Verified Pro Badge (Cross Post)
Quick note because a few people have messaged asking: “How do I get a Verified badge?”
The Verified badge is here for one reason: trust. This community includes touring pros and legit industry/manufacturer partners, and verification helps us keep the signal high—especially when it comes to advice, recommendations, and job-related conversations.
What Verified does (and doesn’t) mean
✅ Verified = we confirmed you’re a real touring pro and/or legit industry partner
❌ Verified is NOT a skill ranking, popularity badge, or endorsement
Why we’re doing it
There’s a lot of misinformation floating around, and hiring/applying can be messy when credentials are hard to verify. Verified helps members quickly understand who’s speaking from real experience and keeps the community credible.
