We have seen posts that claim we require an uncensored State of Minnesota issued ID to post. That is not the case.

The occasion that we do ID verification is for low karma and new accounts. Which is a supermajority of the time when we do it. But we don't require an uncensored state issued ID. When we do verification, we just require the DOB to be visible and that it is a Minnesota ID. We don't need, or want, anything else. The rest is to be redacted. On rarer occasions, like if we get indications that someone is posting someone else's material, we ask to see the photo as well.

What happened was inconsistent application of this policy between moderators. That has been rectified with the removal of the mod. We apologize for the concern and frustration our members have experienced and we hope this gives clarity and reassurance to our lovely community.

If you're concerned about the actions, words, asks, whatever, of another mod, please feel free to reach out to a different mod directly.
