Do you use your photos on Similar Worlds?

I may, or I may not. And I don’t care what the mods or admins think.

Frankly I don’t see how “verifying” anyone in this way will improve the conduct of some members, or change their behavior.

The fact is some “real” people are real assholes, in real life as well as on sites like this one. I seriously doubt this feature will do anything to curb the worst trolls and hacks.

For the rest of us who simply value the anonymity SW allows and interact and express ourselves more freely because of it, this seems like a lousy trade. We’re told that “verification” is optional and we can chose not go along if we want. But the official statement clearly creates the implication that if we don’t we’ll be considered suspect, and probably labeled that way .

So what’s really going on Nuno?
SW is your creation, your property, and all of us are here as guests. You can do whatever you want, including kicking any or all of us out - I get it. But what do you want actually? Are you trying to cope with the very real security issues facing Twitter, Facebook, and other social media platforms that have been manipulated and exploited by fake news/propaganda bots? Or is this some new marketing move that gives you a way of selling our habits and preferences, and identities, to advertisers?

It’s just not clear enough right now. And I’m not in a mood get in line.
