well there you go, even the word "verified" will fool people, we've come full circle back to the title of this submission. now sure I know what it means, it means twitter has checked that the "check has cleared this month" or something to that effect but if folks are getting deceived by the blue check mark, I'm going to hazard a guess that "verified" isn't going to help. anyways let me search and see if we can clear this up: Blue checkmark: It currently means two things. 1) An account with this checkmark is a legacy verified account yah ok, let me try again The checkmark does not imply endorsement from Twitter, and does not mean that tweets from a verified account are necessarily accurate or truthful in any way. thats a good definition from wikipedia. lets try x themselves: Accounts that receive the blue checkmark as part of a Premium subscription will not undergo review to confirm that they meet the active, notable and authentic criteria that was used in the previous process. Learn more about the blue checkmark here. so essentially the "check mark" means the "check" has cleared I guess hehe I personally think maybe they should use a different icon for the folks paying, the check mark itself has previous meanings (and really, inherently the "check mark" icon itself sort of goes more with the previous meanings especially those users still left over from the time before the reputation of the site was flushed away haha

It's not what you say it means, it's what twitter says it means, that's the exact basis for the Euro complaint. That you've come full circle is just more how your 'argument' is a stupid ouroboros. > even the word "verified" will fool people You can't actually be this obtuse? It's misleading because twitter calls it a verification, if they didn't, it wouldn't be misleading.

  >It's misleading because twitter calls it a verification, if they didn't, it wouldn't be misleading. I'm also talking about the check mark as well but yes, the "verification" is misleading also, because there's nothing verified except that the payment went through. And not only those two items (check mark, the word "verification") but as mentioned elsewhere apparently the check mark actually did mean something more. When you call my posts "stupid" and me "obtuse", its honestly an invitation to conclude this little conversation as you now have the advantage in the debate, you get to call names and I'd rather not.

    >And not only those two items (check mark, the word "verification") but as mentioned elsewhere apparently the check mark actually did mean something more. Twitter purports it means verified. That's why they might be fined. It's still not clear to me how this is a difficult concept for you to grasp that you keep talking about what it meant elsewhere as opposed to on twitter. On twitter's website, right now it calls them a verification. That's why its misleading. If they called it a proof of sale, or whatever you keep insisting it "really" means, it wouldn't be misleading. But they don't call it that! >When you call my posts "stupid" and me "obtuse", its honestly an invitation to conclude this little conversation as you now have the advantage in the debate, you get to call names and I'd rather not. Calling this a conversation is generous. You just assert your own point without any regard to the meaning of anything else actually said. That's why its obtuse. It's stupid because it's facially wrong.
