Delete unverified profiles after 1 month

Lots of profiles of people who've never met even after a year or more. If not verified Then should be deleted as not really contributing to the ethos of swinging and it's in all our interest to uphold a certain swinging standard at a minimum of being genuine.

The "ethos" of swinging has nothing to do with being verified or not verified on an internet site. If you don't like unverified profiles, don't look at them, speak to them and block them. easy!

You don't need to meet or get verified to use Fab, you can use it how ever you wish (within the rules) and that is what I like about it.

Some people only use the forums or chat rooms, great.

Others like putting up pics for others to view, why not.

But to delete their profile because of it? Seems a bit extreme when you can ignore that aren't veried or search for those that are.

I totally agree with the first post, I think that profiles that haven't had some enough form of verification within a reasonable time frame should be suspended & removed from searches.

For those that want to just chat & not meet there is the photo verification route, it takes 5 minutes to do your photo tops & 95% of people will have camera equipped phones, not to mention the other options like webcams, tablets, digital cameras so there isn't much excuse not to do one.

Is not about ruining it for anyone to me it's just giving the site extra credibility in that it is the go to site for genuine people.

Gets a thumbs up from me.

how about not having a verification after 2 years?- would that be fair? after all...you might not be as described from the past...

can you see the illogical nature of booting people off the site because they arent meeting?- if they claim to be looking for meets and arrange to meet someone and dont show, that is what the reporting feature is for.

Veris, in my opinion, are not a means of identifying genuine people or not, for many reasons. However, I think that it would be useful if the people who only joined to 'have a look' and never logged in again since should be deleted and there should be a time-limit set that after being inactive for say, 6 months, the profile also deleted.

I see where you're coming from my our old profile we lost the password and email and couldn't log in. When we came back with new profile it was over a month before we got veri'd again so under your ruling we'd be booted.

Also been 2yrs since our last veri as we haven't been meeting (trying for a family) but been on here chatting etc.

Just block and move on because it's another way to punish the decent ones with the indecents actions.

The ethos of swinging is swinging not obtaining verifications.

Fab is used in many ways not necessarily requiring the obtaining of verifications.

the 'ethos of swinging' and what is that exactly ??? seems many on here have differing views as to what swinging is.....many wouldn't class a single man as a swinger, nor a single lady..... couples that always meet seperately and never together - isnt that an open rel more than swinging ?? just ignor those you dont like the look of, and interact with those you do !! simples

It's not about a verification from result of a meet...it's about a verification they are genuine and photo verified ... if not photo verified within a month delete their profile and the verified photo should as is asked for couples have name and picture of person. This will help stop or at least prevent fake profile from men pretending to be women and couples.

Some people are not on here to arrange meets or care about verifications.

The site is a good way for us to keep in contact with people we have met in the big wide world who share a similar interest.

Which I guess would make us unwelcome

As a single guy, I have had more meets than those shown as verifications. Many women just don't verify even after a play meet.

I would have found myself with several meets under my belt, still unverified after 1 month and under your proposal would have been deleted.

Many couples meet by approaching guys direct and don't seek or give verifications. They too would face extinction under this proposal.

photo verification is a piece of piss to fake...doesn't prove anything and is so ultimately pointless, we don't know anyone who even looks to see if anyone is photo verified...

How do they affect your experience? you can filter unverified out of searches and messaging...if they've faked a pic veri, they can get round your filter...

The ethos of swinging is each to their own in a tolerant, respectful and inclusive manner.

What total tosh, just because someone is verified it doesn't guarantee that they are genuine.

People should be allowed as long or as little time to arrange a meeting as they want, it's not up to you to dictate how they should live their life and tell them they must have a meet within 31 days or under.

You don't want to meet unverified people, block them on the search filters.

I don't want people who have pics on here thst are black and white, have their faces covered with pink hearts or blue areas so i can't see what they look like. Nor do u want to see pics of women with a riding crop against their backside. I know. If they still have them on their page after 30 days, because let's not forget, not every month has 30 days in it, then i want admin to remove their profile as it's a swinging site, not a picture site.

Just because somebody is not verified dose not mean the have not met, seeing the person they have met has to be verified before they can verify somebody. So if you meet with unverified people you would never get verified. Also not evrrybody verifies who they meet and some ask not to be.

