Who Do You Have to Blow to Get Verified Around Here?

[Wolfenstein4096]

I swear I'm not trying to be difficult, but what's the deal with the long lead time for verification? Is there anything hobbyists who are not verified yet can do to help speed up the process? In my case, the lag from unverified to verified status is at least partially my fault as I didn't start the process immediately, but I keep hearing the same thing over and over from other hobbyists: it takes a LONG time to get verified (for most). Is there anything we can do to help?

Pay a bribe?

I hadn't thought of that. Name your price.

Verified status here doesn't mean much to providers. Well, yes, it does, but!
You still will have to get verified every time you will see a provider. Get few well reviewed and liked providers, who will vouch for you and hobby on, till you get your status here.

I have seen few gents, who don't post or read much here and for whom this verified status means nothing at all.
You can build your presence by commenting on others treads and starting your own discussions, to show your character and mood.



Good luck.

Thanks. I honestly didn't care about the verification issue until a provider insisted on it, and I have seen ads of a few providers explicitly stating that they will not see unverified hobbyists, so it's become an problem for me lately.

I have several reviews already, and I've contributed to the forum quite a bit (I'm the guy who's always starting threads at 3 AM because I can't sleep), so I'm not sure what the snag is. I do know that I'm not the only one encountering this obstacle.

Hello Gentlemen,

Yes, there is a back log. Lots of folks wanting to join and everyone has to go thru verification. Your patience is much appreciated. Thank you, thank you!

Thanks, Ellen. Just to hear that at least eases the pain.

Is only one person handling the backlog? Should a vouch request go only to CK? Anything we hobbyists can do to grease the wheels on our end?

I am available to be vetted at your pleasure, if that helps.

My process was pretty quick I just followed the steps and I know the provider sent the message same day I got the status upgrade

I'm a total newb and sure I'm missing some relevant perspective. But I'll risk stepping in it nonetheless. I'd give the new hobbyist verification system a downright shitty TCB score, to be quite candid.

I'm just going to keep seeing providers and posting reviews. If it happens, awesome. If not, awesome.

I almost wonder if this belongs in ISO Forum....hobbyist in search of mod to fellate.

Ask when setting up your rendezvous if the lady has had success with getting her clients verified lately. Some seem to have the double secret encoder ring for verification...

This is much appreciated.

Do you really think a ladyis going to say she hasn’t had success? That would be the same as turning down business.

This is my opinion. Despite my account age I still feel like a newbie to this anyways.

And TBH, my "unverified" status hasn't really been a problem. lol.
