FabSwingers.com forum: Restrict Photos to Premium members

By (user no longer on site) OP

Would it be possible to add an extra option in "Manage Photos" to restrict some of my photos to viewing by paid-up Silver & Gold members only please?

I'd like the option to have just a few token photos open to all the world (including those who join free "just to look") - then some more personal ones restricted to paid-up members (who I feel are more serious) - and finally some private ones for Friends only...

At the moment, I just feel a little too exposed with some photos and would be a lot happier with this simple mid-way option.

Thanks!

I have a tendency to criticise some suggestions made re site members but this in my mind warrants a look at.

If it came off would not stop fake profoles but if it gave no pic access they will either pay a fiver or just move on.

Admin over to you.

We have no problem displaying our photo's, but can see the benefit involved if this was implemented and available to use.

There are a hell of a lot of "will fill in later" blank profiles (which are usually just teenagers)who join weekly with another screen name. We get mail from them and "user no longer on site" when they get rejection, only to pop up the next day with another profile.

Yes there are genuine people who are non site supporters, but you generally find that those who are willing to pay are more serious about why they joined in the first place.

I agree with this. We don't want to hide our face pics but it's getting to a point we feel we may have to but if this was implemented it would be fine

when the new chat rooms were started you had to be verified to get in and it did stop a lot of the numpties and it was a nice place to chat with very little moding needed

None silver or gold members should be restricted to one or two chat rooms only. To get full access you should have to pay.

"None silver or gold members should be restricted to one or two chat rooms only. To get full access you should have to pay."

I can see the logic in that but some couples have single profiles or a second profile so that both of them can chat in the same room at the same time, such as you do yourself. It makes it expensive to keep up membership for both profiles if one of them is going to be used just for the chatrooms.

yes recently we've had 2 cases where local free members have obviously been fishing to find out who/where we are. Probably the simple fact they've got to pay out a tenner would make them bugger off and go and bother somewhere else.

Agree that sometimes the "ideas for improvements" are either daft or impractical...... This one definitely makes more sense!

We can do this now, limit the pics you want seen to everyone and then choose who sees the rest.

Am liking the verified to enter chatrooms idea.

Not so much the paid one to enter - we have a couples account and a duplicate couples account (with profile text - for chat only - for meets please message (main profile name)) and the duplicate one doesn't have paid membership - we only made the profile after the rule that you could only have one entry per profile in the chatrooms was enforced - we used to both login under one profile (which would be ideal if this could happen again and perhaps be restricted to just couples accounts) and then type in different colours. Having a second couple account isn't as much fun
