> At what level do you guys go “I’m just going to assume those 10 other guys aren’t lying”

For something easily testable? Never.

Edit: Account just got locked, lol.




I think I should put up a lever that gives people an electric shock, charge admission, and set up a live stream.

I bet the lever will be popular.


Definitely will be, with the people of a more scientific mindset :).

I can imagine the reaction video tiktoks already!


Me too. Also I decided to repeal the ban with the comment "Memphis" just for giggles. I visit Twitter maybe once a month(when an interesting link pops up here), so it's not like I absolutely need that account.


I am actually pondering if I should do this to lock my account.


You get it back in 12 hours, so it is not a big deal.


If you break the twitters infinitely vague rules 5 times your account will get banned permanently. So it is a big deal.

Anyone interested in testing the 5 times limit by using the Memphis?


Exactly this. I’m also afraid that it sets a flag somewhere that “this person has been banned at some point” which will affect something down the line.


This claim requires testing.


Post a link to the right Marc Cohn song and you'll be banned for a good month! </j>
