there needs to be a wasteof faq page. i see too many new users who join and then ask to be verified, not realizing that’s not how the process works.

some users, like @toaks (sorry about the ping), have a checkmark next to their username. that means they’re verified. there’s not really an official way to get verified, but from what i can tell it’s effectively “don’t annoy everyone” and “don’t ask to be verified”.
hmmm, good question. maybe a list of all the current moderators and how to contact them?
although i guess the wiki currently has that, but the wiki isn’t linked to anywhere on the main website so this would be easier to find for new money wasters
The best way to contact the moderators is by reporting a post, however it would be beneficial for a ticket based system as well in the future
note that changing your username may have undesirable consequences. (this should link to the FAQ but the FAQ doesn't exist)
yes, and that needs to be dealt with as well. i’ve changed my username a bunch of times, and i haven’t experienced any undesirable consequences. making that part vague doesn’t help anyone. the only undesirable consequence i assume this is referring to is namesniping.
