18+ Verified Badge no longer visible on web profiles
available in future release
LupisYoung
I don't know if the change was intentional or not, but with the rollout of the revamped web profiles, the 18+ Verified badge was silently removed from them, and we need it back.
Many groups who offer age-gated instances, including my own, offer VRC+ verification alongside regular manual ID verification for people who have already verified themselves through VRC+. We want to offer age-gated instances without forcing users to pay up for a subscription, so doing age checks and granting a role to access specific instances was a fair middle ground.
Groups like mine rely on the Verified badge being able to be seen on the website, otherwise we won't be able to offer VRC+ as an alternative verification method and have to manually ID verify every person who wants to attend the age-gated instances. If they're already visible in-game, why not on the website too?

Age verification status missing from profiles on VRC website for other users

We've spotted the VRC 18+ verification badge is missing from user profiles through the website - specifically those that are not the logged-in user. This applies even if the user has opted to show their verification status on their profile. Note the badge remains visible on the mobile application, through API calls, and inside VRChat itself.
This seemed to come about following the recent profile page redesign around the 13th April.

Duplicate, can be merged with: https://feedback.vrchat.com/website/p/18-verified-badge-no-longer-visible-on-web-profiles
A fix is already underway.

This needs to be corrected.
Group moderation/admin needs to have easy access to seeing this 18+ verified status.
If VRC Mods are going to be throwing rods from god to destroy people's groups callously when users dare not use the PAID VERIFICATION SERVICE effectively... maybe make sure we can interact with the feature if you're going to force us to buy into.
Seems important that it be working at full strength since there's financial attachment to it.

Glad to see this. Users in my Discord server regularly open tickets asking for an 18+ role and provide links to their VRC profiles. Now that I can't see the verified 18+ title / badge on the website I can't easily verify via this method.
I was able to read up on the VRC API docs and I can still get the data for age verification ("ageVerificationStatus"). The data for the age verified badge is still there in the back end response but it seams that it's just not on the website. I might continue with this method.
Quick edit: My friend told me about VRCX and it shows the badge. Copy user's ID and click "Direct Access" in VRCX. It automatically shows the users profile with the age verified badge! This works nicely for the time being.

neochroma․xyz I’m aware of VRCX still showing it, but most of the time when I’m going through verification tickets I’m in bed on my macbook. Having to open VRCX and look up someone, then go back on the website to assign the role is an unnecessary hassle

Your own Verified 18+ badge is visible in your profile. I can't see the Verified 18+ badge of my friends or people in general on the website anymore - but it's visible in-app (on Steam). I agree this seems like a regression - I want to see the Verified 18+ badge of other users on the Home website.
