I’ve added a new option today, for members to display a blue “verified” badge/checkmark next to their name. It should give others a bit of extra confidence when contacting you, that you are not a “drive by” account & they could consider you as a real prospect for a real relationship.
How to get a Verified Badge?
All members who ever made a donation to ABFheaven have been automatically added. So any new verified members are also expected to donate. It will be $25 via PayPal. In addition, a quick voice-confirmation will be done with Admin (Michael) using the site’s voice-message system. Just a quick hello, nothing more. And that’s it, you are then considered verified and the badge is added to your name.
Is it required to get verified?
Not at all. The vast majority of members will not want to, and that’s fine. The site remains free to use for everyone and nobody is ever required to get verified.
But if you’d like to add that extra level of “confidence” for others when they see your name, and also help out the site with a donation at the same time, then please consider it.Any other benefits to getting verified?
I have added an extra checkbox to the members Search page, “Show verified-members only”. Will definitely help you stand out from the crowd, so to speak
………….
Ok, I will add more to this information soon. Contact me if you require assistance or clarification. Thanks.
Thank you Michael! 🥃 cheers!
OMG!!! Pay no attention to the crazy lady from the Emerald Isles. She is totally misrepresenting her suggestion to me. Bad girl! Go stand in the corner. For a year!! 😡🤬🤯
@juicyboobiesSo you kinda have to pay to get verified? What if you’ve already done the voice verification?
Hi littleshyone, if you already did a voice verification then yes you can simply pay via PayPal. Contact me if you want to proceed. There’s no obligation. You can continue to use the site perfectly normally without verification. It’s simply an extra option, totally your choice.
This is the literal definition of a confidence game, by the way. Just as an “aside” you’re running a con game, the way this is all worded. Just a little con game, no biggie!
No one’s identity is really being “validated” by any relevant standard, that’s all bullshit. That’s all smoke and mirrors for your $25.
There isn’t a sophisticated back-end cloud behind this thing, folks. This isn’t Twitter, people. This isn’t Facebook. There is no ID-validation scheme going on behind a curtain, anywhere. A quick hello on a voice chat isn’t *anything* LOL. You’re being sold A Bill of Goods. Do you guys know what that means? Do you folks know what a “Bill of Goods” is?
Look: if you must donate to get this badge, they are “Donor!” badges. In reality (you know, like in a court of law) you’d do well to refer to these as vanity badges for donors, which do not “validate” anyone as being anything other than a donor. Nothing more.
This is really kinda unbelievalbe. If you’ve got all these hyper/eager sheep in the paddock, midas well fleece the most willing ones while they’re here, eh? That is completely fuckin’ unbelievable, and unethical. These poor fools aren’t in control over whether they show up here, they’re addicted to it and you’re taking advantage of them. This doesn’t even sound legal, for god’s sake.
@delicatessen
Obviously you have never run any kind of web site. It costs money to do so just for the domain. Not to mention the other costs involved. Asking for a donation to help offset costs of the site is not a scam. And it not an obligation. It’s called a donation because you would like to see the site continue. If you want to talk about scams look at google, facebook etc who force you to see commercial adds and track your every move for marketing purposes.Hi Michael, I think its a great idea…! cheers, Barry.
