FabSwingers.com forum: Image verification suggestion.

By (user no longer on site) OP

Two large points here.

One thing that ruins this and other sites is fake profiles and images, some sites are worse than others. This one not so much but I still find plenty of fake images daily from just general browsing some of these even in the “Most Fab'd” part of the site which we all know is “verified” users.

Yes images do sneak through the system but every single image I have found can easily be searched with either:

“Google reverse image search” http://www.google.com/insidesearch/features/images/searchbyimage.html

“Tineye” here http://www.tineye.com/

Both of these websites take seconds to use, copy the url where the image is and go which is why I would like to see one or both of these free options used by the verification team looking at the images.

I would rather see the system take longer for the moderators to actually verify the images to the best of their ability instead of just guess work with their current system and putting unsuspecting and slightly guidable people in danger by believing what they see on the website because they are verified images.

One common theme I have noticed with profiles that have fake images on is that they also have been verified by a user but have chosen to hide their verification(s).

What would be good to see is that the first verification on a person profile cannot be hidden and forced to be on public display with all others using the current system.

Given this option users could then at least look at one person who has verified them and see how they fair up.

We already provide mods access to reverse image search.

With tens of thousands of images being added to the site each day, some will slip through. If you spot them report them
