   Hats are for making public statements, not commemorating contributions to a project or jobs held.
   Please request one only if you'll be acting offically here, like if you're a core project developer or company employee authorized to post on behalf of your organization.
+  Hats are usually reserved for notable projects and organizations.
   </p>
   <p>
   To request a hat for your account, provide a short description of the hat
   (e.g., "OpenBSD Developer"), a public link that will be shown when hovering
   over the hat that users can see, such as your e-mail address at that project
   or company, or a link to a company website showing your employment, and
   private comments that will be seen only by moderators during approval.

   </p>
   <p>
-  Once your hat is requested, a moderator will verify your request by e-mailing
-  the address you submitted as the link, or doing some other manual
-  verification of project association.
+  It's really helpful if you link your GitHub or Twitter account to your Lobsters account and,
+  in your comment, link to where the organization links to that public account.
+  Then we can instantly see you're legit without having to send a verification email.
+  </p>
+  <p>
   When you can no longer speak for a project or company, please contact a moderator to doff your hat.
-  Old messages will still show it, but you won't be able to use it again.
