Thanks for feedback on Anti-fraud tools
|
Will there be any "anti stalking" tools implemented in the near or even distant future? And I have emailed, called etc, to no avail...

This is total B.S. I am gold paying member for over three years and if I want to send my email address or phone number on the initial contact what business is that of yours. What in the hell am I paying a gold membership for?

The only abuse mail I send out to .. is members of my group who have no respect for me or others .. as for complaining .. It was a privilege that was taken away from US .. not just me .. so kindly direct ur rudeness elsewhere !!! Oh btw thanks for posting this in the CEO's blog .. I truly believe you are stalking me once again ... maybe u should let it go eh !!! I only ignore and block rude and obsessed members who cannot abide by my group rules ... everyone who runs a group on this site have their own rules !!! Well if it looks good on me .. it looks worse on you .. cause now who is gonna email you ?? A paying member ... I think not !! Luvpump sorry for the intrusion .. of my rant ... but it was something that needed to be said ... Oh and thanks for accepting my network invite  Then you lied to me. That is NOT on with me. Unlike what you may think, I am NOT going to forget it. Steve

Buddy I think your new policy punishes those of us who are already paying members. Now I have to pay to be a Gold member and to have someone to respond to my email at least twice and there is still no assurance that person might be a spammer or a bot. How about you have your people do their job! I can spot phonies on this site in the hour or two I spend here just reading the profiles and looking for inconsistancies. How about making everyone pay? A spammer or bot is not going to want to pay if they will lose the money when they are caught. It might cut down on the number of members initially but I would rather have fewer REAL people than the fakes, spammers and bots the site has now. I know you are in the business of making money, but how about a bit of customer satisefaction for those of us who already pay, otherwise I can tell you I will not renew my membership. post 370563

also, one thing...the chat rooms here dont filter out other websites, maybe they should...I think that is one reason why they join up here too, cause they can just flood the chat rooms with adverts for the website. It is especially popular in the busier topical chat rooms like the hot tub and cyberfantasy chat room (and some of the others too). And probably should have those same filters for the IMC too.

my group has been the victim of your new protocols to stop fraud. my group description which has gone unchanged for the few years since it's creation. however, with these new anti-fraud rules my group's description was reviewed and my group denied because my group description allegedly had contact information in it. there is no contact information in the descriptionl. there are no email addresses, phone numbers, instant message, etc. in the description. my group description only has what the group is about, the city we're in, and the set day and time that we hold chats in the group chatroom, nothing else. i sent the description for update in the hopes that when you reviewed it you would see your error. however, the group was denied again. what's going on and what can i do? this is upsetting a very successful and active group. all these changes instead of improving is making things worse. i don't know if this some sort of error bug of yours but what can i do to get my group active again. here is the group i'm talking about if you want to review the decription, BBWS in houston . the onlyt thing else i can try is blanking the description which is ridiculous, or removing our chat times since i don't know what your reviewers is mistakenly viewing as contact information. please, help  sweetnurse25

Today I had an abuse/threat incident that I reported and I'll expain that in the context of this Anti-Fraud thread. There have been obvious changes to the IM and email info (which really is not contact info, only communication info). I have a strong belief that this is pointless in the broad scheme of things - more a facade than real security of people. I've written about this many times to the support folks. And called, them and have had very bizarre answers regarding this. Contact info helps people track someone down physically. Identity theft uses phsysical contact info and personal info. DOB is personal info that should be hidden to cut fraud, identity theft, etc. I've had support folks tell me to fake my DOB, to prevent ID theft. Well, if faking it is suggested, that proves that it does not have to be on the site. Year and Month are really plenty for anyone to have for a personal's site. Today I saw a comment to one of my advice line postings. The creator of the Question, posted a very non-veiled suggestion that I should be hung (killed) which is an illegal threat in anyone's most narrow view. I reported it online, and I called to back it up. I paid for the call since we who pay for gold no longer have a toll free line. Rather than taking action against the person/profile of the one who made the threat, your staff person simply removed his comment. Now, by looking at that AL question, he will clearly know that I reported him. Talk about VICTIMIZATION to the highest degree, this is unbelievable. Not only was I targeted once by a member who often makes prejudicial remarks, I was slam dunked by the failure of the abuse reporting process to take him offline. So, if I get this right, legal posting of ones communication info is met with heavy, swift inactivation of that person's account, but death threats which are a more serious TOS violation, are an illegal action are met with action against the person who complained. In effect, your site and staff become party to his illegal action as further supporting his ability to continue and to see who that someone turned him in. What am I missing here?
