We have recently had a would-be poster push back hard against our verification requirement. They pushed back hard enough that I feel it bears explanation, given that some, oddly, don't seem to understand the purpose(s) behind it.

1. Consent is everything - By far the most important reason we require verification. We absolutely do not want nonconsensual voyeur photos on this sub. It is definitely kinky and fun to see, however, when we know that the subject gave express, enthusiastic consent for the photos to be taken and posted in a public forum. We're happy to allow fantasy and pretending.
2. Quality - Verification helps ensure that we have posters that really want to deliver the goods. We LOVE Upshorts pics here! We also love posters that care enough to provide awesome content and interact with the community!
3. Spam prevention - By requiring verification to post, it puts up a barrier between spam bots and the sub, without interfering much with human posters.

I hope that explanation helps!

Thanks for being a great, consensual, NSFW Community!

Yours truly,

The Moderators
