Face pics on couples profiles that aren't photo verified

We have seen quite a few couples profiles on here lately that have been on a while but are still not even photo verified. No big deal as we usually just avoid them, as our thoughts are that if you are happy to have naked photos on your profile then it should not be a big deal getting photo verified. What is concerning though is the couples profiles that are not verified in any way but have face pictures in their public gallery. Not saying its always the case but we tend to think if you are a genuine couple you would be at least photo verified within a few weeks (especially if you have naked photos and face pics in public gallery). Could there not be a rule whereas you can't upload face pics till you are photo verified, could be a small step to help combat the fakes and stop unwilling women having there photos on a swinging siteWe have seen quite a few couples profiles on here lately that have been on a while but are still not even photo verified.

Not sure how it would help? The whole pic-verified bit seems a waste of time to me, tbh.

I agree with you, time wasters are an issue. I think there should be something along the lines of a trust symbol based on a points system similar to the way Karma works on Reddit or reps and negs on The Misc. Only you'd have a stipulation that only people with say 3 seperate verification's could vote.

So if you were that person who chatted for a month then disappeared a day before the supposed meet, you'd get a downvoted. It'd be self policing.

Timewasters/fakes are relatively easy to spot. Noting is foolproof.

It comes with the Fab territory. Try to police it and they'll come up with other ways to get round it.

Im not photo verified and never will be. Photo verification can be faked very easily

We're not photo verified, never felt the need as we were verified by meetings. A photo verification doesn't prove anything except if it's a man in the profile it's a man in the pics. It doesn't necessarily mean it's the same man.

If I was a single guy I could easily steal a great body pic from anywhere then get verified with my face pic and a piece of paper then only show the great body pic and be photo verified.

So to us photo verifications prove very little. Mr

Agree with a lot of your points but our issue was specifically wif couples who don't have any kind of verification but have face pics public, surely if u r happy to have ur face public as a couple on a swingers site then u wouldn't have a problem getting photo verified??? We r the opposite nd r photo nd meet verified but only show our face privately. Not saying everyone is a fake, just trying to help get rid of th ones that are

Showing face on public doesnt mean someone is fake

You will never get rid of fakes. I don't see any point in having a you must be photo verified rule. If you think someone is fake...then just block and move on.

I'm not getting the connection with having naked and face pictures in public and having/should be photo verified

"I'm not getting the connection with having naked and face pictures in public and having/should be photo verified "

I think they are suggesting that people who aren't photo-verified via a face-pic, shouldn't be allowed to upload face-pics, as admins can't cross verify the faces. In other words, they may 'steal' and upload someone else's face, to pass off as their own.

There are 3 things wrong with this:-

1) photo-verification doesn't have to be face, it can be full body nude pic. And this is good, because very many people (like me) won't put their face-pics on a swingers site.

2) the same operates in reverse - if someone doesn't verify via a naked full-length body pic, they may steal someone else's body pics and pass them off as their own.

) there are 10,000+ pictures uploaded daily, and the picture mods (who are volunteers) don't have the time to cross reference new pictures with existing pictures, to ensure that they are of the same person. Yes, the mods use reverse image searches, to try to identify stolen pictures, but there is a limit to how much time we can expect them to put into checking pictures.

The solution is... if you see a profile whose pictures you are doubtful about, report, block, and don't engage with them. Use your common sense, ask for them to show themselves on cam, arrange a social meet first, to make sure they look like you expect.

People really should worry less about thinking up convoluted schemes to out the so-called 'fakes and timewasters', and worry more about engaging with the people who they DO want to meet. The site owners have been doing this for many years, and they are the best people to decide how they want to run their site. My system of common sense works fine, and in four years on this and other sites, I have never had a single fake or timewaster.

Agree why cant people just use gut instinct and common sense instead forcing there idea of what they think will work on others

We said in the original post that we don't engage with these profiles as we also use our common sense. Maybe we weren't clear enough in our explanation. We, like most others can spot a fake and single men pretending to be couples, we were just saying that maybe couples should be verified as a couple before they could put on public face pics. It's easy to take a face pic off the internet and upload here but not so easy to put a photo of a couple holding a sign with their username on. We get that they still maybe not the couple they show on their profile but at least they wouldn't be a single man uploading couples face pics who have no idea they are on here. We are not FACE verified other than by our meets, so in a sense no one is guaranteed we are the people in our photos and we get that. We are however verified as a couple (standing with username) so at least the site owners could be a little more sure we are the photos we use.

We know the site creators do a great job but it is a feedback section so people can give their thoughts and ideas, we were just giving our thoughts on a way to maybe help stop single (pic collector) men making couples profiles and using unsuspecting peoples photo's.

Maybe it's just us lol but we won't agree with some other forum posts so hey ho each to their own

We have been on Fab for "ages" never photo verified - so does that mean we are time wasters ? Or just ghost of Fab... We prefer 1:1 meets and verifications as those say more then a picture created by Photoshop

Op are you affected by fakes or timewasters, if not, I can't really understand your post and concerns. We're not photo verified either, but have plenty of veris to say we are real people. Apologies, but I'm not getting it!

and you really think that by photo verification it will .. fakes are also verified so your point will alway remain pointless .

ive been here since the site opened and thats a long time ..

just because new folk bought the site and put up photo verification dont mean i need to use it to prove im not fake

thats what my verifications are for

you will never get rid of fakes on the site its part of any site

take the good with the bad and learn to read between the lines

its not that hard
