I think fab should make photo verification compulsory for everyone on the site and those wishing to join . It would sort out a lot of the fake couples and stop people using fake pictures.What's others opinion

No it wouldn't. People still upload fake pics. They don't have to show there face for photo verified pics so can still abuse it.

All it does is prove that you are the sex you signed up as. You don't need to show your face, and no other pics are ever compared against it.

So it doesn't prove if you are timewasters or using fake pics, it just proves that you *are a woman* or for a couple, that there are 2 people, and one is male and one is female. Don't see the point really in photo-verifying as a man - Don't think anyone would need to pretend to be a single guy!

Ok, recently a 40 year old photo verified guy contacted me. He was actually 17. He has contacted various members of the site.

He's also been banned various times but comes back with another, photo verified profile.

We are not photo verified but have a few meeting verifications. Does that scupper the theory?

Why? Life can be dangerous, take some responsibility for yourself

Oh and all the other threads about this are full of suggestions why it wouldn't work anyway.

Obviously you can't beat verification from other genuine couples and singles but it would be a starring point

I haven't been photo verified. I post up pics, they're all me and obviously all me. I have verifications. And if we're getting to the point where there could be a meet I'm happy to have a conversation over the phone or provide random pics to reassure anyone.

I don't think photo verification is as good as any of those things.

You didn't have to do anything and it doesn't have to include your face, nude body is acceptable as well I believe.

Don't understand why you don't have to show a face in your photo verify pic. Unless I've missed something, it seems a bit pointless to me otherwise.

A great way to show you're genuine.

1: Write "FabSwingers.com" and your username "Kinky-Minx" on a piece of paper.

Gut instinct and common sense seems to work for me. Both photo verification and meet veris can be faked.

Even if someone is photo verified it doesn't mean they don't then use fake photos and hide the one they used for the veri. If you show your face in the photo it doesn't mean you can't use fake body pics and vice versa.

There's a couples account that I saw yesterday who have pics up of different fems with the man, clearly only one is the F of the account, but they were approved as it was a couple in the pic and Fab can't be sure who the actual partner is

I'm not photo verified and as far as I'm concerned not fake. I have never got round to doing it.I run my profile how I want and if people are so bothered by a photo verification than filters are good.

Your 8 step programme;

Go to the forum search function.

Search "fake".

Count the number of threads.

Read the threads and count the number of people commenting.

Realise the futility of your idea.

Reset your filters.

Use common sense.

Be happy.

The end.

Not been photo verified and been on here a couple of years. No need to do it either as have plenty of verifications. We are not fake and simply prove it by skyping before a meet...simple!

It's why I put a question mark at the end to make sure the reader realised it was, in fact, a question. That also logically suggests an answer....

I don't understand how being photo verified would stop 'fakes'. All they will do is nick a pic off the internet.

To be honest the only way your going to know if someone is real or not is go with your gut or meet them yourself. As you get idiot's giving out fake Veris just to help someone out and it always seems to be the same women that do it or as you say they have fake picture's, but why are the fake picture's getting through the moderators need to tighten their belts on that.

You can hardly blame the Mods!

Surely it is all down to your own personal process of elimination and using filters to minimise the likelihood of coming across a fake?

I'm surprised you didn't generalise it and say ban single men too!

I'm not nor do I ever intend to be photo verified

I think an upload of pics followed by a visual Skype verification might install more confidence.

Having said that, after a few weeks you learn to spot the fakes and a quick call on FaceTime or the chat option here on Fab can easily prove that a person's identity here matches the person you are speaking to.

" I've Heard some folk have had their pictures rejected for less yet the mod's can't do a check like us to see if a picture is fake or not ??? "

There's something like 10,000 pictures uploaded every day, and each one has to be approved by a picture-mod. The picture-mods are unpaid volunteers with real lives as well. I'm sure they do reverse image search some of the pictures, but to reverse image search all of them would require a lot of time, and a 'commercial' subscription to a reverse image search. If anyone is worried that they are being taken in by a so-called 'fake', just insist on seeing them on cam, before arranging a meet. People need to take some responsibility for choosing who to meet, not rely on the site, the moderators or the verification system. These are only PART of the process of deciding who to meet.

Works well for me, and in 4 years on this and other sites, I have never had a problem with a fake or timewaster.

Well ain't you a lucky one, I've been on here for nearly 8 year and probably like most on here I've came across a fair few fakes or timewasters. But for the fake picture's they do need to crack down on it more.

No, that's exactly my point. I'm not 'lucky', I just take responsibility for my own decisions. I use the tools which the site gives us all, and I have my own additional criteria for deciding who to meet. I make good decisions. "Luck" doesn't come into it.
