Exactly! This is the first tab I clicked on in Steemit because I participate in other forums and don't want to make newbie mistakes. I am confused by the Verification section as this is not on other sites. Can anyone discuss?

Link to verification article: For other new people like me just reading this: https://steemit.com/steemit/@reneenouveau/verification-and-you-how-why-how-to-ask-and-how-not-be-a-usd-about-it

Thanks for the link! much appreciated!

I'm also looking forward to hearing from Daniel Larimer (Steemit Co-Founder). I was reading one of his posts

https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@dantheman/daniel-larimer--co-founder-of-bitshares-steemit

and this jumped out: "...the premise that everyone who brings value deserves a share"

Based on that I'm guessing that the verification (however long it takes --- mine was three days) is to prevent the flood users intended to abuse the system.

This is one incident that comes to mind:

Interestingly...the verification process was put to the test by @devi1714 (he created 15 accounts which all took a week to get approved)

I like your moniker, theobromine. I love good quality chocolate. Sorry, I can't answer your question though. I'm trying to learn also.
