I agree that current verification is beyond most users, but I don't think it matters much for regular posters or lurkers.
What is your proposed solution?
Paid verification has issues both from money and personal information security management angle.
The same is true for "celebrity" verification, as it require storing personal information.
The easier way to verify identity is to cross-check if they link back to existing accounts.
