Speculation Post: Twitter Refused to Restore Patrick’s Blue Check Because He Spammed Verified Users

Caverlock

Nice For Here
Background
According to Mr. Tomlinson, the temporary loss of his Twitter account, and permanent loss of his treasured blue check, can both be pinned entirely on Nazi cyberterrorists spamming reports against him.

(A, A2, A3)

Mr. Tomlinson accepts no blame for the 11-month ban, and insists his account was restored after Twitter realized their “mistake” (A); yet, despite “thousands” of oinks lodged, and over $5,000 in lawyer fees, they refused to restore his coveted blue check since his mid-2019 unbanning.


Even if one were to accept as truth his lie about the cause of the ban, why did Twitter refuse to restore the checkmark after overturning the ban?


Some point to the vague wording of a past Twitter ToS Agreement that states that Verified status “may not be restored” once lost. However, this corporate legalese is likely intentionally vague to allow them to make case-by-case decisions while still seeming to hold a standard. There are many, many pre-Elon instances of banned and de-Verified accounts having their coveted blue check restored; they include athletes (L), reporters (A), politicians, actors (L), and even white supremacist cyber/irl nazis such as Richard Spencer (A).


What if Patrick was right about something, even if only partially and ironically? What if his own spamming, not cyberstalkers’, cost him his blue check?

Twitter gives verified users a mentions filter / velvet rope (A)


Twitter prioritized catering to the Blue Check elite.

“As part of our product development process, we regularly reach out to our partners to better understand what would improve the Twitter experience. One item of feedback we’ve gotten from verified users: an easier way to manage the large number of conversations they’re in.” (L)

The pleas of the Blue Checks were heard; they could now filter out the insufferable bleating of the non-Verified masses.

“As a first step, we’ll be rolling out the ability for verified users to go to their Connect tab on the web and toggle between mentions in three categories: all, filtered and verified. Selecting “Filtered” will show mentions based on an algorithm we use to filter out spam, and choosing “Verified” means they’ll only see mentions from other verified accounts.”

So, as long as some pugnacious narcissist did not gain a checkmark and spam Blue Checks with messages and/or tag them into mentions, everything was going to be great!


A tiny portion of Verified users late-stage Veripat at least attempted to feud with before his ban: Mike Huckabee, Charlie Kirk, Ben Shapiro, RadioFreeTom, John Cardilla, Mark Meadows, Alex Jones, Tomi Lahren, Anthony Cumia, Ann Coulter, Kyle Griffin, Eric Trump, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Stephen Miller, Kelly Anne Conway, Ethan Van Sciver, Roseanne Barr, Steve Bannon, Scott Adams (Dilbert), and Kurt Schlichter.


Kurt Schlichter’s response to Mr. Tomlinson’s behavior may provide valuable to Mr. Tomlinson's coming de-Verification:

From the screenshot, one can see that Mr. Tomlinson replied to Mr. Schlichter at least once, and mentioned him at least eight times in under four minutes:

Mr. Tomlinson’s aggressive, Katamari Damacy-like tagging was very helpful in boosting his number of “Impressions,” or number of times a tweet of his loaded by another user, a statistic he brags about even to this day.

This tagging later became a boon for stlaker-childs.

Because of the nature of the notification system, Patrick’s collateral spamming of tagged-in parties was at least as bad as that of his intended targets. The strategy of tagging as many people as possible into as many threads as possible, regardless of how irrelevant to their interests, resulted in the requests to be untagged from the thread, mostly from people on his side, as foes were much more inclined to simply block him:

Per Mr. Tomlinson’s instructions, those no longer wishing to be tagged into petty, impertinent threads to farm impressions for him could mute each thread themselves:

Years later, Mr. Tomlinson seems to have softened his stance, but demands no jokes be made about his life ever, even if they are light sarcasm and not jokes:

Reminder of just a few things judgment debtor Tomlinson has gone on record stating ARE perfectly fine to joke about: the Prophet Muhammad (A), the Holocaust, and sadistically murdering his abandoned newborn daughter in front of her mother before murdering her also.

Even the cofounder, then-CEO, and partial owner Jack Dorsey (@jack) could not escape Mr. Tomlinson’s me-me-me tagging:

He would only grow more and more abrasive as he approached his banning:

His frenzied spamming would be terminated in September 2018 when he was banned for the infamous “Pineapple Tweet,” aimed at the most frequent target of his spamming: Donald Trump.

As covered in the OP, Patrick fired off a lunatic run-on ban appeal:

Then created at least two alt accounts that were also banned, the final being a roleplay account of his cat Bowie (renamed for social media likes [A}) Mewler.

Mr. Tomlinson would ultimately hire lawyers to recover his Precious.

They almost look like they got spammed in real life….

Difficult Client


How exactly did Mr. Tomlinson end up with Carrie Goldberg Law representing him? One likely explanation is that Brianna Wu put them in contact. Mr. Tomlinson was still messaging Wu on his alt accounts–yes, even the cat one (A).

CarrieBrianna0.jpg(A)

Wu and Goldberg have tweeted back (L) and forth (L) for years. They seem to have met at the 2017 New York Times Tech Fest:

Unsurprisingly, Mr. Tomlinson also spammed the verified @briannawu

Actually getting several replies and mentions in return, the…lets call it, “Patrick spam quotient,” while still high, but much lower than with other Blue Checks:

Compare that to Mr. Tomlinson’s non-correspondence with crush Dana Schwartz. Sir Patrick once valiantly defended m’lady from trolls riled up by her negative hot take on South Park and was ultimately rewarded with 3 mentions, 0 replies, and 0 sex, despite "Old Testament Sex God" Patrick attempting to arrange a meet-up in NYC (A):

Anyway, Patrick also ended up spamming Carrie Goldberg after she handed out a couple of obligatory replies to his office visit pic (A), and complimenting her legal services and her book (A):

OK, the Ralph Wiggum one kinda stung


Psst...just ignore him and he’ll eventually go away:

Goldberg Law managed to get the ban overturned, minus the checkmark, and Mr. Tomlinson almost immediately resumes tagging @jack (A).

Patrick had a long history of personal attacks on Twitter, being forced to delete many Tweets before his first ban, but one must wonder how many times he had been reported for spam, especially by Verified users. Not long before his ban, he admitted that, in addition to impression-farming, he deliberately used his mentions to antagonize his Twinemies, replying and quote retweeting for maximum effect:

Here Patrick explains that he blocked Verified user Ben Shapiro for shitting up his mentions once, and why it’s somehow fine when he does it all the time:

I’ll be honest, I completely ran out of steam on this one. The only real point I was trying to get across is that it’s my personal belief that a major factor that cost Patrick his Precious and probably also kept him banned for so long is that he had already been reported for spam MANY times, by foes, neutral parties, and possibly even by his so-called friends.

Twitter really attempted to make their Verified users feel special back in the ‘10s, and reports of their special Verified mentions being shat up by some jackass with his corkscrew tail tangled up in the velvet ropes would not have helped his case at all once he found himself banned for any reason. I speculate that Mr. Tomlinson may have been kicked out of the cool kids’ table largely because the cool kids got tired of him never shutting the fuck up.

Anyway, I’m lazy and want to be done with this. Please accept these previously unseen(?) pigtures in place of a proper conclusion:

Hybrid Lounge was a straight-friendly gay/lesbian bar. Maybe he met Niki there.

This is when he was supposedly suicidal over having the daughter he abandoned stolen from him. He went on some thing where you drink booze on a school bus and drive to an art gallery to drink more booze; then, you get back on the bus and drink more booze so you can drive around to various art installations and drink more booze. Milwaukee!
