@KellyLancaster the division this little addition has caused or rather people have allowed it to create is so sad. I believe you’re right this might be the start of the end

@KellyLancaster quite possibly. We shouldn't have to verify nothing on an anonymous site.

@KellyLancaster I signed up for the same reason to both EP & SW. It is odd they are abandoning their mission..
Myzery · 41-45, F
No.
I have Googled my name and have been horrified with the information that I could easily find. Since Americans do not have the right to be forgotten, a simple reverse image search will give anyone here access to all the same information.

@Myzery you don't have to give them your name, address and ssn... it's not like getting a drivers license... just a simple picture and note that isn't publicly advertised and kept confidential... no more intrusive than filling out basic profile details.

@wildbill83 I think I shoulda been verified thru my debit card when I purchased VIP
Myzery · 41-45, F
@wildbill83 If they have my picture that will give them the rest of my information. They will get my full name if they Google image search my face.

Nope. And I just blocked two asshole men: one verified, and one not. I'm an equal opportunity asshole blocker.

Anonymity is important, especially when people search media to mine information about someone else. I do not see the need to verify when answering questions, or even chatting on a site, since it's a different experience than real life encounters.
wildbill83 · 36-40, M
Oh for the love of God people! ya'll are blowing this way out of proportion...
Verification is VOLUNTARY, not required. The application process is non-intrusive, it's not like you're filling out your full name, ssn, address, etc. and the verification photo is private.
Verify or not, that's your choice.
But don't be a hypocrite and accuse other users of being fake/catfish/etc. if you yourselves aren't verified; as MANY people do constantly on here...
not a day goes by without at least two or three trolls accusing friends of mine of being fake...

Not as long as it's publicly visible. If I wanted that, I'd use Facebook.

@SW-User It seems your verification pic isn't publicly shared though.

@Valentine Doesn't everyone's checkmark click through to the photograph? At least, it goes to a photograph. Maybe I'm missing something here.
Valentine · M
@SW-User I'm still not sure about it...
nedkelly · 61-69, M
YES my son took my photo and the smart arse said - stand behind the yellow line
User41 · 36-40, M

I’m 50/50 about it, only if I know more a out what they will do with my identity and privacy, like someone could google my pic and find me here, because a lot of what I share is what I keep to myself especially my secrets and thoughts, no one in my real life knows a lot of my experiences and I would like to keep it that way.
Zaphod42 · 46-50, M
I don't even know what that is, nor do I really care, lol
Me too!
labsrock · M
I prefer my anonymity here

I see no point to it
Funnyman · 51-55, M
Agreed. Why do we need to get verified. Another digital foot print. Who will they share that data with?
wildbill83 · 36-40, M
@Funnyman if that's your biggest concern, you should just delete your account...lmao
KingofPizza2 · 36-40, M
I’m still unsure as to the benefits it brings
bijouxbroussard · F
No, I’m preferring to remain anonymous. Those who think it makes me less “trustworthy” are free not to friend me.

@SW-User awesome.. Its definitely a personal choice. For me.. I was 2 seconds away from doing it, and then I just said no, it just was not something I wanted right now. But i absolutely think it is cool for anyone who choses to do so.. But it doesn't feel right for me right now.. But things could always changes....

No and I won't be. 🙂
Valentine · M
If you verify, are you forced to show your face pic? Lots seem to these days, but I thought it was just choice?
KayraJordyn · F
My profile pic isn't my face. @fairone
whateverhappens · 26-30, F
i dont mind but i prefer share my face when i want ,not have it there hanging out under my about me
wildbill83 · 36-40, M
@whateverhappens the picture you submit for verification is private, not shown publicly like your avatar pic...

@wildbill83 what about most of the users don't use their actual photo
fairone · F
@Mrsbetweenfatandfit I absolutely don't judge anyone for verifying.. Its not something I would do right now.. But I never say never!
Mrsbetweenfatandfit · 26-30, F
@fairone just something that’s quickly becoming a thing in the last several hours here. Even from people I didn’t think would want to treat anyone that way but just goes to show, verification or not most of us really don’t know each other
