As this site is a virtually free site do you think a £50 memership fee will eradicate all the idiots and timewasters as I know from meets and chatting on this site we all come across !! Even the pretend couples and single ladys and the scared shitless single guys what do you think xx lee |

People are allowed more than one profile.
If they are using it to get round blocks/ devilment or to just be an out and out paint in the arse then you can report them and let Admin do their stuff  |

i see this as a very thinly disguised attempt to reduce the completion 
you have been here 6mths and got a very long list of veries so you cant have had that much bother with meets  |

£50 wont scare off idiots - go on pay sites and you have the same and those cost more then £50 a year. Why ruin it for the few who are real? To the multiple profiles some have different tastes and do not to show that in 1 profile; some have couples and single profiles does that make them all time wasters? Think not... Time waster are after a bit easy to spot "Do not read profiles, ask for pictures, can not accommodate, have been on the site for over a year and never ever been to a social or had a meet..." list goes on just use "brain" and 90% of time waster are caught out...

"I wonder if single guys who want to thin out the competition a bit with these suggestions realise that it will also cut down on the very people they want to meet."

I suppose that depends on wether they are doing anything that is against rules plus and obviously I am not privy and you won't be able to say.
Either way, I am sure Admin will have checked out the report and decided if any action was needed |

When will people realise that being a single man on this site doesnt mean you are a second class citizen & thus should be treated differently! As even well verified couples waste others times & treat some with zero respect.....just block the idiots & name & shame in your status update....they will not last long then! |

Hi 
I'm a genuine single lad.
I'd happily pay Fab Swingers a £50 membership fee but to be honest I'm not having much luck on here and am not sure it would be good value for money at the moment.
Don't get me wrong, it's a great site and I appreciate that it'll take time for me to earn the trust of other members before I get to meet them (videos would be good though)
I've tried other expensive sites such as AFF but it had so many fakes and scammers that I had to cancel my membership 
Perhaps there should be a genuine name and shame list when members are found to be fake or time wasters etc...?  |

If you've had meets and are reliable, who cares whether some people think you're fake. You know you aren't, and would you really want to meet people who think you are? |

if you name and shame on your status update admin may warning you about it if it gets reports.
and chances are the person/s your complaining about will have friends who will report you also.

Idiots come in all forms: single males and females and couples alike. As it was mentioned earlier, punishing the majority for the wrongs of the few is unfair. |

why do you regard your self as tarred with the same brush ???
is it due to your messages being deleted or just not replied too ?
if it is then you have to realise this is due to the vast no. of single guys on here , they are not second class members but they out number the cpls and single fems by such an amount that they do appear to be that way to some |

"Why tax the genuine singles because of the timewasters. There's plenty of couples and single fems that mess us around and get away with it."
we've been messed around only by single females which has put us off meeting from here I think we will be sticking to the clubs from now on

I'd go for a £50 joining fee... if it was £100 for couples!
I get the sentiment behind the idea but its the wrong way to sort the problem of fake profiles. And the simple way of getting around your idea is to register as a couple!
I am one of many genuine single men who find it difficult enough to make connections without more hoops to jump through. We are victims of the fake profiles as well... |

I don't understand this.
To be tarred with any brush you must give people some reason for the tarring.
Personally I find it quite refreshing and flattering when people I chat with and/or meet tell me how much they like the fact that I'm not one of those idiots.
I'll not give any tips out here as idiots can read too, but for anyone with half an once of intelligence it's not difficult to work out how to avoid being tarred with any brushes. |

Payed for sites have the same problem with single guys, woman and couples who join pretending to be genuine so I wouldn't recommend ruining this site and suggesting fees.
As it is you can opt for additional site benefits for those who want them and willing to pay.
So far I have found this site more genuine than others so the site managers have got something right.
Good people come to those who wait and like in the real world you have to find the right ones! |

Don't forget the NUS and OAP discounts, and family membership *cough*

ha ha, I would love to meet the family membership people, that could be real fun and a huge orgy. And maybe if gran ma and da were involved they would get extra discount.
Saying that I've seen films with family's like that in them and are usually quite disturbing so maybe I will give family invites a miss |

What... the waltons?
I just know that if you start charging big money there'll be groups of people asking for discount eligibilities. I don't think charging will make the site any better than it is, nor will it make the clientele better than it is. I think the current arrangements to get extra functionality out of the site for a small consideration is probably the best way of doing it. People fuck for free, so the networking should be free too - that's my opinion.

