Im new on here and I was curious as to how a provider gets verified. Been lurking for a while but never set up an account until recently. I am not new to the hobby but am to this site. Is it safe to trust that the provider is real if their profile says verified? I find myself going back to the profile of ellena and I really want to meet her but unsure if she is actually real. I guess my question is: if it says verified provider is that 100%? Also has anyone met up with ellena? Thanks in advance
I met her earlier this year, she is real, just like her pics.
Had a good time with her... solid 7/10 session.
Only seen her once though.
I have yet to read a negative review about her.
Ellena is good to go but won't repeat. Try and find out.Quote:

So it?s safe to say if they are verified on her they are g2g. That?s good to hear.
I don't really look into that... what I value the most about oh2 is reviews posted by others... reputable users (years on the board/amount of posts/several reviews).Quote:

Verification in this forum just means that the person in question, be it hobbyist or provider, has had a minimum of two confirmed visits with other verified members of this forum. On the providers' ends, it is their duty to do due diligence in screening whom they will see. This is why different providers have different requirements, but typically require references of some kind from other providers. On the hobbyist end, when choosing to potentially see a provider, use of the search function to look for reviews or threads, is like our screening process. Making the best informed decision is essential for all of us, in order to have the best possible time, and keep our little slice of the world thriving.Quote:

I always look at reviews if I can find them and if I cant I hold off until I can. There are several providers that I have been wanting to see for over a year but they still have zero reviews and I am not willing to be the canary in the coal mine. So until then I will just dream and wait. Should I just ask a member to vouch for me on here, or how to you prove that you had a confirmed visit with someone?Quote:

If/when the lady says yes, you send a private message to ck1942 and copy the provider. The message should simply state that it's regarding verification and that you had a behind closed doors session with said provider. The provider will confirm the meeting. Do this twice and you'll get your verified status. For the sake of the process, I would have the message subject as something along the lines of Verification Message 1/2, then 2/2 later.Quote:

Providers, in the past, have been able to get verified if they had a number of verified provider contacts already on the forum. I don't think there is a workaround for hobbyists. Seeking out the reviews is good and don't be afraid to create a post in the Coed discussion for a provider about whom you're curious. You might get some public responses and you might get some DMs.
