"yea but the photo you have to verify urself does not appear on ur profile so what have you got to hide. To many men posin as women and cpls. Ruins it for genuine fork. " quick cam or phone call cant rectify that | |||

"am on about the amount of men posin as women and cpls. Which is pathetic if thats the only way they can get to talk to women" If they are so obviously fake... 1 - why worry you can avoid them 2 - just report them. If they are obvious to you they will be obvious to admin. Unless you are just assuming of course. | |||

"well admin are lookin into it now ive suggested it. And if ur genuine you wouldnt need to go on another site." I think nothing will come of it on all honesty, the way we have now can work well for all, like I said we have the choice of contacting only verified people or not, forcing people to photo verify will have many wondering if there is more to it than simply photo verification. | |||

"well admin are lookin into it now ive suggested it. And if ur genuine you wouldnt need to go on another site." How does that work? So if someone does go onto a different site they're automatically not genuine? Dont be silly. | |||

"well admin are lookin into it now ive suggested it. And if ur genuine you wouldnt need to go on another site." I seriously doubt they will change the rules as this has been suggested again and again in the year I've been here. And nothing has changed. Photo verification, like the other verification, is not foolproof. best to live and let live and have fun on here. Life's too short to force people into doing things they don't want to do. | |||

"well admin are lookin into it now ive suggested it. And if ur genuine you wouldnt need to go on another site." So let me get this straight, you asked people whether they thought all profiles should be photo verified, the over riding response was no, and yet you still went to admin and asked them to look into it....... Why did you ask for people's opinions? Why can you not exclude people that don't have photo verification in their profile? Why do you want people to "conform" to your behaviour? Well done, if this gets pushed through I can see a whole bunch of people going elsewhere, why? Because if a bloody bank ca get hacked for private information, I am bloody sure a swinging site can be, and then all those "private" photos of people's faces and real names is distributed for the Lols on the Internet Sheesh, the site is fine, your approach to it isn't. You will get time wasters, you will get genuine meets, try to focus on the positive. | |||

"omg im makin a genuine statment so you tellin me men dont pose as women and cpls yea or no" Nobody is suggesting that, people are suggesting though that forced photo verification is not the answer and that it is easy enough to contact only photo verified so there is your answer. | |||

"yea but the photo you have to verify urself does not appear on ur profile so what have you got to hide. To many men posin as women and cpls. Ruins it for genuine fork. " okay.. i'll play along for the purposes of this thread... I will happily accept photo varification if you can tell me if it stops the following... 1) does photo varification tell me if someones sexuality is correct..bi/straight/bi curious 2) does photo varification tell me if someone is married or single? 3) does photo varification tell me if someone is the height they claim they are?? 4) does photo varification quite frankly tell me if someone is a complete arse??? or whether they have let people down?? ect ect ect I am not photo varified.. never have been, not intending to.... but now do you see why photo varification is not the "bees knees" | |||

"omg im makin a genuine statment so you tellin me men dont pose as women and cpls yea or no" Course they do, but a) who died and made you admin and b) photo verification won't prevent timewasters. | |||

"omg im makin a genuine statment so you tellin me men dont pose as women and cpls yea or no" I really don't know where you are going with this statement, I have NEVER been contacted by someone that wasn't what they pertained to be..... What would be the point, so a guy posing as a woman suggests we meet, I get there and the she is a he, then what? We talk about football? What's in it for them? You are a single guy, I get that couples might need to be a bit cautious when contacted by other couples or single women that turn out to be guys, but surely a social meet first negates this? I sometimes think that the forums are a bad thing, it appears that everyone lies about their sexuality, gender, marital status etc. Etc. And this simply isn't true, well not in my experience | |||

I don't think people should be made to be photo varied to use the site but i do wonder why people are so negative about it after all if you have a photo up having another photo with a piece of paper isn't a huge difference. Maybe if there was a block for people not photo verified there would be a change then. | |||

You can block someone not verified at all but all a guy has to do is get someone to verify them (Or do it from another location ) | |||

"There is a difference between a footloose single joining a swinging site looking for a bit of nookie and a couple who are wondering if it is for them and what the options are.... may be seeking some advice on how others went about starting before giving it a go. A couple with a decent job and worries about friends and family finding out before they even take the first steps.... and before they even get to join in on the site they are told they MUST either strip off and send full naked body shots or face pics to a site they no nothing about and don't know if they can trust........ hmmmmmmmmmm.

"another thought, if a couple was to get themselves photo verified and then split up, the single (possibly male) could perhaps go on to use that profile acting as a couple, then you have a photo verified genuine fake couple. " Yes, has a message off a guy like that - verified as a couple but him and the woman had split up. He was up front about being single but he would have been verified so would get through filters etc. | |||
