With more and more people joining RallyPoint, which is great to see, I've gotten a few Connection Requests from members who are not verified (no green SM, V, or R next to their name). <div><br></div><div>As someone who loves networking I do not mind the requests at all but I've started trying to review their profiles looking for some things we share. It could be a unit we both served in, area that we live, interests such as photography, just something. If I met you in person, than no big deal, I add right away.</div><div><br></div><div>The question I have for the group is how much weight do you put into the whole Verified/Non-Verified thing? I know we have talked about should Non-Verified accounts be able to access certain parts of the site and whatnot; in this discussion, I'm wondering what others think when they get a request to connect from a non-verified account over a verified account.</div>

The non-verified and verified status on a networking site like this one is not a real issue with me, I tend to recognize others who serve and what we call posers or stolen valor. Sometimes it is pretty easy to see through the lies.

More than likely not going to accept - now if they send a request over to my Facebook account maybe. Some of my Facebook 'friends' are on RP, however I like to keep my worlds compartmentalized. Although my Facebook looks a lot like Merica - guns, beer, rugby, and red white and blue.

While I would prefer that personnel verify their accounts, I haven't held it against anyone (yet). But I'm sure the good RP staff is looking into ensuring non-verified accounts have a more limited access :)
