RE: Why its important to verify yourself as a newcomer
Question: For new users who prefer not to show their face for privacy, is there a recommendation for how they'd handle this hurdle? I ask because I have a friend that just signed up and they'd like to remain as private as possible.
Do they have other social media accounts with activity on them? Its more of a proving you aren't just pretending to be someone else than having to show who you are. They could post on that platform that they recently created a steem account and link to that in their intro post or something. Many take a picture without showing their full face but having a sign up showing their steem username for example.
Appreciate the tips. I'd imagine that they'd want to keep their other social media separate, so it sounds like a partial face it the middle ground. I wish I could go back and do that knowing that it wasn't necessary when I signed up.
If they're not claiming to be a particular person, there's no need for them to verify themselves.
