We have a twitter account at twitter.com/ChrisEvans4rumI've been putting links to posts here and random retweets. I'm trying to tread the line between realising a lot of people really want to see pictures of Mr Handsome and giving info to people who don't know that much about him and posts for people who are enthusiasts of his acting. If anybody wants to contribute let me know by PM.

I had an interesting few minutes on the Twitter account yesterday. When I first set it up I clicked follow on a list of Chris Evans related sites. I went through them yesterday to do some 'gardening'. When I checked out the accounts properly hardly any of them were particularly current. Most hadn't posted for months or even years. I went looking for some others and so far my research shows that despite the huge amount of Chris related twitter accounts not so many of them are up to date and very few are more than fans reposting pictures of him looking pretty. If anybody comes across any more twitter accounts that go beyond the usual please let me know. As of today we have the grand total of 160 followers. It amazes me when I see accounts with thousands of followers! I keep an eye on which kind of post gets the most likes and retweets for academic interest. I expected the 'pretty' pictures I posted to get the most attention but I've been pleasantly surprised. I thought these might get ignored but they didn't. Well, not completely anyway. The most popular have been these two

Do we follow @mintmintdoodles? She follows alot of Chris Evans and Tom Hidlston related twitters (and some fans of) and post cool art too herself. Might be worth checking out her list to cross reference what could work for us Staying in the know ^_^ There's a group that raise money for his birthday (June 13th), donation for Christophers Haven.

I've been mesmerised by this snippet of Chris saying 'um abraço Brasil' (a hug Brazil) in Portuguese. He's really good!!

Talking of Portuguese - it's not very English to 'brag' but I(we) had one of those magic Twitter moments the other night. Somebody we follow who is a scriptwriter reposted a quote from Paulo Coelho the famous Brazilian author and said she didn't understand it. Being a smart-arse I translated it into English for her and posted it to her not really noticing that she'd mentioned him so the answer was going to him too.
So I had a bit of cardiac arrest later on when I saw in notifications that Paulo Coelho had thanked me for my translation and re-posted it! I've given up my job, bought a pair of superfluous sunglasses, a toupé and moved to a house in Beverley Hills now. If you want to reach me speak to my PA.

The good news is that we're not far off 2,000 followers. A long way behind the giants with tens of thousands of followers but I think maybe our angle may be attractive to a more limited audience.
The BAD NEWS is that since Twitter have upped their game vis-à-vis automated accounts they've decided we may be an automated account. This means I keep getting locked out which is actually not too bad because they just send an unlock code to my phone and I can unlock it in seconds.
However, the really worrying thing is that other people who send a tweet to our account are finding their account is then immediately locked. I don't know what is causing this. I have a few ideas which I'm working on.
I've reset the password. DM me for the password if you want to help with the account.
I've sent several 'tickets' to Twitter support to ask for help which is tricky because it's all dropdown boxes and nothing really fits the problem.
I'll let you know how it goes.

UPDATE
I have sent a string of 'tickets' to Twitter and a string of DMs to @twittersupport and have heard absolutely NOTHING back from either of them. Nothing in their help centre or advice has anything like this problem. WE are not getting banned or locked out or anything. Nothing is happening to us. It's happening to the people who tweet to us. It's insane.
I have changed the password and changed the handle to @chrisevansforum.
That had no effect whatsoever.
One person who always managed to tweet us without getting a lock out has a 'private' account so I wondered if that might help so I've made the account private. Only one person has contacted me since to say they managed to tweet us without a lock out so I still don't know if it has worked for everyone.
The problem is of course that having a private account slightly defeats the point of having a fan account for spreading information.
So - I'll see if this 'cures' the problem.
If it doesn't then I don't see much point in carrying on. I might as well delete the account.
If it does work I'll have to make a decision. Carry on using a private account or delete it because it's pointless.
I feel angry. I (we) have bent over backwards to run a respectful, fact based, non-exploitative fan account and yet Twitter's algorithms are effectively killing the account dead.

Next update
So I've heard back from a couple of people and making the account private didn't work so I'll open it up again and have a think about what to do.

Just to let you know I always enjoy your Twitter posts. I cannot apparently respond to them now however or even like them without being hassled so I've stopped doing that. I have wanted to comment several times also but haven't because of this issue. It is completely unfair that this is happening and shockingly inconceivable that you have received no support from twitter. I just wish there was another platform to migrate to. Just glad the Forum is here and running unhampered. Hang in there!