I actually tend to agree with you .

No it wouldn't, it would just encourage more people to get fake verifications. Set up a profile, get a cam veri, set up multiple other profiles which you can then verify yourself. I've seen it on here before, and have been offered verifications from men I've never met many times.

Use the filters provided. Being verified and photo verified does mean that they will not be a timewaster to you.

is this the point of swinging, everyone has different tastes and takes on it, the same as this site!

what one is okay with, another gets turned off, swinging like the world in general is not perfect.

Some like to have lots of verification up, others like to be more quiet.

I have been here for a short time and straight away have myself photo verified as I have nothing to hide.

It is all down to individuals.

If your not happy, then use the filters or just ignore them.

Do you watch a TV program you hate or do you turn the channel over?

Do you eat food you dislike or have something else?

If you do not like those without verification, ignore them and go to one that has!

We use site mainly to let people know when we are going to club , we haven't managed many direct meets from sight and have been on seven years , the ones we have met haven't always ended in play .

What rubbish. I would agree about getting photo verified as that helps to prove peeps are genuine but as for verification from others well that's not fair.

I have 2, they took me a long time to get because I was selective, I do not want to have to go out in the first month to gang bang some fat slag whilst bareback just to get a verification to stop you throwing me out!!

I am into swinging, but it's hard to find the right partners, it's easy for a lady to be a swinger, much harder for the bloke. I think intrinsically that men are all up for swinging but there has to be a female side to it, unless it's a gay thing obviously. Most women seem to want the dream Adonis, pity them, as opposed to genuinely swinging.

So whilst I feel your pain there must be better remedies than removal.

If someone is unverified after a time and the site deletes them they can just start up another profile anyway so what's the point.

I'd say if an account hasn't actually been logged onto in three months or more there may be an argument for it.

"If someone is unverified after a time and the site deletes them they can just start up another profile anyway so what's the point.

I'd say if an account hasn't actually been logged onto in three months or more there may be an argument for it.

But essentially wtf does it matter. If you don't trust unverified profiles move on to something else.... "

But sometimes I wander off and don't log in for a while. Why should someone else decide I can't come back?

There is a t girl on here who does not have verifications but she meets quite often.I have met her a few times myself,she does not want them because she says who she meets and what she does is private.

Yes I think this is a bit odd but it proves you cannot enforce this sort of rule in this site.

There are plenty of reasons as others have said why people do not have verifications

I really don't understand the problem. It's a bit like a film review. I wouldn't pay any attention to those either. My taste in films won't be the same as the last reviewer so I'll use my own tiny mind and make it up all by myself.

That would be silly, to delete or ban profiles after 1 month, with no verifications. Ive been on here for a few months, never received a verification, and as someone else said, other members dont have verifications, but we are just as important as members without verification, this is supposed to be a community, not singling a group of people out due to a lack of verifications, to even make a claim that they should be deleted or banned is bonkers.

If this becomes a thing, its going to create problems of fake profiles, or the community as a whole becoming smaller and smaller

There's lot's of correct post's in answer to the original post but the poster has forgot the one simple fact that shows how stupid a idea it would be, it would cost Fabswingers loss of income due to the loss of site hit's, renewals, excreta and i don't there stupid enough to do that.

"Lots of profiles of people who've never met even after a year or more. If not verified Then should be deleted as not really contributing to the ethos of swinging and it's in all our interest to uphold a certain swinging standard at a minimum of being genuine.

The "ethos" of swinging has nothing to do with being verified or not verified on an internet site. If you don't like unverified profiles, don't look at them, speak to them and block them. easy!"

I only have one vari from nearly a year ago, but that doesn't mean I'm not contributing. I'm not here to fuck anything that moves, im here for the social and tbh, I still chat to people I met the first time round..here and abroad. Does the fact I play internationally mean I contribute more or the fact I don't have vari mean I contribute less? It's not easy being a single bloke on here, yes I understand the need to be verified. It's the same on any website. But to shun because of a lack, that's your choice..to demand deletion as a result..a little harsh tbh..

It is really hard for many to get verified on here. You can't verify someone unless your verified so how can you contribute?

Several ways;

Meet someone who is verified.

