I think people should have a rating out of five or ten x and also be able to block people and not see them on your feed

There should definitely be a means to accurately rate other users on Fab.

Many people have bad experiences and feel powerless to warn others. But there is no social consequence for bad behaviour.

For example... on Saturday we were stood-up by a guy with whom we had corresponded over three months. We sent photos, our Kik ID, our phone number (with an invitation for him to call to confirm our authenticity) etc. He also had our GPS via the Fab mobile app. He agreed to meet weeks ago, we booked a hotel, but as we arrived he messaged us to voiced concerns we weren’t authentic! We sent photos of us st the pub, plus a dated bar receipt. He said he would arrive in a couple of hours... but he never showed up. This guy has 25 glowing verifications, which is why we approached him. And our experience isn’t uncommon on Fab.

There needs to be a way of leaving negative feedback.

It would be fairly easy, actually. But perhaps if the fakes and flakes were clear to see this site wouldn’t generate so much money for the owners.

Having held quite a few partys in the past with the view of always including single guys we found on average 4 out of 5 would not turn up after virtually begging to come and saying they would not let us down and having verifications out of there ears we have come to accept this as a fact as having tried to shame these people we got into trouble with Fab

So yes there should be some sort of strike system used by Fab if someone can prove they were let down a first strike should be shown on the offenders profile and maybe after 3 strikes they can be suspend from Fab

I now they can just start up a new profile but as a single guy it is hard to get verifications so alot would be unwilling to lose them

I don't wish to harm single males chances of a meeting heaven knows its hard enough for them but if a points or strike system is in place maybe it would deter people from arranging a meeting if they knew they couldn't make it or at the very least let you know in plenty of time that thy cannot come we all have life's outside of swinging and things happen you can't control

Perhaps a points system would increase their chances of a meeting? It would mean guys who show-up get approached again. And those who don’t show-up repeatedly won’t suffer much of a loss... lol

Suppose I turn up to meet someone and they are already there. We chat and at the end of a brief discussion I say I'd rather not meet again. The other person gets miffed and reports me as a no show/ time waster. How do I prove I was there without another elaborate points system where both parties check in somewhere.

This aint Tinder, rating people seriously? And if this became a thing people that are new or trying to get veris/meets will be doomed because of ratings... And ratings based on what?? Have you even thought thoroughly about this? Put yourself in others shoes and think about from their perspective.

There are different kinds of meets with different expectations. Providing all parties know what to expect, this shouldn’t be an issue.

A social meet should be just that. Alternatively if you meet with an expectation of sex and occasionally say no, that’s not a problem. But if you meet with the expectation of sex and regularly say no... well, guys might want to know that beforehand.

You’ve been here seven weeks and don’t yet have verification. Consider that those of us who have been here years may have a fuller understanding of the site.

We are not talking about physical attractiveness or sexual performance. We are talking about rating communication, authenticity and follow-through to meetings.

The same way Uber, AirBnB and all the other c2c sites do it... there is a mutual expectation. If it isn’t met, you rate accordingly. The more ratings, the more strength it has.

It just wouldn’t work OP. eBay etc employ I’d guess, hundreds of people to manage their verications, FAB is run by volunteers. It would be so open to abuse.

Fab isn’t the real world. That’s the problem. It presents a distorted view of users because you can’t report what is really happening. And any criticism is silenced, as has been attested above. I also think there are a large number of single women who are put off by these issues...

It depends what you mean by manage. Most eBay ratings require no management. But in the occasional event of a dispute, there is arbitration from eBay. I guess you mean that?

Arbitration could work in several ways, but peer review would be our preference.

My problem with that is that expectations aren't always mutual. You said earlier that men might want to know if I met socially often without moving on to sex. They might award me 1/10 if that was the case. Whereas I would award a man who expected women to have sex even if a social didn't go well a 1/10.

We agree. The solution is to only have specific rating options available by mutual consent. In other words, if you both agree to a social meet on the site, you can rate that experience on the site. That way you wouldn’t be subject to a review for something you hadn’t agreed to.

You can't simple as it's subjective. A good example is right here in the OP. He had 25 veris, I'm assuming been around about 9 months to a year, all looks great but decides not to show for whatever reason. His 25 veris seem to say he'll show, he's been here a good while, he's communicated well.....But last minute he didn't show for whatever reason. So he gets 1 bad mark. Then he arranges a meet with a regular who gives him a glowing veri.

If I were looking at that I'd ask was it him or did the precious people just not like him.

Another thing to add is what about repeat meets. I've had loads of meets that I've not given nor received veris for because it's with the same few people. If I had a veris for every meet I had I could be looking at over 100 in the 3 years I've been here as I've a few regulars go back years. The reality is that I may have only met 5 or 6 different people in the time, again this would give some false ideas about how reliable I would be in meeting a 'new' person.

