Depends. There's a catfish on here who admitted to using fake pics but is verified

@deadgerbil who??

@deadgerbil oh wow. Understood. I thought getting myself verified would prove who I was. Shame there’s a faking to it

@SW-User it's funny bc this person was crying in my PMs about being called a catfish by others prior to being outted, but didn't want to prove themselves without some bs excuse as to why they couldn't take a normal pic

@deadgerbil who? Tell meeeeeeeeeeee

@deadgerbil wait but isn’t the verified picture hidden? Has anyone seen the picture?
GunFinger · F
@itsok you can hide it so admins only can see it. Mine is like that.
itsok · 31-35, F
@GunFinger yeah if it’s the same person I don’t think they’ve shown the verified pic
deadgerbil · 26-30, M
@itsok theirs is hidden. I think it's just goofy how they can use the illusion of the verification mark while acting like the pics of some random girl is really them
SW-User
@itsok mine is DEFINITELY hidden. Was a baaaaaad pic. Like all the others
GunFinger · F
@itsok yeah I wonder how that works holding a sw and date in real time.
SW-User
@GunFinger I had to do it to be verified. Was awkward AF but I still got the pic

@SW-User same. I did the first one a couple of months ago and the second one just a week ago or so and was verified in 2 days. Not that hard but too uncomfortable for me. Lol
@deadgerbil but i had to hold my username etc i believe if I'm remembering correctly. Damn. People getting too sneaky
SW-User
@GunFinger VERY uncomfortable

@Bexsy they had a warning on their profile in the past for trying to trick the verification system
SW-User

SW-User
