Should this be compulsory for all members new and old?

Thoughts please....

Maybe it could get rid of some or most of the fakes

Think it should be compulsory, for sure it wouldn't out all the fakes or people not interested in meeting, but it would get rid of a few and stop others in joining.

Why would a profile with multiple verifications need (or want) photo verification?

Seems pointless if people have met face to face!

And given the number of profiles found using web pics that are both photo AND meet verified - the best solution to fakes/timewasters is, and always will be common sense, sensible approaches to engaging with others and a sense of realism!

A great way to prove you're genuine.

1: Hand write FabSwingers and your username on a piece of paper

2: Photograph yourselves holding the paper (your hands must be visible) (photo should show your faces OR full length nude if you want to hide your face).

3: Upload using this link. Photo is 100% private. (If emailing in, use subject "verification").

We check the verification photo matches your photos and account (if a couple we need to see you both). Once approved your profile will show as "photo-verified" .

Just because they're verified to meet doesn't mean they'll meet you. It's a very fine line between wanting to meet people and expecting people to meet simply because they're here. People have their individual pace when it comes to this site and it should be respected.

the photo verification won't actually guarantee that the profile pic they are using is genuine. it only verifies that the account genuinely belongs to a man, woman, couple.i personally met a couple of people for coffee who's profile pic was..... shall we say...dated. there really isn't any way other than a face to face meeting to guarantee that pics are genuine.

Not negative at all...in fact my post is positive... I'm positive it won't make much difference, we don't seem to have the problems people complain about and if our verifications by meet aren't a good enough indicator that we are genuinely who we say we are and genuinely meet then how being photo verified will help, I don't know...Fab works very well for us the way it is because we use the tools provided to us by the site well...

Meet and/or cam verifications are to easy to fake in order to appear genuine.

Surely adding the photo veri process to membership will help reduce the HUGE amount of fakes on here.

This!

The site is nothing more than a means of browsing, chatting and looking to meet.

It owes nobody meets, isn't responsible for hand holding or managing (often unrealistic) expectations.

There are many sure users who use the tools available, meet regularly - and seem to have no issue with all these fakes and timewasters people are constantly bemoaning.

Quite how people so often get duped or led on is beyond me. You'd think after it happening once or twice people would change their methods of selection and the ways they approach and react to others.

But sadly, I guess not!

It used to be a face you needed to show but they changed it a long while ago and you could have a body shot if you wanted without the face.

If yours was rejected it would have been for something else, ie wrong usrname, not put both the site and username on etc.

i disagree that facepics should be compulsory. many don't have them on the profile, myself included, because they are being discrete for their often reasons. many genuine people would leave rather than compromise their ability to be discrete.... and fakers would still find a way to fake.

I'm not fake. I'm not photo verified because I don't want to be. If the site were to make it compulsory, I'd leave.

It's that simple.

I don't think it would deter the fakes either. Loads of fakes are photo verified.

The best defence against fakes is a good selection process.

The only reason I can see to get photo verified is if you can't get verified by meeting. Just because someone's been photo verified doesn't mean they will actually meet. You can usually tell if someone is genuine very quickly so why worry?

And if you want to check what they look like, ask for a quick chat on cam. Some won't do that but most will.

You may be entirely happy with there being a photo of your face with a sign saying your username and fabswingers.com out there on the Internet but a lot of people won't be.

Once that photo is sent to anyone else, it's completely out of your control. Sites can be hacked, computer equipment can be stolen, backups can be lost...

A lot of people on here would not want that photo out there.

When you get photo verified know one sees that pic apart from fab ,even ppl who want to be discreet on here have to upload a face pic at some point to send to the person there chatting to ,now think about this for a moment ,if fab changed it to were everyone had to be photo verified and im talking about a face pic only wile holding a sign up saying your username so fab knows this is your account ,now theres no way you could upload a different face pic because fab would know about it and not approve it ,so when you ask to see a face pic of someone and they send it to you ,you will know its really them

I have been on the other end of fake profiles, not funny if your not clued up.

Hiding and lying about things is beyond me, makes it harder for single ladies and men and couples ect.

