"Is not a choice?....am sure loads here are verified by meets etc but are not photo verified...does it really put people off if you are not photo verified?" It is a choice and no it wouldn’t put me off as long as they had more than one verification that I could do an audit trail on  but yes, I would prefer it. I would just see it as part of the registration process. But hey ho we all feel differently about things | |||

Very good point. It must be so intimidating to join up and have 200 messages before even uploading a photo. I’ve spoken with quite a few women who gave up after a couple of days here as it was so bad with being “pounced on”
On another site, they’ve just introduced trigger warnings before every first message. A bit like the ?? “this person is outwith age range” warning on here.
It will say things like “would you be happy for your friends to see the message you’re about to send” or “is this message original and about something in their profile?” It’s a long shot but it might help | |||

"I was forced to photo verify, it was photo verify or delete my account! Anybody else experience this?" Yeah I had this, I agree with it though. I think you should have to photo verify within 48 hours of creating your account or it will be deleted and you shouldn't be allowed to contact anyone until you have done it. Not a perfect solution but will filter out some fakes. | |||

Can you do everything a photo verified person can do?"I think so. I think it's either to be photo verified or verify in person for most things. If people have no veris at all then there's things they can't do like post in the forums. Or get meets. | |||

"I don’t necessarily see what the problem is, if you’re new to the site then it’s an easy way of proving that you are who you say. I have yet to find anyone who can tell me how it exactly does that... You send a picture to admin who verify that you’re a man/ woman/ couple according to your profile. I’m sure that there are ways around it if you’re determined but it would cut out 99% of the fakes at the first hurdle It doesn't prove it's the profile owner. They could get a mate to hold the paper. Although to be fair, the type of man that sets up fake female profiles on internet sites has probably never had a female friend in his life!!" | |||

No but making it compulsory may mean that it’s more difficult to know who is genuine (that word is going to haunt me) and might put off those who are still nervous about joining but are... genuine "Agreed .. I think it should be encouraged ( made clear and easy ) but NOT compulsory. | |||

If creepy predator men didn't bombard newbie women with messages when they first join the site they might stay on the site.
If creep predator men didn't create fake women profiles there wouldn't be an issue.
The problem isn't with women not doing photo verification. The problem is men.

Very good point. It must be so intimidating to join up and have 200 messages before even uploading a photo. I’ve spoken with quite a few women who gave up after a couple of days here as it was so bad with being “pounced on”
On another site, they’ve just introduced trigger warnings before every first message. A bit like the ?? “this person is outwith age range” warning on here.
It will say things like “would you be happy for your friends to see the message you’re about to send” or “is this message original and about something in their profile?” It’s a long shot but it might help
That's a good idea. It won't help the really odd men but might help the decent ones. "Yes! Thanks - punches air ! | |||

"I continue to be amazed how much store people place in the Fab verification system instead of using their own common sense and interacting away from the screen. Over the years I've read horror stories from members regarding meeting verified men. The woman who met a verified man at his, everything went well, she took a taxi home only for him to turn up in the early hours with her kids in the house. He'd got her address from the cab company. The woman who arranged to meet in a hotel to turn up to find several men waiting for a gang bang they'd paid to attend...I could go on, but you get the idea. Photo/written verifications mean jack! Interact. How do you make friends outside of Fab? Apply that here and enjoy." | |||

"I was forced to photo verify, it was photo verify or delete my account! Anybody else experience this? Yes, it happened to me as well. " Female friend of mine had to photo verify to enable her account. Took her months to decide whether to or not...... The day she did her PV her inbox had 350+ messages. At that point she had no profile text and no profile pics and little chance to set her filters before the deluge began. | |||

"I assume a large % of ladies who have not photo verified on Fabs are actually fakes. (Weirdos pretending to be women, so they can chat to bi girls & hot guys). Verifications can be faked .. but it's much harder to fake a PHOTO veri. It's easy for nice ladies, who are dipping their toe in to the scene, to photo veri. They may not want to meet on first joining. Fabs has a severe shortage of nice ladies joining (and staying). I am NOT saying it should be compulsory, but ENCOURAGING photo verification would help address that. Put the photo veri button prominent and explain the benefits. I can not see any downside to photo verification can you???
If creepy predator men didn't bombard newbie women with messages when they first join the site they might stay on the site.
If creep predator men didn't create fake women profiles there wouldn't be an issue.
The problem isn't with women not doing photo verification. The problem is men.
Totally agree. I've had female friends who have joined and left within a couple of days due to being bombarded and hounded before having a chance to sort their profiles out and set filters. "Mmm so that's the main problem I guess ... I wonder how to address that? ?Maybe default tight (but changeable) filter-settings suggested on first sign-up? | |||
