Iv been on fab over a year i didnt really do much on it till lately. Any of the people im talking to are genuine people but when it comes to the forums theres a lot of people set out to give a very bad impression of people. So if any can enlighten me when people wont meet verified people but yet a post goes up to help verified people, if ye are willing to do that ye wouldnt need a post to do it. My question is why is it for a so called liberal open minded site why people are so excluded of other site supporters and there opinions

You have verified and unverified mixed up in your initial post which confuses things a little bit

People of both sexes need to feel safe when meeting others for a coffee even when its in a public place so they exercise freedom of choice as to who they meet.

It doesn't matter how liberal people are meant to be or not be on the site ....safety is a basic requirement

I/We prefer to meet only "meet verified" people who have a proven track record of showing up. It's not a cast iron guarantee but it's a decent indicator.

That's fair enough - and nothing I said was aimed at you. I was just explaining our particular reason for only meeting those who are verified. We meet others so infrequently that it makes sense to have mitigations in place

I look at the forums like an extension of the socials and parties I go to.

Of course I'm going to laugh and joke with people I've met and interacted with in real life

However everyone has to find their own place on the forums...then when they're comfortable they can make others feel comfortable to interact with them and see if it can be taken further

You don't have to like everyone you interact with on the forums,indeed I'm blocked by some profiles but we still chat to each other in threads on here politely

and thats fine i understand that but it is the reason for the name of the topic i dont understand why when your verified and site verified and try get involved in a forum and are a site supporter why people on the forums are so quick to discredit people intentionaly.as i said im over a year on here paying my support payment i sure this is a topic that people should really think of. Iv read all types of topics on here from body shaming to social events but not one topic of inclusion is suppose to be an openminded site ..sorry about the rant but someone had to have it

Far far away

Forums are just to throw out conversations, it's helps to get to know ppl. Yes, some will be harsh, some will be funny, but isn't that life... Meet a room of people, you'll not click with everyone..

There are highly decent people but in life it takes time to figure things out. Fab is not a quick fix

I don't meet people with unverified accounts. Nor will I interact with anyone that doesn't have photos. That feels like basic common sense for anyone who wants to meet other people for sex through the internet.

That clique you're talking about? I've met them and they are all great craic.

Maybe because, as in all areas of life, not everyone will like everyone, not everyone will get along, some people you can barely tolerate and some you plain can't breathe the same air as. Fab, and ergo the forums, is a microcosm of real life so all those human interactions and relationships are mirrored here

It is true that there are some in the forums that have an overwhelmingly negative outlook and seem intent on spreading that vibe at every opportunity.

I wouldn’t worry about it too much my friend. I’m not long here, I’ve only used the forums today but I’ve looked at it for a while now. I’ve blocked some people that I’ve seen on the forums, I’ve blocked some people I’ve seen on the who’s near feature, I’ve blocked some that I’ve messaged and they have looked at me and ignored me. I’ve blocked people that don’t fit my criteria and I’ve blocked people because I don’t fit their criteria, needs or standards they’ve set. It’s just a near fantasyland that you are on here. I don’t want to meet everyone that’s a member, I want to keep my circle small. That way, I feel I’ll get the most benefit of being here and those within my circle, will get the greatest benefit of me.

You’ll never be everything to everyone. Just be yourself, do your own thing and you’ll reap the rewards you seek.

Not sure it’s gone quiet because you’ve called them out. It’s after midnight and perhaps, many are gone to bed. Not sure either you’ve actually called anyone out but maybe I’ve read it all wrong. And like I said above, reap what you sow and you’ll get the rewards and I’ve a feeling that others are seeing the rewards for all your sowing.

And off to bed I go.

I get treated grand and I'm not verified yet. If you conduct yourself properly you'll be grand and have the craic but if you don't and I've seen it they will call you out on it.

OP I may be wrong but I suspect you've had a couple of drinks and feeling a bit sorry for yourself. From your 2 verifications so far I see you've met 2 gems so Fab has been good to you. I'm most certainly not in the forum clique but I really enjoy the forums. If I give strong opinions I get strong responses. I've had loads of laughs and as yet haven't had cause to cry. Have patience with Fab and the forums and one day you might even find you've become one of said clique. Stay strong.

