  How do I get verified? I’m jealous, so how did those who got verified do it?

  Bubba, I can only speak for myself, but for me it was about getting in on the ground floor rather than having to jump through hoops later. I know it doesn't mean much now, but I also suspect that it wouldn't be there unless founder had some future plans for it.

  I have no idea how I became Verified. I assume it is because I purchased a lifetime membership.

  Rick, agree I'm guessing it has a good chance of reducing the number of knuckleheads who are not posting reviews, it only nonsensical threads.
  
  Subra, I'm with you... Never been any more proud to be unverified.

  @bubba
  >The is NO BENEFIT to being a verified member on this site at this time.<
  
  That’s what founder said there’s the qualifier
  >at this time<

  25, knuclehead reduction is already a benefit in my eyes. We'll see how it all pans out. I appreciate Founder's efforts to improve the experience.

  Unverified member posting here. What did rick and papi do to become verified ? Buy a lifetime membership ? Or go out to Vegas and buy founder a bunch of VIP sessions ?

  ^ You need to get your birth certificate and three pieces of identification, then present yourself at the border, and ask for asylum. ;)

  I think the only way to get it, if founder won’t manually change it himself, is to pay for VIP membership for at least one month.

  I *believe* that paying the fee, writing an article, or writing a review will get you to VIP status, but not 'verified member' status.
  
  To become a verified member, I think that founder has to have net you in meatspace, or someone that founder trusts has to have met you in person.
  
  I think that Shadowcat got a bunch of users verified because he's a long-time veteran here and has met approximately 60 users here.
  
  I also believe that Rick Dugan got 'verified member' status based solely on length of service and level of participation.
  
  Ultimately, it's founder's call.
  
  I'll probably never be 'verified'. I'm pretty private and cautious about this side of my life.

  I bought 6 months of VIP for the first time, just to show support for founder for putting in so much work to improve the place (even if it's not the improvements I would have wanted). So perhaps I'll be verified soon. Or not. Wildcard, bitches!

  Lol. Well considering IceyLoco is considered verified, I think we can agree that the algorithm is currently flawed lol.

  well, after reading Founders Welcome to VIP thread, he gives you all the answers about being Verified.

  Even if there’s no advantage *now*, there likely will be at some point. At which point I suspect everyone’s status will be reset back to unverified anyway, so that it actually *means* something. :)
