              LG Superfan, 27 Mar 2019Its 6 months away not so just wait its not like you will be... moreDamn, I'm already above the minimum age limit to have a Twitter account!
              The fact that they haven't even made any progress to unlock my account is just beyond me.....

              Now I'm continuing with my new account, which has the birth date set to the same birth date as I entered in my locked account. The developers are nuts, and I have absolutely no hope for it to get retrieved.

                            It didn't work because they are doing it wrong.
                            After you change the date you have to soak your device in water then put it in the oven on 300f for 20 minutes.

                            It will unlock a special color: charred black

                                Quite funny really. I dont do Twitter. I have a life. Ok, I admit I did try it for a while but then after a while I thought to myself "this is actually quite sad" everyone is trying to grab everyone's attention. Everyone wants to be the next big thing! What's that all about? Eh?

                                It was different in my day. Great days looking back. Simple days, primitive some might say, but good old days nevertheless.

                                  How about my account?
                                  I already submitted a legal copy of my very own birth certificate, which clearly tells my real age, and up until now I haven't got my account back!
                                  Come on, my birthday is just 6 months away and I'll be 2 years more than the minimum age requirement for Twitter already!

                                    If you tweet gsmarena 1000 times you can unlock new color scheme on this site.

                                      I kind of find it amazing what people believe these days, the moon is still made out of cheese by the way.

                                        "For this, you have to reach out to Twitter Support and provide a government-issues identification document to prove your real age, as The Verge points out."

                                        THIS should be the first step before you can even get an account. Too many fake age users on social media.. But i guess they don't care.. they want as many users as possible.
