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

I like that @anon5422159 
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 
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. 
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.

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

As I made quite clear in my response to the matter, it was indeed a matter of taking the moral high ground, rather than bowing to a cheap shot with threatening undertones.
Rest assured that I for one didn’t take the posters down to appease anyone,. But instead gave consideration to the possibility that we had over stepped the mark with over enthusiastic advertising, and decided that we should undo it, and reconsider how we go about advertising.
Glad that in the 12 hours or so that they were up, some great users like yourself joined the forum and already support what it is trying to do for the local community.
Thank you for joining @Sealink
Fix My Street are just a middleman for forwarding issues to the relevant authorities. With this in mind I updated the report to show it was fixed, and we made contact with any authority who may have wasted valuable time following up on an issue which was resolved.
