More strict blocking options?

By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

Is there any way dab could offer the option to completely block genders of people from even viewing your profile?

I’ve got a kik username in my profile and it feels like every other week I’m having to tell a man (who’s clicked on my profile, read through it and still continued to message me on kik) to stop messaging me...recently just got another gay guy asking me what does pussy taste like wtf

I doubt Fab will be able too, they have plenty more things to deal with.

Sadly not all people on here take note of what's on people's profiles. I understand you put your Kik name and why, but it's out in the open and likely to be abused purely because it can. Some sad people around who need to get a life.

It’s frustrating but you’re right, hopefully someone from their team looks at this section for things they can improve

I know this might be seen as a radical solution but maybe taking your kik name off your profile would solve this problem?

if anyone wants to view you they can whether you had the option to block single guys or not. So why change a function that lots of people use, just to suit you, when you can just take your kik name off.

We’ve learned the hard way and have now locked down our profile. We only give personal details to those we trust and have met.

Believe me there are some very strange people on Fab. I get why you don’t want to remove your Kik name from your profile but it’s the only way you’ll stop unwanted attention.

In a town Fab forgot

"Why the hell would you put your kik on your profile?! Tbf I block people that are mental enough to put their kik/snapchat/phone number on their profile

Not always on fab until late in the evening, not sure if it’s the case for anyone else but I can only get on the site when I’m connected to my home WiFi. External WiFi the site won’t load so kik is a quicker, easier option to contact me as it’s always available "

The problem you have is of your own making.

You have the power to resolve the problem.

You're choosing not to.

And yet Fab has to change its structure to suit you?

In an earlier post you used the word "entitled........"

The point is unless you block everybody, people will find a way to look at your profile if they want to.

I have no idea why people keep saying fab has to "change its structure”, this would be no different to blocking someone. It is the same structure just on a bigger scale. Having the power to block a gender from viewing your profile is just a wider version of having the power to block an individual

What it sounds like to me is the people against this (which I’ve noticed to be men) are afraid people will start using this and they won’t be able to view profiles anymore

If they’re that desperate enough to somehow try to find a way around a gender block then they need help

So you’re saying been a site supporter should give you access to view every profile and also allow to not let site supporters view your profile?

Well if they are messaging you on kik when you have asked them not to, then that suggest they are desperate. These are the same guys who are going to get around the gender block. So in order to solve your self imposed problem, everyone else has to give up a fairly useful function of fab.

It’s easier to ignore a message on a profile than having to make a completely new profile to get round a gender block.

Same thing I told the other person, this is no different to blocking an individual. What useful function would be given up, if users had the power to block genders from viewing their profile? The people who are alright with it would carry on using the site how it is and the users who aren’t alright with it would put the block up

So just how many unsolicited messages are you getting , from your opening post it sounds like one a week, why would you get so annoyed about that. If you don’t understand why it’s a useful function to have, then you don’t really know your way around fab, and why people view profiles even if they are not interested in person / gender they are looking at.

The whole point is I shouldn’t be getting any...genuinely curious...what is the appeal in being able to view profiles of people not interested in you? How is it useful? The whole point of fab is to connect with people so how is viewing profiles that you’re not going to message useful?

I personally don't see the reasons for doing this.

Relying on KIK because you can't get WiFi to work away from home and then asking for extra blocks to be made available is missing the point - get your WiFi problem sorted out.

There are loads of threads describing how to do that.

Adding more and more functionality to a site just makes it harder to support.

I need to be able to view and be viewed, aswell as contacted by people I would never be interested in playing with, but they can only do so on here... If you don't like it, remove your kik... If you won't, stop whining about it... Alot of peoples time on here is limited to the evening, it is just a silly excuse... Having it there just screams desperation...

You’re completely missing the point by addressing the kik/wifi issue, has nothing to do with what I’m suggesting just answering why my kik is on my profile in the first place

It’s extra IT updates and maintenance because one person won’t turn on their mobile data..

What are the site supporters there for then? extra maintenance is not an excuse for anything really

For all the work they already do!

