Why Not Verify

hey just a quick question...

if you are on the site and posting pictures why wouldn't you get your profile verified? I'm particularly thinking of women who seem to have been on here for years and who post pics and have gold membership but aren't verified...Like, are they paying for their membership? Why not just verify and get it for free?

Makes me wonder if some people are who they say they are.... Fairly rare to find verified female profiles here...

PS. sorry if this is in the wrong section, didnt really know where to post it..

Old rules said if you posted a certain number of times/frequency, you could get gold without verifying/paying.

I see no benefit to verifying... and the detriment would be random men contacting me because I’m verified female. Anytime I posted a picture, it led to several random messages of “hey” or “wanna skype/kik/Cam?” from people with whom I’ve had no interaction. Yawn.

I’m verified, but Mr. LPSG had to hide my pic due to threats I received from a male member.

It’s not always safe for a woman to have any pics available.

if you are on the site and posting pictures why wouldn't you get your profile verified? I'm particularly thinking of women who seem to it..

Way back in the day Gold Membership could be attained by taking a photo with LPSG in it, the photo did not have to be nude, just a photo that could tell you were a M / F , with a sign or some other kind of writing. The site evolved, and the rule changed, you had to include a degree of nudity to the picture / sign to become verified. I lived in the chat room, once upon a time and at times was on cam with less than a full set of clothing. Soooo, I said trust me I am a male, there are a few dozen members who can attest that I have a penis ha ha


I think my second Gold Status came from my posting history, as I once posted a lot / daily

I pay at least now, to help support the site, so I am Gold - Platinum .

Sorry to hear about harassement and abuse women have suffered here.

I can well understand not having any photos visible and wanting to maintain privacy. To be clear I was talking about people with gold memberships who do have plenty of photos visible but no verification photo, but as you've pointed out if they've been here a long time it's possible that they may have obtained their gold status by other means. And perhaps being verified attracts unwanted attention.

Thanks for enlightening me everyone.

Completely.

On a previous site I swapped profiles with a (woman) friend for one night, "sex change lite" if you will. And it was an eye-opener! As you say, the endless ranks of single, monosyllabic males throwing themselves at you like salmon up the stream becomes most off-putting very quickly.

That site had ways to control who could contact you and how but it never stopped the men trying.

cheers
further clarification as you have that thirst for knowledge

perhaps,some of those/us,who have gold
the former owner rob,generously gave gold membership to any member who reached 1000 posts

i think he had gold medal fever as the olympics was on

personally,i dont feel obliged to be verified as human,indeed change anything on here
my 100 percent gay,for instance
could readily reflect the real me,if i felt inclined to bother changing it

ps
i love bi's
funnily,ive seen idiots hating on them,as well,geeesus

but as you've pointed out if they've been here a long time it's possible that they may have obtained their gold status by other means
