@feditips What's stopping some enterprising individual from making a little script that takes query args and outputs the proper verification <a/> tag based on that? It would probably be like 1-2 lines of PHP.

print "<a rel=\"me\" href=\"{$_GET['v']}\">VERIFIED</a>"

Set the field to something like https://lulverified.com/?v=user@domain and suddenly it turns green.
