If you have a verification tick, you can now optionally choose to display a summary of your verifications on your profile.
The default for this is turned off for all existing users.
You can turn it on via your "manage verifications" page.
The verification summary includes a count of verifications left by users who are no longer on the site.
We think this has a number of uses:
* useful to show how many verifications you have if you choose not to publish the actual text details for privacy reasons
* useful to publish the amount of verifications you have had in total, since it counts those from users no
longer on site
* useful to gauge how verified users are
Feedback welcome.
Anyone who is verified by any means or is a site supporter can view this information (assuming the user whose profile they are viewing has chosen to publish it).

Maybe me being daft, but I don't see the benefit of this?
Reading all the requests, I (rightly or wrongly) thought the consensus of opinion was that members didn't want to lose their old veri feedback. Not say how many they had received. |

Great idea - although the tick allows other to see you have been verified, that could have been from one very old verification. Now you have an idea of how many and when was the last verification, even if not shown. This all helps to give an indication of those who are genuine.
Obviously having no verifications does not make for fake or timewaster but helps people to make up their own minds. |

Thanks Admin great job we have displayed ours and people can now see exactly what we have been verified for. One question does this tally up all your verifications even the ones you choose not to show? |

We'll make sure that blocked users don't show in the count so you'll just need to block the user. Not sure how it works now but we'll fix/resolve tomorrow

Very welcome addition to our profile
Is there any reason why you can't just make old verifications show up instead though?
Seems unfair that if someone leaves you lose their verification. In our case, nearly a dozen of them  |

I like the idea - and am definitely genuine - I just don't like the idea showing how many veris I have in total - it doesn't differentiate between social meets and play meets or repeat veris (I don't think so, anyway) - so I look like I've shagged half of fab from the numbers lol!!  I also have a few 'spoof' veris from friends  |

Yes but if you didn't want that webcam veri and the person had left the site. You wouldn't be able to block them, so it would still show in your summary |

Nice Idea if you have a lot of meets, But as i do read peoples profiles that should tell me whether or not they are into singles or couples or own sex (Unless they are lying...)
i do think some will find it useful though even if i don't want to use it.

Same a verification from same sex however does not always mean a play meet - it would be good if there was a way of marking a verification as "social" or "play" so it does not cause confusion.
(I can hear a few bi guys rumbling "but you claim to be straight yet have verifications from guys! Are you in the closet??" - No, I just don't have a problem chatting and having a laugh with other guys at socials - if they choose to verify me, I won't complain |

Does give an idea of repeat meets as it shows how many of each type of profile have verified you and how many veris you have for meet/cam....so you could, for example, be verified by 10 couples but from 20 meets |

Interesting addition!
Just waiting for the messages asking about the two guys that verified me now! (Ex members - joined me and friends for threesomes - but no doubt they'll be the doubters that think I meet guys!)
Not bothered though - never worried about others perceptions - and see it as a useful tool to identify meet vs cam veri's! If people choose not to use - it's their choice of course - but I like it - so gets a from me! |

We've decided to show ours. Like the idea and to some extent I'd like to see it made obligatory. I often have to spend time unnecessarily doing advanced searches on people to find out if they have at least one veri by meeting when they hide them of only show webcam ones.
The new feature would tell me straight away if they have meeting veris and would save a lot of time and, in some cases, some snotty messages!! Lol!

Ours counts 11 veris from 9 people, That tells anyone reading it that at least two people are repeat meets. The same would apply to yours, surely.....?? |

"I Just want to pick up on the point about it being opt in for existing users
Does this mean that it will be compulsory for new profiles? "
Good point!
I'm beginning to have second thoughts about this. The only thing we really want to know about someone is if they have either had at least one veri by meeting, or are photo-verified. How many they have and with whom is of no interest to us....
Just a different coloured tick would do it, to be honest. Green for meet verified, orange for web verified only maybe...????

