"Due to increasing number of fantasists who no show without a cancellation message, what can be done? What about a deposit paid to a holding facility (fab), only returned if cancelled up to a certain amount of hours before scheduled meet. Or at least a method of checking a register of persistent no shows. It can't be a one off that they don't show. I had to turn down a few takers for our party because we had enough confirmed attendees until the meet arrived, no show, no message, no excuse. I'm not saying they need a sick note but at least a message saying they can't make it. If we had a club here, fab would be redundant. Anyone any other ideas." That's the most ridiculous idea I have ever read on the forum in my 9 years on Fab. People are allowed to change their minds and not want to have sex with other people if they want to... You are lowering fun sex into a pimp type arrangement with that suggestion. How about you stop expecting people to drop their knickers or pants and provide you with sex | |||

These are from meet verified, phone numbers exchanged and confirmation of attendance the day before. This is all on the back of multiple messages. Aha, the old don't invite strangers nugget of advice from some. So everyone you meet you know? As I said, we've no clubs here, so everyone is a stranger, if it's your first time meeting. Any better ideas? | |||

"Once sex becomes a transaction, people might as well go to a different kind of service. If you want a guarantee I suggest you connect with people in the real world and don't put all your faith into strangers. " And this real world you talk about, is where? People meet strangers every day on fab, it's why they have a 'meets' section! So, in this real world, how does it work? Clubs only, not practical for us. Meet verified ?? Have talked on phone ?? Conformation of attending the day before, when they are asking for address details ?? If one of your friends asked you to a vanilla party, I'd bet you'd let them know if you couldn't make it. No one has en expectation of sex at a meet, that is a given on fab. It's common curtesy, manners, decency to inform non attendance but obviously you think that's fine. Says a lot. | |||

It's just people, if only they'd let you know a few hours in advance, or even just let you know last minute if they got cold feet it's better than nothing. I feel you pain | |||

You are lowering fun sex into a pimp type arrangement with that suggestion. How about you stop expecting people to drop their knickers or pants and provide you with sex " This is both a bad idea and a good idea in some form. Very unlikely Fab would get involved and feels very strange for one on one meets. Sadly no shows will happen and people will change minds. Just got to do your best to minimise the chances using veris etc. However, if you dimisss it out of hand probably never arranged a party or event especially one with a numbers limit. Last minute no shows really can screw things up and very common for people to pay to attend to help cover costs. Fab won't get involved but no reason why you can't do this yourself if arranging something. We've arranged and charged before - funny how attitudes change when it comes time to send the money. Some immediate and some faff around and becomes clear not serious. We don't want to arrange events with a fee now as too much pressure and expectation but might ask for a deposit via Paypal to confirm attendance and promise to give it back if they attend. This would be no guarantee of course but would eliminate the complete dreamers and if people really have a genuine reason and communicate early enough then can give them back the money even if they can't make it. | |||

"This is the most insane suggestion I’ve ever read on here. What happens if an hour before your meet they get an aura of a migraine coming on (chronic sufferer here!)? Or their childminder texts to say their child is unwell? Or they get called into work on an emergency? Or… craziest of all… they simply get cold feet or change their mind? People are allowed to cancel or no show for any reason at all and while I appreciate the frustration, I don’t think holding deposits hostage to try and FORCE people to attend a meet they might have otherwise bailed on is the right approach. And the “common courtesy” line that gets rolled out here again and again… this is not every day life and communication, different rules and social etiquettes apply here. You might not like it but it is what it is. " I injured myself and landed in hospital for nearly two weeks, the day before my first ever meet. Of course I was widely accused of being a fake. (Anyone I'd been talking to who responded with anything other than hostility, got photographic evidence. So there's that) | |||

"I think common courtesy and respect for other people's time is important but then shit does happen. I myself would feel weird paying a deposit for a meet I think. I can understand why where maybe a gangbang or other event was organised which in turn creates cost, for a normal one on one meet that wouldn't be for me. I don't know really if there is a solution people will drop out for all sorts of reasons. " I absolutely split costs with people I know and trust. With people I don't? I just make it lower cost/stakes | |||

"I think this suggestion will actually have the opposite effect of it's intention and simply kill meets stone dead. I can certainly understand tge frustration and I've certainly had my share of no-shows in the past, but if the site required a payment that would not be returned if you were unable to attend a meet due to unforseen circumstances and beyond our control, I'm pretty sure nobody would make arrangements to meet anyone. Or, they'd simply take communication of site - as it seems an increasing number do anyway. " Everyone is missing my point. Money would be returned if they send a message cancelling. A simple, sorry can't make it is alls that's required. Nobody is going to gain anything except you wouldn't be sitting around, all dolled up for sweet fa. | |||

FAB certainly won’t do it. Suspect you’d need some sort of license to hold third party funds. Total non starter of an idea I’m afraid. | |||

"We had a meet planned once with a man who didn't turn up at the pub we were meeting at. We read in the local paper a few weeks later of a young man who had had a Motorcycle accident and was lucky to be alive and realised it was him from the picture, turned out it was the same day we were meant to be meeting him. If this was in place he not only would have had lots of broken bones but would have lost his fiver too !! " Poor guy, some would've called him a time waster because he couldn't let you know, and to be fair he was probably not in the right mindset for a while to be thinking of a meet when he nearly died. Was it in the days of the internet as you mentioned the local paper. | |||

