Welcome to Hell! \ud83d\udd25\ud83d\udd25\ud83d\udd25 Please say hello to our first Rogue Pro Tweeter @s8n. It only cost us our soul to get him onboard.#GoRogue pic.twitter.com\/k0O1Aktqht\u2014 Rogue (@RoguexOfficial) January 28, 2020 News of the ban started circulating on January 30 when many users noticed that they could no longer access the account\u2019s page from the Rogue tweet about the takeover. 100 Thieves The Mob member \u2018Avalanche\u2019 tweeted out \u201cdamn, they took s8n,\u201d along with a screenshot of the song \u201cFeds Did a Sweep\u201d by Future. Speculation has been rife about why the popular Twitter account was suspended. \u2018Mako\u2019 tweeted out a screenshot allegedly from the creator of the account, which seemed to reveal Twitter had disabled the parody account for \u201cviolating rules against platform manipulation and spam.\u201d This is what they got @s8n for\u2026wonder if he\u2019ll get it back \ud83d\ude33 pic.twitter.com\/THWHReihlD \u2014 mako (@Mako) January 31, 2020 \u201cYou may not use Twitter\u2019s services in a manner intended to artificially amplify or suppress information or engage in behavior that manipulates or disrupts people\u2019s experience on Twitter,\u201d the statement says. According to SocialBlade, the s8n account has only 7,452 tweets to its name over its 12 years on the platform. However, platform manipulation could also apply to \u2018alt accounts\u2019 like the 220,000 follower @s8nspam account, which is enough to get both accounts banned by affiliation. The wording on the email also makes it appear the account is banned permanently from the platform, so Rogue\u2019s first professional Tweeter might have a hard time doing his new job. The identity behind the s8n twitter account is allegedly a 26-year-old British man named Michael, as reported in an article by OneZero. The account has gotten in trouble with Twitter in the past, even getting \u201cshadow banned\u201d from the platform when the algorithm was revised in 2019.
