"Curious what the process is on Fab for handling a bad meet, or subsequently warning others. The verification system seems biased towards positive verifications, with people not verifying bad meets and even if they did verify a bad meet with a negative verification it would just be hidden. How do people handle when a meet is bad? I don’t mean just ‘not enjoyable’ but to the extent that one party effectively sexually assaults the other. This has now happened twice on here, reported to Fab the first time and the profile is still live and active. " The issue there is that it's just one person's word against another. If an assault took place then that really should be reported to the police before anyone else, site included. Any online contact site is little more than a means of people interacting with eachother. The site owners can only do so much protect users and aren't responsible for how people choose to meet and what happens when they do. The responsibility for safety lies with us all as individuals. If you want to help others and also do what's right for yourself then get the police involved. A | |||

"Sounds more like a police matter And perhaps evaluate how you go about things " Both of these meets were with people on here that are heavily verified. We set up all rules & boundaries before hand and are crystal clear about them. We go in to so much depth about what isn't acceptable that very often we're told "That's too much work", the ones that don't say it's "Too much work" tell us it's the most laid out rules/explanation they've had and they welcome it. | |||

"999 Is a fair point, it just feels there should be something here on Fab where the verification/review/feedback system is authentic. As a whole the feedback system seems to promote position feedback. Someone could have met 100 people, sexually assaulted 97 of them but had great meets with 3 of them and the 3 verifications are the only ones that will show / give indication of a meet happening. Why is there no platform here to give honest feedback on a meet?" How would that be policed? I could say that I met you and you did something terrible. Why do people trust verifications as 100% truth? | |||

Nobody should go through this and those people should not be left to continue. | |||

"Never met or experienced anyone bad from here I’m lucky. Some have been better in one way than another though for different reasons. Eg, one had been better sensualy, another was more kinky. If that makes sense. But to say one was Best or Worse isn’t fair. Because I’d take any of them again right now. But I’ve been very very lucky to have anyone want to meet me, and I hope I’ve left them with memories as much as they’ve given me. " I'm not talking about a 'bad' meet in the sense you didn't enjoy someone, or they didn't get you off how you wanted. I'm talking about when someone specifically ignores your limits, tells you your safe word can't be used until they say so and then repeatedly does things to you against your consent - while explicitly being told not to do them. | |||

Why is there no platform here to give honest feedback on a meet?" There is no platform anywhere on the Internet where feedback is guaranteed to be honest. Look at retail and selling sites. Look at TripAdvisor. Look at hotel and restaurant reviews. Anyone with an axe to grind against someone can leave fake reviews and dishonest feedback. Any nutter or just someone with too much time on their hands and no morals can leave adverse info about a person or business. If you seriously think all feedback ever left following a meet on here or any review on any site anywhere online is true, honest and genuine....then I have some magic beans to sell you. The only thing that can be done to help prevent assaults, harrassment, stalking and any serious issues such as bla*kmail, is the involvement of the police. A | |||

Identity authentication could be used like on AirBnb , dating sites and most p2p platforms. People can hide here behind anonymity | |||

"I’d phone the police. No means no. Any form of sexual assault isn’t/shouldn’t be tolerated. I do believe police/courts have the right to ban them from platforms such as these (I’m probably wrong, but you’d like to think so) " They can. It's also in the site T's & C's that you can't sign up as a member if you've been convicted of a criminal offence. No idea how admin would know, but its there. " As for verifications, I agree that I think they should be published without choice (especially in instances such as this) " So what if someone left a fake verification saying something negative about you even if you'd never met them? Would that be OK? You can't force people to either leave or show verifications. Removing choice opens up the possibility for too much abuse of the system. A | |||

" That sounds aweful, and I’m sorry you went through that. If I felt bad afterwards I’d contact admin possibly. Hopefully the website watch peoples profiles for when enough people report to make it possible to do something about assoles and abusers. (Yes, they’ve abused your trust!) If I felt I’d been assaulted, (as others said) I’d contact the police. | |||

Oh my god that's awful. Sorry you went through that, OP. I'd definitely report him to the police, and also keep Fab admin in the loop, too. Unfortunately, Fab's hands are a bit tied when it comes to anything that happens outside of the website. But if a crime has taken place (which it most definitely has) then it's upto the police at that point. The only other thing I can think of is for you to spread the word about him to your friends on here, maybe scan his veris for people you know/like and give them a heads up, etc. With any luck if the police/Fab admin get enough reports about him they can actually do something, and he'll get thrown in prison/placed on the sex offenders register where he belongs. | |||

"The site owners can only do so much protect users and aren't responsible for how people choose to meet and what happens when they do. The responsibility for safety lies with us all as individuals." Whoa, now. Careful saying such things... doing so (or even merely alluding to such in the form of a question) may lead to accusations, name-calling, and being blocked! | |||

"Totally agreed with others, a meet with sexual assault is just sexual assault. And that’s something beyond verifications and reviews. I always preferred to meet just for a coffee in a nice cafe and have a relaxing conversation before going any further." It's not as simple as this. A recent experience started with a well written profile that ended with an invite. Lucky for me it wasn't a 121 but at a party. He turned up d*unk and English was not his first language so pretended to misunderstand when was firmly told to leave. He turned up at my door the next day demanding entry and to be serviced. I ignored him and he started to kick my door down. Luckily I still had a male guest who was still with me and he had to tell him to go away (with stronger words!) or we will call the police. And reminded him to have a look at all the CCTV's at the main entrances. I always take a face pic screen shot when I make contact, but even with that, what leads could the police take? We are desperately short of police officers as it is...? In retail terms, we may have Trading Standards and retail laws to protect us. But I agree with the OP that retailers (Fab) have a responsibility to remove dangerous stuff if reported? | |||

" Yes i totally get where you're coming from. It seems fab admin can only control what messages they seen written or forum content because it's quite hard evidence. Where meets, unless it was filmed showing the abuse, then it's subjective. May sound weird to most people, but when men say they're dominant, it sends shivers down my back and I personally avoid them especially if their profile comes across aggressive. Maybe take more time vetting the men you meet. I am really particular who I meet as I can imagine alot of men taking advantage of women just because they're on fab. | |||

"I’m not sure but this is what I’d do- If you’ve been assaulted contact the police, tell fab & block them . If they were really pushy and borderline abusive tell fab to look into it and block them If you just didn’t like them , block them If it’s happening regularly - Choose more wisely " Thats all well and good, but it won't stop the persin from doing it again, or allow the OP to warn others. | |||
