Wether or not they have a photo actually posted on there profile if the profile has earned the badge of verified then that would at least tell me they took the time to verify with pictures and id that they are who they say they are but if they send pictures not of themselves that they used to verify or if you cant tell that pic is the same as the verified user then that account should be flagged for review

And if not required photos at least have an option for members to have a verified photo option that can only be 6months old so that real serious user can create a profile with their picture and I.D. to verify they are who they say they are and makeing it mandatory to verify every 6month to keep that verified badge would let ppl know that specific profile is legit and allowing us to filter for verified profiles then eliminates alot of fake profiles not worth the time interacting with.
