What the blue check means and how to ask for one
Learn what each mark beside a name means, what a creator needs before asking for a blue check, and how the request works.
- Applies to
- The site
- Last checked
A blue check beside a name means the GTAPoliceMods team has confirmed that creator is who they say they are. An admin grants it after you ask. It can't be bought.
The marks beside a name
| Mark | Who has it | How they get it |
|---|---|---|
| Blue shield with a check | A verified creator | An admin approves their request |
| Blue seal with a star | An official account, such as GTAPoliceMods itself or a mod team | An admin grants it directly |
| Green plate | The owner or a representative of an active partner | It comes with their place in the partnership, and goes when that ends |
| Lightbar | Staff | It comes with their staff role |
Hover over a mark, or tap it on a phone, to see why the account has it and since when.
Staff are marked by the lightbar, never by a check.
What a blue check changes
- Your files can be up to 10 GB each, where everyone else has 2 GB.
- You can upload 50 files and 100 GB a day, where everyone else has 20 files and 20 GB.
- Your uploads skip new-account review. See Why your first uploads wait for review.
What you need before asking
- At least 3 published mods
- An account at least 30 days old
- No active warning points, and no bans or removed content in the last 90 days
- Two-factor authentication turned on for your Discord account
- Proof of who you are elsewhere: connected accounts first, such as a GitHub account or a YouTube channel, then links for what can't be connected, such as your profiles on other mod sites
Account settings shows whether the site sees two-factor as on for your Discord account. Turn it on in Discord's settings, under My Account. The site reads it when you sign in.
How to ask
- Open Verification in your settings.
- Tick the connections that count toward your request. Hidden ones can be included.
- Add links for anything that can't be connected, and a short message.
- Send it. You can have one request open at a time.
An admin looks at your request, your mods, your account's age and history, and whether two-factor is on, then approves or denies it with a note.
If the answer is no
A denial isn't appealed. You can ask again after 30 days. Use the time to fix what the note says.
Keeping it
The check stays as long as the reasons for it hold. An admin takes another look, and can remove it, if:
- your shown name changes, on Discord or on the site
- you turn off two-factor on Discord
- you remove or lose a connection your request included
The check stays in place until the admin decides.