Isn't the 'clique' just the forum users who are having a good time though?

Or is there really a shadowy cabal of smug swingers dead set on punching down in service to unknown yet perilous end?

You're the first person I've seen on the forums refer to how long someone is on Fab so you're being typical of what you're on about. Quite ironic!

Not at all, it’s specific to you and your experience. People use the forum on a regular basis so they either get information, enjoyment, or potential meets from it.

Your opinion is specific to you, but others clearly feel differently.

If you dont like the forum, then there are other features.

It’s akin to going to a restaurant and complaining that you don’t like the fish, but you love the steak. In that scenario you wouldn’t feel the need to announce to the rest of the restaurant that you hate their fish, you’d simply order that steak. Unless your the type of customer would feels the need to stand on a chair and make a public display of your loathing of the fish dish, then that is a slightly different issue and it really isn’t about the fish at all.

Forums don't treat people.

People treat people.

It only takes a quick scan right across all the various forums on here and not just the Ireland one to see that there are threads like this one every single day with accusations of forum bullying and cliques.

I don't chat to anyone on here outside the forums so any interaction I have with people is all there for everyone to see and a lot of what I say on here goes against the grain.

Even so I've been accused of being part of the clique which is hilarious really because there's no fecking way they would let me in.

It's difficult for one person to "gang" up on others.

All I've seen above is positive advice offered that you have chosen to take offence at which is something else that happens every day on the forums.

I'm blocked by lots of people including some who have commented on this thread and I've no interest in knowing why just as I've no interest in telling all the people I've blocked or won't chat to why I made that decision.

I don't meet unverified people and that's my choice and I don't need to give a reason.

There are many verified people I wouldn't touch with someone else's either and again that's my choice and I won't be explaining why.

Somewhere in Co. Down

To your original post op I've met unverified people in the past that I chatted to and got to know. I now though have set a filter so no one unveried can message me just to tighten filters more than anything else. And I'm not doing new meets right now so it's irrelevant anyhow,but I'm also not on here to give anyone a chance I joined here to meet people I want to meet.As for verified people having all the choices and picking who to meet,well those looking to be verified on those threads have just as much right to say no thanks as well. No one has to meet anyone they don't want to.

As for people being bullied and nasty on the forums. Yes I have seen nastiness on here. I've seen pile ons on plenty of occasions,bullying not so much. I've seen people come in all guns blazing telling everyone how it is in their mind,insulting others then pulling they bully card when anyone dares to disagree.

The clique word gets used a lot and yes it can be quite non inclusive on here and yes it can look cliquey at times. Usually though that is used by those who make almost no effort on here and seem to get mad because they don't get replies they want. I rarely get replies on here and I couldn't give a rat's ass. I post my opinion on here,many probably roll their eyes when they see me post but that's not my problem and I don't actually care.

The clique line is also as an excuse by those who often return on here after being extremely abusive about the women on here calling them all sorts of derogatory names in a big rant before they left before. But easier to blame the 'clique'than the fact people just remember what was said.

Op I'm sure you've talked to plenty who don't like the forums. Only a tiny minority use the forums though,and quite often the forums are looked down on by other users. They are definitely not the be all and end all of fab. In fact in recent times they have gotten a lot quieter due to outside chat groups. I'm not in groups I've no interest in them tried them before and found them worse than the forums for unnecessary drama and not to mention info spreading so I pass on them now. That is my choice,plenty of people enjoy chat groups and I'm sure there are groups that aren't like the ones I've been in but my experience put me off so I avoid them.Just like if I felt that way about the forums I'd avoid them too.

But no one has power on here unless you let them. Some on here think they do which is actually laughable. They only have it in their own circles and those circles change all the time because people get fed up of the drama and bullshit eventually.

Concentrate on your own journey if you really don't like the forums and find that they get to you then why continue to use them ? The forums will never change posters on here come and go all the time but in the time I've been on here they don't change much,no matter how much people might want them to.

And it's way too early for such a long a post so I'm stopping now you'll all be half to hear

"If you don’t enjoy the forums, but do enjoy other aspects of the site, then simply avoid the forums.

Pretty simple really. isnt that statement more or lest what im on about "smply avoid the forum" exclusion.

