Q: How do I change my email address?
A: To change email address, please send the following to support@skipthegames.com in a single email message:

  1. Your photo in which you are holding your government ID. Hold the ID so it touches your chin or your cheek. This way both your face and the ID will be in focus. The photo must be clear and sharp. Make sure that your face, the ID, and the arm+hand holding the ID are fully visible.
  2. One more photo in which you are holding a piece of paper. On this paper, have both your old and new emails addresses handwritten, as well as today's date. Make sure that your face, the paper, and the arm+hand holding the paper are fully visible. In your hand, hold the pen or marker with which you wrote on the paper.

Send this from your NEW email address with the subject "Email change request".

If the photos are clear and sharp, the process should be quick. But due to fraudulent attempts to change people's email addresses, we may ask you for more information.

Q: How long does a post stay online?
a.k.a. When does a post expire?
A: This depends on the area where the post was published. For example, in New York City the post will expire within a month, because new posts arrive often. In small cities a post may stay up for more than 3 months. In other words, the more posts in a city, the faster will they expire in this city.

Q: How long before I start receiving calls, texts, and emails?
A: This will depend on a few factors. The city: in New York, your post will soon be buried, unless you repost regularly. Without enough eye traffic, you won't have enough prospects. The content: If you have not taken care to prepare excellent photographs and write an enticing copy, why would anyone be attracted to your post among thousands of almost identical ones? Make sure to do your homework. The market: If you are one of hundreds of thousands posters who offer the same generic abbreviations and utter nonsense like "bubbly personality, one of a kind, bla-bla-blah", you are going to lose. We want to reward authors of the higher quality posts at some point. Check this list:

Q: How do I verify my identity?
A: As the site is growing in popularity, its popularity with spammers and scammers is growing, too. The good thing is that unlike honest posters they don't like to be photographed, which we can use to our advantage. To verify your identity please follow the instructions below:

  • You need to hold a piece of paper with your current email address and today's date handwritten on it.
  • Your fingers need to be seen holding the paper.
  • Your fingers, hands, arms, shoulders, and your head need to be visible.
  • In addition to the piece of paper with your email address and the date, hold the pen or the marker with which you wrote on the paper.
  • Take this photo in good light, don't crop or process in any way — just send it as is to support at skipthegames dot com with the subject "Verification photo".

We don't need nudity. We need to see your face, hands, and your email. This photo is used for internal verification only and is neither shared nor published.
