Means nothing really.. a false sense of security... anyone could have a person stand in front of a camera with their profile name on it.. doesn’t make them any more real or fake than someone who doesn’t verify themselves... You still don’t know for sure... a man pretending to be a woman could take his picture with the profile name, another without, and then hide it so no one can see.. it’s verified because the pictures match and the sign with the name matches the profile name..
@LittleFairyDancer No trip to Boston for me then, but then again... Ireland is closer and cheaper to visit. Not certain if Brexit is going to make it more difficult... Has to be seen.
Verified status. You send in a pic to admins with you holding a sign that has your username/date/similarworlds on it, then send them in a separate pic where your face matches the face of the person holding the sign. Once you do that, you become verified. Then, you decide who you want to see the verified pic, if you let everyone see it, it is a green circle with a check mark, it is gray in color if you make it private for friends only or admins only
@Bubbles So this means you're verified but your picture is private and that's why the circle is not filled in green. I guess I don't have much of a need to verify my photo.
@LittleFairyDancer yes exactly! It really isn't something that people need to do. I think they came out with it because people always complain about fake profiles, however people seem to also equally hate this idea too for whatever reason, despite its intended purpose.
