who agrees that all profiles should be photo verified before they are approved on the site. It would cut out alot of the timewasters lets see if we can make this happen. Who agrees with my opinion?

You can choose to simply avoid those not photo verified.

Everyone has a choice that way

if people are that determined to put fake profiles up they will find ways around all the blocks. maybe admi should run xfactor type auditions for any new profiles, that way they know what the people look like before the profile is uploaded and the new profile gets verified straight away to

Don't agree. We've never been photo verified and we're obviously genuine from our verifications.

We were also on the site for over a year before we got any verifications, so we piss all over most peoples theories about fakes.

I sometimes think there is a possible correlation between the amount of timewasters people experience and how desperate/obsessed with meets they may be. They simply rush into agreeing before checking things out.

If they are so obviously fake...

1 - why worry you can avoid them

2 - just report them. If they are obvious to you they will be obvious to admin.

Unless you are just assuming of course.

I think nothing will come of it on all honesty, the way we have now can work well for all, like I said we have the choice of contacting only verified people or not, forcing people to photo verify will have many wondering if there is more to it than simply photo verification.

I seriously doubt they will change the rules as this has been suggested again and again in the year I've been here. And nothing has changed.

Photo verification, like the other verification, is not foolproof. best to live and let live and have fun on here. Life's too short to force people into doing things they don't want to do.

"well admin are lookin into it now ive suggested it. And if ur genuine you wouldnt need to go on another site."

So let me get this straight, you asked people whether they thought all profiles should be photo verified, the over riding response was no, and yet you still went to admin and asked them to look into it.......

Why did you ask for people's opinions? Why can you not exclude people that don't have photo verification in their profile? Why do you want people to "conform" to your behaviour?

Well done, if this gets pushed through I can see a whole bunch of people going elsewhere, why? Because if a bloody bank ca get hacked for private information, I am bloody sure a swinging site can be, and then all those "private" photos of people's faces and real names is distributed for the Lols on the Internet

Sheesh, the site is fine, your approach to it isn't. You will get time wasters, you will get genuine meets, try to focus on the positive.

okay.. i'll play along for the purposes of this thread...

I will happily accept photo varification if you can tell me if it stops the following...

1) does photo varification tell me if someones sexuality is correct..bi/straight/bi curious

2) does photo varification tell me if someone is married or single?

3) does photo varification tell me if someone is the height they claim they are??

4) does photo varification quite frankly tell me if someone is a complete arse??? or whether they have let people down?? ect ect ect

I am not photo varified.. never have been, not intending to.... but now do you see why photo varification is not the "bees knees"

I really don't know where you are going with this statement, I have NEVER been contacted by someone that wasn't what they pertained to be..... What would be the point, so a guy posing as a woman suggests we meet, I get there and the she is a he, then what? We talk about football? What's in it for them? You are a single guy, I get that couples might need to be a bit cautious when contacted by other couples or single women that turn out to be guys, but surely a social meet first negates this?

I sometimes think that the forums are a bad thing, it appears that everyone lies about their sexuality, gender, marital status etc. Etc. And this simply isn't true, well not in my experience

it is exactly you 1st point... 'should be made to'

I am photo verified and I like it, I believe it helps minimise issues, alongside a great set of search options for people to use...

Not as far as i know. You can block someone not verified at all but all a guy has to do is get someone to verify them (Or do it from another location )

I wondered about that till i noticed a friend had changed him and asked him. Nothing is fool proof but with photo verified profiles you know the pictures are genuine.

There is a difference between a footloose single joining a swinging site looking for a bit of nookie and a couple who are wondering if it is for them and what the options are.... may be seeking some advice on how others went about starting before giving it a go.

A couple with a decent job and worries about friends and family finding out before they even take the first steps.... and before they even get to join in on the site they are told they MUST either strip off and send full naked body shots or face pics to a site they no nothing about and don't know if they can trust........ hmmmmmmmmmm.

"Ok for arguments sake, say yes people had to be photo verified, what happens if they change their profile name? Do they lose their photo verification? will they have to upload another one?

Nothing is full proff.

No they are still photo verified even if they change names.

Ahh I didnt know that, and theres me thinking i was smarter than the average bear

I wondered about that till i noticed a friend had changed him and asked him. Nothing is fool proof but with photo verified profiles you know the pictures are genuine. "

I knew i spelt that wrong (fool proof) but couldnt figure out how, I'm tired thats my excuse and im sticking to it

No you don't.

Very few profiles show the photo they were verified with....... the rest of the photos could be anyone.

"There is a difference between a footloose single joining a swinging site looking for a bit of nookie and a couple who are wondering if it is for them and what the options are.... may be seeking some advice on how others went about starting before giving it a go.

A couple with a decent job and worries about friends and family finding out before they even take the first steps.... and before they even get to join in on the site they are told they MUST either strip off and send full naked body shots or face pics to a site they no nothing about and don't know if they can trust........ hmmmmmmmmmm.

"

oh deffinatley agree with this, I would have run a mile if told that when we 1st joined, and yes took a while before i fely comfortable to actually meet someone.

"who agrees that all profiles should be photo verified before they are approved on the site. It would cut out alot of the timewasters lets see if we can make this happen. Who agrees with my opinion?"

I don't. I think everyone should have a choice of what they do...including people having a choice of blocking non verified from mailing them.

No the people who approve photos have access to all a persons photos and will check when approving or if someone makes a complaint.

Seeing as so many photos are uploaded every day.... do you really think they have time to check them all against the verified one?

Photos which break the rules slip through the net often enough... without any need to check them against another one to know the break the rules.

Photo verified does not mean all of their photos have been vetted and verified.... just that one has.... and even those are easy enough to fake.

Not quite true, only Admin do PV's or deal with complaints... but yes I am guessing they check what other pics are on the profile while doing it.

Picture mods do normal pics on profiles.

You seem to know a lot about fake photos lol. Joke photos do get through but that's down to the standard of work done by the person checking. It is possible to have more than one picture up at the same time so i don't see how hard it is to check them i know they do so on other sites. We will have to not agree on this one.

She actually said admin look at photos when doing photo verifications and i seriously doubt admin would pass a photo verified picture that doesn't match others. So in effect photo verified profiles are checked by admin and mods.

Which in effect means if you send in a photo for verification first.... the people who verify anything after that can't see your verified photo to compare your new photos against... only admin can and they won't have time to go checking everyone's profiles... unless there is a complaint.

Btw… it’s not that I want to argue with you…. I just don’t want anyone being mislead into a false sense of security that all photos on a photo verified profile must be genuine.

So all the big fatties go get photo verified first then put slim sexy pics up just to fool everyone. I know you will do or say almost anything to make a point but you are now making me giggle at how far you will go to try and prove a point. Have it your way i really dont care for silly games Polo.

Yeah that's right only slim people are sexy and all the fatties have to fake it

I don't have to prove a point.... a mod has already mad it... and it starts by saying what you claimed is "not quite true".

Jeeze, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it think.

another thought, if a couple was to get themselves photo verified and then split up, the single (possibly male) could perhaps go on to use that profile acting as a couple, then you have a photo verified genuine fake couple.

Yes, has a message off a guy like that - verified as a couple but him and the woman had split up. He was up front about being single but he would have been verified so would get through filters etc.

As stated before, I was one half of a couple, I deleted our profile as soon as I became single, lost all the verifications which is fair as we met as a couple and not as a single guy.

I think Admin have made it clear that people should use their mail filters if they don't want to be contacted by unverified users.

As for PV...if anyone has any doubts that a persons pics may be fake , report them to Admin, as they can check them against a PV if there is one.

Might be time to close this now.
