A post I wrote about verifying, this is only important that the users here who want to vote on stuff, know they are voting for the real thing, not some random person who decided to upload your pictures here and pretending to be you. So don't take it negatively in any way, I just want to make sure you are who you say you are and that the value you receive goes to the right person.
