Image Verification / Member Verification ... Why and how too

11 Jan 2012

I have been asked to explain the difference between Image Verification and Member Verification a few time in the last week so have taken the time to hopefully provide a distinction between the two …
About Member Verification ……………………………….............................................
Member verification can be used to prove that you are who you claim to be, by using other members to vouch for you . This should only be given if you have meet the other person in the flesh so to speak . This dose NOT necessarily mean that there has been a sexual meet per say as many do actually meet for a 'coffee ' tea . …drinks …..lunch …. ECT …It just means that this person has spent time chatting and getting to know the other person and is happy to state that HE or SHE or THEY are who the claim to be on site .. This should give confidence to other members of the site that you are genuine . So don't be shy about asking someone you have meet to take a sec to member verify you even if it was just for a coffee ECT ….
After member verification, your profile will show that you have been member-verified. This is found on your main profile page on the left off your screen under your profile name and image verified link .
About Image verification ………………………………...................................
A picture says a thousand words every true so why not take the time to get your self's image verified . like member verification, This can be used to prove that you are what you claim to be, IE; SEX …..Male or Female or Couple and average age group , …. lets face it a lot elaborate about there age and feachers…… in the case off Couple you both have to be visible in the same photo , .The site owners admin staff ( Moderators ) are the only people that can view your photos uploaded for the purpose of verification. To become Image verified please clink on the link on the lift panel on your main lodge in page …. To become Image verified please clink on the link on the lift panel on your main lodge in page …. And follow instructions as shown …….
Hand-write your username, your ID and the site name clearly on a piece of paper (your unique ID will be given to you on the upload page). Typed verifications are not acceptable. Take a photograph of yourself / yourselves holding this piece of paper - the photo should either show your face(s) OR ( your full body/bodies nude if you do not have any face shots on the site), .. and must clearly show that you are holding it (ie, if you're holding it in your hand, then your hand and arm must be visible).
Images must be in colour, not in black and white, sepia, negative or tinted with any colour.
You may also be asked to Verify via web cam if it is suspected that you have stated wrong gender or couples status on your profile ..This is done via private password protected room with a site moderator , this takes just a few minuets off your time and total privacy is a assured stated before COUPLES most both be present at this time so please bear this in mind before arranging to do so ..
This should give confidence to other members of the site that your pictures are genuine and that you are not a fake.
After image verification your profile will show that you have been image-verified. This can be found on your main profile page on the left off your screen under your profile name ..
I hope this helps a few more understand the reasons and the process of how to go about both providing and finding the information . Please don't be shy about asking for help if needed as that's what the moderator team is here for …….

Just to add my two cents on member verification .... I've been asked numerous times to verify somone (without meeting) as it is seen as "sure once your verified it's safe to meet me". I think verification means one thing only that for example you are a couple on the site I have met you both and can verify you are a couple and not just a guy pretending to be a couple. That is all it/should mean. You don't know a person after meeting for one coffee, one meet does not make said person sane or safe or someone you would be happy to vouch for or to be left alone with. I believe it is only useful from the perspective Verifying the girl youve been chatting to hasn't suddenly grown an Adams apple so in general would have only taken verification with a pinch of salt. I think there's a real danger in people relying on verification as a sound reflection on somone who they probably met for a 20 minute chat. Also take the argument that if your new verification can help and lead to more meets which helps the individual, sure we were all new once. But please don't be naive to think someone is safe to meet just based on a verification..... Be safe and look after yourself because no one else will!
