"I had a meet arranged for tonight chatted on the fone on sunday and was texting all sunday night then boom nothing txt him today to say that I guess the meet was off still nothing... would he be classed as a time waster or just someone who had cold feet or somthing else cropped up?" He's a coward*, but unless you put your make up on, or cancelled another potential meet, he's probably not a time waster. * Unless he got struck by lightning or something. | |||

" These profiles are still online and the only thing that seamed to have happened is a block of profiles. When reporting a time wasting profile...Is it (for an easy fix) best practice for administration just to just block one another? " 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. So just because you dont know what action Admin have taken when they reviewed your report it doesnt mean to say that no action has been taken. | |||

"What nonsense, a time waster are only those that don't turn up. On the basis that the weeks of corresponding on line to them ie being on Fab you would be doing anyway... Yes you maybe on fab anyway, but equally you may have spent your time and energy talking to someone who actually met with you and did not bail out at the last minute, for no good reason. We all know and except that things can happen in life, but a genuine person would contact the other person/persons asap out of pure decency and not just ignore messages or de-friend or block etc " Spot on...a timewaster is only someone who arranges an exact date and time and location and then does not turn up, or offers a very poor excuse for cancelling last minute | |||

"I've had my fair share of being let down and messaging that has gone nowhere. I'm not one for reporting or naming and shaming. But what is the rule when you do get let down by someone who is deliberately wasting your time and others time. I felt compelled to report a couple of profiles that really wasted my time and people that I arranged to meet with them. These profiles are still online and the only thing that seamed to have happened is a block of profiles. When reporting a time wasting profile...Is it (for an easy fix) best practice for administration just to just block one another? To me it looks like avoidance of the bigger issue of horrid profiles of people who get kicks out of feeling wanted. " For someone who claims to be 'not one for reporting' you seem to report a lot of profiles. Why go back and check on them? And maybe look at your own part in this | |||

"Unless your sat hogging a bench and texting/bookfacing/wotsupping etc............in which case, get off the bench and let someone else use it " Yes or that. I do check my fone and fab between the sets to make the time go quicker there, mind you they can wait for the bench for 5 more min lol. | |||

"In our experience there are very few real time wasters on fab - just people who don't do exactly what you want them to do when you want them to do it. Although they are quickly labelled timewasters in many cases they are simply individuals with agendas that don't match your own." Nonsense... if they engage you and your time and you have exchanged details,ie face pictures and then progressed onto passing on telephone numbers to simplify arranging a place and date of a potential meet (without pressure of play, more social really) then a day or two before, after weeks of converse taking place. They either delete their friendship with you, or/and block without reason. Then surely that must constitute a time waster? Adult activities require adult approaches... the above example is certainly not being mature enough to be open and honest and simply say that they are sorry and have progressed a little too fast into the scene. That is very much accepted by decent people and fully understood. However, it still constitutes a waste of time without such an explanation... | |||

"Thats what I thought. Waste of an overnite babysitter aswel! pratically got kicked out the next morning! Left in a haze of confusion n horniness...is that even a word...lol " Aww that's not nice. There's no excuse of course but perhaps they got cold feet when it came to the realism of being faced with a 3sum. | |||

I have been let down quite a few times and I always put it down to experience and moved on. But when someone ask to arrange for another couple to join and then decide not to show...Well proves very embarrassing. I am not a serial reporter...Just wondered the rule on what happens once reported. Thanks for all the constructive feedback. | |||

"Because people changing their mind doesn't make them a timewaster. No, but people not bothering to tell you that they've changed their mind are." That is our point exactly, however it would appear that some feel that that is ok, the weeks spent talking and arranging dates and exchanging telephone numbers etc seems to be ok | |||

We're all adults and can take it. We'd rather know and arrange something else than be left dangling and not get to meet someone we wanted to | |||

Did them not blocking you a day or 2 before the planned meet not give you a clue that they'd changed their mond? Granted it's a shitty way to tell you but it's pretty clear | |||

I would say that maybe I can make a few bad choices as in arranging meets with non - verified guys and new profiles...Sometimes I may get carried away with being taken in by kind messages and arrangements of a meet. It is I who has fallen victim to some of the dreamers on here. I have been very lucky to have met some great people on fab, so being let down from time to time is just one of those things that happens to us all. | |||

When we got home there was a message telling us one of his mates had called round and he'd had to go out for a drink with him instead. Why do people post on meet today and do that ? Needless to say he got short shrift next time he contacted us. | |||
