Question speaks for itself really. Just interested in people's views since one is very easy to achieve and the other can be (at least it seems to me) more of a challenge.

Which veris are you talking about OP? The photo upload one to prove you're real and the one provided by another user?

Real meets, where people have turned up, been friendly, sociable and played. They are the only ones that are really proof of folks being genuine.

There’s an endless stream of veries via cam and those that seem to have had a series of social meets but never played. The there’s the suspect ones where folks have only been chatting via fab for a while but not actually met.

The photo veri thing is a big obsession by fab, it merely proves people exist but nothing else.

Photo verification proves that a person is the gender they claim to be.

Verification by meet proves that they met someone and probably didn't piss them off.

For me, it:

Photo verification - only proves that someone uploaded a photo that looks like how a man/woman has been expected to look in forever.

Webcam - meh/ok.

Meeting in person - holds more weight with me but given the last couple of people I met haven't verified me, maybe I should just keep quiet

This.

The words in a veri are largely irrelevant. I'd rather not see graphic blow by blow accounts of what went on.

All it needs to say is they turned up, looked like their pics and were nice.

I sometimes look for patterns. But I don't look for "sucks like a Dyson", it's more like, do ten people seem to imply that this person respected their boundaries and was pleasant to be around? (When I first joined it was a safety issue. Wtf am I getting myself in for? But there were X verifications going back Y time that indicated that this person was respectful - I took the chance)

Photo verification is a start though! At least it proves a woman is a woman and not some dude pretending to be one. Or more common a single guy pretending to be a couple. Better than nothing

Everyone starts with no veris.

Everyone starts from the same position. There's no avoiding that. There are things you can do to help you and things you can do that will definitely hinder you.

So numbers are important as well? Better to have a few rather than loads. Im also getting the impression that veris should just be a comment how good the person was socially rather than what actually happened?

Yes! Literally in a normal pub. Nobody on the pub would know we’re even on this site. I find it a better way to meet people to be honest. Face to face rather than messages. Someone would always come out and meet you if you’re uncomfortable walking in alone.

How many is too many?

You know people shag off site and that not every meet on here results in a veri?

The number should see will never represent someone's actual activity so why would a specific number be a negative?

The same as someone with just one or two may well have just had a bareback gang bang the weekend before where they fucked 50 people they'd never met.....

This is true. I’ll admit too many veris used to put me off. It’s more the content of them now for me. People could glance at mine and think she’s been with over 20 people this year. Mine are social. I have never shown sexual ones so from a sexual point of view veris don’t really mean much x

I thought the purpose of a verification was to prove, without doubt, that the person/s in the profile are who they say they are, no more no less.

Of course both photo and meet verifications can be faked, although the effort required to do so would mean that a very small percentage would do that.

If you think verifications are there to demonstrate that people actually “play” then I think you’ve kind of missed the point of why they exist. They exist (I believe) not to demonstrate prowess or intention, but to confirm identity, and allay fear/disappointment.

In which case, given the effort required to fake either a photo or meet verification, both can be taken as 90% efficient. However a photo verification does not confirm that the age/height/weight of a person is as specified, photo mods will generally just confirm gender.

Neither verification confirms nuances (like truly single etc.). So how much of a deciding factor should a verification be? It’s one tool in a whole box of tools, but should not be used as a soul deciding factor.

Photo veries just means someone has posted a pic that is meant to be them, I've seen several returning fake accounts that are photo veried so they obviously manage to get around it every time.

Cam veris are pointless people go into the cam rooms for a few mins and get veried there so I wouldn't even look at those veris.

Meet veris just mean someone met that person and they were okay for the length of time they met for.

No one will show a bad Veri and you just add to their Veri count if you give a bad one so they win either way.

I prefer to make up my own mind about someone by chatting for a while before we meet.

I don't pay too much heed to veris on here anymore,the main reason I use them would be to avoid meeting someone due to drama that could be caused if they are veried by certain people on here.

Spot on.

And if this isn't what you was asking opp, then my answer would be.

I love cams but a veri is just brief to say yes I've seen them on cam pretty much. (only of asked to in pm)

Then the real life meet veris is when i get in my bag and start making that sound like a very specific representation of how the meet went. If it was super hot i will ou that and mean it. If it was shambolic I'll just block you

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of fab,

I take a look at my profile and realize that it is bereft,

'Cause I've been fabbing and winking so long,

That even now I think that my chance is gone.

But I ain't never met a man just to prove that I'm real,

Or met a TV just to see how that would feel.

I know I need that tick to prove I am who I am,

Cus without that veri, my mails get treated worse than spam.

