What's new!
Hey everyone. you've seen it, we've seen it, the bots are relentless, we have tried over years at this point to try and battle them to no avail keeping the subreddit open so starting from today all posts on r/EdgeTogether will be from users we have verified are real. This is a huge change but one that is the only logical way forward to ensure our community is safe from these harmful bots.
if you don't want to be verified you will still be able to interact with verified users posts in the comments and there will be a sort of hub posted and pinned every few hours by the automod to find people who are active and ready to have fun with, there is more information regarding this on the post itself.
How will it work!
ok lets get into how we will verify you! its very simple, we completely understand and respect that our users want to remain anonymous when they are here and our verification process will honor that.
The verification will be courtesy of a simple piece of paper with your USERNAME, DATE, SUBREDDIT NAME you will then scrunch it up, unwrap it and take a picture of it. If you want you are welcome to have yourself in the image (no NSFW), as long as we can see the paper clearly but of course this is completely up to you. we ONLY need to see the paper.
USERNAME
DATE
SUBREDDIT NAME
Please make sure the text is visible and clear for us to see. we will be verifying everyone manually so get it ready first before you send your first message to us, we will make it as fast as possible but bare with us at first as we will likely have a huge number to approve. thank you! Any date after this one will be fine as it may take us some time to get to your submission.
How to submit your verification!
To submit this image to us it will be through the modmail, please title the modmail message VERIFICATION. The modmail is a direct form of communication to the mod team, you can find this above the list of moderators in the see community info section of the subreddit it looks like a mail icon, PLEASE DO NOT DM US we are still all reddit users and our DM's will be full of other chats so we may miss it.
- The first way you can do this is by simply posting the image to your own reddit page and sending us a modmail message with the link to your image, something like, i would like to be verified (LINK)
- The second way is to upload it to your redgifs page, you can have the image be private there but the link will still work the same way. Like the first option a simple message to the modmail with the link to your image post.
- Lastly you can use imgur with the same method, again a simple message and the link attached to it.
we wont accept any other website link as we know these options are safe.
Criteria to be verified.
it is at the mods discretion whether we approve you or not, we have some relatively strict things that you must meet in order to insure we are verifying people who actively want to participate in the subreddit and are not bots or sellers.
- Have an account over 28 days old - This is for a few reasons, 1. often times bots will make brand new accounts. 2. so we are not verifying people time and time again when they delete their account after a few days.
- Have posts and comments in other NSFW subreddits - This is because, 1. more often than not bots/sellers will buy accounts and often will have completely unrelated posts in random subreddits. 2. posting in other related subreddits especially edging and denial ones proves to us you are here for the specific edging kink.
- If you have any links to paid services or post in OF promotion subreddits you WILL NOT be verified. While we fully support OF/sex workers here this isn't the place to promote it, there are other subreddits for that. we understand if this is harsh however we do not allow any use of the subreddit for monetary gain so we are not taking the chance.
Why this verification method
Like i mention earlier we understand users want to remain anonymous here and we are respecting that hence why we are using a piece of paper rather than a face or voice. Why a scrunched up piece of paper you ask?? Well the simple reason is a really dedicated person who has a number of bot accounts could easily photoshop or ai generate a flat piece of paper with writing on it whereas one with creases and rips is much much harder to replicate.
Thank you!
We know this is a huge change round here and one we hope people will warm too and your experience will be a much better one. If you have any questions please leave them in the comments and we will answer them.
Little added note, please bare with us in terms of how long it takes to get verified, we are working on this in our free time and we are a small team so please be patient with us! If you have sent in a modmail to get verified we WILL get to you, please don't send multiple as that just slows us down. (Most likely to be verified on a weekend)
All the best - Mod Team.
