FabSwingers.com forum: Let's make FAB fab

Can we make this place better....

Can we make a better effort to get rid of fakes and bullies...

Public humiliation and posting offensive personal attacks has to stop.

The fakes and bullies are winning.

Report and block is no good on the forums when everyone has seen a vile post..

Verification of posters is inadequate..

It's far too easy to set up a fake profile and use it to attack others .

I have ideas to try fix it..

Firstly I think FAB need to log ip addresses so as to limit the amount of profiles to one each.. Obviously couples may have a single too.

Meet verified only allowed to post.

Site supporters only allowed to post... This is not fair on the genuine posters but at least it will cost the fakes every time they get banned.

Please post your ideas...

Let's agree something has to be done..

I'm in.

How about people just stop putting so much importance in their experiences on some website and just carry on with their normal lives away from it

Meet only allowed to post?

So basically it would be the same people chatting? Who most likely all have met at meet n greets etc?

IP addresses change all the time on some setups. You can't link an account to an IP or when your address changes you couldn't login.

Just because someone is meet verified or a site supporter doesn't mean they will make a better contribution to the forums.

It's not as easy to achieve as you think.

Not really. Clearly people who write these threads are 'in the scene'. There's nothing stopping the original Fabber verifying their spoof account.

...I don't know enough about ip addresses but I assume most here are on mobiles...

Posters being verified or supporters will not make them better contributors but I'd assume the cost of losing their supporter fee when the account is suspended would be a deterrent..

Mobile ip addresses change.

Plenty of site supporters get banned already. No deterrent.

it's an unachievable goal becuase you'll always have someone who wants to stir shit, someone who doesn't like someone else. It's human nature but I wish we could leave the prejudice behind

You think a losing a few quid will be a deterrent? God bless your innocence!

Do you want us non site supporters to leave now or do we get a few days notice?

I hate the elitist assumption that only non verified, non paying members are capable of stirring shit and posting nasty comments. It's pretty clear from some of the 'outings' posted that they're by people 'in the know' and as such, these people are neither new nor unverified on another regular profile.

Unfortunately the only cure for it is to grow a thick skin. Sad reality of the virtual world. Let the people who meet you and know you judge you and decide on the person you are not someone who never has met and never will.

I read it but the bit that hit me was the bit about site supporters should be the only ones allowed to post.

The traffic part of all this is that people who stir shit do it for attention and a bit of notoriety/attention. I presume he or she is jumping with delight reading this. Well played!

My idea is not to post any comment on a nasty thread, or one that a nasty person/bully tries to bring down to their own level...that only fuels the fire.

Let them have the last word....being ignored will be hard to take, and they'll soon get bored of the lack of attention and move off the site.

So this is the last one of those threads I'll post on.

Today we find out that the majority have shown that they don't care what a small minded minority think.

Couldn't the majority of Fab do the same?

Lowland im speaking for myself here and I doubt others will disagree. I wish to god.there was some system in place to prevent the assholes ruining a thread. I look at the UK and the size of the country and amount of users that post on the topics that interest them is shameful to say the.least compared to us, as there's rarely arguments, slating another person or any animosity involved. Im at a loss for words at some.of.the comments seriously and it saddens me

Unfortunately the culture that has developed in the Irish forum will not be changed easily.

Bullying, pettiness and drivel will continue and will pass on from one forum user to the next one.

So unless the forums are closed down completely all that we can do is continue to ignore the silly posts and report the nastiness from all parties and be thankful of the occasional post of substance that appears...
