The question I’ve been asked the most is “how can I get verified?”. So far only the profiles of staff members have been verified and to be honest, we didn’t expect this much interest in the feature this early. We want to be absolutely sure that we do not allow any imposters to be verified. Unfortunately, it is very easy to use someone else’s name and picture to make a fake profile. For this reason we’ve had to come up with a few conditions regarding verified profiles. It’s still very much a work in progress, but this is what we’ve come up with so far: - If your YouTube, Instagram or Twitter profile is already verified, or you have approximately 10.000 or more followers on any of these services, you can request to be verified after posting a link to your Train Siding profile on your verified social media account. Your profile names have to match. OR - If you represent a company, club or museum you can request your profile to be verified by providing us with legal documentation that proves you are authorized to act on their behalf. OR - In any other case you need to meet these requirements: you need to be at least 18 years old, you need to have at least 2.500 followers and you need to verify your identity by linking a verified PayPal account to your profile (however, you do not have to transfer us any money). We will still be at liberty to deviate from these conditions or decline or retract your verified status. Please note it will take us at least another month to make the necessary adjustments. If you have any questions, get in touch.
