"We love this site and have made so many new friends because of it. Today we have taken the step to block people who are not at least photo verified. This is something that we have never wanted to do. When we first joined we had so many people offering us help and advice even before we were verified. This is something we have tried to do in return to those that are starting out taking their first daunting steps into the swinging lifestyle. We seem to be getting more and more newish profiles messaging us out of the blue that are so obviously not a couple or a single female. Why is it not compulsory to be photo verified when joining ? If not that then make it so that photo verified or verified by meeting are two separate message filters. Yes photos can be faked but it will drastically cut down on the fakers who join this site every day. " great idea | |||

"In a perfect world it would happen. But as fabs rely on members joining, it would drastically reduce if " verification" became the standard. As the old saying goes " the best looking females on the net are men" Too many fake cpls, cpls who joined as cpls but now single males and males pretending to be females. Why? Feck knows! If you suspect the profile is not as it seems, report it and hopefully admin will do something about it. " Agree on this it will reduce fabswingers membership and also photo verified picture is easy to get by so it won't stop fakers that's for sure Been on site for over 11 years never been photo verified and never will. I don't pay attention if a profile is photo verified or not  | |||

Make up a KIK exchange kicks then videocall if not the person on show then block and report If they are not willing to video all then get them to.... well you know | |||

This was clearly aimed at new members and we did say it would reduce the fakers and not stop them. It would require them to put more effort in and dissuade the ones that can’t be arsed of which we believe would be the majority. Neither were we looking for advice on working out who is fake or not as it’s so obvious who is and who isn’t. It just frustrates us having to block everyone that isn’t verified to stop receiving messages from the fakers | |||

Yes I get this but new members do tons of things wrong, its a learning experience. I'm usually in the scots chat room and most use it for chatting, general chat and don't really use it to watch cams or look for meets etc.. but every evening there's always a few idiots who come in to try and direct of make condescending remarks too women, so that's frustration for us in there but some of the people who do it are newbies who don't know any better but some are experienced don't really care. If fab wanted anyone who joins to be photo verified they would soon see they would have less members joining and if a fake is joining, trust me, nearly every fake will get by the photo verification, why? because they want to. I don't like it as it proves nothing but this is my view ONLY from my 11 year experience. | |||

"Well I can easily photoshop a picture to have a fab photo verification imagine and make it look natural as if the person in the picture is holding it. Its easy to do and tone it in a way to make it look like part of the image. I'm not negative at change, I'm all for it, if it works and clearly, my view I don't think it will work, its easy for fakes to bypass. I have to admit I think its brill when people come out with ideas and others come in with the pros and cons. When you see both pros and cons then its easier to work on change. I do it for all my websites that I design and my clients and their users come up with good ideas  | |||

"So again you have proved the point that you need to have a rudimentary knowledge of manipulation software to enable you to make changes that will get past moderation. This is not a skill set that most of the men that come on here to get their kicks making fake profiles have. The suggestion was to reduce fakers not stop them " lol, I have given you a couple of reason, and the main one is, if everyone is photo verified, and they just cant make only newbies photo verified, so it means many people would leave the site and many would not bother joining, thus fabswingers would, lose plenty or business. A fake is someone who will go to lengths further to get what they want. Infact manipulating an image can be easily learned in just 20 minutes. You have made a good post and I and others have given reasons why not. In order for something to work you have to understand the why nots so that they can be sorted or changed to fit in .
I hope your not thinking I'm trying to make it personal, that is the last thing would do, you have made points, I and a few others have given reasons why not, of which I have elaborated in detail and some have said great idea
good businesses and good websites look at all the pros and cons and deal with them accordingly to get the best out of their business and website thus growing bigger so from my point of view, the more great ideas to improve any website is the best thing, good or bad. | |||

"Definitely agree with compulsory photo verification. For a scenario, a friend of mine was on this site and met a few people. Don't know the full details but she rejected a guy and a few days later had loads of people coming to her place of work saying they recognised her, had a great time speaking last night etc etc She unfortunately had been fired but easily avoidable, had these fake profiles of her been photo verified before they could message!" Are you photo verified? | |||

"Not yet! But I have a verification by meet, will upload one now though!" Good. Because if you're demanding that everyone is photo verified, you really should be yourself.  | |||

I don't get it, she can't be sacked from her job because a fake photo of her is on a swingers profile FACT. I know your prob not saying she did, (scenario), but yeah in certain jobs you could lose for being a swinger. Do you think these fake pictures are taken from just fab photos, no they are not and as I stated previously it's easy to make a fab photo verified fake picture, easy to do and whose prepared to go to these further lengths, not us who are genuine but the people who make the fake profiles up for whatever reason. Again if fabswingers ever decide to go down this route they will lose a lot of customers and money and they will still have tons of fake profiles joining. Don't think they want to go down that route  | |||

She should have got the police involved, because whoever.uploaded those pictures are breaking the "revenge porn law". Maybe about time any person sees pictures or videos they have not agreed to be seen,takes action. Think" fake couples" may think twice about uploading pics of their unknowing partner,if they get the jail | |||
