Mary Worby wrote: http://www.proz.com/?sp=vid_application&viewPage=apply The above is the form to apply for VIDding. You can apply if you paid for your platinum membership by credit card or if you have one of the specified moderators in person. Only specific moderators who have themselves been identified in person have the right to VID other members. HTH Mary | | | Ralf Lemster Germany Local time: 02:57 English to German + ... Won't work this way, I'm afraid | Jan 9, 2004 |
Hi Brandis, apparaently it is not getting me any further. missing (Tick). Next if not 3 weeks a friend would pay for my extension. Not sure if I understand what you would like to say here...? The payment goes to my favour ( extending membership). How does anyone tackle this. Thing is, how is ProZ.com supposed to check your identity if your membership is paid using someone else's credit card? I'm afraid the only way you're going to get VID'ed without using a credit card issued in your name is to attend a powwow this year - note that those moderators who have VID authorisation must meet you in person to confirm your identity. Also, to do it this way, we must ensure that your full name is in your profile - as a consequence, you would need to openly display it (assuming it is in your profile) until VID has taken place. Best regards, Ralf

Best regards, Ralf [Edited at 2004-01-09 14:16] First of all, thank you. Proz.com would be having my port numbers (IP) to track the transaction, and I as an individual may wish to choose a fancy name. All that does not lead to the goal. If someone pay in my favour,( next week this could be a friend of mine, using his credit card, paying to favour me), my membership would be extended ( which is not a question), or it could equally be that I, out of convenience pay in cash. Then the tracking would not function. But I am in a position to supply information, track id, time and dates and channels of payment. I had contacted Proz people alredy in this regard, they might give some solution or even change the design in this regard, fitting the multi-requisite, or they might even inform me, of only a few choices being open as legal. But I still have paid, regardless of which channel ( I think and I know that I have a right to get this TICK or Marking on the site) I am trying to understand the situation.

Hi again, Brandis, But I am in a position to supply information, track id, time and dates and channels of payment. I had contacted Proz people alredy in this regard, they might give some solution or even change the design in this regard, fitting the multi-requisite, or they might even inform me, of only a few choices being open as legal. Of course there could be countless ways in which a site could check one's identity. But these would need to be agreed upon on a case-by-case basis - which isn't feasible given the number of members, I'm afraid. Hence the three standard options. But I still have paid, regardless of which channel ( I think and I know that I have a right to get this TICK or Marking on the site) I am trying to understand the situation. I think you may be mixing up two things here: Platinum membership is what you have paid for - this gives you access to certain site areas or functions, plus various other benefits. VID is independent of paid membership - it's possible for non-Platinum members to be VID'ed. The fee payment being used as evidence of a member's identity is a matter of convenience, but Platinum membership does not confer any right to get one's ID verified. Hope that's a bit clearer now. Best regards, Ralf | |

Best regards, Ralf it is S.R.Bandi ( but I am known as brandis)There were times, when I had sent the mailback or even deleted and reposted under the S.R.Bandi, mentioning No S.R.Bandi available at this address. I had to stick to brandis, as it is short and easy to memorize. This is the main reason I am so loyal to this other name. But let us see which other changes and or conveniences the site may undergo.

Well, I have reported the situation to the Proz.staff, I think that is at the moment best solution. Powpows is probably also a good idea, but I do not have the right kind of time. Thank you again.

Ralf Lemster Germany Local time: 02:57 English to German + ... No personal moderator | Jan 12, 2004 |
Hi again, I think my moderator is somewhere in England. This must be some misunderstanding - there are no personal moderators: mods either cover certain language pairs in KudoZ, individual forums or the Jobs Area (some cover several sections). BTW did you notice that there will be a powwow in Berlin in May? Best regards, Ralf | | | Ralf Lemster Germany Local time: 02:57 English to German + ... Paypal vs. Moneybookers | Jan 12, 2004 |

Best regards, Ralf [Edited at 2004-01-09 14:16] Even as someone pays using his / her credit card, the payment is being done favoring me. Howelse would I possess the tracking info?? i.e, transaction id, dates times and my membership was and would be extended.

Best regards, Ralf A useful piece of information that VIDreferral differs from being a platinum. Then proz would be needing mobileagents to do the VIDreferral - check, whereas the platinum membership comes with embedded VIDed. I guess the winter is getting on me.
