You're right on that. It would solve a lot of problems steemcleaners have to deal with. It's a great idea to automate verification and it would prevent a lot of identity theft.

Right now, although there are a lot of users with their own websites, there's a lot more users who are finding personal websites and then doing everything in their power to assume the person's identity. They stalk them on Facebook, make fake profiles on social media platforms the user may not already have, etc. All because they want to use the person's photos and work.

In 2016 there was a verification service as I recall where you send a payment in and they'd verify your account (with the information you'd provide). They stopped doing that due to the influx of users. Now we do it in steemcleaners, in the same way we did yours. We found it because someone else reported your account. They weren't sure if it was just another impostor as, as I said, there's a lot of impostors.

Your tags are off in this post btw. Utopian-io is an automatic tag that the utopian site will put on if you post through it. Jerrybanfield also has absolutely nothing to do with the site, he's another user and one of the witnesses.
