RE: Is This Hive's Verified Check Mark?

Time invested and consistency I suppose. And of course it's wrong to judge someone based on that number. Can easily see a new account a mile away though. New accounts can see at least some level of experience without knowing you. And like I said, one can still question it, and look into the account on their own, provided they know what to look for, and get a better feel for it. Can't do that with a paid for status symbol.
