Hi.
So rather than posting a different thread for each of the problems I'm having, I've decided to inquire about both of my problems in one thread.
First problem: Can anybody that uses twitter give me some insight?
I've already lost 4 twitter accounts because of the same problem. They keep getting suspended because I "follow users aggressively". The first twitter I lost, I had no idea what they meant by that, so I said OK, it's best not to follow users until they follow you first.
By my second twitter, a user followed me, I followed them back and I instantly got suspended for it.
Third twitter? Same thing.
And now the 4th twitter? I don't even know the reason because this time I abstained from following anyone at all. Seriously, I held back even from following people back. It's like, OK, twitter doesn't want users to follow anyone apparently. What in the world? Do they want our timelines to be empty? What's the use of having a twitter at all if we can't follow anyone? I'm totally lost.
And I suspect I lost my 4th twitter because of something I tweeted, but the problem is they only go into specifics when one follows users aggressively according to them. Then they make you sign a promissory note (I don't know what else to call that) saying you won't follow users aggressively anymore, and then they unsuspend you but they take your followers and following away but the people's tweets stay in your timeline. I don't know what else to do. Does this mean new twitter users won't be able to follow anyone? If so what's the point? Why doesn't twitter just keep new users from signing up?
My other problem
The internet browsers I install on my computer keep disappearing! They appear in the Add/Remove programs list but they don't appear anywhere else on the computer. I try to use the search function to see if I can right click on the program when it finds it and the search function doesn't work at all. About a half an hour ago I had to find Safari on my Add/Remove programs and reinstall it just so it could open. This new browser Torch, the same thing. As soon as I installed Safari, it disappeared. I had to find it in the same place to open it, and it seems like I'm going to have to leave these browsers open all the time just so I can use them! I can't access them any other way! The only other two browsers I can use are Opera and Firefox. Internet Explorer 8 went to hell too. When I click on it, it opens, but then it closes in a lightning flash. What the heck is going on with my computer? Is my whole hard drive corrupted or just the Operating System? I was going to install Ubuntu, but if I'm still going to have these problems while using Ubuntu, then there's no use. I'm going to have to throw this computer out and borrow another one from somebody while I get my new one, because seriously, I am sick and tired. I don't know what happened to this machine when I installed the new Windows XP updates 3 weeks ago. It was working perfect until then. Seriously, Windows XP should just disappear from the planet.
Can anybody offer some help?
Thanks
