Twitter suspended TNA Wrestling President Dixie Carter’s account today.

Her account was suspended due to a violation of the website’s terms of service. Approximately a month ago, a background image featuring a photoshopped “Verified Accountâ€￾ logo was uploaded to the page. However, only Twitter may indicate that an account is verified.

Their terms of service reads: “Misuse of Twitter Badges: You may not use a Verified Account badge or Promoted Products badge unless it is provided by Twitter. Accounts using these badges as part of profile pictures, background images, or in a way that falsely implies affiliation with Twitter will be suspended.â€￾

According to reader Kemco, numerous users reported the violating account to Twitter, which led to its suspension.

Carter launched the account in late 2009, coinciding with the arrival of Hulk Hogan, and was frequently plugged on TNA iMPACT! up until a few months ago. Some people have speculated that her “I amâ€￾ tweet last week was in response to users calling her out for misrepresenting the account as verified.


She used it very frequently as a promotional tool for the product and as mentioned in the article they plugged her twitter page regularly on the show. Surely it wouldn't have been that hard to have the account verified so this issue should never had occured. It does explain why she has gone quiet for quite some time on twitter.

I really didn't care about Dixe Carter or TNA for for that matter, but it looked like people did, to go as far as narc on her about verified accounts, seems like she was targeted by fanboys who don't have much of a life imo.