I really hate to say that any hole's a goal,

But to meet, I need to get a meet and be veri'd

I'm the kinda fabber people tend to avoid,

But how do I confirm that I'm real and not an android?

Actual meet veris, whether for a social or a play date, mean the person is genuine, and matches what they have put in their profile. This is actually all anyone really needs to know.

Repeat meets over and over from regular friends are just lamppost pissing, and basically off-putting

I had a profile on here since 2008.

If I'd had one meet that was verified per month since I joined and changed the old single profile to a couples one rather than start afresh, and all of them were on display...... we'd have 168.

Which I'm sure some would see and think 'ooh, that's a lot, best not meet them as they obviously shaggy anything and everything'.

Truth be told I probably had half that number of meets per year when I was single. But nobody would have known that. So the number would be even higher.

Everyone is entitled to decide what number is acceptable or excessive of course but if you honestly think you can get an accurate picture of someone's sexual behaviour from their veris..... then I have some magic beans you may be interested in buying.

I only look at veries to see if they are consistent with the rest of the profile as well as their forum posts and private messages.

I imagine this might just be the difference between men and women on here maybe. Do you often go looking for profiles or just respond to messages where you can judge a guy? In my experience I'm 90% of the time sending the messages so all I have to go off is the profile so the veris are a bit more important perhaps.

Thankyou, super kind of you! Sounds soppy but I'm actually chuffed that you'd offer to do this at all. I'm going to have to see if I can move some things around. Man you forum folks are far too lovely!

I don’t put as much weight behind veris as I used to after recent experiences, but pic veris and cam veris mean nothing to me

I toyed between two user names when I came back on previously. Made the account in one, got sidetracked with work and then when I took my veri pic I wrote the other name it in error. It went through fine so I now have zero faith in pic veris at all.

Tbh though it’s all about how someone comes across initially for me. If I’m looking at someone’s veris then they’ve already raised a bit of interest with their opening message.

"If you have only been verified by cam, not interested.

If its a meet and played then I always look at who else they have played with.

If its too many then I stop looking.

So numbers are important as well? Better to have a few rather than loads. Im also getting the impression that veris should just be a comment how good the person was socially rather than what actually happened? "

Quality not quantity and less is more! doesn’t have to go into graphic detail

That's the first time I've heard of that happening! A bit worrying, did you report that at all? Hear anything from the site about it?

I did report it. Didn’t hear anything back.

It’s come up a few times on threads and a couple of other people said the same thing.

"This is what I thought, I just think its harder to get that first user veri. Difficult to get that if no-one will meet as you don't have one.Feel like that's the barrier you have to get through first. "

Get to social.

I’ve been in and off here for about four years now and went to my first ever social (UpTheBrum 3) last weekend, having put them off before for completely unfounded reasons.

I picked up my latest six veris from that night alone…..and it was a cracking night out, too.

"This is true. I’ll admit too many veris used to put me off. It’s more the content of them now for me. People could glance at mine and think she’s been with over 20 people this year. Mine are social. I have never shown sexual ones so from a sexual point of view veris don’t really mean much x

This seems like the better way to me. I dont really want to hear all the dirty details of who came where and what not. if anything thats a little off putting "

I met two guys recently, separately of course but both posted veris soon after with other women they had met. They were fairly graphic and pretty crass tbh so I refused further meetings with either!

I don’t rely on veris at all, there are way too many people on here who can whip up false ones with relative ease, and it seems from other replies on here that the photo-verification is easy enough to bypass. Seems to me pretty obvious that nobody would post a verification that was shit and damning so it has little credibility. I do like to see that people have turned up, been respectful etc.

I always meet first time in a public place, hubby knows where I am, and I check in and take as many reasonable precautions as I can to stay safe.

Incidentally, there are other sites where you can arrange meets through the site, thus enabling the other party to provide feedback either way, and a dispute mechanism. not sure it would be useful on here x

Hidden and no summaries are dubious.

The one where you confirm when you join is pointless to confirming anything to me, apart from they adhered to the rules when they joined.

So. A summery showing they meet or have within a year, or a shown very, saying something confirming what I read in their profile would be ideal, but. It needed. Just that they met and weren’t a crazy person.

All my veris say I'm nice. None mention that I'm a crazy person.

Make of that what you will.

None personally, most are a nauseating crock of shite. But everyone is entitled to take whatever stock they want of them.

That's disconcerting. i would have hoped that would be one of the things they would clamp down on straight away and want sorted!

Yeah I find the ones going into all the gory details a bit much. I just want to know if they're a decent person.
