OK so I jumped in the car and put Jeremy Vine on the radio half an hour ago.
He was mid into a interview with some called Steve who owned swingers site.
But it did not say it was this....as I said I missed the beginning.
But what he said was "all members of the site will be required to submit a face picture showing their hands holding a handwritten piece of paper with certain details of the website.
It sounded very familiar to me! |

"Might have been lying about owning a swinging site.
To Jeremy Vine on the main BBC Radio 2 news! I doubt it "
Was he at the studio? An arranged interview? |

There and to the left a bit |
Think I heard the first part of that where he was talking to a guy who's a model whose pic has been used for catfishing purposes - so that was probably the wider context of the discussion |

Open Tonight Fri 27 CLOSED Saturday 28 |
So the site administrators see your face  In swinging someone has got to see your face eventually (wouldn't swing without a face pic in advance anyway would you?).
FAB have to accord itself with ICO and data-protection law.
But beyond that rumour begats rumour begats rumour ad-infinitum.

I heard a bit about that...but also on the context that putting credit card and passport details would be a bad idea.
Maybe this is a compromise.
But as I said I didn't catch the full interview. ...so if someone can get it it would be good to hear  |

Agree- It quite clearly states Face or body (up to sender) with a written username.
This is for Gender clarification to cut down on false profiles and make admin easier for all.
As we all know many fakes still get through on the net. However at the end of day it's the users choice to join or not. |

"Haven't heard that's about here but who knows not a bad shout aslong as it's only seen by admin "

The up side of that is it might stop many of the multiple accounts |

That's what I thought, is not many people on here photo verified if they don't know this already???  "
Before people had a choice...I myself was but for personal reasons after nearly 3 years of being so I asked admin to remove it.... which they did and I have been verified enough times for people to know I'm not fake

Definitely be in favour of Fab making it compulsory for everyone to be photo verified. Maybe stop all these single guys setting up fake couples profiles |

We like photo veris, I'm actually off the opinion that members should require to be photo verified before being allowed to post pics on the site.
This may only work for face pics, but admin shouldn't allow face pics until the profile has been photo verified (including face), otherwise how the fuck can admin accept the pics as being genuine.
Yes of course these things can be faked, but let's make it a touch less easy. |

I don't have photo verification and I don't plan on getting it with a nude photo.
I don't see what difference it makes either, particularly when its easy to cut and paste a sign in to a pic!
The green tick is verification enough. |

I think as it stands...they are meant to check if the photo sent in matches the ones they already have previously uploaded.
But if they have the time and manpower to do this is another question |

But eventually a 'face' needs to appear on a meet - if anyone ever meets without a face pic well that is just OMG! Hummmm!!!?

Yeah but as a previous poster has mentioned....the interview started with fakes and time wasters. ...maybe (don't shoot me lol) it would cut down on the timewasters |

How many troll do you think join at the moment...without any intention of meeting?
If it cuts down on that I might be worth it. |

Could do. But I've seen loads of photo verified profiles that haven't got the meet veri circle. |

I just listened to it, he didn't mention a name. The post you quoted mentioned Fab and you said it wasn't a rumour so why I assumed you were talking about Fab too.

I'm going off what I stated in the op...if things get mixed in quotes it sometimes happens. Both if you read my op it gives a full account of what I heard. |

We've met a few people without seeing face pics and never send them.
I'll put my face pics up after I've seen them given by Admin, volunteers and mods... |

What was the purpose of having the pic though? Any site can introduce their own ideas and restrictions but having benefits to their customers for submitting to them is key. We've already got changes from 2018, due to the stupid Conservative law on adult sites, so minimizing customer inconvenience is important. |

... where the streets have no name! |
Strikes me that it wouldn't be hard to get around - photoshopping a pic isn't really that difficult - not that anyone on here would ever be involved in such skulduggery! lol
NB - none of my pics have been 'photoshopped' ...erm except the b/w bum shot! |