Not at all, it’s specific to you and your experience. People use the forum on a regular basis so they either get information, enjoyment, or potential meets from it.

Your opinion is specific to you, but others clearly feel differently.

If you dont like the forum, then there are other features.

It’s akin to going to a restaurant and complaining that you don’t like the fish, but you love the steak. In that scenario you wouldn’t feel the need to announce to the rest of the restaurant that you hate their fish, you’d simply order that steak. Unless your the type of customer would feels the need to stand on a chair and make a public display of your loathing of the fish dish, then that is a slightly different issue and it really isn’t about the fish at all. "

thats the worst case of logic iv heard so far trying to explain something

"If you let what goes on in the forum get to you it will drive you away from fab but if just go with the flow you'll enjoy it. There's plenty of sound people on the forums don't let a few bad apples ruin it for you OP. thats not the case i dont like to get to involve in topics but when i do i speak my mindget involved in the fun ones too and move out to the lounge and swingers forum lots of craic there. its not about me its the way forums treat people

Forums don't treat people.

People treat people.

It only takes a quick scan right across all the various forums on here and not just the Ireland one to see that there are threads like this one every single day with accusations of forum bullying and cliques.

I don't chat to anyone on here outside the forums so any interaction I have with people is all there for everyone to see and a lot of what I say on here goes against the grain.

Even so I've been accused of being part of the clique which is hilarious really because there's no fecking way they would let me in.

It's difficult for one person to "gang" up on others.

All I've seen above is positive advice offered that you have chosen to take offence at which is something else that happens every day on the forums.

I'm blocked by lots of people including some who have commented on this thread and I've no interest in knowing why just as I've no interest in telling all the people I've blocked or won't chat to why I made that decision.

I don't meet unverified people and that's my choice and I don't need to give a reason.

There are many verified people I wouldn't touch with someone else's either and again that's my choice and I won't be explaining why."

again i understand your point of view, but there is a lol of people on theses forum that can be trouble makers making someone look bad because they actually have an opinion. I know i probably am kinda blacklisted on the rest of fab because of small group of people on the forum made sure to make me look like a bad person and tbh iv seen here where people post a topic and before they get a reply they know its going to be rough

The only person who can make you look bad is you. Let others get on with it and do your own thing. People aren't always going to agree with what others say, that's part and parcel of life not just here. If its affecting you then rethink life online or learn to move past things that you don't agree with

I've been here almost seven years and using the forums for four. In that time I've started hundreds of threads and I've only ever had one thread that has had more than 30 replies but I don't take it personally.

I have opinions and most days I can't be arsed offering them but I'm not afraid of voicing them every now and again.

Lots of people respect that I have those opinions but others don't appreciate it and refuse to interact which is their perogative.

The opinions of random randy people in a forum aren't going to have much impact on my day but if it makes them happy then let them off.

Why do you think being a site supporter gives you any additional sway around here?

It merely means that you have access to additional features like notes, the ability to post extra pics etc.

You’ve mentioned it a few times like it gives you the keys to the kingdom.

Mother of God.. I've just read back through the whole thread.

OP.. You really need to practice your debating skills.

You talk about being bullied and the bullies on here yet there's no bullying going on in this thread.

If people don't want to meet you then that's on you, not on anyone else. When you go into a pub do you criticise all the people who don't wish to engage with you? Are they all bad as well?

Telling people who have a different opinion to yours that they are part of the problem isn't going to help your cause very much. It's also worth remembering that the vast majority of site members here don't bother with the forum at all.

OP I can see that you feel your opinion very strongly, but I think it may be time to realize that you’re not covering yourself in glory here.

I think anyone on a forum like this needs to develop a thick skin and not take things personally. Yes there are plenty of asshats on any forum, but there are plenty of decent people as well. Ignore the former as best you can and embrace the latter.

People aren't always going to agree with what others say, that's part and parcel of life not just here. If its affecting you then rethink life online or learn to move past things that you don't agree with im not out to make myself look bad and no its not affecting me fab itself is a nice place the forums different story altogether. Im not saying everyone bad on the forums, aslong as im a site supporter ill be here

Why do you think being a site supporter gives you any additional sway around here?

