So your next job is to make a bot that do the appeal automatically. :)

Re: FeelBetterBot wants you to feel better
#22Neat idea. It is amazing how often those phrases come up. It's also interesting that people would find comfort in a random tweeter passing them a hug. Imagine in real life some strange guy coming up and hugging you - a bit odd to say the least. Not that a virtual hug is the same thing, but one would think people would be more often turned off than happy, but apparently folks on twitter are different than I think they…

That's awesome. KudosBot definitely has better messages. "You are the watermelon in my fruit salad."

#23Son of a... SPOILER ALERT for anyone watching Twin Peaks.
I find it highly ironic that OP's example mocking a "bot designed to actively try to ruin people's evening" just ruined my evening.
Other than that, though, this does seem like a cool project and I can't imagine why Twitter keeps banning you.

#24I put together a similar bot that either responds to a recent #fml, or sends a pseudo-random account an unsolicited (hopefully) cheer-inducing missive (from a bank of 200). Runs at a random minute once an hour. Not been banned as yet:

Ok, sorry I'll change that. I figured the chances that a random reader would have started, but not finished a TV series from 22 years ago would be pretty slim (whereas @EnjoyTheFilm specifically targeted those people) ... but apparently not. My bad.
Updated : spoiler removed; just the reaction is shown now. Again, my apologies.

Haha well, if you put it that way now I do look foolish! I mean, I can count the number of people I know who watch Twin Peaks on 1 hand so yeah, you should've been safe.
But I'm sure you can imagine my surprise at reading Laura Palmer and thinking, "why do I know that name..."
I'm not upset or anything so don't feel bad! I was pretty amused at the irony, actually. The 'ruined my evening' part was more for comedic effect.
That said, if anyone tells me another spoiler from The Wheel of Time for me... god help them. I'm looking at you, Wikipedia.

Spoiler: there are like six books where _nothing ever happens at all ever_. Enjoy!

#30Sounds like this guy missed the memo that @horse_ebooks was a pair of artists in NYC.
It's just more fun to believe that @horse_ebooks was a bot.