I tend to agree. I don't understand the point of a site feedback forum where members voice their views only for something different to be implemented.
I could be completely wrong and if so I apologise but I always thought it was to show a different icon for cam or meet in person.

I like it, it shows that all ours have been meets and none are cam, as neither of us use cam.
But judging by the figures, there being more men than couples and females, it makes me look like a woman of ill repute and he like Mother Theresa.
I just want it noted that we go to parties
and clubs and meet lots of people on the same evening - I have not played with all of those men ........ (Oh give it up Feebs, stop trying to make yourself look innocent)     |

I am a member of another site which uses a feedback system. That one only allows you to show 1 feedback from each member. That is, no repeat feedbacks to artificially inflate the number of feedbacks. This works for clubs too.
Verifications should only be for meets to my mind. What does a cam verification prove? Nothing other than they go on cam. It doesn't mean they will meet.
The other site uses a similar summary display to this new one here. It shows if someone has had negative feedback and chosen to not display it. Things like all help to show the genuine from the dreamers... of which there are many. |

When it says "verified by x people" those x are people, not verifications.
Ditto for x men x women etc.
The verifications by type e.g. cam/meet/etc are verifications and not grouped.

Ho hum.
To admin, i think its a nice addition which joins the other tools available to site users to allow us make informed decisions in future. I also like that it shows a total number, as many people sometimes have verifications vanish due to people leaving the site.

Like the feature..but I see a problem!
This feature does what many people have been asking for, when people don't show their verification's, this shows if their verification's are from Cam or Meets..but there's the problem, by allowing users to opt in or out of this, those who don't want you to know they only cam will just hide these details.
Plus there is a little too much information, while I like the idea that you can show people that ALL your verification's are from meets, the number is irrelevant and will put some people off.
While I wouldn't want these features to be removed as some members will like to add this info to their profile I would have preferred a simpler green tick for meet verifys and a orange tick for cam verifys..this would allow us to see if the profile as actually met someone, without then needing to show the actual verification wording or telling everyone how many meets they have had. |

"I think its great and should be put on profile with no opt out esp the bit that says they have met as some wont show veri cause there only cam veri so you still dont no if there genuine meets "
Curious as to why you think someone else should be allowed to choose what I put on my profile?
I think that my instincts are sufficient for me to decide to meet someone. I don't dictate how you should make decisions on how you choose to select people to meet. Why do you think you have the right to dictate my choices?
A little green tick tells you that someone has been verified if that's what you need to decide. I don't and I certainly don't need to be forced to show any sort of verification information to ensure a meet. I'm aware I'm a girl thus making it slightly (!) easier for me than a single bloke for example. 
Choice is good.
Optional is good.
We all have a mind of our own. If you need help with choosing the people you meet then it's a great system for you. However, I don't require outside help in choosing who I meet. |

While we would never think that anyone should be forced into showing their verifications, the current system doesn't give enough information!
The little green tick is not enough information for us, we want to meet people who have verifications via meets and not cams.
So the problem is that anyone who like you wants to hide their verifys and we cannot see if they have meet verifications we have to pass them by
But if we had a 2 colour system, green tick verified by meeting or orange tick cam verified, we could see they had met someone and perhaps then meet them!
The new feature, for us gives to much information, we don't need to know someone has met 100 times with 3 different people, just that they have actually met someone.
But we have found a new way to verify our meets! We meet people at clubs! or we meet people via recommendations from other FAB members, we know or have met.

