Issue With Fake Accounts

I made [a post](https://www.dporn.co/porn/@kingdong/recruit-new-users-and-get-free-porn-tokens) to help encourage onboarding to the dporn platform and due to some individuals trying to take advantage of such an initiative, I’m bringing my concerns forward.
I have invested in this platform and very much feel that dporn can be successful, but not if we reward scammers.
### How can these individuals be verified if their signs don’t even match their usernames?
Many of these images look doctored and so I asked for more posts to be sure they were legitimate -

Within a few moments new posts went up, including this one -
https://www.dporn.co/porn/@black.erotic/excellent-afternoon

Her intro post -
https://www.dporn.co/porn/@black.erotic/my-introduction-to-dporn

These are not the same people.
It seems many of the accounts linked to queen of heart are extremely suspicious and most introduction posts are clearly edited.
I will not be supporting individuals who do this and will be downvoting those who are abusing.
I also expect @dporn to take more responsibility and care before slapping a “verified creator” badge on people.
You have a responsibility to your stakeholders and so far, I’m not impressed.

you unfairly accuse me .
The intro posts of all the ones you linked are heavily doctored. Including cut out backgrounds, fake signs, fake hair etc.. sorry you are caught but hey that’s a chance you took by your scams.
write me at discord
No.
I gotta agree with you on this one.
What’s confusing me is if someone is gonna make bogus accounts, how do they not even match up the user names. That’s a total amateur move.
ok I will take a new picture with my username because when I took that picture my account was created with a different name
my account is real it seems to me an abuse that you comment that I make false publications because the rewards do not interest me I just want to share photos and that they know me
There was an error when I wanted to create my account as @black-erotic and got another username.
but I have no problem taking a new photo with my username that I am currently using and creating a new introduction so you don't keep saying that I am a scammer because my account is also real and I was invited to be part of the community and I thought that could I post what I would like the important thing is that the public would like it or not?
Oddly your account is the only one whose sign matched your username.. why would you need retake it?
The fact that the image is heavily doctored and I don’t believe it’s the same as the one in your second post is more the issue.
Feel free to share all you want.
Yeah, seems like they could at least get that right.
so that you mention me in your posts as a scammer I don't understand
so that you mention me in your posts as a scammer I don't understand
oh if you are certainly right that the usernames do not match the introduction photo but you know that to get an account you have to wait a certain time and when I got the account I had to change the username and I did the introduction with the photo I already had but in reality I have no problem taking a new photo and creating a new introduction that if you want I dedicate it to you so that you do not continue publishing that I am a scammer

Hi, @kingdong you are absoutly right it is of utmost importance the verification is done in a better way. What is happening is they are creating the signs before they are getting the accounts to work. The invites fail, so they are stuck with getting another username that don't match with the signs they had created w/ the username they thought they would be getting.
We allowed these to pass through because we knew the person recommending the folks to the platform ( would be odd to recommend frauds but who knows) and they did show some other pictures of the individuals in question upon trying to figure out if they are who they say they are.
We were aware of the issue with the invites and usernames so we figured that is the reason for the different names. Our mistake was assuming everyone would know what was going which is cleary has led to some issues and we do apologize for it. Plus, throw in a language barrier and we end up where we are today.
The good news is we were right in the middle of re-vamping our verification system so it is good timing.
To solve this going forward:
We are re-doing our verification system over at the content portal. The issue seems that most don't go there first instead they post their verification picture right on the website. To help solve this we'll be adding "verification tab" to the site which hopefully will be obvious to them as what to do.
(3) pictures will have to be provided via the portal mentioned above.
You will see people who will post a verification picture like this directly to the site and they will assume this is good enough to be verified. What people don't know is we don't automatically give a content badge based on a post like this. We ask them to come through the portal to verify. But, this can be annoying so the verification tab should help.
To solve this current problem:
Verification badges have been pulled until the criteria above have been met above.
They will have to go through the criteria above to be approved + all signs in this case updated with correct date and usernames and resubmitted if they so choose.
Assuming they are who they say they are we can re-issue the badges accordingly.
We are in the early stages and mistakes are still going to happen but be patient as we smooth out the process.
Thanks.
The post you linked is more believable then the ones above - It’s a real person holding a real sign.
The ones who somehow made it through your process are heavily doctored.
It seems odd someone would make a verification post for an account they don’t have yet, doesn’t it? And if it was just a simple change.. why not just make a new sign? The answer is that they would have to completely fabricate the photos again.
And yes having an already “established” creator inviting frauds does make sense, as they benefit.. it’s not rocket science.
I’m glad you are working towards improvements, but you may need to recruit some new people to actually verify these photos, as these are just bad.
Thank you for watching of scammers!!!!
