And another bump! Still receiving reports by companions that some fellows erroneously believe they can avoid screening if their onsite designation indicates "verified." That's a definitive NO, and newly-validated H2 gents, please thoroughly read the PM that the chief admin ck1942 automatically sends you upon your status change, and also see his signature line, which states:
"Verified hobbyist" is a member title; it doesn't mean the member has been screened/vouched to any companion's standard.
Thanks. -- FIH/staff
