I am also kyc verified, and when I applied to be kyc verified, it was solely for bounty purposes, like some users have mentioned here, there was a time when bounty campaigns were very much active on this forum and most of them preferred accepting members with the kyc verified badge into the campaign as they believed that such users can be trusted not to cheat.
Aside from the above, I have not seen any other benefit for being the kyc verified forum user, except there are some benefits to it our admin will introduce in the future, that we are waiting to see.