Recommendations?
Wowsers!! That's a whole other level of discretion or lack of that I'm just not comfortable with!
Like I said... choice and options! I'll stick with opting out until it becomes compulsory then I'll delete all my verifications and take my chances! Each to their own etc. |

We to like to use the site while being discreet and would of thought the two colourer tick system would have been a better system to adopt and as a site supporter if it was made compulsory don't think we would stay on here as who and when we meet and the number of times we meet is our business and not the whole sites. |

Why we ONLY meet single guys and their recommendation are of their friends and people who are members of their own groups!
Or as today someone will point us in the direction of a FAB profile we may be interested in!
Surely a verification is a recommendation anyway!! |

So you never take verifications anyway, as they are recommendations and you see those as a lack of discretion?
We have recently been contacted by a guy who actually asked us to ask another guy about him, as he knew we had met him as at the time he was a guy who had verified us and was showing on our profile. |

I don't use a verification system on any site to decide on who I'm going to meet. I can count on one hand the number of people I've given verifications to and its only because they've been requested. i don't want them on my profile and I don't believe it makes people fake or less real because they don't show them. I don't look for a green tick or any other sort of tick. Verifications make me cringe when I read them so I tend not to read them. I've no interest in reading the ins and outs (sometimes quite literally) of other people's meetings. It's of no interest to me who has met who and in fact more likely to put me off a person so I avoid reading them. I have a mind of my own, I don't need to know how good Joe was at making Doris cum like a train and gush all over the place. *vomits* That's between Joe and Doris.
I understand why there is a system in place. I fully appreciate its uses but I believe in discretion more. I'll take my chances on the people I meet using my instincts but we all swing differently. I'm pretty fussy and I don't meet very often so when I do, I've got to know that person a little bit without the need for a recommendation of any sort.

We also don't believe in not showing your verifications makes you less real or fake..but we would like to know if a person has actually played and not just cammed!
Again we also don't take too much notice of what the words say, though to say we cringe would be going a little too far!
But as we travel quite a few miles to meet someone, not having any idea of if they will turn up or not is important to us, so we only have verification to go on and usually if they have turned up for a few others then they normally show , we have only ever had 1 or 2 back out and they have given us notice, so has worked so far.
Discretion while important to us also, as we meet at parties and clubs with lots of people, we understand that discretion in these circumstances is more difficult.
We also let people know our FAB profile name and if they then let others know about us that's OK, as again we have met many good meets this way over the years.
As we meet ONLY single guys (no females or couples)there are obviously loads of single guys joining the site after a few beers on FRi/Sat night they may be married etc..so again the verification allows us to filter a little |

Yup... like I said, we all do things differently and your way works for you. I just wouldn't like any verification system to be compulsory. I like that I can opt out whilst you can opt in. Everyone is happy.
I just wondered in my original response why the poster thought there should be no option to opt out... I'm still none the wiser. |

"I quite like it... although question for admin... I have a verification (which I have reported to you previously to ask for it to be removed) from someone who couldn't mail me and attempted to contact me that way.
I don't generally cam... so dont really want "1 cam" veri showing up if I showel this. Can this veri be removed altogether please..
We'll make sure that blocked users don't show in the count so you'll just need to block the user. Not sure how it works now but we'll fix/resolve tomorrow
Admin x"
Could be tricky to block the user if they have already left the site.
I have one veri from a male that is mentioned on the summary, but I cannot display the veri to show it was a fellow social attendee and not a play meet.
As I result I am now considering that it may be better to hide the summary.
Shame as I would prefer to be transparent (rather than hiding information) to more correctly portray myself. |

"Nice Idea if you have a lot of meets, But as i do read peoples profiles that should tell me whether or not they are into singles or couples or own sex (Unless they are lying...)
i do think some will find it useful though even if i don't want to use it.
The Muncher
Same a verification from same sex however does not always mean a play meet - it would be good if there was a way of marking a verification as "social" or "play" so it does not cause confusion.
(I can hear a few bi guys rumbling "but you claim to be straight yet have verifications from guys! Are you in the closet??" - No, I just don't have a problem chatting and having a laugh with other guys at socials - if they choose to verify me, I won't complain "

