FabSwingers.com forum: Reduce the number of badly behaved people

I've not been on here long, but from what I can see as a major problem is the number of guys who are just rude... sometimes abusive.

All women I've spoken to have stories to tell about jerks who don't take no for an answer and seemingly think that insulting people is acceptible.

What about a modification that counted the number of times a user is blocked in the last 30 days? If it goes over a certain theshold, then they get auto-banned for a week.

Obviously you'd need to set said threshold carefully and maybe have an appeal process.

But I don't see it as being difficult to code and it might stop people being jerks to one another.

Also maybe ask for a reason for each block. That way you could count blocks for being rude, and ignore blocks for "not my type" or similar.

Probably too open to abuse. What if you asked all your fab friends to block me and report it as bad behaviour even if I've never interacted with them?

Fair point. I'm just trying to come up with a way to reduce the number of neanderthals on here

Another fault with this idea is like me a few people use the block option not because someone has done anything wrong but have said they are not interested so I block them just so that I know not to bother them again

To be honest they will just create another profile and start all over again.

It’s easier just to block and forget.

Also it’s not just guys who send abuse. Other genders are guilty as well and couples are equally as bad.

You learn to grow immune to it over time sadly.

Apart from the obvious increase in admin work it would make the block button isn't just used when people are badly behaved.

A good and effective way of limiting messages of any type is to use mail filters and only contact people you're genuinely interested in