It merely means that you have access to additional features like notes, the ability to post extra pics etc.

You’ve mentioned it a few times like it gives you the keys to the kingdom. im not sure why you are bother have you not got me blocked the last time i checked it is a way to stop people from viewing and contacting the person would i be right "

More deflecting because you don’t have a logical answer?

"like the last reply i had she had me blocked but still felt she could send a message on the forum. "

You requested people's opinions.

She expressed her opinion.

If you only want to hear from people who agree with you then you should say that.

It's a public forum and anyone who likes can post their replies on it.

"If you let what goes on in the forum get to you it will drive you away from fab but if just go with the flow you'll enjoy it. There's plenty of sound people on the forums don't let a few bad apples ruin it for you OP. thats not the case i dont like to get to involve in topics but when i do i speak my mindget involved in the fun ones too and move out to the lounge and swingers forum lots of craic there. its not about me its the way forums treat people

Forums don't treat people.

People treat people.

It only takes a quick scan right across all the various forums on here and not just the Ireland one to see that there are threads like this one every single day with accusations of forum bullying and cliques.

I don't chat to anyone on here outside the forums so any interaction I have with people is all there for everyone to see and a lot of what I say on here goes against the grain.

Even so I've been accused of being part of the clique which is hilarious really because there's no fecking way they would let me in.

It's difficult for one person to "gang" up on others.

All I've seen above is positive advice offered that you have chosen to take offence at which is something else that happens every day on the forums.

I'm blocked by lots of people including some who have commented on this thread and I've no interest in knowing why just as I've no interest in telling all the people I've blocked or won't chat to why I made that decision.

I don't meet unverified people and that's my choice and I don't need to give a reason.

There are many verified people I wouldn't touch with someone else's either and again that's my choice and I won't be explaining why. again i understand your point of view, but there is a lol of people on theses forum that can be trouble makers making someone look bad because they actually have an opinion. I know i probably am kinda blacklisted on the rest of fab because of small group of people on the forum made sure to make me look like a bad person and tbh iv seen here where people post a topic and before they get a reply they know its going to be rough

deflecting what ? If im good enough to block why would you make contact with me its abit odd well then again its showing the type of people on here that thinks they are a cut above , its a bit like oliver twist " please sir can i have some more "

OP Bullying is against the site rules and if you feel bullied you should report it and let the site admins deal with it. You can be sure someone is keeping an eye on this thread as it's the most exciting thing to happen in ages.

Honestly it's better than a soap opera. We've got a soap box and everything.

You don't have to take part at all if you don't want to

You also don't have to agree with everyone or anyone on a thread

Just because you're blocked by someone doesn't stop them from answering you in any forum unless they are using the forum to get around a block

Do you not understand the concept of "public forum". Anyone can post on it. I think you need to get your head around that.

It's truthful and honest in your own mind. That doesn't mean it's correct.

A quick summary

tl:dr

OP laments the paradox of verification despite being verified by two ladies in very good standing.

This is somehow related to regular forum users

Said users respond with often repeated observations that are both thoughtful and civil.

OP feels bullied by 'les clique'

Answers flood in

OP dismisses any helpful suggestions and cites them as evidence of a conspiracy.

Jeez it's kinda sad to see another one of these "poor me" posts and taking it out on forum users who reply to your original post and engage with you honestly and in a friendly helpful way only to be shot down by you. I've been here a while now and I've not seen much in the way of bullying or cliques. Intact I see a lot of ppl going out of their way to help new ppl to the site and being quiet welcoming to new ppl.

You speak alot about all these cliques but mate you have to understand that lots of theses ppl have met each other in person and have become friendly because they have gotten a much better understanding of how they are and act outside of this site . 90% of ppl ore good ppl but as someone has already said when you walk onto a pub, do you expect everyone to turn around and say hi 38 for fear that you'll get offended if the don't.

I don't really see your argument here to be honest. Not everyone is suited to this site but from what I see from the forums is mostly good genuine ppl having the laugh and the chats and being helpful to others, old and new members.

They blocked you. That merely means they don't want you contacting them.

It also means you're not allowed use the forum as a means of getting around that block and trying to make contact with them théigh forum pósta.