Nobody is going to gain anything except you wouldn't be sitting around, all dolled up for sweet fa." It’s not that people are missing your point, they disagree with it. What’s the cut off time by which people are allowed to cancel before their pockets get hurt? You say it’s to avoid getting dolled up for nothing - what about if it takes someone 4 hours to get ready but another person only 1 hour? The same person could cancel 1 hour before the meet but it would affect those two people very differently. There is no universal way to do this that makes sense. Plus, would it really make you feel that much better to instead have people actively cancelling? I get that it’s the lack of notice that you are upset about, but to be frank the real crux of the issue is the disappointment from thinking you were in for a fun evening and now you’re not. Being actively notified of the cancellation isn’t going to alleviate that. Before long there would be a follow up thread on what we should do with about the people who cancel even per policy. I would echo what someone else said above which is that if no shows are bothering you so much that you would like to see people financially punished, maybe it’s time to take a break and reassess things. | |||

Arranging to meet someone is not a binding contract. It's a choice and either party should have the choice to change their minds at any time. Paying is a whole different thing. | |||

"Do both people pay? Or just the person who was asked? I wouldn't meet anyone if money was on the line. I don't even meet people if they want to book a hotel or travel far for the costs. It would deter so many people wanting to meet and would ruin the point of the meet." This, and also, who defines who turned up. Let's say both parties turn up, but one party, the next morning decides "no, they didnt" who decides whose telling the truth? I see the idea, to try to solve a problem, and I'll be honest, I don't know what the solution is, but this is not it. | |||

Just to say again OP think it is good idea for parties/group events and not far off what happens in many cases. You just need to arrange it yourself. Just paid a deposit on a party myself this morning. It doesn't guarantee anything of course but does get rid of the complete time wasters. I think a lot of people replying here are in the mindset of one one meets for which I think it is not a good idea but for groups yep bring it on. | |||

"Due to increasing number of fantasists who no show without a cancellation message, what can be done? What about a deposit paid to a holding facility (fab), only returned if cancelled up to a certain amount of hours before scheduled meet. Or at least a method of checking a register of persistent no shows. It can't be a one off that they don't show. I had to turn down a few takers for our party because we had enough confirmed attendees until the meet arrived, no show, no message, no excuse. I'm not saying they need a sick note but at least a message saying they can't make it. If we had a club here, fab would be redundant. Anyone any other ideas. That's the most ridiculous idea I have ever read on the forum in my 9 years on Fab. People are allowed to change their minds and not want to have sex with other people if they want to... You are lowering fun sex into a pimp type arrangement with that suggestion. How about you stop expecting people to drop their knickers or pants and provide you with sex So, you've never seen gangbangs arranged in a hotel where participants are charged to cover costs! I said a returnable deposit if they have the manners to let you know they won't be attending. A simple I/we won't be attending is sufficient. These are from meet verified, phone numbers exchanged and confirmation of attendance the day before. This is all on the back of multiple messages. Aha, the old don't invite strangers nugget of advice from some. So everyone you meet you know? As I said, we've no clubs here, so everyone is a stranger, if it's your first time meeting. Any better ideas? I don't attend gangbangs, that is not my scene. I have never had a no show in 9 years on Fab, all the men I have arranged to meet have turned up. So no deposits needed here Your idea of a deposit held by Fab is completely ludicrous. I am not missing the point at all. I do have a better idea for you ..open your own club for your gangbangs. kinda hard to open a club in this part of the world, when the one that did open was set on fire. Not to mention the 'Sunday world' trying to expose the sexual shenanigans by infiltrating anything fledgling in the casual sex world. We go to chams a few times a year and would you believe it ?? success rate. This talk of oh, what do you expect when meeting strangers. Good advice that considering everyone is a stranger when you join. My idea of a deposit was a throw in the wind line, just to see if there's any better ideas out there and discuss. Any action taken against no shows, was based on no one having the courtesy to cancel. That's all. Just to say again OP think it is good idea for parties/group events and not far off what happens in many cases. You just need to arrange it yourself.

I think a lot of people replying here are in the mindset of one one meets for which I think it is not a good idea but for groups yep bring it on. " The OP was suggesting that "Fab" handle these deposits. They did not state group sex only, the suggestion was for Fab in general. They say a deposit for "meets". If the OP wants to charge deposits, they should do it themselves via another site. It's against Fab rules to ask for any monies. It is preferable to force people to have sex because they have paid a deposit, rather than accept people change their minds? All sounds very sordid and not fun at all . | |||

" Yes and I said not a good idea for Fab and do it yourself. OP also referred to parties/groups. Not sure on Fab rules regarding parties and groups and asking for money. If it against rules then a huge number of party organisers are in trouble as it is VERY common and openly advertised. Ditto for groups socials as well. It seems they perhaps you have not experienced that world so perhaps keep an open mind. Paying a deposit or paying to attend is not forcing anybody to have sex. It is way of ensuring people are semi-serious about attending and so not left with lack of people and also if some costs are involved that organisers are not left with big loss. | |||
