Thread: Verified Accounts

  1. #1

    Lightbulb Verified Accounts

    There are too many boogus/fake accounts on classifieds ads listings.

    It will be very useful to add the possibilty to "verify" accounts/profiles, like in social networks. That will bring more trust to customers.

    I agree there should be a verification plugin sometime down the road.

    The plugin should have features including:

    - Individual notes on user accounts
    - Ability to attach to save jpg, pdf, etc to a user's account (auto-deleted, see below)
    - Verification symbol next to the username

    I would use it to attach business cards to verify that agents are truly agents of a company.

    The escort software could use it to verify age by requesting identification.

    Verification is standard for likely all social medial accounts:

    .................................................. ...............................

    Facebook provides the following information when verifying accounts:

    We may encrypt and store your ID for up to one year to improve our automated systems for detecting fake IDs. Your ID will be stored securely and will not be visible to anyone on Facebook.

    If you don't want Facebook to use your ID to improve our automated systems for detecting fake IDs, you can adjust your Identity confirmation settings. If you turn this option off, the copy of your ID will be deleted within 30 days of submission or when you turned this option off.

    Hi

    My previous classifieds site used GeoCore and the process they used was to charge $1 via Paypal to Verify your account. Once you did this you got a nice "Account Verified" image next to your username. Almost all of my users paid for it! It was something they wanted and the $1 charge was irrelevant to them obviously. Would be good to have something similar here too.

    But already exists verification by email on Flynax. It is default functionality. Account will not be active until users verify their account via email.
    Also, exist SMS verification plugin for it. Need to verify profile via sms.
    Viktor,
    Flynax technical department,
    Best wishes.

    Hi Viktor

    It was not designed to replace the registration verification processes at all. The idea behind this $1 payment was that a spammer would almost never pay the $1 to gain "Verified User" status. This is why it was popular with users to see that another user had the Verified User tag on their account. It gave them some idea of the veracity of the other user. Users cannot see, for them self, the checks made on other users during the registration process but they can physically see the Verified User tag and while not foolproof it did prove very popular with users.

    At the moment, the closest solution is you can enable membership option in flynax admin cp and create a free and paid membership. Then add the icons for the membership that is paid. It's an easier solution
