@OneEagle Yes, exactly — with my current approach, users must verify before they can even access the registration form. So every new sign-up is automatically a verified member by default.

But I completely understand the distinction you’re making. What you’re describing is not the same as what I implemented. You’re talking about a value-added Verified Status that becomes part of the membership system, similar to X Premium or Meta Verified, where verification is optional, paid, and tied to enhanced visibility and priority.

And on that point, I absolutely agree with you.

My implementation solves only the basic identity verification side. It doesn’t provide:

• A visible verification badge
• Paid verification tiers
• Algorithmic ranking boost
• Search priority
• Impersonation protection
• Post/reply reach boost connected to membership levels

Those features definitely require native UNACMS support and are exactly what the ecosystem needs in order to stay competitive and help platform owners monetize effectively.

So yes — while my approach enforces universal verification for security, the real value you’re talking about is a premium verified profile system, and I fully support that direction. UNACMS should absolutely consider adding this as an official enhancement