It says site supporter is for functionality they couldn't afford to provide, so we are paying for them to add things, hence their work on the site.

Honestly, this could all be solved by you removing your kik name from your profile or calling your phone provider and asking them to stop blocking adult sites, it isn't rocket science.

...either you’re misreading things or your reading comprehension is poor... with what I’m suggesting if you want to be contacted by people or have your profile looked at then nothing will change.

For the people who don’t want to be contacted and are not desperate for attention from strangers they wouldn’t be interested in meeting with, they should have the option to block

I’ve already explained why my kik is there, not sure what is desperate or silly about having another avenue for people to contact you on"

Because you already know ANYONE can see your profile, whether they are who you would be into or not, is why it is an odd thing to do, especially after you have already had unsolicited contact because it is there... It isn't my comprehension that is the problem

Go to account, block list and you have the option to block M / F / MF couple / TV etc. You can even block people who don't fit into your age range of you so please! Long debate over a feature that already exists!

To be fair, I don't know whether the above stops those people from actually viewing you! Worth a try though I guess!

Pretty sure posting other methods to contact you other than via a message on here (Kik, snapchat mobile or WhatsApp) is technically against the site rules...

OP, I feel your pain. I ask men not to send me their cock pictures and they still do. I can't do much about it, only to block them afterwards. They have been warned.

If only there was a filter for messages so those including a picture of reproductive organs wouldn't reach my inbox - but it's not possible.

"Why the hell would you put your kik on your profile?! Tbf I block people that are mental enough to put their kik/snapchat/phone number on their profile

The problem you have is of your own making.

You have the power to resolve the problem.

You're choosing not to.

And yet Fab has to change its structure to suit you?

In an earlier post you used the word "entitled........"

I'm just going to leave that there.....

Own making how? I have the power to resolve the problem at the expense of my own usage on the site...is that fair?

What it sounds like to me is the people against this (which I’ve noticed to be men) are afraid people will start using this and they won’t be able to view profiles anymore"

You ask this question;

"Own making how?"

Let me ask you one;

Who put YOUR Kik ID on YOUR profile?

Your "problem" is incredibly easy to resolve and I'm not sure why it's not occurred to you yet.

Despite everyone here telling you.....

Remove your Kik ID from your profile.

Problem solved.

I haven't twisted anything.

YOU brought up mobile date, YOU put your kik name on your profile, YOU won't remove said kik name from your profile and YOU won't sort out your mobile data. This problem is entirely of your own making, how can you not see that?

People are nosy. People like to look at other people. It doesn’t mean we want to jump on every person we look at does it. I don’t understand the issue of someone simply viewing your profile. I get the unwanted messages on kik but not every people who looks at you does this. Granted, you shouldn’t have to amend your profile to stop people messaging you but what do expect when you put your kik on there? People don’t pay attention to people unfortunately

There's already a perfectly adequate mechanism in place to prevent messages being sent from unwanted age groups and genders.

You have bypassed that control by providing an alternative contact method because it's more 'convenient' for you.

I really don't see how that's Fabs responsibility to 'fix'...

Exactly this. If you provide people with a means to contact you outside of your Fab profile take responsibility for it.

leaving your other identity open will lead to people contacting you with weird messages I would get rid of it if it is causing you too much grief! Simples

That won't stop the OPs problem though.

People will still be able to visit his profile, look at his picture and read his biog.

They'll also see his Kik ID, which of course is where his problem all starts.....

The solution appears simple...

"I know this might be seen as a radical solution but maybe taking your kik name off your profile would solve this problem? why should I have to limit myself? I’ve asked men not to message, if it’s still happening I’m entitled to enquire about this"

But if it is a problem then wouldn't it be sensible to remove it and give it to the people who you want to message you?

So you put it on a profile and rely on people not to message? Being a tad naive there that everyone has some level of intellect

Its sort of like walking down the road wearing one of those sandwich boards showing your contact details

Ok , to the OP you are in the right section for your feedback, if Admin are going to implement it they will start a thread letting us all know. In the meantime the only option you have is to remove the KIK from your profile and sort out your data

Welcome to the forum by the way.
