Account Verification

I applied to have my account verified a few days ago. I am on here a lot more than I used to be. And I want extra security over my account. It's been 3 going on four days. It still says pending verification. I also reached out to support about this issue. I was wondering if there was an average time it takes for them to verify your account. Does anyone with a verified account have any reference for this question?

I've had a 'you need to verify your account' thing up for about 3 months, but I've been using the site for much longer, so why should I bother to get 'verified'? It's not like Elon Musk just bought the site and wants to create a multi-tiered system of eliteness with paid 'verification ticks' for $10 a month.

@zonavar68 You are already verified. (Picture verification)

You are talking about email verification. It is different thing
zonavar68 · 51-55, M
@Miram But I've been using the site for much longer and then one day the 'you need to get verified' appeared. If I wasn't good enough email-wise before I'm not going to bother now.

It took an hour or less. But back then (3 years ago) the update was new and only few people were up to do it.

The admins and mods probably are bit occupied. They will get to it.

The admins don't care about this place. They take forever to respond to anything. Also, I have tried to get my account verified twice and they never got back to me.
Saucylover · 26-30, F
They verified my account guys! I guess they saw us talking shit lol.

@ekwalizur ...maybe you should read her profile...
@Saucylover Good for you!
It took about 5 days for me, I believe.
@NerdyPotato Yes, but they are quick to assist tubers...

It takes 3-4 days at least

How do you do it? I’ve been here since EP. And then when it changed to SW.

I took a long break tho just coming back on here
Saucylover · 26-30, F
@Heavenlywarrior You'll find the option to verify your account in the account settings. You can verify yourself publicly, for those of us who like to post photos, this will prove your authenticity. You can also verify yourself with the administrators via a photo that you should not share publicly. This photo will verify your identity so that if anyone takes over your account via your email, they can verify who you are with a photo.

@Saucylover thanks
It took like 8 days with me. Right @HannibalAteMeOut? We were both verified on the same day lol remember that?

It'll happen sooner or later don't worry about it.

"Verify your email address to receive our email notifications and activate your account. " Umm the account has been active the whole time.
@zonavar68 I that they are saying that you never responded to an initial message (when it changed to sw) verifying your email.

You know, those "click on the link we sent you" things.
I did it yesterday, while i was pushing buttons on here i never use, it was maybe 30 minutes
@checkoutanytime but you're not verified yet. Maybe requesting verification took you 30 minutes, but she was asking how long it would take to get approved.
@NerdyPotato that part doesn't involve me, so i obviously cant answer with accuracy.

When they first started verifying accounts, it went much faster. Andrew and Nuno are much busier now, so I would say two weeks at the outside.
Is that what verification is about? Security? I thought it was about authenticity
Saucylover · 26-30, F
@ImperialAerosolKidFromEP There are two verifications. I applied for both. One is for authenticity, the other is to get your account back if you lose your email or login information. You can check it out in the account settings.
@Saucylover So you might only be a mild lover if not verified?! SAY IT ISN'T SO! 😉🤣🤣🤣

I think Nuno amd Andrew have kinda given up on the site so it might take awhile. On the otherhand having your account verified is kinda meaningless.
Saucylover · 26-30, F
@MethDozer I agree. It is meaningless lol. It would only matter if you could reach out to someone about your account being hacked. I have an ex who previously had access to my email that is attached to this account. The only way you can recover your account if your email has been breached is through photo verification. So that is why I tried to get it verified. I didn't know the admins were to unresponsive. I also had no idea they had pretty much given up on the site. But I can see that, considering they have not verified my account in going on a week. And support has never responded to my inquiries lol. If something were to happen to my account, guess I'd just be shit out of luck.
