Unless located in a country with anti-gay legislation, members with unspecified fields on their profile should not get to see or filter by those fields on other profiles. This would encourage members to fully complete their profile, in a way that supports their privacy and discretion without a mandate. It would also inspire a much-needed culture of fair play and non-discrimination on the app.
Something like this needs to be done to help put an end to incomplete and blank profiles. With more detailed profiles available in the community, members would enjoy easier browsing, more effective filtering, and overall better connections. The user experience would improve tenfold.

My account was just banned and I have absolutely no clue why. I've been using Grindr for... who knows how long. My account was just banned and I'm now waiting for customer service to get back to me so I can (hopefully) find out why and dispute the issue. I have no problem falling in line with the community guidelines - I had no idea I was even breaking them if that's the case, or if I was reported by a user I still have no clue why.

Grindr - is there any reason for this draconian level of enforcement? I've Googled around and I see I'm not the only one in this predicament.

From a customer service perspective this is beyond appalling and I wish you guys would do better. You're not exactly doing any justice for the community with this sort of virtual law enforcement.

Imagine being pulled over by a cop for having a tail light out (that you didn't know about) and being arrested and sent to jail.

This is what this is.

As an XTRA subscriber who's not into internet hookups, I filter my cascade for profiles looking for "Friends, Dates, + Relationships." However, profiles looking for "Friends, Right Now, and Chat" will still pop up (for example), and, upon further inspection, it becomes clear that these profiles are only interested in "Right Now," which renders the filter useless. To fix this, please integrate a toggle for a search modifier of “ONLY” into the filter, so that our searches generate more reliable results that better reflect the matches we are looking for.

Example:
When selecting "Friends, Dates, + Relationships" in the “Looking For” field of our search:
• Grindr's current default will return profiles that are looking for: Friends only, Dates only, Relationships only, or any combination that includes at least one of the three—like "Friends and Right Now" or "Dates and Chat" or "Friends, Dates, Relationships, and Right Now."
• Setting the search modifier to “ONLY” will return profiles that are looking for: Friends only, Dates only, Relationships only, two of the three, or all three combined—but no combinations outside of what is specified in the filter.

This will improve the XTRA experience and make it 100x more meaningful, by allowing subscribers to filter more effectively.

For those of us XTRA/Unlimited subscribers who need to take a break from Grindr due to work-related, health-related, or relationship-related reasons, it would be helpful if we could freeze our subscription so we don’t lose the remaining time we’ve paid for. Since we can’t request refunds, at least don’t penalize us when conflicts arise in our personal life that demand us to step away from the app for a bit. You can still keep our money, just give us the option to freeze. This would be especially helpful for those of us on year-long subscriptions.
(To prevent users from freezing for just one or two days at a time to simply extend their membership, you can set a two-week minimum on freezes. And to encourage users to return to the app—or else forfeit the remaining days/months on their subscription—you can place a freeze limit of six months.)
Please implement this socially responsible feature for your paying customers. Thank you