I think they can see the same issue that we have, the current system if you decide to hide your verifications, you are unable to see if the verification is for a meet or a cam.
The new system only allows you to work this out if you show the new features, which most won't! so they want to make people show the info so they can see if someone has been verified by meet as like us we ONLY want to meet people who are verified by meet as we disregard cams ONLY verifications.
Like we said originally we don't want to make anything compulsory, just different colours so you can see if they are verified by meet, cam or both,seems easy, no kneed to see the wording, as like you what's it matter, or to see how many of each or how many people etc... |

"Great idea - although the tick allows other to see you have been verified, that could have been from one very old verification. Now you have an idea of how many and when was the last verification, even if not shown. This all helps to give an indication of those who are genuine.
Obviously having no verifications does not make for fake or timewaster but helps people to make up their own minds."
Very true x |

I really like this improvement admin, thank you!
Apologies if this has already been said, I have not read every post.
It would be great to be able to have a 'Social meet' option to display in the synopsis in comparison with 'play meet'
Keep up the excellent work |

Well i realise everyone loves this option but I have a gripe:
Fab stores data, if users left the site the data is still stored. what else is stored? All messages? photos? Videos?
When we signed up for the site we were not informed that all data sent /recieved would be stored. We dont see this function as a positive move.. MT |

We keep a count but no personal data is retained. This is why we cannot show the verification text once a user leaves the site.
Over a million messages are sent each day. Even if we wanted to and were allowed to (we don't and we aren't), it wouldn't be practical in terms of storage to retain anything - the numbers are far too big.

We have said dozens of times, mostly every time that this comes up, that we can't show verification details once someone leaves the site because it is removed. We'll add to the FAQ so we can just refer folks there.

I've had an email already from a guy telling me to turn my summary off because it doesn't look good, what people are not gonna realise is that i've been on Fabs for four years and that some are from social meets too. Maybe we should have how long we've been a member on here for showing. |

Not sure what value it has really as someone else has stated it would be better if it showen meeting in person or just webcam meets and how long someone has been a member.. ours shows 73 meets but we have been on here since 2008 or 2009 not sure how long! they could have all been webcam so dont think it really helps but glad to see admin are trying new things |

I'm opting out I'm afraid and like fact I can do this. It's a) private how many or little times I meet b) displaying veris has always been a difficult one for ( self promoting ) I love the idea of colour coded ticks for meet in person or cam verification |

"It seemed as if I was being judged by the amount of meets showing on my summary and I was surprised by the attitude from someone on a site like this."
If they are judging you for the way you choose to play then would you have been compatible? My guess is probably not, so if they are put off by the numbers then to me it's worked to deter someone I'm most likely better off not meeting...great tool to me! |

This post kind of proves my earlier point about where the verification system is going. To explain the contributors stats would need more detail in the summary (eg. length of time on Fabs, avg meets per year, social or play meet, etc) and would anyone viewing it actually understand the picture the summary is painting, or even read it at all??? We see enough threads in the forums complaining about peoples profiles not being read as it is, so it's a bit unrealistic to expect this addition to be read too, isn't it..?
I doubt it in either case, to be honest.
The only thing that the above user has learned about the guy questioning her veri summary is that he seems quite judgemental and would probably not be the kind of guy she'd want to meet anyway
I keep coming back to my experience on another site with no veri system at all - you took people for what they ARE, and NOT for how many people they'd shagged.
I think it needs to be sorted out exactly WHAT the veri system is there for? To us, all we want to know is if someone has actually been met in person by other users, thus confirming there is a real person behind the profile. We are not interested in what they did, or did not do, with anyone else - only what they 'could' do with US...
I just hope this prompts a more intelligent discussion about the veri system on here, cos it badly needs it... |

"To explain the contributors stats would need more detail in the summary (eg. length of time on Fabs, avg meets per year, social or play meet, etc)"
At the moment, the only info, from that selection, that Fab actually has is Avg _VERIS_ per year! People who meet each other regularly tend not to continue issuing a Veri for every meet.
"To us, all we want to know is if someone has actually been met in person by other users, thus confirming there is a real person behind the profile."
Which is what the Veri system is designed to do! |

