"You can show bad veris. Can you?? Same way as you show good ones " This. I have 2 bad veris myself which would be normally on show. One says I'm a shit shag. Who cares? It's a measure of my reality not a measure of how good at sex I am. | |||

"Never had a bad veri do people really write them, seems a bit heartless to me, why would someone slag someone off they've had sex with? I just don't get it. Maybe I've just been lucky......or careful, I've only ever met nice women. Just proves to me, the way I'm playing the game is right for me." I agree, why would you go out of your way to be nasty? I think that says more about the person writing it than the person receiving it. If you have nothing nice to say then say nothing at all. | |||

After all, a bad veri will never get displayed so why would anyone ever write one? | |||

"Might be good for sussing out time wasters or rude/abusive people.." Very much so, the site is far too lenient on such fools. | |||

"Might be good for sussing out the bitter twisted folks. Leaving a negative veri says more about the person leaving it than the person on the receiving end. After all, it takes 2 people to make a good meet, and there are already ways to report a no show." It may get reported bug folks never get to see it, it's like saying the person reporting a crime is worse than the perpetrator. | |||

"Admin should maybe allow 1 or 2 bad verifications to be displayed on people's profiles. All veris are good because we have option to display them or not. Personally I think they can be biased/misleading as well as helpful. I know it would affect many people's meets but maybe just 1 bad veri, just to show we're human Just an idea by the way" And a good one | |||

"This would work fine if the recipient had no choice whether to have it displayed, but then the floodgates would be opened to all manner of abusive comments and false verifications." Yes they should be displayed by default The bad verifications would have to be backed up by evidence obtained from a message history etc They could be informative without being abusive or insulting by simple means if moderation. | |||

"Should be like eBay It would show up the time wasters, the impolite and the abusive etc If fab has evidence via a record of messages that the bad feedback is correct it should be displayed automatically; it would improve the site greatly for genuine folks and deter the nuisances." | |||

"why would someone slag someone off they've had sex with?" I might not necessarily have had sex with them though. What happens if we have a social meet and they turn up sweaty and wearing dirty clothes? Or they behave inappropriately? Or they turn out to be completely bonkers? I've had bad meets and so haven't verified the guy. Just because I don't get on with them, doesn't mean they're bad people. But sometimes you do meet some people who really shouldn't be on Fab. | |||

So if someone meets you, you all have a miserable time, and they send you a message detailing that they miserable time, and write you a verification detailing the same, that constitutes proof? Can't see that being open to abuse at all. It's a terrible idea, for obvious reasons. Amazing that people are even giving it the time of day. | |||

Because some people have no common sense and they need other people to baby sit them. | |||

I don't get what the 'evidence' from message history would be though?! I've got on really well with people on here via messaging, arrange to meet because I liked what I saw and then it's a big No because there's either no chemisty or they weren't how I thought they'd be in reality. If that's the case I don't veri people, no need to leave a bad one. | |||

I'm glad it's not just me that can see this is not a good idea and could not work in practice...proving the authenticity of the verification is the first major hurdle | |||

All you have to do to get around this is delete your account and open a new one. | |||

"What a daft idea when the 'quality' of a meet is entirely subjective. One person's bad is anothers good. I had one meet with a now ex fab member and she made it her business to slate me on the forums, private messaging folk about me trying to cause me trouble etc do damn straight she'd have made it her business to leave me a horrible veri. Yet it was the only meet I had where we ended up not getting on and I guarantee that folk would take note of the one bad one over the dozen or more good ones. No, piss poor idea. " Not really anything to do with how the sex etc goes More to do with if folks actually are what they say that are and if they turn up as promised etc | |||

"Surely a veri is to say the person is who they say they are and genuine, not a character reference or sexual performance review??! Some seem so graphic they put me off but maybe that's just me. I prefer to make my own mind up about a person, not go by what a complete stranger has said. Also, as I mentioned earlier, what's to stop someone bitter who you politely turned down sending a made up veri slating you? If its automatically displayed its there for all to see until admin remove it. " Agree with the first bit. The second observation/question is answered in previous posts. | |||

"Similar to some of the other threads - When I joined the site & read the destruction's etc etc; I thought 'Verifications' were to just verify someone was a genuine person, to save wasting time on some clown who had no intentions of ever meeting I think the problem with giving someone 'Bad Press' is that it may be down to just that odd occasion & not just in general. If someone isn't genuine, then maybe they should be named & shamed to save people wasting time" Nail hit soundly in the head and the whole point if the issue, well put. | |||

"I think the problem with automatically showing bad veri's is that it leaves people very open to abuse. I have had a bad veri from a guy I met once and didn't want to meet again which he reacted badly to. He went on to leave me the most vile and hateful verification I've ever read. NowI've a very thick skin and am fully aware I'm not everyone's cup of tea but have enough friends I see regularly to know I'm not all bad. Had that veri been automatically shown I would have been horrified and very likely left the site so no I disagree with the OP's statement" Completely agree, it just takes not getting on with one person and they could make you out to be awful on a veri you'd have to show. It's properly stupid. What if you didn't get on and they decided to put you didn't turn up/timewaster etc? How would admin police what was the truth and what went up and what didn't?... The idea is leakier than a collander. No, there are folk on here who can be bitter...they'd find a way to use the idea to cause negativity. | |||

"There's a difference between displaying a shit veri that's said in jest (you know you both had a good time) and one that's said without. If I was a crap meet for whatever reason ~ I'd rather the person tell me to my face then leave a veri telling everyone!" A very classy answer. Me and Diamondsmiles left each other amusingly bad verifications. Why? Cos we could, cos it was funny, cos we both have enough (38 for me) to prove we are real and to create a little joie de vivre in da forums. I'm actually pretty ok-ish. I mean excellent. Adequate in a superb sense, I'd say. Better than a wank. Definately. | |||

"Even some "positive" verifications may not be what someone wants on their profile. I would rather receive no verifications at all, rather than be forced to display them. My verifications are personal, like photos, and I certainly don't display personal photos. " Totally agree. I've had this discussion a few times now, it's quite a contentious issue. Who would post a bad veri? | |||

"I appreciate it's not for everyone, each to their own. Like most people I wouldn't leave a veri if the sex wasn't great or we didn't get on, but if they made me drive miles then pull out last minute then I would, for time wasting of course. What if you met a complete psycho, would you not wanna warn others? " If everyone was completely honest yes, but how would admin police who was being honest about no shows and nutters and who was leaving bad veris for spite? They would only have one person's word against another's...totally un policeable, that's the problem....it would be prone to misuse. | |||
