Verification System
Before beginning your IAmA, please gather any proof necessary to confirm your identity and your claims. Put that proof in the text of your IAmA, for all users to see. If you do not post proof, users will be skeptical about your IAMA, and you might be asked for verification. If you do not provide any proof within a reasonable amount of time, moderators can remove your post. In very rare circumstances, if your proof is absolutely confidential, you can message proof to the moderators and we will simply leave a comment confirming that proof has been given.
Verification will only be completed for posts the moderators feel need it or would benefit from it. It is not required for all posts.
Post what you are, have people ask you about yourself. Obvious nonsense will be deleted; this is defined by the moderators and up to the discretion of the moderators, and it will be enforced.
Asking for money for yourself will get you banned.
IAmA=I Am A
AMA=Ask Me Anything
You don't have to always be polite, but mindless insults are subject to moderation.

If your post is likely to simply garner sympathy and not questions, please post in /r/MakeMeFeelBetter
If your post is based solely on where you live, please direct it to /r/ILiveIn
If you have a lead on someone you'd like to do an IAmA, contact hueypriest, who can coordinate and promote the interview. If you would like to do an IAmA Request, only post serious requests; if you cannot think of 5 good questions to ask the person, then it is not a serious request. Second, reasonable requests only. Most celebrities dont read Reddit and would never see your request, so unless you have a specific reason to think that they would be willing to do an IAmA, a request is unnecessary. Finally: search for the request first. Odds are, it has already been requested.
