Age Verification process ??

[Darklen]

As I tell people I Verifiy:

- All entries are entered into the same thread in part of the staff area. When one of the higher level admins has time, they get updated. It can (and does) take days to weeks. Every entery is done individually as your profile info has to match your info you gave the AVer. Going to a different AVer does nothing.

- Make sure you actually have an account on ASC. You'd be suprised how many times I got to enter someones info only to find out that user name does not exist.

- Make sure you give the AVer the correct user name. AVer's should be running a search for your user name to make sure of the spelling, but many don't.

- Make sure your info in your profile matches the info you give the AVer. If there's a descrepency, you AV get's hung up.

And off the record a bit, don't be an asshat. The last thing an AVer wants to deal with is some f*cktard who thinks he/she has the "right" to play airsoft and to have access into the AV sections of ASC. That's no way to gain entry into the community. Take the time to chat with the AVer. They are all volunteers and take a lot of thier own time out to do this service. Treat them accordingly.

ah ok.
This is true, both posters who are asking questions stated that they have already seen verifiers so thats where my confusion came from when reading your post.

I'm surpised a lot of people aren't aware of the AV process since a lot of it is documented in the forums alread. I went through Brian at TTAC3 and we had a short chat about things, told me it might take a while and was pretty informative about the questions I had. (Thanks again Brian ^___^)


So to add to what was said above by Darklen:

No problem waiting.. I can still join up on games... I just won't have access to high end guns for a bit. If they really want to play that bad they can easily get some lower end models for the time being while they wait. Who cares if you don't have a Tokyo Marui.. least you can still play AND get to see the higher end guns in action from other players before you even buy it. Even while waiting out the AV process I was still able to pick up decent guns through online and local retailers.

No point bitching about it.. they have listed in nearly every thread about the AV process that they are volunteers... they all have lives, jobs, kids, or whatever it may be to deal with just like everyone else does. Not only that, but for whatever reason you think justify's that you be an asshole to the people helping you become age verified is like giving a cop the finger.. you could get in trouble or they can be nice about it and just shrug it off and keeping you on that AV pending list.

And you want it why? Being in the USA guns & parts are way cheaper and you can even order direct from HK. There's the odd, old, hard to get classic in the classifieds, but you have market 10 times our size (at least) to choose from. You have easy access to stuff we can only dream about.

The US market for used may be large, but its spread across so many websites that i could see it being hard to find the rare guns.
Ours is mostly centered to ASC.
