Fab filter loophole

I have my filters set, so i cant be messaged if the profile has no public pictures (i don't care if its a penis or an ankle or an obscure body shot) but yet still I'm receiving first time messages from gents with friends only photos. How is this happening?

(Yes i know, ignore them, delete the messages, block them, its part of fab, ppl are entitled to anonymity etc etc etc)

Oh I have that too. I assumed I had set my filter wrong.

They might be setting a picture to public just to message you, then making it friends only again.

If you do a search and tick the "must have public photos" box, it currently brings back people including those with just friends photos, so I guess that's linked. I think there's a bug in fab...

Determined and sneaky little monsters. I don't like it and wish they’d stop! Certainly annoying

I believe that the avatar is classed as a public picture, but it could also be that they've had a public pic at one time.

When I browse on this site I usually click to filter out those without public photos but profiles still pop up with friends only photos and sometimes no photos. It must be a bug.

I don't know about a bug,as it's been like it for many years,I just don't think that filter has ever worked

They are most likely making a picture public to message then removing it again after. My filters are on lockdown and I used to get it all the time.

This as long as they have one public pic, doesn't need to be a profile pic, they can message you. Very annoying I agree but until it changes....Miss C Xx

I find this too ..A bit frustrating when you want to search and have it set to filter the ones with no public pictures

Ours is that we’ve blocked single guys, yet they can still see and fab our profile/pics

Blocking a complete gender would suit us but the powers that be won't allow it as it would seriously affect there revenue stream and click count.
