I don’t come in here ever but I’m asking y’all

As I think you’d ALL agree that with the absolute crazy amounts of fake accounts on here never mind the pic collectors and the time wasters has gone crazy you can’t deny it !!! Is it not time for fab to charge a flat rate to joint site ???

Now it won’t get rid of all the wasters but it will the majority as they ain’t going to pay say £10 joining fee then the £5 a month to be a time waster or an account that’s no longer on site a day after they join as this sites attracted that stuff , abyways opinions?

Strongly agree & something needs to done to deter fake accounts on here.

Perhaps paid membership should be mandatory for anyone to send messages or winks, might be a good idea for everyone to be photo verified too.

Agree. I don’t think any of us would begrudge £5 a month, per account to out the detritus.

Yeah I do agree. Perhaps the payment should include the ability to look at others pictures. What I mean is if you don't have a membership you only see the cutout image to determine if they are male, female or a couple. Also with all the people that already have a membership you would have thought the owners would have had a revamp by now anyways.

He’s not at all stupid, it’s easy to avoid the fakes if you just engage your brain. Granted a newbie may be caught out, but using the tools the site gives you , a little caution and thought, and there’s no need to get caught out.

Been on and off here 14 years,not photo veried and always paid site support until about 8 months ago due to the site going down hill. Think £5 won't make much difference tbh.

Don't the site will ever be back how it was,wales chat used to be bumping until a certain person killed it. Admin need to do something, you report pics with kids in,dogs in....abusers,fakes, nothing gets done. I await my warning from admin and my ban on the forums.

It'll also stop genuine people joining. You don't get anything from the site other than a place to arrange meets and the forum, people aren't gonna pay £10 to join.

And I wouldn't be staying if I had to pay £5 a month and I'm sure there are many others who wouldn't want to either

Not wanting to pay doesn't make someone not "genuine" and paying doesn't automatically mean someone is "genuine" either.

In my experience the site supporter fee has never turned off those really weird people who stalk & make derogatory comments, I've known them rejoin & pay several times a day just to get through filters. If they're into causing misery or they like to troll the site they'll do it whatever. Although it might cut down on those with multiple stalking profiles, those people already know who they are

" cocky just makes you look stupid to the wider audience … "

Just some feedback for you. Someone gave their opinion and you called them stupid. Your response reeks of cocky.

As you are knowledgeable about the workings of the site, you already know you can avoid non registered profiles, put your filters on the narrowest of margins and avoid most chancers and fakes.

Chancers and fakes may also be prepared to pay to join a site where a lot of users are no longer looking for chancers and fakes as they think the pay wall has done the filtering for them.

Yours non cockily,

Mandatory fees can be a huge deterrent, even for genuine users. Optional however give people the choice.

If you want fab to change, charges aren’t the answer. Things such as ID verification (drivers license, passport etc) which come accompanied by a profile marker similar to the verified tick.

I understand that a lot of people don’t associate their real names with fab and have their fab personas. But it would help

Totally agree with you

Imagine being a grown man and coming onto a site like this to call people cocky and stupid for a reply that was neither

I think fab needs a few serious updates including how to stop These fake accounts 100% think photo verified should be mandatory before being able to use the site

Ive been on here since before they started doing the Cardiff socials in the Great Western. Do I get a gold badge now

Never been photo verified as how does holding a piece of paper with your Fab name on it make you genuine.

Rodney may be new to swinging but he made an effort, went to clubs and socials and I happily now call him a friend. Shame more single guys dont take a leaf out of his book

He's a great lad, he really does come under a genuine single guy.

Very respectful never pushes for anymore than your willing to give and never expects anything but a good laugh

Whatever happens after is a bonus for all included

Me either, in fact its complete common sense. If you think most new (recurring) profiles are fake then block them. There's also an option to block unverified, no public photos and non site supporters. Fail to see the cockiness to be honest.

There's a joker in every pack! They are going to be around whatever happens. Personally I can never quite work out what they get out of it other than the odd photos to wank over. When I say that I don't send face photos until after a phone call these days, with the lady included in the call, they are history before they even became news.
