Fakes and picture collectors

Jump to newest

I think this sites has become overwhelmed by fakes and picture

Collectors. Fair enough we have no control over someone saving a picture however the sites have the ability to out in measures to stop this. Disable right click etc.. A simple yet reliable fix.. I know some will know how to bypass this but don't give that info out in your reply lol!

But back to the main point.. FAKES!

There has to be some way members can be vetted properly to out fakes.. Perhaps not being able to post unless photo verified?

I was talking to some last night that seemed very keen to find info out and then all of a sudden was no longer registered. Clearly a fake..

But I'm also sick of seeing profiles that have been on a for 6 months or more.. But have yet to be verified in anyway whatsoever!

Please let me know if anyone has the same feelings or similar...

Alternatively....the Op could always ignore profiles that haven't been photo verified?.....job done.

I have a suggestion which wont be popular but here goes. The beauty of fabs is its free but you can become a site supporter - fabs should make everyone pay a nominal charge - maybe a tenner a year for example - this will put off the freeloaders and timewasters. To the rest of us who support 4 or 5 times a year it wont be a problem. We'll always get these tossers but this should restrict their numbers - just a thought.

I knew there would be a nippy comment but clearly you didn't fully read or understand my thread.

I said "verified in anyway whatsoever"

, you are and yours seem legit so no doubt you are. however i know that you may be thinking well a fake could have a real profile and verifi their fake profile making it seem legit to get round it.. But I studied computer science and understand the web and a write code for software and sites. so with that in mind i can certify that there is algorithms that can be out in to out this happening such as IP address duplication the list is endless!

I just feel that the site is being diluted too much by the fakes.. Tell me you haven't experienced this yourself?

I pay a silver fee every month nearly so this wouldn't be an issue, but I have also wondered about this. Is it possible to pay for fee using the same card or phone for more than one profile!? Now I know people (couples) share or have joint accounts sometimes (albeit slightly less common these days) but there could be further security to check this is legit...?

Absolutely great idea but as I say, the determined faker will always find a way but these measures would put plenty of them off and leave the site for us genuine people.

I use my phone to pay silver membership for both my single and couples profile. As far as fakes go they are easy to spot and the tools are there for you to use to help them out. Only accepting messages/contacting verified people can help, going into the chatrooms can also help you see if a couple is a couple but there are no perfect ways around this. Ok you can have more ways to help the site but that would make more expense for those that are genuine and can't afford it. Its up to us to help make the site the best it can be. If you believe a profile is fake don't whine about it here use the tools given to you and report it. It can be frustrating for people who don't get meets and one persons time waster and fake can be another's greatest experience.

How do you know they were a fake ? Maybe someone thought it was a good idea at the time but reality kicked in? Or they were caught or almost caught by their partner?

The terms "fakes and timewasters" are banded about alot on here ( yes there is certainly both as we've found out ) but as already said one persons timewaster is another's best experience, were not photo verified but that doesn't make us either, unfortunately as on any site ( even the pay sites) there are both, however the best thing you can do is trust your own instincts

'There has to be some way members can be vetted properly to out fakes.. Perhaps not being able to post unless photo verified?'

As I said....I'm not photo verified

Whatever shall we do with me?

This might be a good time to mention the mail filters...it s out non verified if thats what you want

For any profile that you think is fake for whatever reason just REPORT the profile fiving your reasons why you think they are fake and Admin can check it out.

1st..being photo verified doesnt mean a person is genuine or will meet.

2nd..being verified by cam dont mean a person is gen and will meet.

and 3rd..even with verifacations people do still talk rubbish and say meet etc yet dont some peeps!

Basicaly like any site...u get majority that ruin it for the minority and peeps are after all kinds of meets too..from quickies..to quality all nighters etc.

Also seems a high percentage of peeps are online for just cyber anyways and just talk etc while horny at time about meeting...when comes to it dont happen.

Thats why many on here that are Genuine are fed up..The site is Great..Just certain users arnt

Another not photo-verified here and have no intention of doing so.

Anyone that thinks compulsory photo verification s out "fakes and timewasters" is as misguided as those that think making fab a pay site would.

It never fails to amaze me how "fakes and timewasters" are such a problem to some but not an issue to many. Some people need to look at what they are doing.

Think you might have put it better than me, maybe I was a little harsh thank you.

We are both photo verified and meet verified but some still call up time wasters because we don't play
