Interesting. Do you know what that means?

If you hover over it, it says Name, phone number and email verified, I believe there may be an IP check as well to make sure. It is definitely an ID related thing.

Another one for today, I am wondering how many updates have we got within last 12 hrs. I just woke up and looking at the community with multiple new things is making me feel a newbie

This ties into what @frank_d talked about when he said many cool changes were coming.

Ah, alright. I can't see it on mine, and I also have all those verified. I thought that was a mandatory thing, so everyone should get it eventually? If so it doesn't make a lot of sense.

I think it may be part of rooting out the VPN cheaters.

I can't see it on mine either, and went to check where it was on your profile @newmike in case I was being dim, and I can't see it on yours either!

I see your profile. It has been added to your username. I think you didn't check it 

[mdminhaz05]

I think it only top rated seller. I saw some one and two level seller. but I can't saw it.

[williambryan392]

I am clearly being dim then because I can't find it myself. You can ignore me Mike!

The browser could matter. Ex, if I view my profile in Chrome, I can expand my review list and see more than the last five. If I view my profile in Opera, the button isn't there. Might be a Fiverr bug.

It’s phase one of the solution to a wider problem on Fiverr.

The next phase will definitely shake things up a bit. 😉

Exciting times!

I'm guessing not, but I hope that I won't have any issues given that I work away from the UK a lot.

No the next phase has nothing to do with location. It’s something bigger. 

[animie_video]

It's quite exciting and I am so curious to know that.
It could be fearful to those who're doing something wrong with this platform but I am eager to see what else is planned to find the scammers. 

Hopefully, at the end only authentic and original users will be here.

You're such a tease @frank_d!!! 😂 

[frank_d]

I wish I could say more, but I can’t do that just yet.

 

What I can say is that this new thing will NOT affect legitimate and honest sellers. 🙂

Video verification that some new users asked about?

I hope not, I'd hate that.

Actually I think this one was from Friday, I saw it days ago, not sure when. But it's not from Monday.

Let me guess, cheaters that are using VPNs to say they are from another country? Removing them would be great, you can easily spot them especially in the writing section with their bad grammar...yet they say they are born and living in the US. 

[frank_d]

@animie_video There are at least 8 more big updates coming in the next quarter alone.

@catwriter nope!

@donnovan86 that’s not it either!

[catwriter]

Well that's a relief! 😸

I've done one, when registering with my neo bank, but yes, I hated it. For a similar thing, I had that option "in the comfort of your own home", or could walk to my local post office, and have them verify my identity, via my ID and seeing me in person, guess what, I chose the walk and the wait.

It's more than enough if companies have photos of my ID laying around in the internet for my tastes, but we won't get around it if we want to play, and they decide it's the thing to do. I'll survive it, I'll still hate it, though. 🙃

I don't know about the US, but it's a big country, and I know that we, a much smaller country, have many people with bad grammar. I know what you're saying, of course, but not all of them might be cheating with their location, or disappear after a VPN check. 😉

But yes, there certainly are many using VPN to pretend being in/from specific countries.
