Certified user group?

Maybe a silly thought, but does this actually exist anywhere? Becoming a little more active once again on this site and think it's a great idea. No hate against non-certs, just feel it filters out the spam a little more and would help connect. 

This picture is advertised on the certified user page. Pat, any insight?

Based on the most helpful WSO content, certified user groups do exist on Wall Street Oasis. There have been discussions about certified user-only threads, which allow only certified users to respond. While this feature is still in its early stages, with only a few such discussions so far, they have been described as high-quality and valuable. The goal is to maintain a high standard of content and reduce spam, aligning with your thoughts on filtering and connecting more effectively.
