FabSwingers.com forum: Reporting users

Hi, just looking for some advice about reporting a profile on here. I know that the images and videos posted on the profile are fake, the user has admitted as much to me. They're downloaded from the internet and then edited. That doesn't really bother me but what does bother me is that on checking the profile out, there are images on there of mutual friends that I know 100% have not given permission for the images to be used. Their faces have been blurred but they were instantly recognisable to me so I'm guessing they'd be instantly recognisable to other friends too if they were to come across the profile. I have told them several times that they should take them off but they remain on there weeks later. Would you report this? And if I was to report it, would I remain anonymous? They don't know I'm on this website btw, they've just openly shown me their profile on their phone.

Yes most definitely needs to be reported. They won't know that you have reported them but don't tick the fake profile when you do or you will generate an automated profile block.

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.******
