Thank you Tony. No offense taken.
Thank you Tony. No offense taken.
I agree with you - Blueice, Blobbles and Tony in all that you wrote above. I also understand that this verification is NOT the end all to save all. Like you said, it is a tool. The people I do NOT trust are those who do NOT verify, not those of us who have verified as a sign of respect and support to all other users and the staff.
This is not about Trust - it is about the lack of trust. I trust those who verify and I dont trust those who do not. Transparency! Those who verify have nothing to hide. I trust some here not only because of the verification but also because of the content of previous posts and the ability to write a correct and complete sentence in english. I don't need to be the Chengguan of verification because the staff is taking care of this by themselves. As I have contacted Yereth privately, I am well aware that several Bots and spammers have been banned, and numerous idiotic threads have been locked in the last few days. So I know they are doing their part to help this forum be free of those troublemakers.
I merely asked a question, I did not attack you. You did not update anything, you made a comment that has nothing to you with your original post. That is why the moderator locked your thread - Who majored in Finance?
Like me - you guessed/recalled and got yourself verified. You got the job done, you took the time, and you accomplished the mission. For this reason, I trust you more then I would someone who has not verified yet. Somehow, I trust or feel safe that you are NOT using any of these aliases.

I am not a computer guru so there is much I do not know. I am just a retired jarhead who calls a spade a spade. I wonder why these people do this. Are they just bored because they are losers and have no life? Are they trying to put a virus on my computer when I reply? Are they trying to steal my identity or access my bank account? Are they people with mental disorders? I don't know. And because I do not know, I do not feel safe and I do Not trust. I remember when GoKunming was a great forum to get and share information and to develop friendships with other expats. This is no longer the case because a few bad apples have spoiled the whole bunch. Perhaps I am too sensitive or perhaps a few others feel the same way I do.
@Ouyang and TIC - Yes, you were not aware of this verification process but now that you have become aware of it you reacted immediately and completed your verification.
I am still wondering why some users still comment here but do NOT verify? What reasons would they have for not verifying? Rhetorical question.
@Dazzer - Unless people know the purpose of email verification, and are confident in the process, they won't do it casually.
I guess when you say People, you really mean Yourself as you have not verified yet.
There are spambots and there are spammers. Do you fit into either of these categories since you did not verify?
Just asking an obvious question -
No results found.
The new Visa office is located at 118 Tuo Dong Road. There is no number on the building yet so do not bother to look for it. There are 2 passport photo shops on either side of the building. The office is located directly in front of the Kunming Museum. The bus stop is named - Shi Bo Wu Guan - Bus 1, 62, 109, 117, 145, 213, A1 and K3 stop directly in front of the office. Foreigners need to go to the 3rd floor. The Tuo Dong Stadium is located to the right of the office while Baita Road is located to the left of the office.

Holiday operator suspended for violating national tourism laws
Posted byGreat!!! Finally!!! Glad to see this is now finally taking place. My wife and I were trapped in a Honk Kong tour for 2 days with the same type of evil person as described in this article. They held my wife's passport so we could not leave on our own and kept us trapped in a bus for hours were we had to listen to the BS the tour guide had to say.
Around Town: China's last narrow gauge passenger train
Posted byShizui - 石咀 - Stone Mouth - Now that they are building the subway line along Chun Yu Road in Majie I hope they fix the entrance to this station. Few people even know it is there and are probably not aware that they can get on the train at this station.
Right across the street from this station is Horse Racing Park which is still under renovation. There is a nice temple as well as a small zoo which includes ostrich, camels, yaks, and monkeys.
