Should Farcaster add a "staking" verification system?  Please reply! 

Users can get "verified" badge by staking $10 USDC in a contract. The stake can be reclaimed at any time, but will only release after a delay (maybe 4-8 weeks). 

Verified users will get the following benefits: 

- Badge on profile. 
- Access to video uploads.
- Show up higher in conversations. 
- A small boost in the rewards program. 

The goal is to make it harder for spammers to verify so that good humans on Farcaster have a better experience!

A lot of spammers spent $120 to get a pro badge. 

I think this is a worthwhile experiment.

Me too. May I ask a question Miss Pichi? If someone's score is slow in adding up and sometimes reduces, does it mean that person is spam labeled?

I see. Thank you so much Miss P. I think that's what happened to me.

If you are on the leaderboard, you don’t have a spam label. 
But, someone who engaged with you can: delete their comments, or undo their likes, or they could get marked as spam and then their points no longer count.