Go to a club and meet people.

I'm led to believe the management of some clubs will verify you.

Don't let the reason for meeting people be getting verified.

Getting verified frequently changes very little, it's not the key to future success.

Don't obsess about it.

I get the drift of OP is that a method is needed to ensure people are genuine and therefore reliable... verifications prove nothing but a system of sorts is required to ensure no more fake profiles of blokes pretending to be women or couples

But why is it the sites responsibility to do that? we're all grown ups, it's really easy to spot the fakes, dreamers and wannabes...Surely we should take some accountability for ourselves?

What is this the new fascist fab

Why should everyone be subjected to censure being removed having accounts closed to meet the needs of a vocal small minded element of fab who seem to believe that they are somehow more important than other members... and thst anyone who doesn't fit thier preconceptions should be removed forthwith...

Fab is supposed to be a place for all who wish to participate in the way they feel comfortable participating... not the way some other member decrees they should behave

Ffs grow up and don't impose your prejudices on others...

"It's not about a verification from result of a meet...it's about a verification they are genuine and photo verified ... if not photo verified within a month delete their profile and the verified photo should as is asked for couples have name and picture of person. This will help stop or at least prevent fake profile from men pretending to be women and couples.

The ethos of swinging is about being genuine... many of us are, a minority are not!"

I'm not photo verified, and never will be

I meet people, go to clubs, organised socials and swinging festivals like swingfields

Not having a photo verification on here doesn't make me less genuine

Going unlos on here though makes me question how genuine a persons motives are on here, hide profile when wanting a break, but unlos repeatedly to me says much more than if someone has a photo verification

It's not the new anything, it's someone who had an idea and posted it without thinking it through.

And they've now gone UNLOS.

Second that! I went unlos due to a relationship but i do find that it is more couples who look down their noses at unverified... does make me wonder if its just the bloke enjoying the validity received from a couples prof he almost definitely wouldnt have received as a standalone man.

Note: no need for photo verification, the ones up are enough for me

I have been approached by and swapped kik etc with a number of unverified people on here and fab guys.

So as I'm unverified, it's wholly possible for someone who's unverified to meet a few other unverified people and .... gasp ... see they are genuine before meeting.

Also I consider it my right to have a long hard look at whose about and who I want to spend time with, and due to my prefences, who I would risk meeting for some of the things I know I enjoy already, and the things I wish to try.

Now I know a large part of this site are couples, wishing to play with other couples or wishing to meet (visit or by invitation) single males or females.

Single females, I would hope take great care and attention to who they meet as they are at risk, if they should choose to meet a certain type of person that would be easily capable of making a credible profile, if not a fully verified one.

As a single bi male who enjoys roll play and a certain amount of submission, I am never going to knowingly or willingly put myself at the mercy of a complete stranger. Anyone who fails to understand this is not the sort of person I would like to meet.

If you misconstrue, me wanting to KIK with you, then swap numbers and actually talk to you, then meet for a coffee or a walk around a gallery or museum so we can chat and see if we both are after the same thing and share attraction before making a date to play or moving on, with me wasting your time, then I'm going to assume you have no concept of the level of trust a normal person will want to gain with some one they are going to allow to have that level of control and command over me.

There is also no way any sensible person would meet a random stranger who happens to have a verification and a nice pic and allow them to use handcuffs etc.

Other risks may include, your partner finding out, my work finding out, you suddenly feeling all dirty and aggressive towards me etc.

Like many people I have had good and bad experimental experiences throughout my life, and I would like, as any normal well balkanced (yah it's me but I'm not a totes loony) to have good enjoyable experiences and not suffer some more of the bad things I experienced from time to time in my late teens and early twenties from meetings set up on phone chat lines, text services and the old wap chat.

If the technology exists to allow for some touchy feely check each over out now, use it and you will never have to come across some of the things I did as a young bi male.

Oh one last thing, why would anyone assume, that some one is going to trust someone else's opinion? I'm sure my tastes are different from most other peoples in most things.

That's why we choose things for ourselves, because we are all different.

If anyone is going to get deleted, we think it should be the people who haven't logged in for months. Quite often we do a search & get 200 results, of which 180 have not logged in for over 12mths. Those are the ones to delete.