You're right.
Make access free but but make the available 'goodies' sufficiently attractive to justify continued participation. |

The site managers/hosts are or use to be swingers so I am sure the thought and effort has gone into making their site beneficial to most.
I am also sure that the revenue gained from having this site up and running and from most of what I can see successful is enough. To bring in extra charges will seem to be greedy and no doubt loose a lot of site users.
And yes wolf the waltons
Saying that most are probably dead so not much of a family orgy there |

Charging a fee for single guys would not change a thing. You can't change someones personality.
The main thing I take issue with on charging a fcee to single guys would be the 'entitlement' issue.
I have already seen the words '£50 wouldn't necessarily offer value for money'. What extra services do people expect. I just feel that with the introduction of a fee some men would have the mindset that they are entitled to meets/sex. There are already men on here that beliewe just because a woman is on here and showing sexy pictures of herself, that she should be up for sex with whoever asks. Why else do we have so many 'I can't get a meet, what do I have to do' type threads.
Bringing in a charge would see an increase in those kind of expectations and a sense of entitlement and would lead to further abuse to women when they don't get what they expect. |

A lot of negativity towards us single guys... believe me there are many many fakes on here and from my point of view most of them are profiles of single women with more than a few couples as well! |

Heartily agree. They are easy to spot and charging for the site will put everyone off, and won't work anyway. You just have to modify your arsehole filter a bit.
Fakes usually have all the criteria the poster above mentioned. Plus they usually go quiet when you start mentioning definite times/dates to meet.
You're never going to narrow the field for yourself in this way. |

A lot of people don't have static ip addresses anymore, so no that wouldn't work.
And who decides on the criteria of a timewaster?
And would the person banned get refund on their £50.
And who would wish the administrative nightmare on the people who run the site?
Its fine as it is, you just need to lower your expectations of the amount of.meets you're likely to get. Improve the way you choose who you'd like to meet by only mailing ones who match you, and be on the lookout for the telltale signs of a fake. |

High single guy fees don't discourage the numpties who go to clubs.
And this is from a fan of the single guys!
In fact, the outright idiots seem to believe that because they have paid a high fee they are entitled. That the ladies shouldn't be saying no thanks or just chatting with friends - after all, don't we realize they need to get their money's worth!!!  |

no it wouldnt stop all the idiots and timewasters .firstly ive been on paid sites and still get them as people have said . secondly its not only single guys who waste time and act like prats and are rude ,its across all catigories .
what stops these people is using the tools the site gives you (filters and blocking) .also and most importantly using your own commom sense and judgement.
as for comment that was posted about singles guys being tarred with the same brush .... utter rubbish !!! as a female looking for single guys i can assure you that its because of the guys who act like idiots ect that make the decent guys stand out even more and shine like a beacon on here ! plenty of single guys get meets and have no issues talking to people ,so ask why then that is ?? its just a convient excuse to blame others behaviour for your own lack of sucess . |

As I pay the site supporter fee every month I'm currently spending £60 a year already.
A membership fee would make little difference to who joins and who doesn't. As I've often said before - personally I feel compulsorily photo verification would be the best alternative if any - at least the sex and single/couple status would in some way be verified - but you'd still get those that don't interact in the positive way the majority do.
The present nature of the site works fine if you adopt a sensible and common sense approach to your comminication and meet planning. If anyone is regularly struggling with so called 'time wasters' - it's more than likely an indication that your methods and approach aren't right, rather than a site problem!
Good luck and enjoy, one and all! |

I'm a member of another site which would be quite expensive if I didn't get free membership for modding the forum.
I'm also here twice, once as a single male, and another as a couple with a FB.
The other place is awash with scammers and time-wasters, I just raised it with admin yet again, so no, this idea won't work.

The one thing that does annoy me a bit on this site isn't timewasters, it's the constant slagging off of single men! I think some people need to improve the way they go about hooking up with others if they're so beset by these problems. |

i don't think a fee would stop time wasters. plenty of people have money to spend on wasting other peoples time. what would we do when £50 a year doesn't work? make it £50 a month?
secondly i have a real life girlfriend on here as a single woman. she has been harassed by a couple where the wife backed out after agreeing to meet but the hub wanted to meet on her on his own & wouldn't take no thanks for an answer and today she has just been let down by a very genuine sounding lady with a sick child. so its not just single guys who have to cancel . |

Jodie's hit it on the head as usual. Tighten your arsehole filter (NO sniggering at the back!!!)
That means both the REAL filters available on the site AND some of your own. Amazes me how many people taken whatever anyone tells them in a chat room as being the truth!

No would make no different at all....
We are on another pay site that's monthly fee is pretty expensive and it still has 'pretend couples' and 'timewasters' on it.

Totally agree with all of the above
But totally disagree with other posters saying that single men are the 'lowest of the low' etc
You get idiots on here the same as in life. Theses can be single men, single women or couples, the one thing they have in common is they get less meets than the people who are not idiots. The people actually going out, having meets etc rarely go on line to complain about it so on the forums it is nearly all complaints
As long as filters are in place, people read profiles and delete and block idiots then nothing needs to change - apart from the attitude and behaviour of some of these 'idiots' |

I'm a genuine guy and I come here for fun and to join in the banter. Why would I pay an extra £50 and how does paying that prove I'm genuine?
I don't see the logic. All it will do is get rid of those who can't afford to pay it and potentially lose the opportunity for a genuine couple/female to miss out on some fun.

