**Verification**
What is verification?
“Verification” is the process of proving that you are who you say you are. At this time, verification is **optional**. However, Moderators always reserve the right to require a user to verify. In this case, you will be **required** to verify and may be muted and/or banned until you do so.
*How do I get verified?*
There are 2 ways to verify on r/gonewildstories:
Audio Verification:
1. Create an audio recording of yourself, stating your exact Reddit user name, a mention of r/gonewildstories or Reddit, and the current date (Month/Day/Year)
2. Example: Hello gonewildstories, this is the verification for user Throwaway2019, and today is April 27th, 2019
3. Upload the recording to [Soundgasm](https://soundgasm.net)
4. [PM the Moderators](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=%2Fr%2Fgonewildstories) with the link of your Soundgasm recording, with the Subject: Verification for (your Reddit name). Once you post, **do not delete it**. It will be checked periodically.
Picture Verification:
1. Upload an album to Imgur that contains at least 3 different color pictures of you holding a *handwritten* paper sign.
2. Use blue or black link to write the following on your sign: your exact Reddit user name, a mention of r/gonewildstories, and the current date.
3. The pictures should be taken at 3 different angles (not just straight on), with a decent image quality/resolution. Do not use any filters or photo manipulation tools. You must show the majority of your body, but you do not need to show your face.
4. [PM the Moderators](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=%2Fr%2Fgonewildstories) with the link of your Imgur album, with the Subject: Verification for (your Reddit name). Once you post, **do not delete it.** It will be checked periodically. **Do not** make a verification post in the subreddit. PM mod team only.
Verification may take up to 24 hours. ‘throwaway’ accounts can not post within 24 hours anyway to eliminate spam.”
If you think we missed yours, please do not hesitate to follow up with the Moderators.
Verification can be revoked if you delete your verification post or if the Moderators believe your verification is not authentic.
*What does verification get me?*
Once verified, you will receive a Verified Flair that you can use within the community. This will show that you’ve put some effort and energy proving your authenticity.

Just curious- given that none of these are aural, nor are they visual, what exactly does verification prove? That a person is behind the account? Uhh ok- I can stipulate to that without the proof, your honor.
Not trying to be offensive, and perhaps I’m dense, but I don’t understand the point of it on this sub in particular? It’s not proving a story is real (which is rather the point of verification on other subs)…
Ok but what we really need to know are if all these people really have “not too big, not too small, but very thick” 8 inch dicks, of which “the feeeemales don’t complain.”
Honestly I dont care if these stories are true.
So hot
Very beautiful mmm
Verification does nothing here.
Unless you were the one doing the pounding, getting pounded or both- there’s no way to verify the authenticity of the story.
Its the internet.
Some People lie on the internet, some don’t.
It doesn’t matter.
Like verification in a story sub.
I legit think this will ruin this sub. Stay with me on this.
1. Look I have zero problem verifying every part of my physique including my 7.5 “modest-not-to-big-not-to-small-but-ladies-still-loooooooooove-also-lots-of-girth” inch dick, but what’s the point? Most of the readers on this sub are sophisticated enough to figure out what stories are written by neck-beards ripping off some hentai plot. Once verification enters into the process, no matter how well a story is written, readers are going to assume it’s fake when in reality there is a myriad of reasons to not want to verify. Half the fun for me is reading stories and finding small details that assure me that something closes to the story happened.
2. Almost every story ostensibly written by a female will seem fake since in the three years I’ve participated in this sub, there have been one, maybe two, actual female writers. This sub is nothing but the male gaze- even when the authors say they’re female. And honestly, for the most part, who cares. Some of the dudes on here writing as if they are women do a good job. Some of them don’t. I think most readers on here assume anything written by a woman is written by a man, but sometimes it’s fun to imagine that there’s a 19 year old college student paying her rent by fucking all her flat mates. Verification means we’ll kiss any last vestiges of believable fantasy good bye.
Just my thoughts.
Yeah… fuck this.
Might as well turn this into r/gonewildaudio Someone should just make a new subreddit so we can all move there instead.
this is a very bad idea that can damage this sub into nonnexistentiality
I totally get why you want some sort of verification but I don’t think it’s necessarily a good idea. What’s great about writing a story is that it’s yours to tell so you can change names, details, etc. to protect anonymity. A voice recording or picture set creates the small chance that someone will figure out who you are. For me personally, that would make me stop writing here since I would very much prefer my story stay 100% anonymous.
As an alternate suggestion maybe make user flairs that mods assign based on some sort of merit system they create? That way you can still have a system where there is some sort of trust between the reader and writer that the story is going to be well written and not total garbage. Just a thought.
Verification is useless here, most people don’t really care if it’s fake story as long as it’s good. Audio and visual does nothing to back up the story and provides no accuracy since looks/descriptions can vary . Really seems like this wasn’t thought out.
