If we aren't able to become a bluesky official verifier, then we will hold a poll asking if this service should be continued as we continue to do what we can and perhaps attempt again later for the ability to apply blue badges. This is for safety of industry members first and always! Thank you <3

We are on pause til then, but it shouldn't take long. And don't worry! The requirements as far as notability will not be changing much if at all! AND we are adding additional people! Verification requests will be handled by email in the future, as soon as we get back online.

Is your account fully authenticated with bluesky, such as email verification?

You absolutely should be able to DM this account if your Bluesky is fully set up!

Aye-aye!

We would LOVE your feedback on these guidelines and appreciate your patience as we work to create the best version of our service possible- and continue to uphold our promise that this will NEVER be old Twitter's high hurdles, as we hope this shows!

From here on, please use our open DMs to request!

AS AN ADDENDUM AND WARNING:
This service should never be used as a casting list or treated as an elite clade. It is for safety and SAFETY ONLY. The operators of Verified Observer are strict believers in the benefits of open auditions. Now, if you want to use it to browse cool people THAT you can do!

The real verification comes in the form of our labels, viewed under a person's bio and on posts! That's the gold pip to trust!

If you are seeing this thread, welcome! You probably got here from someone quoting it who has just been verified by us! Please sub, click the 3 dots beside it, and follow!

Thanks, and glad to have you! this thread will be rewritten as needed, and updates will be posted, so along with subscribing to the labeler, we highly recommend you click the 3 dots next to it and FOLLOW the labeler as well so you see those posts!

Now notably, this labeler does NOT exist to verify every person that has bought a mic or made a youtube account. This label must be strong enough to have meaning and also not take every minute of my day looking at requests. Consider VAC Discord's 'pro' role for instance. It WON'T be a huge high bar.

Current categories in the scope of this labeler:
Voice Actors
Content Creators

Next categories on the list:
On Camera
Artists
Authors
Musicians

*More accessible verification guidelines are in the works while we determine a safe and ethical 3rd party method of verification. It will however always retain the aspect of being personally verified. No automation- only safety and community!*

Now, lets talk method. We intend to keep this safe and honest. If you ARE a working professional, you ARE.

CURRENT VERIFICATION METHOD:
Only individuals known by the creator or which can be vouched for by one will be verified via direct DM through a separate platform, confirming account ownership.

Please read this thread for current information regarding our process! We are currently in early stages!

This service takes both money and time to upkeep, so if you'd like to donate to help us continue and make sure a less transparent service does not take its place, you may at paypal.me/ghaspey!
