"Fab are not doing anything about it though." Why is it their responsibility? We are supposed to be adults. My neighbours just enjoyed Christmas in tier 2 (we are still tier 3, just) then roundly condemned covidiocy - go figure. | |||

"There will always be idiots that break rules but leave them to it they will soon learn ....as long as you are sticking to the rules why does it matter/ bother you." Thousands of people are dying. I think that's good enough justification for being concerned about others breaking the rules. “Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.” – Martin Luther King, Jr. | |||

"Fab are not doing anything about it though." As others have said ... why the hell is it Fab’s fault. They have put measures in place to stop meets being arranged, but when grown adults choose to behave like irresponsible morons and try to meet ... it is their fault! R xx | |||

If that gets disabled until we're at a point where meeting again is safe, then it takes away lines of communication for those wanting to break the rules. Will it stop everyone? No, but it's an additional deterrent. The only way for people to then arrange meets on here is by direct message which is more likely to see them reported by people who don't want to meet. I'm sure most people on here can live without someone on their updates feed telling them how happy they are that their new pics have reached a thousand "Fabs" if it means the number of meets happening drops. | |||

"Fab is a business and has a difficult task in deciding where to draw the line on corporate responsibilities I do, however, feel that they don't go far enough in controlling things To me, put a status up requesting a meet and run the risk of losing both status & messaging capabilities for a month Closer management of IP addresses could go some way to filtering out those that just set up an alternate account All that said, as responsible users, we should also be reporting and blocking accounts that advertise for meets I saw at least 15 meet statuses on the night of the 29th, mostly men, but some women & couples too - all thinking going into T4 meant they couldn't shag and totally missing the point that they shouldn't be shagging randoms right now, regardless of tier " Not really, most isp leave the router off for a few hours or night and get a entire new ip. | |||

"Fab are not doing anything about it though." Shock, horror. Grown adults being expected to take responsibility for themselves. Fab have made it clear where they stand, and what is expected of people. In my opinion. Other opinions are available. | |||

May be a good idea to message fab and mention this to them. I think a number of people have already done this but no idea if they've had a response." No response from Fab Admin as yet. The removal of status updates for all will stop there ability to advertise meets and advertise that they want meets to all the people in their specific geographical area. As said removing the status update will remove the tool they are using. In fact people who are meeting currently have messaged me abuse telling me to stop asking for this as "it will fuck things up for everyone" because they know removal of the feature will really scupper things for them. It would be way more effective than just closing the club review section (clubs are closed anyway) and more effective than closing the forum meet section. You would be shutting off the main tool used to find meets currently. It won't stop all meets but it will make a significant difference at a time when the country is on a knife edge with infection rates. KJ | |||

" Closer management of IP addresses could go some way to filtering out those that just set up an alternate account " IP addresses are not fixed (for most), if your IP address if restricted, you just switch off your router for a little while (or your phone is using phone data) and you'll get a new address when you switch it back on.

My neighbours just enjoyed Christmas in tier 2 (we are still tier 3, just) then roundly condemned covidiocy - go figure. Some people appear unable to act like adults on Fab though so they need a helping hand. Disabling the "status update" function on Fab until things get back to normal (or whatever the new normal will be) would make it harder for people to arrange meets for starters." and make it harder to keep the community together. I use my status to keep in touch with people and offer support x | |||

"Statuses won't do a thing, because people that want to meet will arrange via inbox or adjust their profile info so that it says will meet. The one thing that fab COULD do is close down the site until the finger pointers are happy that they won't have to finger point anymore. But then noone would be happy,especially the finger pointers because they wouldn't be able to finger point on fab forums And people would still meet via fb or twitter or some other site. So yeah " Well said | |||

"Well you have got the politicians breaking the rules what chance have we got. It's pure ignorance not wearing a mask people should read the news about covid and how it's mutating to adapt and spread " the politician references is getting boring, and if anyone mentions dominic cummings again... if you want to mention anyone it's the "influencers" your fearne mccanns, your towies, your mic etc who have gone to dubai/st barts/south africa for "business reasons" | |||

"There will always be idiots that break rules but leave them to it they will soon learn ....as long as you are sticking to the rules why does it matter/ bother you." I guess I’m a little different.. the reason it bothers me is because I was diagnosed with cancer in September. I can’t have the operation I need to remove it because my hospital is full to bursting with covid patients. So in the meantime I’m being pumped with hormones to slow the cancers growth. I’m not yet 50 I’d very much like to stay alive and make it through 2021 .. no doubt if things don’t improve my death could be attributed to covid .. in the fact that it took away the ability for me to have treatment .. but they like you say what matter is it to folks like us ??? | |||

"Fab can't do anything about it and why or how should they, we are adults, ignore or block people who are meeting, and use the forums and messages to connect with those you want to. Everywhere out there people are breaking different laws of the land, just stick with the people who are doing what you feel is appropriate for the time, and don't worry too much about the rest of the world or you will just be facing extra frustration and times are hard enough as it is. Focus on controlling what you can control do the best you can or, hope other people are too but just be responsible for yourself and your actions." Very wise words! X | |||

I am very vocal about speaking out though and challenging people rather than turning a blind eye. There are ways that Fab can help with their community which I don't feel they are doing enough (I know, I know, it's been done to death! ) so that's probably why so many people get pissed off with my posts.

Unfortunately, the same can't be said for being in control of spreading the virus." Not a poor comparison at all.... who says you can break the speed limit and still be in control? Are you exercising your own judgement? Is that ok? The law says the speed limit is a limit.... breaking the law is going beyond that. Do you not think that people can exercise their own judgement as regards infection control in the same way? There will be those who go far above the speed limit with a car in poor condition and increase risk.. there will be those who have physical contact with large numbers of people without exercising any distance/mask etc. What you are looking for is the opportunity to have a COVID rant without question. | |||

You’re the one who kills people thinking that’s ok. The 70 limit reduces the potential impact due to an unforeseen circumstance likely giving more time to react, reduced stopping distance,etc. | |||
