Part of me says yes it should be mandatory but not everybody is on Fab for meets and many use it for forums use and event information.

There is a filter so that you can only see photo verified filters if you are that way inclined.

I think that's down to any individual.

Our veris were giving to us at parties,people having a laugh with us.

Woke up the next morning our veris were on here a lovely surprise.

I can see some attraction in it, but there are filters and I wouldn't like to be told I had to do something.

Photo verification may help limit the snoopers who come on here for a titillation with no interest in meets. Wives hunting errant husbands and vice versa.

Perhaps it would limit Men setting up single female accounts and wasting genuine members time. We would be in favour.

I won't ever get photo verified.

All sites have idiots, it's not the site's fault. I don't think it would make a difference/ deter them.

I couldn't even if it was mandatory if that makes sense, so would those who couldn't have to leave?

Lots of people say it shouldn't .. I guess if you have verifications people know you are real whether or not you are photo verified

I still now if I just see the green tick and no showing verifications have a little doubt in my mind - except with the people I know are genuine

See how it gets complicated

No!

This is a site for casual sex, if I "had to" I'd leave. Can find casual sex anywhere!

You are not meeting so Fab is only a forum to you so I can understand why you are not bothered.

No. Wouldn't solve anything.

It's easy to fake and at the end of the day I pay no heed to any veri except 'meet in person' - and even then I'll do my homework.

Possibly why fakes, timewasters and te like don't worry me in the slightest. They're easily avoided!

Actually I am meeting. Don't believe everything you read.

I don't just use the forums.

If i have ticked the verified only to message me

the site should ban un veri from even seeing my profile.

we have no interest in chatting to unveri so why should they be able see our pics .

guess its down to £££££ from the advertising.no free members ,no money from our pics

I think that should be the same for all the options. Say if I only have women ticked as wanting to meet, only women should be able to view my profile.

I just have pics on show that I don't mind people seeing. I restrict the rest to friends only or private.

Somewhere in North Norfolk

I'm not photo verified and will not get photo verified. If it became mandatory, I'd leave.

It's not because I have anything to hide. I'm happy to verify I'm female, or what I look like, by 'phone or on cam, to those people I decide to prove myself to.

Meet verifications mean much more to me anyway. I pay very little attention to photo verifications.

Past experiences have made me wary of meeting people not verified by meeting.

No.

There isn't ONE single benefit to be had by users in forcing other users to have photos verified.

If this is your must have criteria then simply communicate ONLY with those with verified photo's.

Then , after you have arranged a meet with them lie awake all night wondering if they used their own photos or someone elses.

Get up in the morning n start a thread about it.

Couldn't agree more

Too many people blame the site's functionality for their own lack of common sense.

we all go through life dealing with pitfalls, fakes and the rest, so as outlined above, common sense is best ?

Surely meeting someone in a club is exactly the same as an actual meet?

Why loads of veris say met at club but only chatted that doesn't prove they will turn up for meets

And the fact that they have met someone outside of a club guarantees that they will turn up to meet you how exactly? Verifications only prove someone is genuine, they aren't any guarantee of reliability.

From experience people with veris that have turned up at home meets that are consistent are normally reliable just because you meet in a club and just chatted doesn't make you reliable and yes there's never a guarantee of anything in life just more of percentage chance that they will turn up ,just my way of ing out time wasters

We tried and I buggered it up!

(typical bloke, didn't read instructions and posted a pic of us holding a card saying username!)

Not sure we can be arsed to have another go tbh

I think it's blindingly obvious if people are 'real' or not.... No real need to be a Rocket Scientist...just a bit o the old 'common'

arguably, maybe it should be a requirement to advertise for a meet?

then those that only want to cam or chat on the boards wont have to, and its all gravy
