FabSwingers.com forum: Self Verified

Just wondered how this doesn't get picked up.

A Guy messaged earlier today and gave general compliments. Had a look at his profile before responding to his message. Noticed he had a verification (only one) and it was from an identical profile, both had the same pictures, exactly the same wording and exactly the same user name.

Is there nothing to stop someone creating 2 profiles and verifying themselves.

Reported it to admin.

Hmmm.

I didnt think unverified accounts could give verifications

Shady behaviour though

If you look at a preview of your own profile - the option to verify is open. Maybe that's how he did it? As you can add yourself to your friends list and hotlist, maybe one can verify himself too?

There is a slight flaw in the system.

As you have found out it’s not hard to expose it.

Total sham, must be 1000’s on here that have self verified and then hidden the verification and got themselves a tick and just displayed a summary.

This guy, didn’t have the brains to hide it though.

I always find it suspiscious when someone is only verified by hidden profiles. I know that people do hide their profiles and it could just be a coincidence - I just personally am a bit put off by it, especially when they have 3 veris by 3 hidden profiles.

Even if you can self verify, it still checks if you're eligible to verify, i.e. has someone else has already verified you.

Obviously doesn't stop people having multiple profiles and verifying themselves if they can get a verification from someone else on one of them, but I'm pretty sure you still need that proper verification to kickstart things!

Not really, you can Cam verify from your sofa or actually get involved in the swinging community and go to a club or social, meet someone on here for a coffee maybe.

Too many people complain that getting a veri is difficult but it’s just an excuse, you only get out of Fab and the swinging lifestyle what you put in.

If only have one and from a guy (to another guy), always treat with caution.

Is everyone saying this is possible already verified? I agree it shouldn't be possible but unless I'm missing something you still need to be verified to verify yourself. I wouldn't do it myself, as I'm not dishonest, but out of interest I looked and it stops me x

O o O oo

If you report the profile Admin will take a look. Normally you are blocked from being able to verify yourself
