I'm brand new here in Austin and my girlfriend told me about this site, but I'm not sure how to get verified to be able to post an ad without local references? Is there maybe a way to expedite that process????
AshleyStone,
The verification process is pretty easy and as follows:
To become a member of any of these usergroups, you must first be verified by ECCIE Staff. This process is usually simple and quick, but be prepared for it to take up to 72 hours to upgrade your account. To become verified, submit as much of the following pieces of information as you can. The more complete the information is that is submitted will directly impact the speed of the process. a) your username b) links to reviews on ECCIE (other sites are ok too) c) links to your website and other advertising venues (BP, Cityvibe, Eros, etc) d) links to your profile on Screening websites (P411, Date-Check, etc) e) vouch from an established ECCIE member, either male or female. [we do not want you to have to jump through hoops to obtain VP status, and you are not required to submit ALL of the information listed above. In many cases, a vouch from a respected member is all it takes, but please understand that aside from that, requests which include minimal verification info could experience a delay in processing]
The most heavily weighted items for the Mods are a reference from an established local provider, and/or a vouch or review from an established board member. That makes the entire process much easier.
Welcome to Austin, good luck and let us know how we can help.
