Hi members!

We're very excited that the personal galleries are taking off so well and that many members are uploading photos!
We also know that sometimes profiles and photos are fake, and that these members abuse the trust of the rest of us.

Even though we know you try to be as careful as possible, we wanted to find a way to make this issue easier on all of us and help protect from scammers.

If you have a profile photo of yourself uploaded, and want to prove to us that it is really you, please send me a recent photo of you holding a piece of paper saying "I love Englishforums" (or come up with something else ).

Send this photo with the subject "I am real + your username" to photo @ englishforums . com (remove spaces) and I will then add you to a trusted role, where this icon will be shown under your profile picture in your profile:


Or you can just upload this photo into your gallery and then we can compare who's uploaded the most creative photo!

You can view the people who have been accepted into the "Trusted Profile" roll by clicking here. If you want someone to prove they are real, make sure to send them this link!

And again: only people who have photos of themselves in their profile and they want to have the Trusted Pic/Profile roll need to send me this photo. Otherwise only needed if an admin requests it (read guidelines point 20). If something is unclear, feel free to PM me.
