Hi members!

We're very excited that the personal galleries are taking off so well and that many members are uploading photos!
We also know that sometimes profiles and photos are fake, and that these members abuse the trust of the rest of us.

Even though we know you try to be as careful as possible, we wanted to find a way to make this issue easier on all of us.

If you have a profile photo uploaded, and want to prove to us that it is really you, please send me a recent photo of you holding a piece of paper saying "I love TCP" (or come up with something else but include the words TCP or thechatpage).

Send this photo with the subject "I am real - your username" to photo @ thechatpage . com (remove spaces) and I will then add you to a trusted role, where this icon will be shown under your profile picture in your profile:



If I get a feeling the picture has been photoshopped, I might ask you to send me another one from a different angle.

You can view the people who have been accepted into the "Trusted Profile" roll by clicking here. If you want someone to prove they are real, make sure to send them this link!

I will NOT show ANYONE else the photo you are sending me, for my eyes only. I hope you like this idea and I hope even more that I'll be getting lots and lots of photos

And again: only people who have photos of themselves in their profile and they want to have the Trusted Pic/Profile roll need to send me this photo. Otherwise only needed if an admin requests it (read guidelines point 20).
