Here's the thing about 'not-a-bot'... I feel like there is not much scruitny to the verification.. Are you so eager to get verified that you will verify an account with no real scruitny, do you really know they're not a bot, have you met them or had a conversation with them even over text before this?

It should be a graph, where if you verify someone who turns out to be part of a bot-verifying-farm, you can later cut that contact out of the graph, and it disappears the entire branch of that tree of the verification network. Cool concept for now, but easily gamed in the future..

pretty sure I've already seen some first bots, spamming everywhere "verify me not-a-bot".. This is verification scrooge, be more like scrooge. It's ok to say NO.

i think yiu are overthinking. the very process of getting 5 different people to verify you involves cimmunication. if one turns out to be a bot, then revoke verification. it's simple

do you only verify 5 people, or is it more verifications to hand out the more you get verified? Ok, i admit, im obsessed with this idea lmao. you can revoke a verification?

gotcha. yeah. once 5 different people verify you, you are verified. that's it. and yes, you can revoke verifications. also, reciprocol verifications don't count. they cancel each other out.
