Depressing thought of the evening

Princess Alice · 2016-01-09 06:15:31

I'm probably going to die without ever having become famous enough to get that little blue checkmark next to my Twitter name.

Obā-san · 2016-01-09 06:18:29

outlive twitter

Salix Babylonika · 2016-01-09 06:21:57

most of us will probably outlive twitter

Imipolex G · 2016-01-09 06:22:55

twitter may die tomorrow

Obā-san · 2016-01-09 06:22:56

write your name in a little green book ten thousand times

then pick up a blue gel pen and check off each name as you kill your doubles

Klinotaxis · 2016-01-09 07:25:03

you know who verified ME? the UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT :cryingeagleemoticoninsastyle:

Calica · 2016-01-09 08:57:16

at least you'll never know the indignity of having the blue checkmark taken away

Princess Alice · 2016-01-09 09:15:45

That was what made me think of this actually

Surely you'll agree I deserve the checkmark more than that asshole

Salix Babylonika · 2016-01-09 09:32:15

you can have your account verification revoked??

One-Winged Eagle · 2016-01-09 09:34:40

Didn't you hear? Twitter will probably roll back their character limit.

Twitter is dying tomorrow.

Milo Yiannowhateverthefck had it taken away yesterday

...

... Well, like, what's the importance of that checkmark again?

One-Winged Eagle · 2016-01-09 15:23:27

I didn't even know there was a checkmark.

One-Winged Eagle · 2016-01-09 15:26:09

Well okay, that basically means that a verification means nothing, then.

Odradek · 2016-01-09 15:27:39

He got it back anyway

Klinotaxis · 2016-01-09 15:30:52

that faq has nothing about losing checkmarks. is there some reason to lose verification other than a belief of Twitter that an account is no longer under the person's control?

Odradek · 2016-01-09 15:34:53

Can an account lose its verified status?

Changing certain profile information (such as the @ username or protecting Tweets) will result in the removal of a verified badge. That account will automatically be reviewed again to ensure it is eligible for verification.

An account may also lose its verified status if it violates the Twitter Rules or Terms of Service.

Previously verified accounts may not be eligible to have their badges restored.

Klinotaxis · 2016-01-09 15:49:12

Oops.

If he broke Twitter's rules wouldn't he just get banned

Odradek · 2016-01-09 15:51:00

No because every social media website is terrible at enforcing rules that don't involve copywright.

Klinotaxis · 2016-01-09 16:06:29

I mean, if they're already enforcing it to re move the checkmark but not enforcing it to remove them entirely, that's, well.

what's the new limit?

Aliroz · 2016-01-09 20:04:39

Don't worry Centie, you're still important to us!

One-Winged Eagle · 2016-01-10 01:21:57

Ten thousand, or so I've heard it said.

glennmagusharvey · 2016-01-10 02:16:51

Oh, I thought you meant that it'd decrease.
