No public pics

Do you think it’s reasonable to block to reduce messages from fakes ?

I know some people do it for what they think are valid reasons but surely everyone can make an effort to put something public to communicate something about themselves ?

Will this likely just block more messages from valid than fake accounts ?

Having a public picture doesn't mean you're not a fake.

I know that’s why I’m asking what people think , does it more likely mean fake than not ?

It's a flawed filter because someone can set a picture to be public, send the message, then hide it again. It's why I gave up on using it.

Fakes have photos too you know some have even said having photos up than not is more likley to be fake.

Best advice if you are unsure about a profile block or report or both.

Best advice is to use your instincts and verify. If a picture looks too good to be true, reverse search it. Have conversations to come at the truth of things. Fact check in your own way.

There's rarely any single thing where X is real and not X is fake

I don't see the point in having a profile if you don't have pictures on, I just ignore the ones without anyway. How are people supposed to know if they are attracted and possibly a match if there is nothing on there.

This is what we think, you only get out what you put in ,no effort means no reply

It's your profile, run it how it suits you OP, don't worry about anyone else.

I don't show my face due to my job but I make sure I've got public pics as people need to see something.

How will we know if there's any attraction with nothing to go on?

Well we are perfectly genuine and verified but we are not meeting so chose to take the pics down. But we do make it clear we're not meeting.

So it would take out people like us.

I don't think innocent members should suffer to cure the menace that can just as easily be cured by "ignore, delete, block".

If only...

Seems a lot of people spend an inordinate amount of time worrying about how other members use the site.

I don’t see the point of having a profile if you don’t have at least 1 public photo so I just pass by profiles that don’t have public photos or don’t have much information in the profile.

The no public photos filter is pointless as someone could set a photo as public, send a message then hide the pic again.

I know, their time would be better spent in using the site how they want to instead of moaning about everyone else's use if it lol. Live and let live.

We are just careful about our public pictures but think its fair to somehow present ourselves

So pics are-

The results of doing something inventive with hot wax

Us playing in a dungeon

Us having fun with fire

Us in fancy dress

It is totally possible to have at least one public pic that shows what you are like as a person or couple...
