Registered vs Varified

[Graham.C]

Hey Jimmy,

I don't understand the differences between member status. Medals won is obvious, but what is the difference between a registered user and a verified user? Is it simply if the person has been met in person? I couldn't find a post explaining it/got tired of looking, so I hope its not a repeat question.

Verified are just people who have been verified for access to the Group Buy forum. It's mostly just for Rob and myself to see who has access when administrating users.

I think it was also agreed in another post that Verified requires at least 5 posts in the forums as well.

Certified or verified?

Being verified is just a matter of being approved after the group buy request form is filled out (plus as Jeff noted, a minimum of 5 posts on the forums).

You answered that question a few posts up so it's not likely that I meant verified. Rockbottom is having an event for certified Brewnosers on Sunday.

You are misinterpreting the title of that thread.

Seeing that I won't be attending, a spy will have to tell me what goes on a 'certified' event.

Certified is just the word the PR people made Nash use instead of "fuckin"

I am registered but have lost access to the group buy page as I don't have 5 posts. Is there a reason you need 5 posts to be varified.

I think there are numerous reasons, but what we are trying to do is increase club participation. We don't want people to just join the forums to access the group buys.

My guess is that if you're an active member (participating in meetings, events, etc), but don't choose to post on the forums, that's fine too (I'm sure access would be granted).

Besides the club participation, we have guys organizing these group buys who are taking risk of ordering stuff for people they don't even know...A little extra protection isn't a bad thing.
