I asked about this too....and was told it wasn't necessary...but it might be when Steem rises -"they say, to make you more valuable which is a penny of two. I couldn't get a verification badge because I wouldn't publish a picture of myself with steemit written on a piece of paper to prove I am not a bot and that I am who I say I am....they told me to write on my arm then and take a picture. How that would prove anything, I don't know.
I am obviously not a bot either but that wasn't good enough for them.

It is something I did since I have not posted any pictures to prove I am a human, obviously writing great ideas can help with that as well.
