of your account's technical ratio.

- Why don't you inform yourself better before you start running your ignorant mouth?

Aye, we know you can't follow 10,000 people and only have a 100 followers....you'll get a time out unless people complain, then you'll get a ban. This is to stop abuse, spammers, ect - not what your account did.

What you did was break the new account build time/ratios... Same shit that hit Charlie Sheen's account, and he didn't follow more people that followed him and he was put in time out.
