Un-Verified Accounts: What do you think about them? How long should one have to verify it?

30 days?
During that period, no profile access, no down votes, topics only post after moderator review.
Verification removes all those restraints.

A lot of opinions. It is certainly true that an unverified person my be a fake and some may not adhere to military standards. But, I must ask does every verified member adhere to military standards.

I think a set time frame to be verified is logical. If in the process an unverified member shows unacceptable behavior it is also logical to ban him/her.

I feel in agreement with this that the administration should give some time to do this in. I have had some that I have looked at with hardly no information on them some no pictures and no verified accounts. I am not in a hurry to connect with them. I just saw a picture of one guy that looks like he is about 16 in a uniform with areas he says he served I did not want to connect there either. So yes I think this is an important role. These people could be anyone from anywhere trying to pick up information on how good the veteran and military system is still connecting and information about us.

They should be on probation for 30, 60, or 90 days and booted until the verify, we do not need any enemy insiders.

I completely agree, if you take a long time to verify that you're a veteran there are two options on what the deal is. Either you're a very lazy veteran (doubtful) or not really a veteran/service member (most likely) and just hanging around to troll.

Someone please vote this thread up. Seeing a member with 49 up-votes makes my OCD go into overdrive....lol

Either your identity can be verified, or you simply need to move on. We are here for a reason. Either you belong here because you earned that by way of your service or you don't. It seems pretty darn simple to me.

I think it is time to say Thank You to the folks that serve as Admins on Rally Point. They do an excellent job of policing while still allowing freedom of thought and expression.

I am sure it is a much harder and time consuming job than the rest of us realize.

THANK YOU

I just created my rally point account today. How does one verify there account? Or does rally point do that for you?

I know PO2 Crowder gets a lot of grief but we have fake accounts stirring stuff up. Then they talk of critical thinking. They will not negotiate their own views meaning politically correct talk becomes a national obsession. It is almost neurotic. I am not going to say something is wrong as a preface and deference to liberals. Those can kiss my azz, because they never ever admit to being wrong.

They do have fake accounts and are relatively easy to tell. They are spiteful, disingenuous and vindictive. They make these accounts and then saturate debate with taunts. If a Christian believes something and does not cause problems for others... Leave that person alone! The same with Muslims, Jews, Athiests, etc.

If a Christian feels slightest the liberal always plays the devil's advocate but they are not an advocate but committing the actual sins. Christians are not perfect and most will admit that. But do not come into a debate with a totally irrelevant diatribe. If you want Christians to be tolerant, you be tolerant if they do not want to frost your fruitcake.

So those fake accounts and unverified accounts I do not acknowledge you purporting to be real, based on stolen valor of a kind and acting as enlightened person just wanting to bring peace to the world. You are not satisfied in your own skin or place in life so you inflict your own narrow brand of hate to marginalize and misrepresent. No wonder some of you diminish stolen valor. And by the way, one hater, I would love to meet you.

People. Use that critical thinking you talk of and let's show respect to feelings and opinions of others. That includes religion, political viewpoints, etc. And most Military are free thinking.
