This is the “I can verify you” poster as it stands, but I don’t like the wording.

Suggestions from the professional wordsmiths @magse23, @RachaelDunlop and @AgentBlonde would be appreciated! Then I will reprint and drop it into @Pauline’s

Maybe something like “pop in to have your status verified” but the others might be able to word it better :slight_smile:

Or “pop in to have your profile verified” maybe? I like the “pop in.”

I want to convey that being Verified is a bonus, not a pre-requisite, and means upgraded access to features, access to topics in the special “lounge” category, and visible trustworthy status on the site.

Indeed, “pop in” makes it fun and informal.
Do you need to promote the reasoning for verification in any way? A few short words, so it doesn’t come across as no verify, no forum use.

Yeah I think I’ll make that clearer - dedicate most of the poster to it in fact (it can always be displayed alongside the regular poster assuming the shop is willing!

Now to think about what to write about that. And you started out just looking for a new “verified” tag line lol

Maybe we could “wear” our posters about instead?

How about a badge?

BONUS: you might get offered a seat on the train by myopic commuters :wink:

I like that @anon5422159 :ok_hand: you could still put “verified” on it to make it stand out - I’ve now put a poster in my front window as well as the normal side. I’ll ask @Anotherjohn if we can put the general poster in the shop next door until new tenants move in :+1:

And I’ll get the posters @anon64893700 brought me today out in the morning before I open, including the cafe at the pools.

Just to be clear before suggesting any wordsmithing tweaks: is the idea with this ‘verified’ poster that someone in the shop/cafe can award an SE23.Life user verified status if they pop in and introduce themselves?

Hi Emma! I have updated the instructions here, which should provide enough insight - let me know if not.

In a word, yes. Not so much award though. It’s more a process than a prize. Just shows that someone of stature has confirmed you are a human being and not a masked user account. :slight_smile:

Ah, ok! Then ‘pop in to get your profile verified’ sounds perfect.

Agree ‘Pop in’ is right.

Assumimg people looking for the Get Verified Here poster are already members and know about the process, I think you can keep the poster really simple. It’s more of a sign post than a source of information.

@RachaelDunlop yep, completely agree.

Happy with this, @Pauline and the @Wordsmithsx ? If so, I’ll print a few and do a midnight run to Sugar Mountain!

Would also appreciate any suggestions for my design, if we have any graphic artists in the house?

Help! You guys know I’m not up on IT x

Oh look, I’m in a group! claps hands excitedly @Wordsmithsx

Am not a designer, but might suggest a soft red or light blue background to the banner rather than yellow to tie in with the other elements above and below.

Ah yes, I think that’s better:

Regarding the group - you, Emma and Maggie are co-owners so you’re able to add members if you know any other local writers / journalists
