Not necessarily.

People are stating on the forums how they can verify using information from a dead or ficticious person (someone verified as Elvis Presley and someone else as Danger Mouse). This is another aspect of the Beta. Basically until people can verify using ONLY information from a living and genuine source (yes the system would be susceptable to identity theft) then it will remain in beta and be a secondary system to the system that is currently in place. Hence the Avatar's account was suspended.
