Hi again folks. As promised, I am posting the process to become verified before officially opening the sub for posts.

Becoming verified is the best way we have right now to help keep the spam and fakes to a minimum, which is the whole point of this community. You do not need to become verified to post so long as the rules are followed, but it can help other members know that you are the real deal.

Verified Member: This is pretty straight forward, couples can post a pic of themselves together holding a hand-written paper with the community name (r/TampaSwingersOnly) and their profile name (u/joeandsuzysexy). Please post at least three angles holding the sign. You may either post a clothed face pic, or nude body shots, but the pic must show the paper and both of you. Please post a little about yourselves, such as what you're looking for and a general location. DO NOT POST ANY IDENTIFIABLE DETAILS! For members that wish to become verified but do not want to post pics in the sub, please email them to [email protected] and message me that you are looking to become verified. Please note that any content emailed will not be posted or retained, once verified it will be permanently deleted. I will not be able to recover it for future use, so if you plan on using it as content later, make sure you keep it for yourself as well! Once verification is complete, a "Verified Member" tag will appear near your name when posting.

Gold Member: To become a Gold Member, please create a short (preferably under 1 minute) video of yourselves saying the name of the sub (r/TampaSwingersOnly), your reddit profile name(s) (u/joeandsuzysexy), and a little about yourselves such as general location (South Tampa), how long you have been in the lifestyle, what you are looking for, etc. Email the video to [email protected] and message me here to let me know you are looking for verification. Please note that any content emailed will not be posted or retained, once verified it will be permanently deleted. I will not be able to recover it for future use, so if you plan on using it as content later, make sure you keep it for yourself as well! Once verified, a "Gold Member" tag will appear near your name when posting. Note: I apologize that I wasn't able to incorporate an Austin Powers icon for this... working on it.... You can also post the video in this sub instead of emailing, but it is strongly recommended that you do not reveal any information you do not want public!

Platinum Members: Those seeking Platinum membership should follow the same video submission prossess as Gold Members. When you become very active in the community and contribute good content, or you receive at least three positive meet-up reviews from other members, you will automatically be upgraded to Platinum Member status. Once again, the Platinum tag will show near your name when posting.

Event Organizers: If you wish to become verified as an event organizer, please send me a message as to your status as an organizer, such as past events, current planned meet-ups and/or reviews from other members. Once a successful event is approved, you will have an "Event Organizer" tag appear near your name when posting.

Single Females/Unicorns: This was a tough one to figure out. At this time, unicorns may become verified in two ways - they may either send a video with another verified couple to [email protected] saying the community name, their profile name, and a little about themselves, or they may be recommend by another verified couple. If recommended by a couple, I will attempt to contact the unicorn to ensure they want to become verified before moving forward.

Single Males/Bulls: At this time I will not be verifying single males/bulls unless they are recommended by another verified couple. If you are verified as a single male or bull, you are still restricted from posting new meet up requests and may only respond to posts specifically looking for such, however a "Verified" tag will be applied to your profile.

Once again, please note that PRIVACY IS PARAMOUNT! Any information emailed to [email protected] is considered private! It will not be sold, retained, or posted anywhere! I will not be able to recover pics or vids that are sent even at the request of the OP, so please keep a copy for yourself if you think that you would like to use it in the future! DO NOT post any personal information in this sub that you do not want others to see!

I will update rules for verification as needed, but please feel free to contact me here of you have any questions or need more info. Thank you all for you patience, and happy browsing!
