This 12 months, lots of these eager for a blue checkmark on Twitter had been stuffed with hope when the corporate reopened its public verification course of for the primary time in virtually 4 years. That hope was short-lived, although, as Twitter proceeded to pause the method, solely to reopen it once more in June. Well, shockingly, Twitter has paused entry to verification once more.

The firm’s official Twitter Verified account tweeted on Friday that it was quickly stopping its verification entry rollout as soon as extra with the intention to make enhancements to the appliance and assessment course of. Considering the current incident in July when Twitter verified six pretend accounts—together with one in all an cute cat in a bucket—that reportedly began sending out Korean-language spam, its choice to pause the method once more is sensible.

“We’ve temporarily hit pause on rolling out access to apply for Verification so we can make improvements to the application and review process,” the Twitter Verified account stated. “For those who have been waiting, we know this may be disappointing. We want to get things right, and appreciate your patience.”

As reported by the Verge, this doesn’t imply that Twitter gained’t confirm your account for those who’ve already submitted an utility. Twitter Verified said on Friday that it was engaged on reviewing all the functions it had obtained as quick because it may. In truth, not everybody on Twitter is ready to request for verification but as a result of the corporate has slowly been rolling out entry to the appliance.

G/O Media could get a fee

A Twitter spokesperson informed the outlet that it might “resume rolling out applications in the next few weeks.” Hey, at the least that’s a sort-of timeline.

The information is little doubt irritating and annoying to those that desire a blue checkmark. I notice that I’m talking from a spot of “privilege” (I suppose) since I’ve a blue checkmark, however you gotta marvel if individuals who qualify for a blue checkmark will ever get one. It looks like there’s at all times one thing happening with verification, from not taking functions for years to pausing as a result of there are too many applications.

At this level, you most likely should be extraordinarily fortunate to place in an utility at a time when issues aren’t going haywire within the verification division, which isn’t precisely a straightforward activity. If you’re not very fortunate, don’t fret. Blue checkmarks could also be coveted now, however who is aware of what shall be hip sooner or later. Maybe we gained’t even be on Twitter.