There are many more reason why this rating suggestion wouldn't work too.

Whether someone shows up or not isn’t subjective. And if he gets 100 people giving him 1/10 for meets then you might assume it’s not because someone is being precious, as you put it. Currently he only publishes verifications that put him in a good light... who wouldn’t?

As for repeat meets... that could easily be dealt with, perhaps with a special status of Fabber. In other words, if you received ratings from the same people multiple times you get recognised as that rare thing... a dependable, capable, sexy stud-muffin (or whatever). A little badge could mark your profile pic.

Due to our experience of holding partys we have found that there are a lot of single guys who have the attitude that cples that swing are for want of a better word freakish and can treat them as they like which damages the genuine ones so as I believe a three strike system with mods overseeing it and the right of appeal would make things alot easier for everyone involved cples and singles alike as there are cples who let people down and I only think it should be about weather or not they turned up not about there appearance or manner

As I have spoken to alot of people cples and singles who are very disappointed in Fab not even trying to resolve this issue

After all isn't that what happened to Facebook though a lack of action

"As I have spoken to alot of people cples and singles who are very disappointed in Fab not even trying to resolve this issue "

We’ve been here two years. We have a young family, so need to plan meets in advance. Of the 60+ guys we’ve engaged with, most have dropped out when you suggest a meet. Of the 11 guys who agreed to meet, only 2 actually showed up. It makes no difference if we video chat beforehand. It makes no difference if we provide continual confirmations. They usually bail a few minutes before the agreed time, via txt. When we send a pic of us at the venue, a few have said they will be a couple of hours late. They never show. One kept us waiting for four hours...

Our experience chimes with yours: 80% of guys here (even those with verifications) never show, despite the promises. Perhaps guys might say the same of couples... but we always show. Our time for Fabbing is too precious to mess about.

It’s not difficult to see why the admin do nothing. Single guys are the largest source of revenue for the site. And 80% don’t meet, for whatever reason. Holding them accountable would seriously affect profits.

We haven’t moaned constantly. We’ve been here two years without complaint, dutifully paying for a site that promotes itself as being run by swingers, for swingers.

You have a good point. I'm not sure though how many of that 80% become site supporters tbh.

I have proposed time after time to admin to help especially with those that come on and abuse they system and people in it and disappear again for whatever reason like being removed, blanked, or just only to reapear to abuse; they should have a 72hrs minimum restriction to use any of the facilities on fab including contacting others.

I've never in 3 yrs had a reply from Admin on this proposal.

Like you say it may restrict traffic and revenue so it won't happen.

We are proposing something additional to verifications. And ratings would significantly improve your chances of meeting because the time-wasters would be visible. We think that’s 80% of guys. So couples would just be looking at the 20%...

"Why don't those who don't like the way FAB run their site just leave and go elsewhere rather than moan constantly that their £5.00 doesn't get them to Nirvana!

I'm sorry you feel this way but as you clearly say you are not meeting at the moment and from your profile never have so if you have never suffered from a total time waster I don't see your point "

We’ve met in the past and are verified as so

"Well as I said I have spoken with a lot of people who are disappointed in the people that set the meeting with but more so Fab as there have been plenty of threads in past forms and as I see not one reply from so called moderators or Fab owners to address this issue I myself have joined another site and have spoken to people on that site who were so disappointed with Fab that they moved and I think though total inaction I fear alot of others will to its nice that Fab offers a free site but if all that site offers is letdowns and disappointment them the site will fail more and more will leave and I for one don't want that as we have been on here for a long time and made many friends

It’s not difficult to see why the admin do nothing. Single guys are the largest source of revenue for the site. And 80% don’t meet, for whatever reason. Holding them accountable would seriously affect profits.

You have a good point. I'm not sure though how many of that 80% become site supporters tbh.

I have proposed time after time to admin to help especially with those that come on and abuse they system and people in it and disappear again for whatever reason like being removed, blanked, or just only to reapear to abuse; they should have a 72hrs minimum restriction to use any of the facilities on fab including contacting others.

I've never in 3 yrs had a reply from Admin on this proposal.

Like you say it may restrict traffic and revenue so it won't happen. "

I feel for all the genuine singles on this site as we always include single guys in our partys and treat every one equal

But if admin and the mods ignore the complaints over profits it really is very sad we have been on this site a long time now and it was set up for genuine people with swinging in common to contact each other without being ripped off by so called dating sites

But it has changed and even from this thread alone you can see so many people who have concerns but again not one mod or a admin to be seen

As far as I can see moderators just seem to be there to collect pics and close down threads that admin may not like

It’s impossible to say for sure, but from our experience every one of the 60+ guys we’ve had exchanges with were site supporters. And they frequently renew.

We like your suspension idea too.