It does not mean that they cannot reply to your public posts.

You're reading way too much into being blocked by someone. Many people block people they know they don't, or won't, be meeting as it makes searching easier. It's not a big deal. We're all blocked by numerous profiles.

You're completely wrong about the first part of that.

The block has nothing to do with the forum, unless you, the blocked person, tries to get around the block by contacting the person who blocked you via the forum.

You are still allowed to reply to their posts as much as you like.

You have clearly misunderstood the rules around blocking.

"Cahoots is a great word. Anyone else want to be in cahoots with me?

Cahoots is where it’s at. Count me in. But only if we can also be a clique and engage in conspiratorial shenanigans.

Cahoots and shenanigans???? Is it Christmas?"

I better not throw in any hijinks or things might get out of hand!

"blocking people doest give anyone the right to reply to the person they block weather its public or not its a bit two faced is it not

No its not....thats normal on here and you need to understand that

aw if im blocked by people it doent bother me because if they are so quick to block it says alot about the person

But it does bother you.....the whole thread is based on it bothering you

It doesn't say anything good or bad about someone if they block you

no its not. The say fact about it is theres a lot of people on here that would agree with me but are to afraid to go against the people im dealing with at the moment incase they get backlash from it.im really am not bothered about speaking out even if it does me harm more people sbould be speaking out my point is starting to prove itself with the people who are thriving on it"

"If you don’t enjoy the forums, but do enjoy other aspects of the site, then simply avoid the forums.

Pretty simple really. isnt that statement more or lest what im on about "smply avoid the forum" exclusion.

Not at all, it’s specific to you and your experience. People use the forum on a regular basis so they either get information, enjoyment, or potential meets from it.

Your opinion is specific to you, but others clearly feel differently.

If you dont like the forum, then there are other features.

It’s akin to going to a restaurant and complaining that you don’t like the fish, but you love the steak. In that scenario you wouldn’t feel the need to announce to the rest of the restaurant that you hate their fish, you’d simply order that steak. Unless your the type of customer would feels the need to stand on a chair and make a public display of your loathing of the fish dish, then that is a slightly different issue and it really isn’t about the fish at all. thats the worst case of logic iv heard so far trying to explain something"

Obviously you are dug into your opinion and that’s fine. Best of luck on your fab journey

"Iv been on fab over a year i didnt really do much on it till lately. Any of the people im talking to are genuine people but when it comes to the forums theres a lot of people set out to give a very bad impression of people. So if any can enlighten me when people wont meet verified people but yet a post goes up to help verified people, if ye are willing to do that ye wouldnt need a post to do it. My question is why is it for a so called liberal open minded site why people are so excluded of other site supporters and there opinions "

I don't understand the question???

I'm going to try

Some people use fab as a social and chatting forum . Those that answer it ?

"Op ....anyone can chose who they want to meet

Whether you like it or not its freedom of choice

The forums are only a tiny percentage of what happens on fab

People are going to private parties or having meets and have never been near the forums i agree with you thats why i say the people i chat on her are nice genuine people its the forums where people are nasty and exclusive not all people but some"

Nasty people don't tend to engage in dm with people they have no interest in . If they do have an interest they are hardly going to be nasty .

I think your comparing talking to one person in a room and talking to everyone in a room .no room is going to be full of people you see eye to eye with .

"I/We prefer to meet only "meet verified" people who have a proven track record of showing up. It's not a cast iron guarantee but it's a decent indicator. despite what you actually know about me i am a descent person and anyone that knows me knows i dont make plans unless i can gaurantee i can meet them

That's fair enough - and nothing I said was aimed at you. I was just explaining our particular reason for only meeting those who are verified. We meet others so infrequently that it makes sense to have mitigations in place and thats fine i understand that but it is the reason for the name of the topic i dont understand why when your verified and site verified and try get involved in a forum and are a site supporter why people on the forums are so quick to discredit people intentionaly.as i said im over a year on here paying my support payment i sure this is a topic that people should really think of. Iv read all types of topics on here from body shaming to social events but not one topic of inclusion is suppose to be an openminded site ..sorry about the rant but someone had to have it"

So why not start what you deem an inclusive tread?

Be more productive that complaining
