Official: JanitorAI ditches old verification in favor of Shep’s preference
November 13, 2025. It’s official. JanitorAI ditches old verification system in favor of a new one. Here’s the quote in Reddit:
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out! Verification as something to be applied for is no longer something that Janitor offers. The only way people get verified now is if Shep likes a bot he uses and rewards the user with verification.
If you need assistance with anything else, please feel free to reach out.
Best regards,
Iroh
Janitor Support
There’s yet to be further info, yet it appears the old system as we know it is gone. There is no indication that other forms are being considered. The new criteria is whether a bot creator is “liked” or preferred by Shep.
