Steemit recruitment has stalled

When you say verify your account, are you referencing the badge that you have at the bottom? Wherein you're supposed to send in a photo for identification sake...? Because that seems like it throws a loop in the whole anonymous communication idea.

There is no official verification of identity here that I know of. They tie the account to an email and were using SMS. My badge is from Steem verify who charge a small fee to do a manual check. It's not obligatory to do an intro post with a photo, but people do that to prove the account is real. There are still ways to get a more anonymous account if you want it. I don't need that.

Steemit Inc are more concerned with reducing the number of bulk accounts that get created by scripts. See this update

I see what you're saying. Yea I have no need for anonymity either. I havent given out my real name yet, but that just keeps everything funny.

I could understand how having large numbers of accounts as bots would sway the system as a whole.
