  Probably a good idea, but I was referring more to the switch-cutting behavior Twitter makes some users do. They will suspend your account for a ToS-violating tweet, but not tell you what in the tweet broke which rule. However, they will make reinstating your account contingent on you deleting the tweet, and that in deleting the tweet you acknowledge that you have sinned and are now contrite for your sins. The thing about this is, there is nothing that makes this necessary from a standpoint of policing offensive content. Twitter could easily remove offending tweets themselves. They refuse to because they want to psychologically break or humiliate the offenders. To the upper echelons at Twitter, it is not enough to obey Big Brother, you must also love him.
