Fake Introduce yourself posts are going out of hand .

<p>As steem is expanding and news of it paying its members millions of dollars is spreading a new type of nuisance is creeping in</p>
<p>A sure shot way to earn rewards is to post in introduceyourself category but lately people are exploiting it by taking pics from net and just photo-shopping verification For eg </p>
<p>Look at <a href="https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@gracealyssa/introduce-yourself-in-this-thread#@whatissteem/re-gracealyssa-introduce-yourself-in-this-thread-20160727t190622903z">this</a> post  ( thanks @ <a href="https://steemit.com/@nimblebodhi">nimblebodhi</a>  for catching it)</p>
<p>There are many more examples of these type of posts. I think we need a stronger mechanism to stop this exploit.</p>
<p>I propose a selfie with your laptop/ PC screen with your username displayed on it.</p>
<p>Keep on Steeming Guys!</p>

How about a certain Steem posture the have to have on the photos or a rare combination of objects. Say a toothbrush in one hand and a spoon in the other. Any more suggestions, Steemers?

This is a pretty good idea. And while the above instance was a pretty poor photoshop attempt that should have been obvious, there are plenty of people who can do a much better job in which they'll look authentic. The special pose or combo of things would certainly be an improvement over the typical photo time-stamp.

I also think just doing a quick video, like a vid.me or something where you directly address the Steemit community should be sufficient to demonstrate authenticity.
