These Twitter Accounts Were Suspended For No Reason & The Portland Community Would Like Them Restored

For an unknown reason, twitter has suspended @pdxpipeline and @pdxjobs (and others that have been used). @PDXPipeline has been a member of twitter since summer 07 and has been a good resource for Portland & worked hard to provide good Portland info and to grow the twitter community.

@PDXjobs was created to help people in Portland find jobs and has helped many people.

We have put in 1000s of hours into these projects and have received no profit for doing so. there is no way that twitter actively sought out these accounts to suspend. They both have gmails, have separate sites and are unrelated. Someone/some entity has done this (along with @pdxbikes @pdxevents @pdxeats @pdxtechjobs @oregonwine) for some nefarious reason and Twitter should not allow that kind of abuse of their system to happen.

These accounts are publicly related to PDX Pipeline and we have used them together to help provide different types of Portland information. We have other accounts that we use in other ways and are not publicly known to be related to PDX Pipeline. These still stand and yet share @pdxpipeline.com email addresses.

They stand because the people who did this, do not know about them. Those that were we related in #followfriday and retweets. There is no doubt that someone looking to remove us from twitter caused this for their own personal reasons. They have no integrity. They have abused the system.

Twitter should not allow its system to be abused like this b/c then we are all vulnerable to people without ethics.
