With all the fakers on this site, we need a way to prove who we are. A simple way is a verification picture. You just take a pic with a verification sign in a baggie.

Here is an example. If you say you have 7 kids and are expecting your 8th, here is how you would verify...

You could post a pic with your 7 kids and your baby bump with the sign. (You could have your 7 other kids facing away from the camera if you dont want your kids faces seen.)

You could post a pic of yourself and your baby bump with the sign and a second pic from some other time period with your kids because we could match the face in the verify pic to the face in the older pic.

Even just a pic of your belly with the sign and seven different hands on it (8 if you include your own) would work.

A pic of the sign and the sonogram together (just set something over your last name if you don't want someone to know that info).

Here is what doesn't work

Anything Photoshopped (watermarks and pimple fixes are ok, but no serious editing).

You have twins but can't produce a pic of them together with the sign.

A pic that you write Babyhold info on by hand.

An ultrasound pic without the babyhold sign.


Here is what I posted on another post about verification pictures and size editing. If someone has a problem posting or resizing, let me know in PM and I will do what I can to help.

QUOTE:
The verification pic is really easy. I have one of my face on my profile. Since I don't have kids (and since I don't want to traumatize anyone with my fat @$$ hehe) I just did my face, but it would be easy to do the same thing in a whole body picture. All you do is write your username, babyhold, and the date on a paper, slip it into a baggie, and click a pic or two with a digi camera. Thne upload it on here.

If you need to resize it, you can do that in Paint.
Right click on the picture and click "Open With" and select Paint. In paint, select Image and from the drop down select Resize/Skew. In the 2 resize fields enter 75, 50, or 25 in both fields (Always the same number in both fields). 75 is slightly smaller, 25 is Waaay smaller. Then you need to go all the way over to the right side of the screen, make sure it is scrolled all the way over, and midway down the side you will see a tiny blue dot. It is hard to see but it is there. Grab it and slide it in some. Be careful to not slide it past the edge of your picture or it will cut it off. Do the same thing at the bottom until only your picture is shown with no white surrounding it. Save your picture whhere you can find it and then come here and upload.

I just wat to say, I don't work for this website. I have no affiliation with Babyhold other than my year+ of membership. I do, however, have a lot of friends on here and I feel that this should be a faker free environment. I am doing what I can to make it that way. Anyone who is real, please do try to remember I am only trying to make this place safer for all the real people here and if you accidently get caught in the wave, I am sorry. The Verification pic is the easiest way I can think of to stop (or at least slow) the fakers.

I see what you're saying, but I don't understand how this "verifies" anything. Anybody can take a picture, make a sign, get a group of kids around them or whatever. I don't know......

Well, it's not 100% but someone can't come on here and say I'm nine months pregnant with Quads and I need names to go with the last name Hemmangioma-Smith and post a picture of a 14 year old girl holding a sign. If you want folks to believe you have quads, you need to post a pic of your belly with the sign and a pic of the sonogram with the sign, then we all know you are for real.

All right.

Ummm...I think I sound quite real here. I guess I will escape from this verification thing. Hehe... XD

Plus I posted my son's pic on here before. But I just don't feel comfortable showing my face.

Not a bad idea might do this tomorrow when Noah is awake lol
