Yes I recently got verified on CS. On Warmshowers, we have had all positive feedback too, so kinda weird that no one responds. Maybe it is because we are just looking for a place to stay the night. Like someone else pointed out, CS is more about meeting people, and it is not that we don't want to meet people, we absolutely do, but I don't try to hide the point that we are looking for a place to stay just for one night. We have never had such bad luck contacting people. On our cross country tour last year people were very prompt at getting back to us.
