Why would you need 10 verifications anyway?

Over the last week or so, I have seen several members seek verification through the discussion forum. Rather then having the forum flooded by these numerous requests, why not take it upon yourself to click on YOUR blue check mark and read WHO is eligible to verify members. Perhaps you may know some of those members and you can reach out to those you know. Here's something to think about, you're asking another member to do you a "favor". Don't you think you need to do something a little more personal other than posting a "Need Verification Please" request? Maybe it's just me, I think you should.
