FabSwingers.com forum: To out fakes

By (user no longer on site) OP

Would it be a good idea on fab to have a cut off point whereby if your not verified by photo or meet within a set period you account is frozen and unable to be used until you have one.

As I see no reason not to be at least photo verified within a month.

Discuss please

What if you are here to just chat, read stories or just chill?

A lot of new account have to photo veri. I know the couples account I have with a friend we had to.

I'm saying that photo veris are not foolproof and I have seen several fake accounts that are photo veried.

Meet veris are hard to get especially for men on here so that wouldn't be fair to have a time limit on it.

Common sense I find will find fakes out if people use it a bit more on here. And also the whole fake accusation is often thrown at genuine accounts when people say no to them I've found as well on here.

op that would mean 80 to 90% of the site gone ... most on here dont meet but it dont make them fake alot use it as a social media platform for everything other than meeting and to be fair they are pretty easy to spot also the timewasters and messers are easy to spot too so no leave fab as it is and always has been

I think the issue is that there are an awful lot of fakes on fab it's just an idea of making it harder for them

I don't know I've never needed to do it but people can and have done it on here so thinking photo veri means an account is genuine isn't always the case .

Does people on here that are possibly "fake" (this does not mean all females profiles that aren't interested) stop you from doing what you want to do?

When you do a search filter out new profiles, those with no public pictures and unverified. This will return only profiles that fit your criteria as far as those things are concerned and the site will work how you want it to

The best thing you can do is vet people carefully.

How do you get one if your account is frozen?

We have had a fake account message us tonight but when I quizzed, they blocked us before I had a chance to report them.

Is there a way to report if they block you?

They clearly have a few images of a female and using them

You can click the drop down menu button even if they've blocked you, the report button will still be there x

Such a good idea. I had my photos stollen from another site,set up as a couple my face in public, that hopefully would stop that happening

I'm not verified in person yet but I think if you are chatting with someone and ask them to take a photo with a bog roll on their head for example, you can also do something similar what they ask for. Isn't that some sort of proof the person is real? Obviously if they don't then must have something to hide.
