Here is what we post to people via feedback threads if they request to be verified:
Hi there.
I've pasted all the verification info below for you. Let us know if you have any further questions.
In order to complete your account verification, we need you to do one of the following:
1) You can get verified via PayPal Authentication. Pinside will not see personal information.
2) You can get verified by making a donation to Pinside. Pinside will not see personal information.
3) If you know another verified pinsider, you can send a verification request to another verified pinsider and have them vouch for you.
4) You can get verified by providing your full name, a valid email address & phone number in this thread. Personal info will not be shared with anyone outside Pinside staff.
Please see this link to get an overview of all the ways to get verified.