It's fine , admin are going to attend every meet whether social or play thereby ensuring everyone is just what they say they are. I also hear they gonna provide a plan on how said meets should go so everyone is singing from same hymn sheet. |

You can't. The only way you can remove the verification from her profile is to block her.
If you remove the block the verification will show again. |

Great feature - it is very useful for sorting out fakes from genuine swingers - some peeps say they won't publish their verifications - but there is no excuse not to publish this new "summary" .. We have started using it as a brilliant filter tool - if they don't publish verification summary or recent verifications - we block / dont respond - because we have found repeatly they are fakes! So it's a great feature - and should be made compulsory !;-) |

I'm with you too... But.... If people need to see the summary so badly and think I am fake because I don't show it then that's fine by me. If they are so uptight and pathetic then I don't want to meet them.
So it's actually a great tool for ing out the uptight people that can't think for themselves. |

I knew we'd have a post like this in this thread eventually.
Sorry to say this, but if you are that naive to put ALL your ENTIRE faith in a list of veris and now the summary too, then I think you really need to take a good long look in the mirror at how you're going about all of this.
We're not fakes - far from it - but I am getting sick and tired of justifying 'who we are' to people based on THEIR judgement of what is displayed on our profile.
Going away now to have a serious think about what we display for the 'judgement' of others.....
An annoyed ted.

Dear me....it REALLY isn't that big a deal people. It is an OPTIONAL feature.
Don't like it...don't display it.
Think someone is "fake" for not displaying it? You need to reassess your priorities.
Making judgements on those who display it (or the number of meets/ verifications it shows when displayed)? You also really need to sort how you use this site.
And everything in between.
At the end of the day, it is another in the growing list of tools we have here for our benefit. Use any combination of them to make INFORMED decisions about who you choose to spend your time with. Or don't.
I hasten to add:
tl:dr - it is optional, not forced on you, and there are considerably more important things to worry about. hopefully admin and the site owners have even more robust features coming. That is all. |

As for the summary I'm not keen. I won't be showing it. I do think that different colour symbols for cam/meet verify and poss social meets too are a good idea but for me this is all a bit too much info. |

I'm not keen to be honest. I've displayed a few veris from people I have met and had fun with to prove I'm genuine. I have veris from people I have spoken to at clubs and there is nothing to differentiate these so it looks like I play with a lot more people than I do. |

Although this is a great feature - the discreet users of fab may not be willing to use this feature as there guilty pleasures will be displayed I'm terms of what gender they have had relations with
I would suggest a breakdown in the feature
1. Listing a total of the verifications and how gained ie meet, web
2. A breakdown of who has been met, couple, male, female
The user should have the option to display both features as point 2 may want to be kept secretive for the majority |

Looks like some people want more info from this feature.... and some people want less.
Further up the thread, there was a suggestion that 'social' meets should be counted separately from 'play' meets.
The next suggestion will be that the verification summary should show how many miles apart the verifiers are from each other! We're only one step away from Fab being asked to list who has shagged who!
Can't we all just use our judgements???? |

Continuous Improvements to the site make for a better experience for all. However, such improvements ought to be tested and put to a panel of people before they are implemented. This would out the potential issues and raise the recurring important questions, hence helping Admins to develop a better tool more customised to the needs of the members. Admitedly it is impossible to please everyone, but to not try to gain an understanding of what a customer wants is not best practice in any industry. |

"Very welcome addition to our profile
Is there any reason why you can't just make old verifications show up instead though?
Seems unfair that if someone leaves you lose their verification. In our case, nearly a dozen of them "
Make a note of your verifications on word, that way if someone leaves, you can incorporate it in your profile as I have seen some people do |

Absolutely as realistically, if one is verified, why have both or is this new idea geared towards those who don't like to show their verifications? |
