Discussion

- I emailed them several days ago about this and they got back saying they'd make an 'Insights' page which they've done: verifiedhandles.com/vhid/Insights Apurarazul (talk) 06:27, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

Oppose absolutely not - the creator of this and spammer is, well, a cross wiki spammer that operated a botnet to include verifiedhandles everywhere in an attempt to further push his agenda (spam and his musical career.) Praxidicae (talk) 18:43, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
