FabSwingers.com forum: photo verified-compulsory?

By (user no longer on site) OP

not sure if this may have been suggested before, but due to the (seems to be) ever increasing amount of false profiles, why cant fabs admin only publish new profiles to the site only if they have been photo verified??

seems basic sense really. there is no excuse nowadays for someone not to have a photo, what with built in web cams etc.

will bring an end full stop to those false couple profiles, where its the guy trying to get meets to couples who usually block males.. ie they have one pic of the ex etc but always make those excuses why they cant meet together.. but " i can play on my own" lol.

also same for single guys, who are actually married but just try to add as many friends as poss just to get a look at the private pics.

i could go on... lol

be interested to see what others think? at least it should make it very difficult for false profiles to get on here. have to say that even though us genuine ones appreciate the site being free, this is the one flaw in the system, but can easily be overcome.

do i have support?

We are not photo verified,no intention to be either... Does that mean we are fake?

There are genuine couples on here where the male plays alone,and as for single guys who are married who have long friends lists so they can get off on pics.. People dont have to accept invites.

Also,the photo verifacation people/fakes can still get round that if they really want to.

with the photo verification where everyone (both if couple) has to be showing their face whilst holding up a paper with username on it is a brilliant idea. just feel that it elminates the tryers, ie girlfriend doesnt really want to do it but guy decides to create profile anyway etc. of course i know a lot are genuine and not photo verifiied, just aware that if too many false profiles get through,fabs loses its credibility to an extent.

reason i posted this was a swinger friend knew someone who had set up a false couples profile (he was single guy) just so that he could add friends and then try to meet the couple with the excuse saying "xxxx is not well" or something along those lines. although not successful this way it doesnt help the genuine ones out there and is surely a waste of everyones time. just a suggestion however, and should only need apply to any new profiles not existing ones!!

Only search for profiles that are already verified would be the best answer.

Here occasionally, but mostly somewhere else

It's really easy to photoshop new words on to a pic of someone holding a piece of card on the internet.

I could be a photo-verified single female inside 24 hours if I really wanted to.

To the OP, if you don't want to talk to non-PV people a) don't contact them and b) set your filters to only accept mail from those verified

That way the site works for you how you want

There are fakes,timewasters,and pic collecters on all swing sites,not just on here because it's free.

We are not photo verified and have not intention of doing so. We have a list of personal verifications which we feel is far better than any photo.

OP you're being naïve if you think photo verification will eradicate fakes and timewasters!

You don't need to be Sherlock Holmes to spot the dodgy profiles! In three years of this lifestyle I've yet to encounter a fake. Several of my playmates don't have verifications, no photos and scant profiles: just goes to show!

I don't get this obsession with thinking everyone who doesn't reply is a picture collector. If someone wanted pictures there's plenty of easy ways to get as explicit as you want on the internet, so why would you go to the bother of setting up a profile, trying to talk to someone, get the picture then do nothing else?

I think it's more likely people don't get in touch if they're either scared to carry it through or they just don't like what they see....

i agree the amount of fake profiles is outrageous! somthing must be done about it!!

i belive photo verification for everyone would make fakes alot fewer, images as simple are proving the fabber's gender or genders of the couple would solve this hugly time consuming mess,

fake profiles can be spoted, but i can be very easy to imply that you are a woman or couple, for example i was once contacted a couple, the woman replied and was very interersted in chatting, we swaped pics but as i am paranoid about these fakes i almost always put the images i receve, or images from a faber's public gallerys and put them through tineye.com* and search if they are on the internet numours times, i was able to find the images have been given have been on numours porn websites,

(* tineeye.com recognises the image and searches for the same image on the internet even in differnt sizes and inculds photoshoped images, with this website i have been able to search recived images an find the origin of it, this inclued photoshoped images too.)

"It's really easy to photoshop new words on to a pic of someone holding a piece of card on the internet. "

that is true, i could photoshop a verification photo easly too, but this would take time and effort, as the would have to find and appropreat image wich the can fake, (being an image of a couple holding a card or a girl holding a card) once they found an image, they will have to handwrite what they intend to photoshop onto the found image, in order to make it look belivable wich can take a large amount of time. the idea of going through this process would greatly stop the fake profilers from bothering.

with compulsery photo verificed profiles the temtation of creating a fake profile will almost be compleatly removed, the time it takes to have take a real photo for image verified is infanatly smaller than the time that fake profiles will waste of YOUR time.
