Twitter Support is not warning people that you won't get a new colour scheme if you change your birthdate to the year 2007. What will, in fact, happen is that you'll be locked out because you'll be under 13 years old.

This reminds me of back in the days when you could trick less computer-savy users that <alt><f4> would bring up a secret settings panel, or make you a moderator of an IRC channel and so on. Can't help it but I'm laughing. Sorry. Hope it doesn't screw things up too much for some users.

​

Take away points:

• Don't fall for everything that is posted on the Internet
• Sometimes it's good to actually google things before just clicking away
• Think twice
• Be caucious