But I can't see a photo veri abolishing that.

"When you get photo verified know one sees that pic apart from fab ,even ppl who want to be discreet on here have to upload a face pic at some point to send to the person there chatting to ,now think about this for a moment ,if fab changed it to were everyone had to be photo verified and im talking about a face pic only wile holding a sign up saying your username so fab knows this is your account ,now theres no way you could upload a different face pic because fab would know about it and not approve it ,so when you ask to see a face pic of someone and they send it to you ,you will know its really them "

I repeat... once that photo is sent, it is out of your control. Sites can be hacked, computer equipment can be stolen, backups can be lost...

Plus, thousands upon thousands of photos are uploaded to fab. Does it really sound practical to you that every single one is checked against a verification photo? In that case those photos are available not only to the admins but to every picture mod. And if one photo mod happens to leave their computer or 'phone logged on, others could get access.

And some people do not have any face photos on fab at all.

If you want to check someone looks like their photo ask them for a quick cam chat.

"It isn't a recent change....would it make any difference which way round you do it if you were a fake....plus why would people PV at all if they were fake?

You may be entirely happy with there being a photo of your face with a sign saying your username and fabswingers.com out there on the Internet but a lot of people won't be.

Once that photo is sent to anyone else, it's completely out of your control. Sites can be hacked, computer equipment can be stolen, backups can be lost...

A lot of people on here would not want that photo out there."

"I might have read it wrong, but can't you get a veri just by being naked and holding a piece of paper over your face, as for veri in person, two accounts

You have to show your face when getting photo verified

No you don't.

Read the site FAQs

Mine was refused initially as I didn't show my face. Think it's like all things to do with admin, depends who you get.

Clck on one of your photos now and what does it say at the bottom of it? At the end of the day thats the risk we take when uploading pics on the internet ,were taking a risk uploading pics on any social network sites

I can absolutely see why some people wouldn't want a photo of their face, their username and the site address out there.

Even if it's a small chance that anything bad could result from it, why take the chance?

Government departments can lose secure data, for goodness sake, and the protocols and procedures in place to protect that should be superior to the practices wherever the Fab servers are located.

And that's another potential problem. The people who run and maintain the servers may well also have access to the photos. There's no way for us to know for sure.

This is not "any social network site". The press have no interest in outing facebook users.

It's a bit easier to claim someone else put my photo on the site or added the watermark than it is to claim it's not actually me holding a piece of paper with the username and site address on!

Which is why I'll never ever get photo verified and never send face pics via this site

I can see no need at all for people to be PV, I've never looked to see if any of the people I'm planning on meeting are PV.

People's friends and family know they are on Facebook, usually! I doubt many advertise to them that they are on here! It's not the same thing at all.

Facebook = public life

Fab = private life, that most would prefer remained private!

Why do people think that someone uploading a face pic is going to be the answer to all their 'problems' ?

It isn't.

It won't get you more meets.

It won't stop potential timewasters. (Who are easy to ignore/avoid)

it is what it is.... there is a risk everytime you load pics on the internet. If the risk is too great, don't do it.

I personally think there should be more transparency on who actually has access to my pics/messages if they are private and what is the governance around monitoring their integrity. But that won't happen so it is a case of upload and you accept the risk.

again, it is what it is.

Exactly. So I'm happy to have watermarked photos here because my face photos aren't public and I have plausible deniability.

I can't deny holding the piece of paper, if that photo ever came out so I won't take one or upload one to the Internet.

I considered the potential risk of each and made my decision as EVERY member of fab should be entitled to do.

The 'problem' is often not the easily spotted fake profiles - it's those too driven by the horn to use common sense and simple actions to avoid getting sucked in.

As big a 'problem' as fakes are - the reason they're still around is because so many are too stupid and careless to take simple precautions!

Not necessarily.

"Something has to be done" is not quite the same as saying "in my opinion something needs to be done/should be done".

I think you need to think about what some of the other posters have written and consider why you seem to think fakes are so much more of a serious problem than many others do, and whether there isn't something you could do about it, without expecting the site to address it and impose change on everyone.
