Faites le test vous même : si vous essayer de suivre le compte Twitter @Dress_Me, celui-ci vous répond : « User has been suspended« .

Ainsi, ce compte ne sert à rien ni à personne, puisque son propriétaire semble en avoir abusé au delà des recommandations Twitter.

Du coup, à la création de notre compte, nous avons dû choisir un autre compte, soit @Dress_Me_Fr.
Mais puisque ce compte ne sert pas, pourquoi ne pas essayer de le récupérer.

Après plusieurs essais suggérés mais infructueux, nous sommes passés par le support de Twitter, qui nous répond, en gros, qu’ils ne gèrent pas ce genre de demande.

Je ne sais pas si on s’est bien expliqué avec eux, mais franchement, on les trouve un peu lourd : c’est pas la mer à boire ce que l’on demande…
Si vous avez d’autres idées pour nous permettre de recouvrer ce compte, nous sommes preneurs.

Voici ci-dessous, l’ensemble de notre correspondance avec eux (à lire de bas en haut…):

Ticket #874969: recovering the account « dress_me »

Hello,

Twitter is only releasing usernames in cases of trademark infringement. We do plan on bulk releasing all inactive/suspended usernames in the future, but have not yet set a time frame for doing so. For more information about Twitter’s policies regarding trademarks, please refer to the following support page:
