How?
What does this magic flag do?
Seems to me you just need to use the block button if you think you've come across a fake profile. Problem solved. Little effort.

Well you read the ad and contact the person and if you think this is fake you just go back to ad and click flag. Ad removed.
But in the wrong hands it is dangerous. |

Report any potential scams/fakes to admin, with your reasons. Flagging sounds like a charter for bullying etc.
I'd like an autoreply option, to decline interest and optionally block at the same time. People get their answer and closure.
Otherwise I'd prevent long forum copying and pasting in threads, by just having approve or dislike buttons. Lower bandwidth costs due to smaller threads. |

I would make the FABSWINGERS bar at top of page optional when you pay the fee. I HATE it.. annoys the hell out of me.
I have to keep closing the page when people walk behind me. If it wasnt there I could continue doing whatever I am am doing. |

"Forced" to respond?
I still don't get why people can't take a no reply as a no thank you. |

Agreed, as I come under South West, but I am right in the far North of that area.
I'd like to be able to change the order of my photo's when viewing on my phone, so have them in order of my preference, to send to people. So a face pic is always near the beginning etc, rather than having to scroll through loads to get there.
I'd also like to be able to have different age preferences for men, women, couples i.e. each category. I know you can advance search it that way, but sometimes I'd like that option in reverse. Not sure that makes sense, but I know what I mean. |

There could be a "No Thanks" button on messages. Select all that apply, click the button and it sends an automated response saying "not interested" and deletes the message at the same time. |

Something to be actually done about the fakes on here. For instance someone on our friends list who have been on the site a significant amount of time find a profile that has just joined which are using their pics.
They report and put a status up about it. They then get sanctioned for the status but the fake profile and pics remain? Go figure |

A "select all" option in messages NOT "delete all"
A "reply to those selected" "delete those selected" - bulk delete is handy but far too heavy handed.
The option to have your Avatar as anything you want without a full size version - think of all the fun threads - St George's day, Valentine's Day, Etc,
The ability to respond to Admin - if they send you a message then you should damn we'll be able to reply to them.
Oh - and Mods being held responsible for their actions/decisions NOT hiding behind "contact Admin".
If they do something then they should publicly explain themselves.
That's not a dig at the the Mods BTW - but if you choose to step up and take on that responsibility then have the balls to say why you did something openly.

An arrange meet function.
When two parties decide to meet they confirm it by both arranging the meet through a site function.
After the meet has been arranged and the date passes you get a menu.
[]user attended meet.
[]user did not attend.
Based on which you click another option comes up.
User attended gives you the leave feedback option.
User did not attend gives you more options.
[]User gave reasonabe notice for non attendance.
[]User did not give reasonable notice for non attendance.
Clicking the bottom option gets the profile flagged and the page shows they have a non attendance. |

It probably isn't. Good luck whoever got the job categorising people. I assume next they'll be asking for evidence of weight, height and body fat percentage? In fact why don't we all just undergo extensive medical testing before we're allowed to sign up? |

And everyone can see from that person's photos whether they've chosen the right category for them. Easy. |

It's mainly the messaging function on here that bugs me, e.g. not being able to go to the next page of messages without deleting all the messages in the first page. If it was possible to make it work more like an email inbox that would be really helpful |

The only major problem is getting the locations and areas right, i/we me & Kim regularly get messages from the midlands and up north as they think we are near them.
Get this right and more people will actually meet... |

I agree, or a simple 1, 2, 3 4, etc, page option added to the current system so you can jump to which page you like with one click of a button. |

100% agree with all that, I'd also like to add page numbers for received and sent messages, so you don't have to delete other messages just to see old ones, like an email inbox. |

A bit more flexibility on the age restrictions for messaging

Bear with me though it won't be popular... Only pics on friends page or sent 1:1 so that people have to communicate more. Too much based on simple snap choices made on glances at photos that can either be faked or generously framed.

Well people would end up making simple snap choices based on username or the first few words in the profile. There will always be simple snap choices and they won't always work in your favour, such is life. |

Surely if someone does not want to meet someone over a certain age then a month or two over does not matter anyway? |

What's stopping someone you meet but don't want to play with (due to them fibbing about age/looking nothing like their pics/being a total fucktard) deciding to push the 'did not show' options out of spite?
The site is not responsible for arranging your meets, ensuring folk are who they say they are, or enabling honest accurate feedback.
It's a site facilitating contact. Nothing more.
What happens after people arrange to meet is down to them, and their responsibility alone.

Quite right!
There's another site which claims to offer these features, but it's riddled with fakes & scammers and it's white-labelled across a number of domains.
The beauty of Fab is that it's funded for and run by its supporters. Maybe a few tweaks are needed - but I don't think this will help |
