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?

for me, i can't even send updates via text!!! it stopped abruptly on Saturday!!
i don't think its my provider's problem because they show that the message has been sent!!

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

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

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.
