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
@LittleFairyDancer well it took me a few hours when I did it several months ago, however I have seen some people say it takes days. I think it just depends on how busy they are
@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.