It won't solve the problem and there are plenty of genuine single guys that just don't have £50 to spend on a yearly membership. Likewise trolls and timewasters are still likely to pay to continue doing what they do as people have said.
I'd rather put my £50 into stuff like fuel to travel to someone to save them the effort. Drink to provide for the evening. Money to take someone out for a meal or the cinema etc. I'd rather actually spend my money on a person. |

so to be genuine it will cost £50?
why stop there, why not go for £100
disposable income is no gtee of being genuine!
besides by law you'd have to charge everyone the same...
it won't be long before the clubs have to fall in line and the only reason they haven't done so far is because every one is to scared to complain to the local authorities/trading standards.. |

So why limit the fee to just guys are you saying only guys are timewasters and idiots ?...because if you are your very much mistaken
I don't see anywhere that the OP says the fee is for single guys only.
Think its the thread title."
Ooops, so it is. Well in that case he has a bit of a cheek! |

see i don't believe this "all tarred with the same brush" pish..... that is too easy an excuse...
what I do believe is that you have the oppotunity to stand out for the right reasons, and to stand out for the wrong ones..... in the end that is up to you, but the "arse" gene is strong... and in the end if you are an arse... you'll be found out.....
an arse in an arse regardless.. and in a way I like the site exactly as it is now, because you tend to be able to figure out who was born with the "arse" gene rather quickly....
i do think the 50 pound suggestion is a cynical way of "shedding some men/competition".... (i pay my silver membership every 60 days.... 30 quid a year... my decision no one elses!)

"From experience the majority of single guys on this site are time wasters..."
With respect, your profile states you only meet single men...ergo, your experiences with time-wasters will relate to single men.
I meet with women and couples, my experiences are that couples waste more of my time than single women.
If you insist on making sweeping statements why not use a more accurate one: cretins waste peoples time irregardless of their relationship status. |

I think to state "the majority of single guys on this site are time wasters" is either a poor choice of or words or ridiculous sweeping statement.
The only way to prove it is if you actually know each single guy...or know someone who does.
Even then, you run into the issue of what constitutes a time waster? A couple last week created a thread saying, in their opinion, that not receiving a reply to their messages constituted time wasting. Does that count?
As I said earlier, everyone at some stages meets a time waster in some way, shape or form. It's not gender specific, it is down to that person/couple not having basic good manners. |

You have nine male verifications in six months, so you must have been messed around and set-up meets, dozens and dozens of times to come to that conclusion.
You must have some experience then!! |

No, I strongly disagree.
I'm a genuine guy and have had enough hassle with time wasters and pretenders on here.
The last thing I'd want is to pay £50 for the privilege of being messed about!

why just charge single men?
I've had single women most as time wasters.
I have met some wonderful men on here and now have a joint account with one.
i also find that couples are the rudest of people on here.
charging single men isn't fair nor a good idea in my opinion  |

"admin dont do anything i have reprted someone and i got no reply and they are still on here "
You won't get a reply, Admin don't have time to reply to everyone that sends them a message.
Just because someone is still here, does not mean they have not been punished as not turning up for a meet would not really get them banned from the site. They could either get:-
a) their profile stripped
b) a ban from sending messages for 24 or 48 hrs
c) a ban from the forums for 24 or 48 hrs
The problem with banning someone from a site is that they could just come back under a different name |

Thats not quite right, people only get forum bans for something they have done on the forums and I have never known anyone to get blocked from sending messages unless they are disabled altogether. Getting a rofile stripped is because something on it is against rules.
Here is an explanation from Admin from another thread on how they deal with reports.
******Just a quick note. If people report others and we can verify that they have broken site rules, we always take action (either a first and final warning, partially suspended account, fully suspended, mixture of the above).
Every single report sent via the REPORT link is reviewed. Clearly it's not in our interests to have people on here who are bad for the site. Equally we need to verify what has been reported and be fair to those who have been reported.
Admin
PS. we never provide feedback on what has happened. It's just not practical given that we get 100s of reports a day.
Here is what the page says after a report has been submitted:
--
Your feedback has been saved.
A website admin will shortly review your feedback and take the necessary action. After reviewing the evidence available to us, we may disable an account, remove a user, disable certain aspects of that user's account or issue a warning.
By leaving feedback you help improve the site for everyone who uses it. Thank you.****** |

Does op propose that once paid the joining fee a single guy then alsopays the monthly fee to become a gold or silver member? As it is now, if you subscribe to gold you pay the best part of £50/ annum , and £30 silver!!!!! |

"Stupid idea and because of that I'm out  "
...lol but I agree that there are a lot of genuine single males out there, like me, who are 100% genuine and it just wouldn't be fair and would definitely deter membership. This site works because you owners aren't being too greedy and making swinging affordable to all. Good work |
