I have been wondering recently about the mass block system. You are able to block single males on mass but not couples, single females or TV,s. With recent events that have said you are not allowed to charge males more to enter clubs and the car insurance judgement today by the European courts why does the site still discriminate against single males but not other groups? Surely this sexist isn’t it? |

No it's a restriction on the current software that runs the site, in that, it only allows for one type of "mass block" at the moment and the most asked for was for single males so that is what it is set for. |

If that was true you wouldn't be able to block users less than 5 days or ones without pictures or the other blocks they have. Its just sex discrimination as i see it. |

Ok whatever you say
I was just repeating what Admin have said in the past about it and seeing as it is their site I think they might know what they are talking about! |

Its a swingers site so why would you block couples. And as for clubs it just keeps them an even number otherwise they would be over run by single men. Saying that i think price of single guys should be reduced as single girls get in for a fiver |

Sadly for the more "genuine" single male on here, its the single guys who pester us more.....thats a FACT!!!
NEVER been pestered by couples, women or TVs.....
Its not sexist...IF it was then we would be able to block ALL profiles with only men on them!!!! |

Some people might want to block couples though as that is not what they are looking for, they might be a couple who only wants to meet singles for example?
Are swingers only couples then? |

Its such an unbelievable excuse its laughable but I guess they have to say something to avoid being accused of discrimination.
Still to single out one group of people based on gender alone is still discrimination based on sex. It should be no mass block or mass block not based on gender. |

If you looking for singles then go on a singles site like plenty of fish or something. If you looking for guys go on fabguys. Single guys out count girls and couples on here. And they are still not guarenteed a shag. |

If you are going to get technical to that extent everybody should be married but they are not. There are lots of couples who are 2 singles.
I just think if your going to apply a block it should be for all singles not just males or if you are going to be really fair a block for males/females/couples/TV's. |

Lots of couples are looking for single males. Many insist that you are single!
So your saying as a single woman you should not be on here but plenty of fish? I wouldn't say so myself as they are dating sites not sex sites.

I would also call you a "true swinger" but from what you put here it seems you only believe that single males can't be called "true swingers" - That's all I was getting at, although I don't give 2 hoots if it is only single males that can be "mass blocked" just now or even in the future.
I rarely block anyone on here and at the moment I only have 1 person in my block list. Cause I never get that upset that I feel the need to block folk. |

I dont block single guys either but when you get pestered by 50 emails a day saying the same thing then you will realise why the block button is there. |

We do plan to offer blocking later this year to other account types. At the moment our software only allows us to offer one block type (we've set it to single guys) so we need to re-engineer the system.
Hopefully the EU won't be angry with us in the meantime

You can block anyone individually, if you just do it frequently you soon end up with a nice even bunch of blockees -- no discrimination and problem solved |

That’s clearly not true though the list of blocks are………
Single men (yes, they can mail you) block them
Newbies (yes, they can mail you) block them
Not got public photos on profile (yes, they can mail you) block them
Not verified (yes, they can mail you) block them
Not site supporters
You must be a site supporter yourself before blocking same.
There is only one blocked on the grounds of sex out of 5. It just seems the excuse used is a bit flimsy. The dog ate my homework one the kids use is becoming rather believable now lol.

all of those blockes are different/seperate.
one is status ie couple, single female or single male, one is length of time on site, one is profile pics, one is supporter status, one is verifications etc etc etc
i believe admin are saying they can only provide one block based on "status" at the moment. |

There's no need to be mean.
If we could offer blockings of multiple account types, we would, and like we say above it will happen later in the year.

I really can't see why people get themselves all hot and bothered about who can block who and who cannot.
Like kids in a friggin playground
For Christs sake if you get a message from a person or group of people you are not into, just ignore the bloody messages and stop getting so steamed about it.
Discrimination my arse. It's a site where folks have a bit of fun, take it at face value and don't screw your mind worrying about the finer points.. |

Well a typical couples response. Roll on when i can block them all as very few posses the ability to read profiles that's for sure.
Anyway yes i think fab does discriminate against single males. Why you can block people who don't have pictures but not couples but you can single males is discrimination against single males and to say anything else is just rubbish.

Your reply made me smile. I wonder what those striving for perfection in their mailbox will really make of it when they get their wish and nobody they deem unsuitable writes to them.
I love receiving all mail apart from the obvious fruitcakes - but even they can be a source of entertainment 'in the moment'. It takes seconds to delete winks, unsolicited friends invitations and undesirable mail. It takes a hours to write about the sites imperfections lol |

I didn't realise couples could be a pest too like that. Is it the male half or the female half though? |
