I've been here for quite a while and never thought it would matter to anyone but my chat friends. Due to real life constrains from my partners/lovers I'm unable to Skype. I once posted a copy of my Florida drivers licence with pertinent info blacked out just because one guy asked me to. I don't see what it accomplished other than to feel secure that what??? I am someone that likes sex and posts here??? Tell me,,,am I wrong?? --------------------------------------- added after 5 minutes

Me, too. I wonder who converged, and how they decided to do it, to offer the green check marks. Don't know how it came together, but thanks, folks!
For those who don't know, the rules state that a panel of three must give the approval, and there's a list of verification members. One has to have been a site member for over a year to be one. I was asked to verify someone, but I'm not one of them; I joined May 24th of last year.
Oh, I checked my check, and it said I was approved by Admin. So unless you're known to Admin, I guess you have to go by the method above. Trying to help!
Oh, I just noticed that a friend of mine who isn't here very often, a premium member, has the blue question mark. So it's not paid status that allows for verification. Just wanted to mention that.
I verified them because I remember them. I don't verify those I know nothing about. That's kinda point - people should be verified by people they know, not by me, who have absolutelly no idea about 99% of the members.
What's funny is I've recieved "please verify me" requests from about 20 members. Some of them, I've simply never heard of & others are members that stuck their nose up at me in the past. I wouldn't mind helping someone out, but if they didn't want to say hi in the past, why start now? WTF?!?
Has anyone else gone to a person's page and they have obviously used the paint function to draw something on one of their pics trying to get their verification? this is hilarious just accept your blue question mark and move on
This is for mywiferocks; you write: "this is hilarious just accept your blue question mark and move on " I am truly fine with mine...the people I choose to talk to know I am the amateur photograher who took their own pic with the camera in their phone. With all due respect, may I ask if you accepted yours? Maybe you didn't notice, oldbugle says you sent a pm to him seeking a "verified" status .....he says he's only chatted with you a couple times.....
once again, admin makes a change and does not notify registered members. consistency makes this site unique. never a change in admins approach to change!
From Matt's Wife: Actually admin posted a thread asking what we thought of doing it. I am not a premier member and admin verified me so that is not it. It is real people, what is so hard to understand about that?
I think I understand why they're doing it, BUT I'm not sure it is being done fairly. I have some concerns, but hesitate about saying anything here in the forum. I posted concerns about the "smiley face" thing ( on the forum) a while back and am still having trouble getting my face to turn into a smile from a frown. Coincidence??? I'm not sure.
Well I had a smile ( plus one or maybe zero I think it was) once, but it changed after talking to one person who got mad at me. That was about 2 months ago. It went to a frown. I have since chatted with 10 or 12 people at length( who didn't get mad) and the smiley hadn't changed until this week. Then one woman didn't like the way I signed off and it became a frown ( minus 1) the day after that happened. So two people didn't like me, but about 10 or 12 did. And the two people determine my smiley??? It doesn't make sense to me.
Thank you for the advice received from Routemaster, Moe and others. I verified several members who are contacts of mine and with whom I have had PM dealings tending to show they are genuine.
I would prefer not to verify those members who have written to me requesting verification and with whom I have not had actual tangible dealing.
When I came online this morning I had a big list of messages all asking for verification,...apart from 'mywiferocks' I had not heard of amy of them or seen their usernames in the discussion forum so i'm hardly in a position to be able to verify them...
In the case of 'mywiferocks' I HAVE had a little chat with them and they are quite visible on this site so, yes, if someone can tell me how (so far not explained on the verification page!)I will be pleased to do so in this one case.
.....Other than for well known regulars I'm not going to get involved in this as it looks like a bit of a minefield frankly.....

If you want, I can show the proof-photo also to you.
For those who don't know, the rules state that a panel of three must give the approval, and there's a list of verification members. One has to have been a site member for over a year to be one. I was asked to verify someone, but I'm not one of them; I joined May 24th of last year.
If I'm asked to verify someone I don't know well I will require some good proof though.
So what else do you need? Big burning writing in the sky? That's kinda out of my department.
