Let me clarify the identification methods to help you avoid pitfalls:

Officially verified members will have a gold badge, which is the only form of identification. If you see someone with a project logo but no gold badge, they are enthusiasts in the community, not official representatives.

A special reminder—official channels will never do these things:
- Send you tokens proactively
- Ask for your private keys or passwords
- Request money from you

If you encounter any suspicious accounts or behaviors, feel free to share screenshots so everyone can take a look. Safety first—don't fall into phishing traps, and I hope everyone has fun!

The gold standard is really the only criterion. Don't be fooled by those pseudo-officials. I almost believed someone without a label before...

You really need to look carefully at the gold standard thing, or you'll be harassed every day by scammers impersonating the official one.

The gold badge is the real one; without it, they're just organic fans. Remember this forever.

The gold standard thing really needs to be watched closely; there are too many fake official ones. By the way, don't rush to criticize those without a gold standard logo; they might just be genuine enthusiasts. As for private key passwords, anyone who dares ask me will be immediately blocked.

The gold standard is too easy to counterfeit. I've seen at least five projects' "official" accounts' fund flows all pointing to the same address. I recommend everyone verify the data directly on the blockchain for more reliability.

Whether it's gold standard or not, I don't even look at it. I just ask for the wallet address, and it's obvious whether it's real or fake. Haha

The gold standard is really the only one. If you see something without a label, just ignore it to avoid getting cut.

Gold standard is the real deal. These days, there are quite a few fake official ones; I've seen several myself.
