New profiles have the summary shown by default, however like all verifications they are optional to show - not everyone wants to show them.

Verifications and the verification summary is just a "tool" to help you.

I for one see no need to show anyone who I have met and when , I pass by profiles that I'm not interested in and am sure others do the same with mine because I don't show anything. It works well that way and I wouldn't want to be forced into anything.

If veris are important to you set filters so only they can message you and pass by any that don't show them on profile as there will be plenty of others who do.

Agree that the summary, not actualy veri content should be a feature rather than a choice.

trying not to look for an argument but why should i explain myself to you when its quite clear you dont use veris in anyway (which is upto you nothing wrong with that) but i do and think that a veri summary on everyones profile would be a good idea.

I don't want to argue either but I have explained why I don't want them to be made compulsory. All I'm asking is why you feel the need to make them compulsory ?

But why? The total number of verifications won't truly reflect the number of "meets" because it doesn't break it down to fun meets and social. Having a large number showing may put someone off when in fact a lot are as a direct result of socials. I know this for a fact, because I had a social meet today and that was one of the things he commented on, the fact he was put off when he saw someone with a big number on the summary. He hadn't considered socials at all.

Exactly I have choosen to show my verifications summary but have actually had to add a bit to my preofile in relation to it .

why ? because I have many verifications showing on there is this the amount of people I have met and shagged on here No it certainly isn't most of my verifications have come from being a party and social organiser on this site so at the end of the day its not a true relecting of meets only that the person is genuine .

We don't consider folk who have hidden their verifications as we use them to form a mental picture of the who/what etc etc.

Fake profile are quite easy to produce but a veri's trail is not so easy to manufacture.

We respect the right of one and all here to use the site as they see fit but agree that any method of improving access to genuine people can only be a good thing

dont really see it as forcing people to do something, it would be another feature to a profile like for eg, you dont get a choice about showing how long you have been on the site, you dont get a choice about showing approximatly where your from, your age, your sex, what your looking for to name a few.

The reason i think it would be a good addition to have a summary of veris as a feature of a profile is that it would help when contacting potential meets to cut out the timewasteing element, as in you often get people claiming they have a string of veris but choose not to share them, so you chat, arrange a meet and they dont turn up and end up user no longer on site, with addition of a little summary as a feature you can see from the beginning if they have actually met and then make your choice from there to carry on or not.

Like I have said you have the choice to talk to people who only show the summary, it's not my fault if you then choose not to do that and get mucked about is it. Use the tool how it works best for you and leave others to do the same.

To be honest it doesnt matter how you put it you are still trying to force people to do something that is not needed. If everyone used it the way they wanted to it wouldn't cause any problems. So use the filters to only allow those with veris on through and then if they don't either show veris or summary pass by. I will admit to maybe having a filter to show those who show the summary being a good idea. Other than that I still say its down to every one to use their heads when it comes to veris and summary.

I'm sorry but it only improves the site for those who don't use it properly in the first place. It's up to the individual to look at a profile and either say it shows what they want or if not to pass on to one that does.

but i dont want to filter out people who have veris but havent shown them, i am very aware of the filters and how to use the tools of the site, but i dont want to filter them out as i openly look for genuine people, so because they have chosen not to show veris doesnt mean i should filter them out, the thing is im not even talking about a veri.summary like they appear now, even something like say they havebeen verified by meet and the most recent meet, doesnt even have to include how many veris, just a little bit info to show the profile has met and is active or not would be an improvement.

I never said you should filter out those that don't show veris, what I said was filter out those that are not verified and then from that you can choose to either talk to them if they choose to either show both their veris and summary or just the summary.

And I'm still saying that people have the option to move onto a profile that suits them better without the need to force others into doing something that they feel no need to do. I don't need or want anything on my profile that shows when I last met , that is my business and no one else's.

I am in favour of having the MINIMUM amount of information compulsorily displayed.

As a single female, I guard my privacy very carefully, and I want Fab to continue supporting me in guarding my privacy, for personal security reasons.

There are three 'compulsory' factors which are already disclosed, and (in my view) these are sufficient for peeps to assess whether that profile is actively meeting. The three factors are:-

~ how long on site

~ when last logged in

~ the advanced search facility for 'verified by meet' (not just cam)

I cannot support any suggestion which requires me to share (or lie about!) any further personal details.

yes but like i said i dont want or need people to no when i last logged in or how long ive been on here, so if these things arent a choice and have to be shown, why do we have a choice about verifications and/or a summary, surely it should be everything is a choice or all important things are a feature, how and where is there a line.

I don't have any issue with the mandatory information on show, but I like that everything else is a personal choice wether to show or not. I do choose to show my verification summary but choose not to show the verifications as I prefer to keep who I have actually met private.

As for how long someone has been on the site and when they last logged in, I think this is fine to show as if someone joined the site a year ago and hasn't logged in for the past 9 months, I'm guessing they aren't an active member of the site and would probably pass the profile by. My summary says my last verification was 3 months ago, does that mean I haven't met anyone since then...no...it simply means the person I've met hasn't verified me (as I'm seeing someone on a regular basis), I'm still very active on the site and genuine....but does my verification summary show that?

This site has all the tools available to help you, but before asking for features on the site to change or be made mandatory, consider how you are using the tools available.

I have considered the tools so please dont tell me what to do.

Your view is what you have explained and i have no problem with that, it is your view, but what im saying is in the same way that last log in and amount of time on site helps you to see if the user is active, the summary as a feature would be another angle to that, and like stated theres already information on profiles that has to be there, surely then all of that should be a choice aswell.

yes, another good idea, and in the often heard "battle against timewasters" this been made into a little summary and made as a feature would help a little way in that battle, is anyone from the site set up listening.

We think it would be a good feature to show a flag for each form of verificatin. by meeting in person. Photo verified and verified on cam. This need not show numbers of meets at all but does help to confirm a genuine prifile. And would be helpfull. Then as always people can choose to or not to show verfications.
