Try to understand what triggered the spam detection bot. Maybe it's the interval between two mentions that was too short? A solution would be to never do a tweet/mention more than every 10s or so. Maybe it's a matter of ratio, normal tweets vs mentions?

Your user acquisition rates are great, persevere.

Anyway I submitted an inquiry to Twitter, but I don't think they will reply... They told too many mentions.. but I don't think that 300 mentions in 2 days with other tweets in the between are too much.. really... (I don't think I'm the top mentioner guy...)

Try just mentioning instead of replying. Reply triggers the spam filter straight away, as you've experienced yourself.

I did a tweet every 10 min in average.. The ratio were not so bad... (thanks for your support! ;-)
