Then why not scan 2 forms of ID then? Because really, I'm not going to the effort of going out, finding a notary to sign something for a web site. This isn't a job man, it's entertainment.
Identity Verification?

I'm not sure I see a lot of value in it. On a site like Bullshido, it makes more sense. There people want to get certain tags, like the military tag or a rank tag for their art, or are involved with an investigation, vouching for people and such. Verifying identity makes sense. You don't do either of those things here.
Once again -- this is not something we're talking about as a general requirement. And Bob has mentioned at least 4 ways to be verified:
1. Attend a Meet & Greet or similar event where your existence as a living, breathing person can be confirmed.
2. Have 2 known/verified/trusted members vouch for you.
3. Internet ID services
4. Submit a notarized, redacted copy of a government ID.
Staff (above Mentors) & former staff have already been verified as part of the becoming staff.
We currently occasionally require No. 4 from some people, when there are significant concerns about their identity. That would remain an option when appropriate.

We've discussed adding tags for some things too, once we work out the verification issues.

It's for whoever wants it, in 99% of the cases. We'll continue to insist in a rare case or 2 regardless (probably average 6-8 a year that we require id proof from).
As I said, it's an optional idea we're tossing around.
Another thing I'm hoping to do again next year (this years iffy) is another road trip and meet up with as many folks as I can.

Don't have to. Show up at one of our M&G's and share a couple of cold refreshing beverages with us and we'll confirm you're at least a real person. Now that's more fun that a notary any day.

Possibly. There's a lady in Nova Scotia I've been dying to meet and shoot for a few years, so I might be alot closer.
NS is still forever away from NFLD. It would be cheaper and faster to fly to Europe then to get out to the Island....but then you wouldn't get to meet Blade.....decisions, decisions...

I'd be coordinating some paid gigs to cover expenses and am sure there's a school or 3 in that general direction that could help me cover travel expenses.Hope you could stop in NH on the way

I'm still working on getting out your way. Once I get that figured out, I'll work on planning a Canadian Tour.
