Verification and flair does seem like a lot of work--I didn't realize that previously. Thanks, mods! I think it's neat that this sub has sweet flair in the first place anyway!  Personally, I'm always posting photos and summaries of my sewing projects on v/sewing with my height, weight, size, and measurements all laid out for the world to see. I think I'm still pretty anonymous (or maybe I'm just naive). I do greatly understand and respect others' preference to not publicly image themselves though.  In conclusion, I just don't think it's all that big of a deal. If nothing is mandatory, then everything is voluntary, so people can just carry on doing what they're doing. I'll still carry on replying to a poster who doesn't have Flair next to their name but is still making valid posts and comments. I'll still engage in dialogue with quality-posting people whether or not they post public verification photos of themselves. I don't think this is that complicated.
