FabSwingers.com forum: Is Fab Fabtastic or Not Fabtastic??

By (user no longer on site) OP

If you where in total control of Fab for a week and had complete freedom to change how it works and operates what would you change or improve about it, or do you think it's fine as it is?

We all know about time wasters and ppl setting up numerous accounts are a pain so how would you set about sorting it out? Ban IP addresses is my answer but any other suggestions, who knows maybe admin might act upon any ideas we suggest. Cheers.

Hit the reset button on forum posters, lots banned from the forum over silly arguements they've been berated into by members leaving the site. Forum mods should be known, lots on here have more power than we know and they use it to their own advantage

Banning IP addresses won't work but other methods would rule out those with multiple accounts (some with various types too which is a clear sign of fakes/trouble makers)

Accounts not logged into in over a year should be automatically disabled and hidden from all search etc

Oh and way too many people on this site get away with bullying due to the sites rules on "no shaming policy" and will always continue with playground antics even when they are the only ones standing in the playground.

The option to 'like' people's meets is there but apparently they can't see it.

If I was interested in someone's meet request or someone was interested in mine being then visibility of that would be good.

Couple of things

1. Change the way We look at our recent forum post so we can look at everything we have posted from the last to the first. Just now it shows the most recently updated post first.

2. If you have a couples profile I would like to be able to log in individually I.e I could log in as wade and her Vanessa. That way people know who you're taking to and who is posting without having to remember to sign your name at the end

Ban multiple profiles

There must be a way to find them out.

Just folk shit stirring with them!

If your banned from the forum you should see who banned you and you should have a chance to explain why you should or shouldn't be and if not then the ban gets dropped.

Then I would like to see if your on someone's hotlist

Good ideas in your other post John but this post, i think naming and shaming is open to abuse by false accusations ect. You know the saying , mud sticks , even when not true. That said , any sort of bullying or nasty messages to an individual should be treated more harshly by admin. Any kind of abuse by personal message should result in an instant closure of account. No second chances . Anyone found setting up multiple fake accounts should have their main "real" acct banned. The problem with these ideas is the site has no incentive to do this. Its a business at the end of the day and stopping people using the site is not what they want. The more fake profiles the busier it makes the site look and also good for posting things like 34,000 online now etc.

I agree with the ban idea but I reckon that it won't change as most of the times I think it's admin who give you a "time out" hate that expression lol but it would be good to see who if any has you on your hotlist.

I think a lot of people who add someone on their hotlist, don't just use it cause they want to meet them. They may want to keep it discrete that they are interested in what they say, what they are up too etc..

Personally, I think what would be kl is that you get a notification message saying "someone has added you to their hotlist" but you cant see who it is or where they are from.

I'd have if you blocked someone you had to tick a box as to why.

Categories could include :

You were an arsehole in the first message.

You were a fanny for messaging multiple times.

I didn't want to see your cock, kebab, watermelons.

You are not what we are looking for.

Next time read the fucking profile and you might have still been able to perve my amazing pics in stealth.

Feel free to add more.

When sending pics you should be marking what it is, same as when you put one on your profile. Folks who send pics and it's not as advertised get reported from the receiver and its a warning, then its banned from sending pics then just a straight ban. 3 and out.

I forgot it’s a seven day wait to get access to forums as a new member, think it’s less time if you get verified and pic verified, seems a bit upside down.

So many get bother from random “joined 5minutes ago” members via messages, just a thought, as I say seems upside down, new members can make themselves familiar to members via forums only for a week before they can access messages?

That way they can either choose to join in and kind of prove they have genuine interest/intentions to stick around, or of course opt to say nowt for a week until gain full access to messages etc.

Far too easy for folk to click on and instantly message, I get that not all are wind up merchants or bad generally, some are though, as I say if all intentions are good, maybe not as long as a week, but certainly not instant access? Just an idea.

Hidden profiles to be blocked from winking, messaging adding meets etc...

If you block someone the block carries into the forum and you cant see their posts and viceversa..

Currently if someone messages someone after getting no reply they get a wee warning to say the person did not reply and thats it... serial offenders get a messaging time out after another attempt after say 2-3 unanswered messages...
