What is with the "verified" label turning up on some members posts?

Indeed

There are all sorts of idiots online that claim to be or to have done many things they have not,

I’ve fallen for a few in the past myself ! Some are very convincing indeed

Caveat emptor !

Think we will just stick with what Twitter have found works - they know a bit about social media apparently

"Twitter says its system for verifying accounts is broken. Now the company is reconsidering how it hands out its little blue and white check mark icons.
The company announced Thursday that it is pausing all "general verifications" because of "confusion" over the policy.


The decision comes days after Twitter (TWTR) authenticated an account belonging to the man who organized this summer's white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. Critics attacked the company for a move they said gave credibility and significance to white nationalism.

"Verification was meant to authenticate identity & voice but it is interpreted as an endorsement or an indicator of importance," Twitter said. "We recognize that we have created this confusion and need to resolve it."

In another tweet, CEO Jack Dorsey said the company "realized some time ago the system is broken and needs to be reconsidered.""

Perhaps Clive bought the ticks cheap from Twitter.

I don’t think we are giving any credibility to white nationalism

What is the purpose though, does it give a personal guarantee from TFF, can't people make their own decisions these days

You can of course make your own decisions - I would recommend you do

Any tool that helps inform can only be a good thing, if you think otherwise then simply ignore it

They'll probably be getting a monthly invoice for the "blue ticks" soon

 

[Monty]

Any chance of removing the banners completely and just adding the word verified in front of where is says member or staff member? The blue banners look silly and they're burning my retinas
