Just about ready to implement "Verification" - a question for you

[AlBundyIsMyHero]

So what about someone like myself who has never been to a gathering, is kind of shy and insecure about putting pictures up does that mean my account will be banned or something?

Nah, it's just an option

Nope, nothing will change for you.

I am down for whatever.

[Wolf]

Definitely some downsides to it, but I can see it as a reasonable and necessary step.

No issue whatsoever- been around since 2002 and also agree that it would all but eliminate catfishing

[Huulle]

That sounds like a wonderful plan, I am glad something is being done to the catfishing.

A question, though. Not all of us have a webcam and buying one for this reason sounds a bit much. Would using just voice be sufficent?
I only have a microphone and can think of at least one member here who has the same problem. I am sure we two are not alone with this.

No, just voice would not be sufficient - at least not according to my current thinking. If you don't have a webcam and also don't have a phone with a camera, and have never been to a gathering, you'd have some trouble getting verified. I'm not sure what an acceptable alternative would be.

But again, it's not mandatory or in any way required. You wouldn't even notice the difference.

I don't care about the rank. I don't have Skype but can probably verify by messenger, WhatsApp or Kik instead. I've never been to a gathering but have had personal interaction and sessions with an attendee of the last Bella Bash and had a paid session with him and Kelli Lynn Sage which she responded to my thread about.

I think verifying is a good idea anymore to protect members. I support it.

[Yote]

I don't mind having my rank replaced. If we have the option to display our rank anyway instead of our verification mark, i think it's fine.

Thanks again for this idea and implementing it. Verification will help a lot.

So how do we verify by phone with you? I am a tad bit behind the time as I have never used Skype nor do I have a webcam either. Maybe I missed a thread or two on the procedure(s) and options as I intend to be verified (even though you know who I am).

peace out,
daddy

Via some kind of messaging app with video chat capabilities.

I did not even think about the phone camera. That would work wonderfully, though.

There are a ton of us on Discorg, and that has video call capabilities as far as I'm concerned. I'm sure you could verify a lot of us there, if that works for you?

I do really appreciate the effort you're putting into this. I am glad this verification thing is going forward!

[TKL_M28_LI_NY]

I'm fine with it.
The rank, to me, doesn't seem very relevant.

I recently got Skype but haven't been able to catch up with you Jeff. I'm off work after tomorrow until next Thursday. Gotta burn up some vaca time! I also noticed that in addition to the pics of me in my profile, I have one in the "Members Pictures" thread. Don't know if that counts for anything, but just putting it out there. I will be trying to catch ya on the days I'm off work so watch for me Jeff!
