I am not getting notification of followers even though I have the correct email address set-up, checked the appropriate box and have checked my spam filters. Can this be corrected please? Thank you so much

Just to make you feel better I'll send you a heads up. I just started Twitter so I don't have anybody beating my blog door down to shout hey. Make it a good one Mike.:) -blubutterfly

No fix for the Flash badge, but I posted the beginnings of a work-around for the HTML badge here:

Any fix for this yet? The flash badge works fine in Firefox 2-3, but after the first page load in IE it won't load updates and displays the message "undefined."

Is there any badge that will work in IE??

Now it appears the New Follower notifications for spammers are coming through again. So does this mean that the experiment of suppressing these emails from known spammers is over?

Looks like notices are coming more frequently. I've gotten a few notices of new followers recently, all spammers. They always come right after I post an update. At least I can then block them.

Interestingly, Twitter is still doing nothing to block obvious abuse. The last follower I got was on someone who first posted less than an hour ago and was already following 4,111 people!

Great idea! I also like mdoeff's idea too. Twitter should so get that in their system. – Chris Thomson, on June 26, 2008 18:03

Grr!! Trying to follow someone (@aussietechhead to be precise) but it returns an error saying "Something went wrong. Please refresh the page & try again!"
I'm over it, and I really want to follow this person.
If it helps, I have previously been following this person but they seemed to disappear & now I can't re-follow them. I'm annoyed!

@familydoctormag, Good to know you got the email notification when I followed you. I'm not a spammer! Hurray! 8-) – mdy, on June 14, 2008 03:06

I'm still getting follower notifications via email when the person who follows me isn't a mass-follower. Afaik, Twitter only supresses email notifications when the user that followed you is already known to them to be a mass-follower.

As a test, I just followed you (@familydoctormag) using one of my accounts. It will be interesting to see if you get a notification email.

I know from other threads in this forum that Twitter flags for review any account that has been blocked by a lot of people, and I have no reason to believe that's not still the case.

It also looks like they will be soon (if not already) be enforcing limits in the number of follows, based on this new FAQ page that I saw recently.

Has there been any other answer to this yet, or is this still the policy? Why is there not just a cutoff number of people you're allowed to follow per hour? Secondary: If enough people mark you as a spammer, Twitter could look at your account to see if you are.

This system of hiding followers is both filtering out nonspammers and taking the control out of our hands. Please consider changing it--soon!

I also agree with David and GeekMommy - I'd like to know without having to page through, check the new follower's page, then block as needed. – pattigibbons, on June 12, 2008 00:49

Agree with David and GeekMommy. This is not a solution, it adds to the problem. – Scott Cranfill, on June 10, 2008 03:19

I like this idea. I would add one thing - a checkbox configuration to enable/disable this "spammer alert" email. – mdoeff, on June 08, 2008 20:37

You get e-mail when a non-spam account starts following you. I'll prove by following you ;-)

//edit: voila you got mail ;-) – ikkekietje, on June 08, 2008 19:38

I don't get notified of new followers either, but I can see my count growing. It's so annoying. I want to follow back the legit people.

O btw: You can go to http://dossy.org/twitter/karma/ and filter your followers to see only the people that follow you and you don't follow back, then you can see easily who's a spamfollower. You can bulk block. (site can have some problems 'cause of the twitter problems)
