I'm having this problem too, not merely the Sign In button but sending the actual messages.

I signed up for a Twitter account an hour or so ago, and was using Army of Awesome, and there were occasional errors saying "ut message too long" when I tried to send some tweets, and finally my Twitter account was suspended with infinite loops of messages being sent to Twitter!

You might want to fix this problem before Mozilla gets in big big trouble.

This happens because twitter thinks that your account is automated (automatically sending reply).

Slow down your tweets Max of 25 per day

Try to avoid the Twitter names like "rocks, pop, sweety etc.."

This names are spammed.

I never had this problem before with Army of Awesome on older Twitter accounts.

The new account did not have a generic name, it is "danqco" (after my domain of the same name)

Is this a new security measure? You might want to warn on the AoA page that security measures were updated on Twitter and if they overuse AoA their accounts may be suspended. *This is serious, guys. We could be in serious trouble.* Finally, let Twitter know exactly what is leading to these suspensions and that clarification has been made on the site.

I have notified Twitter about this via their "Application Report", and asked them to deauthorize AoA just in case it screws up when my account is unblocked.

I also gave them a link to this Bugzilla bug, noting that "iamjayakumars" gave me tips on this.

I should also note that AoA caused an appeal request to be sent 4 times, and suspensed portions of my account one at a time until it was entirely blocked.

If Twitter updated their security that it puts AoA-authorized accounts in danger, maybe we should temporarily remove Army of Awesome from the page.

Try to use your own words, when replying to the twitter.. if your keep on using the Canned Response also their will be a problem.

it happens to few members, who are tweeting like crazy...

slowdown your tweets, we are taking about this to twitter.. so this problem will be solved ASAP.
