Verification Update

[EpicNPC]

We are taking a step back from ID verification and lowering the requirements so new members can post without providing ID. However the new requirement will still require a selfie photo.

Below are new membership tiers:

Registered Members
- can chat and use Trade Guardian

Selfie Verified Members
- can chat and use Trade Guardian
- can post and create threads
- can exchange feedback

ID + Phone Verified Members
- all previous permissions
- required for Verified checkmark on profile and for Trusted badge


For the time being, we are keeping phone verification with ID verification. However depending on abuse, phone verification might be moved to the second tier with selfie verification.

This is a good step forward. Requiring a selfie instead of a full ID verification makes the process easier for new members while still maintaining a reasonable level of security. However, I hope EpicNPC will also consider the privacy concerns of members who are uncomfortable sharing personal photos. Thank you for listening to the community and improving the verification process.

So...
How do we get verified checkmark?
I think I already have both phone and id verifications
