FabSwingers.com forum: What's the point in reporting profiles!

As the title asks, what's the point as it seems a pointless exercise! How else are we meant to deal with someone on here is persistant to the point of being a site stalker?

The first few times they've mailed i've gave a polite thanks but no thanks reply, they mail more times and i ignore, they mail again and i block, they create a new profile and mail me and i block, they create a new profile and mail and i block and report...the cycle of creating a profile, mailing, block and reporting continues to the extent that i've both blocked and reported this person at least twelve times, a few more just blocking before i started reporting them also-but they just keep coming back!

I've asked when reporting if they can IP ban to stop people from doing this constant new profile crap but either fab are unable or unwilling to IP ban people.

I'm not aloud to name and shame but it makes me wonder how many other people are constantly pestered by this person or another and fab dont or cant seem to do anything to stop it when you report them!

Same name, same age, same area, same picture...only the username differs slightly with a number added or something so there's no doubt that it's the same person all the time.

I reported 2 profiles as being the same person, he even has the same face pic as his AV, yet both profiles are still here so I'd guess no, Fab don't really care.

I mod a sports forum and know how easy it can be to ban IP addresses so I have no idea why Fab won't do so.

I thought it should be easy enough for fab to IP ban someone, when someone's being so persistant and creepy you'd think fab would act after so many reports about them! x

Multiple profiles used for devilment are not allowed so I would keep reporting.

In the meantime don't forget to use your message filters to block newbies from mailing you.

Here is an explanation from Admin from another thread on how they deal with reports.

******Just a quick note. If people report others and we can verify that they have broken site rules, we always take action (either a first and final warning, partially suspended account, fully suspended, mixture of the above).

Every single report sent via the REPORT link is reviewed. Clearly it's not in our interests to have people on here who are bad for the site. Equally we need to verify what has been reported and be fair to those who have been reported.

Admin

PS. we never provide feedback on what has happened. It's just not practical given that we get 100s of reports a day.

Here is what the page says after a report has been submitted:

Your feedback has been saved.

A website admin will shortly review your feedback and take the necessary action. After reviewing the evidence available to us, we may disable an account, remove a user, disable certain aspects of that user's account or issue a warning.

By leaving feedback you help improve the site for everyone who uses it. Thank you.******

Totally agree, theres one on here who literally deletes and joins with a new profile same(ish) name, same pics same profile every week....

rant away....seems perfectly valid reason for a rant....if it was me in your position I'd most likely throw in a hissy fit too, so there!

I'm also a member of another site which uses IP addresses to verify the User has not previously been banned, caused offence, harassed or tried to have multiple accounts. Some still do find a way around this, but generally it really does cut down on unwanted pic collectors, fake profiles & offenders. It's Moderated too so even if a User leaves if their own free will they need to access a link & request they be reinstated. I do wish Fab would consider this system. They are losing good customers & members for the sake of these non-paying free accounts where there can be multiple usernames.

With respect, although it is annoying to get mail from the same person, according to your first post the mail isn't against rules....ie abusive etc?

No it's not abusive but when you have to tell them in no uncertain terms on numerous occasions that you're not interested, you'll never meet them, tell them not to message again, tell them that they're blocked again for the upteemth time and they come back with a new profile and message again etc...it may not be abusive but it's certainly harrassive and creepy (in my opinion and how it's making me feel anyway).

The block button is your best option for mails you don't want.

The report button for anyone you think has multiple profiles to use to get round blocks.

As i've said i'm into the double figures of blocking and reporting this one person, it doesn't do any good though as they just create a new profile and mail again!

I had the same problem which went on for 10 months! He was abusive and reported but nothing changed. I ended up deleting my profile, changing profile name age, body type, location etc within 2 days he mailed me! He didnt know it was me though but he sent the same abuse.....i did change my filter to ban newbies which to date has worked but its ridiculous that someone would go on like that in the first place

This is exactly why it is better to have a paid site. Folk who were banned would spend a small fortue rejoining

Set the message filter to accept messages from site supporters only then. Does exactly that.

Not every time he rejoins he's a site supporter but, like this time around and some other times, is one so that wouldn't help.

And whats to stop them paying a fiver to become a site supporter to continue the harrassment? Best thing to do is filter out msges from newbies, that will stop the msges until they at least get verified.

It's just a shame that the mindless minority have to behave like this. A female friend showed me some of the nasty mail she receives on a regular basis and to say I was gobsmacked is an understatement.

Why? I was naive enough to pay a lot more than a fiver on a different site, but, it certainly didn't stop the morons and fakes from joining as well!

Ok this is getting unfair now as you are talking about other members and it is only one side of the story.

The best thing to do is report and let Admin deal with it.

If you think Admin have missed something report again, if there is evidence Admin always do something.
