In order to provide credibility for users, we're launching the ability to verify yourself and get some sweet, sweet user flair.

Why should I get verified?

• You will get some super exclusive user flair making your posts stand out from the crowd.
• You will be exempt from the rule about posting links to images in your posts/comments.
  • If this is abused your verified flair will be revoked. This is not a GW sub. Do not treat it as such.
• You will be added as an approved user on the sub so your posts will bypass the spam filter.
• You may get higher quality responses to your posts if users know you are who you say you are.

Is verification required?

No! It is entirely optional.

However, if your posts raise questions about your authenticity you may be asked to verify by the mods. In which case, yes, it is required to post. Ignoring a verification request will result in a ban.

How do I get verified?

Send a message to the mods with a link to an image meeting the following requirements:

• You must be holding a crumbled piece of paper with the following items handwritten on it:
  • Your username
  • Today's date
  • The text r/r4rseattle
• SFW or NSFW as you prefer
• You do not need to show your face if you don't want to, but it should include enough of your body to be clear, for example, that if you claim to be a 23 year old woman that you are not actually a 53 year old man. A photo with your hand holding a piece of paper is not sufficient to establish you are who you claim to be and will be rejected.
• For couples: If you claim to be a couple both of you need to be in the photo. If you verify as a single male/female and start posting as a couple a new verification photo will be required.

"What if I'm already verified on another subreddit?"

We do not honor verifications from other subreddits under any circumstances with the exception of our partner subreddit, r/SeattleGoneWild. You will be asked to verify anew for r/r4rseattle per the requirements above.

These verification guidelines are subject to change. If you have questions/feedback please comment below or send a message to the mods.
