Give warnings of any violation
After being a long-standing user of Grindr, making use of all it has to offer in a respectful and honest way, two days ago my account got randomly banned. No warning. My profile had not changed and in my mind did not overtly break the guidelines. I would like warnings on such drastic action please...as this would help users to rectify any unintentional violation of Grindr‘a rules or guidelines. Removing a users account immediately without warning wipes away the access to a supportive network of people that user has come to know and trust. It also isolates the user at…

Add warning and reason for a ban
I got banned for no reason out of the blue with no warning or explanation. I think sometimes someone just gets their feelings hurt cause I don’t respond or say I’m not interested and they report people for that. I’m not doing anything wrong but got banned. Why? Make this stop! So annoying!

Notify me when action has been taken against a user I blocked
I would like some kind of progress or notification that action has been taken against people who I have blocked. I receive far too many nude photos and I want to see that slow down.

Restrict Pictureless Profiles
Profiles without any public pictures should not be able to send messages to members who do. These profiles are a pain.
It can be taken one step further by making verified public face photos only accessible for viewing as long as the viewing profile has a verified public face picture as well. No tug of war over who sends first.

Straight seeking trans only do not belong on this app.
Straight seeking trans only do not belong on this app. It fetishizes trans people for straight guys in a disgustingly predatory way.

Many, many fake profiles - you don't police users who keep setting up dozens of new profiles daily
Police your users better to stop all the fake profiles and spam. Dozens of fakes added daily near me. Scruff doesn't have this problem.

Profile Picture Double Standard
Definitely seeing a double standard when it comes to profile pictures. White “sexy” bodies get to be nude but no one else does?

age filter and limiter
I would like to request if we can have the race option back as we all have different tastes in people we like and feel this is taking away our choices to limit our search.
Also in the new version update as of 31 January 2022, the age filter only allows you to search for 25-29 instead of searching for one age group only. We dont want to search for ages 4 years apart at times. Please can this be restored.

full of trans women
There are far too many trans women on grindr, it alienates the original intended users(GAY MEN).
Many of those trans women openly state they hate men and no CIS male should contact them,
looking at my own blocklist they are 95% trans women and there are literally HUNDREDS in that list with at least 5-10 new ones EVERY DAY, it doesn't help that those profiles pull in new profiles of people who aren't gay but only seek trans partners,
further pushing out the main demographic with potentially threatening reactions from those people.
Make a different app for them and remove…12 votes -

Block messages from faceless profiles
Strongly suggest adding the ability to block messages from either faceless profiles or profiles without pictures. I spend more time deleting messages from profiles that are either closeted, liars, or scammers. Most of these (but not all) come from profiles without pictures. Most Grindr users state they won’t respond to these profiles so why not just add the ability (perhaps to extra subscribers) to block these.

Allow nude profile pics with paid subscription
The free app has to be G rated, but when you pay a monthly fee it should be M rated w/nude profile pics. BC in reality this is a GAY HOOKUP SEX SITE! Everyone usually shares the same X pics anyway

Block "user" and new accounts they may create
Many users make a new account every week. Like on Instagram we should be able to block a user and all the accounts they will make in the future.

tell reason of ban to users
i got two accounts banned from the app and had to predict what was the reason, and often this happen to many users.
this idea may help someone that wants to be a better person in the app

Blocking Overhaul
There’s a big blind spot in the reporting system where if a user blocks you, you can no longer report them. People take advantage of this, for example, by saying inflammatory things and then blocking you before you can submit a report for moderation. I think a way this can be addressed is by revamping the block system into a mute and/or hide function so the person that wants to end the interaction can, but the transcript is still accessible so if community guidelines are violated, there’s still the ability to report and address those violations.
