A negative part of my experience on this site is getting a bunch of so called "women" or "couples" DM'ing me, but really they are just gay men trying to get dick pics or trick me into meeting them. Like wtf u think is gonna happen at that point?
It's not 100% fool proof for sure, but since I cut out entertaining unverified accounts I get more decent (and realistic) proposals and conversations. Between being a verified account, looking at their consistency of photos/videos, and what they post in different forums, I've had a much more pleasurable experience on here. So the verification is just one step one should take. Doing a little more research on people you are interested in is definitely mandatory if you don't want to waste your time.
