Where are the account verification procedures that used to be present here when I arrived ?
I have seen an introducemyself post this morning which I must say worries me. Such a high payout with no true verification offered by the holder of the account !! It seems he has also a reputation of already 50 without even made a post !! I proposed that the person go and find a better verification method than the Youtube account he loosely mentions in his short paragraph of introduction ! I have not as yet received a reply.
Where are the verification procedure,s which I was forced to follow when I joined ??
Here is the post in question, what are your thoughts to this ??

I commented on your flagging... If you think that something dodgy is going on you should be able to find some proof in the block-chain, but he did get a lot of upvotes and comments from people - I can't see that should give you rights to flag.
EDIT: Blocktrades upvoted him that's probably your explanation. https://steemd.com/@jerryscary
Hello @katharsisdrill... well actually you did very well to intervene as the situation was not good I agr I agree. Flagging is a terrible thing to do, did not enjoy it and i was happy to remove it !! luckily i did head your good advice as he has now verified himself and so it would have been truly a bad story. So I thank you for speaking up actually and putting things back togehter !! Steem On katharsisdrill )
No problem, @Gomeravibz. Sometimes the emotions can get you a bit over the edge. Especially after all the fuzz with Jpiper20's plagiarism. Things like that happen.
just saying that some the upvoters might be part of the team. perhaps check if they frequently upvote introduce oneself posts
I dont think there is a problem really with the upvoting as indeed this was an introduction post, so I think that was actually a good thing to welcome a new user with a high reward and is the right thing to do ! But it was more that there seemed to be a long delay in the reply from the user so this i suppose heightened the thing out of proportion. Its been resolved now and the verification was made. So this is a good thing i think. I also have welcomed and apologized to the user @scaryjerry . thanks for your comment @tocode, talking is a good thing here.
@gomeravibz, you do have a point here, checked out the link and that's not really how we should verify ourselves. I'd like to see a human on the picture holding the "Steemit + date of entry + name paper".
It's funny that it outdid the other introduce yourself post though.
yes you see what sounded the alarms in my head then?? I think actually this should still be looked into still !!
@gomeravibz hmm. maybe you should go to steemit chat or talk to a witness - I recommend @klye
ok so do you see something that worries you here then?? Clearly yes !! I will check him out, but I I am not sure I know the procedure to do that !!
@gomeravibz just tell him and if they don't reply soon don't be insistent - those people are very busy I think, and next time don't just flag a post -
avoid that. It could discourage a newbie.
Just ask the Steemit police or witnesses and let them take care of it.
Good luck, I haven't talk to any of those witnesses yet.
Hey I would really like to that you @englishtchrivy ! I really appreciate that you take such interest and give me this very good advice to follow in this situation. I shall most certainly will not flag next time !! perhaps I could send this post link to this guy ?? Then he has all, especially this comment section. I take it you are English then ?
Hey there @enlishchrivy.....well i am going to flag this with another guy who is not best pleased either by how this post has developed. would be nice if you could support this action !! i shall be taking contact with that witness you suggested as this does not please me too much !!
