X account of mine suspended permanently for being a fake account
Sept 22 2025 | me

My X account has been suspended for breaking X rules supposedly as being a fake account.

I have been on X since it was Twitter, since 2012. I have appealed it asking what I was being suspended for (I had not seen their email to me yet telling me they did it because broke their rules by setting up a fake account) but afterwards my husband looked up my name to see if they really did that and he discovered there is someone on X using my username.

He reported this person as a fake account but when it asked who is the person they are impersonating it would not accept my username, which he put in, be submitted. I am guessing because they suspended my account permanently and it does not bring up in a drop down menu my username which is how you would report it. The submit button was grayed out and that person, the real 'fake account' is still active on X.

This person, btw, put up a post asking to survey any Muslims who have acted badly and requested them to write him on X. I am stunned HE (there is a profile pic of a drawing of a man) is still on and not me. !

To get help from X you cannot write them anything, you must choose a series of categories. None of which you can 'explain' anything. I tried these categories and it says over and over you have already got an appeal in the que and wait for their response.

However I have read of ones who have waited months without a response. Meanwhile someone on their is operating under my name.

Does anyone know how to contact a person that is a staff member on X or part of the appeal process so I can explain this?

When I

“Just create a new username with a new account.”
Good advice, BUT...

Change your IP Address, too!
Is your IP ‘static’ or ‘dynamic’?
Dynamic can be changed; static can’t.
Write down your IP address.
((( Now I can’t remember how to find out the IP Address. Damn! )))
Unplug your router, wait 15 secs, and replug.
Wait until it resets and stops blinking.
Check your IP number.

He seems to have a lot of people who use the community rules or whatever to complain about peoples posts and they seem to only complain when the posts go against the left. I have noticed that.

They are though. With this quote from my art website, so it’s obvious they are.

“I paint scenes I feel to be uplifting to the soul through an encounter with beauty”.

I wasted too much time on x today throwing truth in lefty bot faces.

I’m suggest you find something else to do.

Can’t fix stupid.

My account is an anonymous one…it’s pointless.
If I put my name on it I’m afraid of lefty stalkers hunting me like a deer and then me putting a bullet between their eyes.
And then the hassles of putting the dirt back into my pre dug dead hippy holes in my yard with the backhoe.

I was not able to report because X would not accept your user ID since your account is suspended.

@suesuesbeo9 AND @SOS347685478025 appear to have the same user name, but @SOS34768547802 has made only 4 posts since 2024, and the older @barbcfineart/ has an older account with many posts but their account has been suspended. Can you check these account registration info to see who is really who?

“the older @barbcfineart/ has an older account with many posts but their account has been suspended”.

The older account with many posts is mine. I really don’t know how to check the account registration info for the other one but also since I am suspended I can’t do anything. I tried to write X but all I get is a ‘you are on the cue you’ll have to wait for our response’ thing and I looked up on the net to see how long that would be, and people are out there saying they’ve been waiting months to a year with no response.

I don’t know maybe I’ll be lucky and they will resolve it but I sure wish I knew an admin over there to write them.

All I could do is report for spam, which includes Fake engagement, scams, fake accounts, malicious links.

Router must be dynamic, and it changes w/ unplug-replug; static will not change, as it’s pre-set.

I was banned 6 years ago for being a Russian bot.

Note the timing.
