Hello! Welcome to Steemit.
In order to prevent identity theft, identity deception of all types, and content theft we like to encourage users that have an online identity, post for a website or blog, are creators of art and celebrities of all notoriety to verify themselves. Verified users tend to receive a better reception from the community.
Any reasonable verification method is accepted. Examples include:
- A post or tweet on an established facebook, twitter, Instagram or other social media account with a link to your contribution on Steemit.
- A reference to their Steemit account on their website or blog.
Thank you!
I downvoted this comment.
Personally, i believe that identities should be verified. However, i believe that the implementation of any double standard is far more harmful to the platform than any consistent application of a uniform standard. If some users are not required to establish their identity, then none should be.
The post making three cents should certainly not be held to a higher standard than the one making $300.
