What IS the verification process?

June 01 2012

Now, I'm no Rhodes Scholar, nor am I stupid (perhaps I'm about to learn that I am hedging towards the latter.....), but can someone explain to me the verification process? What it is really and what is it supposed to be for?My profile is verified. I thought this meant that it shows other members that my photos are me. You get your little number and have to take a photo of that beside your face to prove you are, well........you! That being said, how does a profile mange to be verified with not only no face pics, but with fake photos?????Am I missing something?abcdefghijklmno

    a paid member. If so it may be only an age verification due to payment via credit card.Cheers Felonius

    I'm thinking that it's more applicable to women & couples. It implies there's really a woman behind that profile. and with the fake photos ... You get yourself verified, then you start uploading any photo you like.Best way to let people know you are real, is to write your username on the part of the body you are going to photograph & upload. Also, using a perm. marker makes it easier for the next batch of pics.

    RHP words- Verification should be seen as a positive step that a member has taken to let you know that he or she is keen for you to know of their genuine intentions on RedHotPie.   In my opinion its a waist of time as the dodgy peeps probly verify them selves more than the genuine peeps   No offence RHP : )   Pretty easy to spot a fake, things just never add up after a few msgs.   p.s. i verify this msg is from a genuine person! or is it? lol

    Quoting 'ApolloThirteen' Now, I'm no Rhodes Scholar You'd be surprised what little a Rhodes Scholar will get you these days!   Quoting 'VivaCple' and with the fake photos ... You get yourself verified, then you start uploading any photo you like. Bingo. The verification process is a completely separate process from photo uploading.   It just means there was somebody 'real' behind the profile at some stage. Ie. if your profile says you're a 40-year-old woman, at some point there was someone that looked vaguely like a 40-year-old woman that got verified. Of course I'm pretty sure you can change your details, so you could get verified as a 40 year old woman and then change your profile to say you're 25. Since they probably don't cross reference your verified photos to your uploaded photos you can upload pretty much anything.   That said, verified people are wonderful, brilliant people who should be shagged hard and shagged often. They're slightly less anonymous, and therefore slightly more trustworthy (also, someone who's gone to the effort of going through that process is probs more genuine about meeting.)

    Viva - I was sooo naive! Guess I thought photos would be checked prior to display! Thought that was why they took some time to actually appear. Sigh.... I just want to assume people do the right thing... NOT! Felonious - not reported yet, I wanna have some fun first.

    Quoting 'MrsPeachyPear' Verification simply means to me that someone has sent in a face pic of a man, woman, couple etc with their verification number. I don't assume anything beyond that really. It doesn't mean they have any pics on their profile. Never really thought about fake pics till lately.Found this at the help menu: Please note that only photos that meet our verification criteria will be successfully verified. Photos must be a clear head-shot of you (AND your partner if you are a couple), clearly holding a piece of paper that has your verification number written or printed on it. Your verification photo must match with any photos you have already loaded to your profile and/or your profile write-up. Photos are verified by real people so we will be able to see if photos are doctored or not. If during an audit your verification audit is deemed invalid or does not match your profile, your verification will be cancelled and you will need to go through the process again. Under the edit profile settings is the explanation of the verification processes, yes there are more than one

    Quoting 'MrsPeachyPear' Yep, that was where I'd seen the mention of keeping our verification pics on record. I didn't think to mention the phone verification when I first posted but to answer the question fully it makes sense to do so. Hugs... Mrs P PS Heedless: LOL @ your pervy pics! Allow me to borrow ChasingMidnight's spiel chucker for a moment to mention how lickable they are. Thankyou MrsPprobably the nicest complement I have had since joining (him any way)I was trying to peer through the looking hole see if there was any hidden gems from the public eye - alas but if that is you offering my a cuppammmm just loooove coffee - pm date and time, promise not to don my armour in publiclolHx
