Unverified Senior Member?

[HeatherK]

Why does it say this Unverified Senior Member
Senior Member by my avatar?

Also, how do I put my own text there?

I will vouch for her Jackie! =)

3.) From now on, if you are not verified, DO NOT Pm Jackie to become verified. Go into your USER CP, scroll down to the Group Memberships and request admission to the VERIFIED JUNIOR or VERIFIED SENIOR usergroups. If you are currently a Senior Member, you will request to join Verified Senior or vice versa. The requests will be moderated so PLEASE BE SURE you include the USERNAME of the person you met in the "Reason I want to join" field. This will be easier, faster and more self-explanatory for our unverified members.
(from that thread)

To set your User Title, go into your User CP and click on Profile or Options, it's in one of the two... it'll give you a field there to edit.

ok, I checked it all out but still don't know why I want/need to be "verified."

verified means you have met someone from SCM. it allows you to view 2 addiitonal forums of the site that we don't have accessible to the general public for safety reasons.
