good but not enough catfish protection.

how to know if the photo is fake or not?

@unknownpoetx Would take some dedication on their part to fake it.

@GeistInTheMachine yea, like 2seconds

@unknownpoetx because fakes usually take pics from random people of the internet. How will they make them write a note with those details, and take a Pic even?

unknownpoetx · 36-40, M

@SW-User yea. if only there was pc programs capable of manipulating photos. if only that technology was widely available and easy to use. oh wait......

@unknownpoetx Nothing is 100% perfect, but it takes very specific skills to edit these details into a photo in such a way that it looks original to a human taking a close look.

@unknownpoetx Nothing like trying and see if it gets approved. If you prove to us that this system doesn't work, we promise we'll improve ;) until then, it will be doing its job making legit users more trusted on Similar Worlds.
