What happens after I apply for a verified badge on Short Stories?
Updated: April 22, 2020
* {siteName} will never request payment for verification or reach out to ask you to confirm your verification.
Once we review your request, you'll receive a notification letting you know if your account has been verified or not. If your request is denied, you can submit a new request after 30 days.
Keep in mind that {siteName} can remove verified badges at any time, and may take away your badge or disable your account if you:
- Advertise, transfer or sell your verified badge.
- Use your profile picture, bio or name section to promote other services.
- Attempt to verify your account through a third party.
If your account doesn't have a verified badge, there are other ways to let people know you're authentic. For example, you can link to your website or social media accounts.
