Verifications are Reviews.
That's my view on this after taking a break from fab, having my adventures (learning a fair bit during that time) and coming back.
I now see verifications as reviews instead of just literally verifying that the person's pictures in the profile are genuinely the person or couple.
Reviews can be faked, and so can verifications.
So what's your take on this?

TitAdvisor. I’ve always used veris in that way - I like to give people my honest opinion - ‘Food was wonderful, banter acceptable, could have tidied up the footwear but that’s just a minor niggle. Tonguework needs more finesse but the stamina more than makes up for it. Overall, 4.5 out of 5 and would thoroughly recommend to other Fabsters.’ |

Oh, I would deduct more than half a point if the tongue work wasn't up to par. |

They're always positive though. You never read "shit shag, gave me clap, 0/10, avoid".
They're reviews in the same way quote on movie posters are reviews. Always 5 stars, never 90 minutes of sheer tedium.

"Thinking about it, has anyone ever actually seen a bad verification?"
Exactly, if anyone has a bad experience they won't display a bad verification. A bad verification would destroy a profile.
You'd just find someone deleting their account and starting up again from scratch until the person who placed the bad verification up places another one.
Then you can get malicious people who will put up a bad verification just because they want to (Joker, some people just like to see the world burn, etc) |

I only think it’s worth verifying social meets to say someone is real or if it’s not that kinda meet to just say you meet up and has a lovely time blah blah. No need for the god kisser and good oral details. At all. |

I think verifications should still remain on your profile even when someone leaves the site. Because it adds credibility.
Then again, you could find people abusing the system to create second accounts, get their primary accounts verified then delete the second account and start all over. |

You’d just hide it though wouldn’t you?
Nobody’s going to have a shit review on show.
“Met Dave last Tuesday, guy was an absolute bellend, small dick, bad body odour, bad breath, just talked about himself constantly, wouldn’t meet again, would recommend everyone stays away, utter prick”. |

It is totally weird when people go into graphic detail about the sex they have shared,just because he is amazing with you doesn't mean he will be with anyone else,that's how sex works luckily otherwise the same 10 people would be the only ones enjoying it.
I enjoy the fun verifications of Friends the most,they always make me smile but if I am wanting to meet someone I can just videocall them to check who they are. |

"I don't show mine a green tick is enough for me 
Then wouldn't having one veri be enough just to have the green tick and then call it a day."
Thats my business though isn't it. |

Don't really read them. Some of them are just crass & cheesy and read like bad porn.
I think the green tick is sufficient. I don't display my veris as whom I meet is my business but the green tick let's people see you're genuinely meeting people. |

They can actually put me off people. Some I’m like is that really the standard of person you’ve met?? Yes I am being judgemental.
I would rather they are what they should be. Verify that the person is genuine rather than a blow by blow account |

Green tick to show you are verified.
If you show your verification summary you can see how many people have verified you and how recently without showing the full details. |

We like to think that ours show people that we’re genuine and that an invite to one our parties will most likely mean they’ll have a good time.
We try to avoid any sexual references as that’s between us and them. |

We were always more interested in social veris than anything else. Couldn't care less about someone else's opinion of their sexual performance and acrobatics.
As long as they stated that they were who they claimed to be, didn't have a second head or six fingers and didn't arrive at the meet with a car boot full of bin bags, duck tape and a shovel - all was good.

I think this is kind of obvious, or did I miss something.
Oh what’s this green tick thing???

When I first joined I found them useful. Not in a "details of the banging" thing, but "X number of people met this person and had nice things to say. They're probably not an axe murderer."
Of course they can be faked, of course they skew positive, but they're one data point among several to consider. |

It seems to me that profiles on Fab have got a bit less snotty over the years. You used to see some very up-themselves profiles demanding verifications and listing all kinds of things with all kinds of complaints. It kind of put me off here at first. But to me profiles here seem a little more relaxed now? (I admit some profile types I don't look at as much as I used to). |

I think people figure out that these complaints are counterproductive, whether or not their criteria have changed at all. |

Most of them are so cringy. "Huge cock amazing in bed, best I've ever had, nurses sick puppies and is working on a cure for world hunger, definitely absolutely 10000% meeting him again yum yum yum" and you just know they never did meet again. |

I do tend to view them in a similar vein. "They turned up for X people, therefore they're marginally more likely to actually turn up rather than standing me up".

I see them as a verification from someone else that shows a person is, more likely, to be who they say they are in their profile.
All the sex crap that some of them are filled with is a review of their performance.
If that was what they were for they would be called reviews and not verifications  |

I've met people who haven't lived up to their veris.
Mine are all pretty similar, so I hope that gives a good gauge of who I am and what they can expect.
Only thing that annoys me if you leave someone a good veri after a social, with the assurance of a future meet, and then they don't fulfill that or when people don't reciprocate a veri. |

"They are often a good filter. Someone writing or displaying a veri that isn't consistent with the rest of their profile is a red flag.
"
--I've had people insist to be they are the kind of 'doms' I'm asking for (with little provided for me other than their word), and yet they have 15 veris all saying they are totally vanilla sloppy-woppy kissy-kissy love bugs! Kinksters tend not to veri, but even so.
So I suppose in some instances they are kind of useful - though maybe not quite in the way the profile owner expects them to be! |
