The problem I have with this is that the second verification option is actually dangerous for some of us. I have a stalker here. I had to close my old account and make a new one blocking all of his profiles that I knew of. If I go putting my picture up, it's possible that he will see it. But if I don't, I'll be treated by the SW community as a fake. This seems.... like an unfair predicament. I know it's not required, but choosing not to verify will carry a certain stigma. There must be another way, other than asking us to put our photo up publicly, on a site based on anonymity.

@SW-User why would u be labelled a fake if u stay anonymous?
SW-User
@SW-User Because, I think most people will assume if one chooses to stay anonymous, they have something to hide. I DO have something to hide... my identity from my ex who is a stalker. But that won't be explained by my "partially verified" status.

@SW-User the 'fake' accusations are levelled against people that post pics claiming to be of themselves. i don't see why you would be thought of as fake for remaining anonymous.

@SW-User We'll see, but I tend to think it will polarize people who choose to stay anonymous as well.
