Banned no explanation ???
Stopped using app
Plenty of other sites

My profile was banned twice, The first time someone realized I shouldn't have been and reopened my account. Now I have been banned again, I have sent heaps of messages asking why but I only get a generated response. Now the system has blocked my email add

I’ve been banned and can’t find out why, stopped using app

👎 Terrible idea to give a big tech company more info about you considering the history of large company data breaches. A better idea would be for Grindr to prove a "block multiple people at once" feature so you could quickly and easily rid the grid of everything you're not interested in and focus more on what you like.

My account got banned for NO REASON, I was talking to a friend about another friend who passed away and now I can't contact my friend now, I put in to review it and remove the ban but A COMPUTER keeps replying with the same ANSWER, a real person would listen and REMOVE IT not discriminate and upset me,...
How would you feel about not being able to find out about YOUR FRIENDS FUNERAL, you'd be devastated wouldn't you....?

Obviously there are a LOT of fake profiles and spam profiles out there.

It would be much easier to identify a fake profile IF a new account user was NOT allowed to turn OFF the distance on the profile for 30 days, for example.

This would quickly alert us to pay extra special attention to messages from hundreds or thousands miles away.

Broken English and other terms would be more obvious as well to your subscribers.

If I suspect a new account (not showing distance) of being spam, I ask them "WHAT CITY" they are in. If they beat around the bush and don't answer the question, they are suspect.

I found that this eliminates 95% of the spammers making contact with me. I report every one!

SHOWING THE DISTANCE IN NEW PROFILES would perhaps help alert others to this issue of this spam problem.

Thank you for listening.

Yes, it is time to find a new platform for meeting. They are not regulating Grndr at all and it’s become the Bot Zone for fake Profiles! I read that it’s owned by a homophobic man also... Is this true? I haven’t eaten Jesus Chicken in years because of this behavior. Why would I give someone else money???

Bots & Spam
I have cancelled my subscription to Grindr many times. What brings me back, of course, is the extremely rare chance that I may actually MEET someone. For fun, ***, friendship, whatever. What drives me away frequently are all the Bots who respond to my profile. I mean, who falls for this stuff? Any time any handsome, young, far-away lad IMs me, I assume they aren't real. They've gotten clever. They ask for my phone #. They insist they ARE real. What is the point of all this? Does Grindr profit in some way from FAKE profiles?
It's too much. It's a waste of time and energy. I would NEVER pay to subscribe to this service. If it's not bots, it's suffering through ads for ridiculous video games and apps. What a waste. I feel dirty.

It's absolutely disgusting that people can get away with things like sending you death threats & nasty messages only for them to block you before you can report their foul behavior. LET US REPORT THESE PEOPLE AFTER THEY BLOCK US

Yet another man has been brutally attacked by people with a fake Grindr account. This has to stop and I will not be using the app until they implement this feature and start protecting their users.
They are showing themselves to have utter disregard or even contempt for their audience and anyone with any self-respect should boycott until they acknowledge this and implement changes

Please let me know who or why

Also give us an option to report Repeat Profiles. In my area there are a few creeps that make new profiles a few times a week, why should I have to continually block them? One account per device, with verified email, it's not that hard.

Almost 12k votes and still not under review, what a surprise.They're still owned by the company run by a guy that believes marriage is only between a man and woman. It's overrun with spam bots, cat fish, underage, prostitutes, and druggies.

Cancel your subs and use other platforms.

Just use one of the competitors apps.
Romeo is quite popular in Europe, just needs to have more users in USA Aust and NZ

Hi! I very much agree with this idea. I had an incident on grindr the other day that made me think of something very similar. My idea would include verifying a person's photo ID. It would be optional but would include some way of knowing whether another profile has been verified.

This app has turned into nothing but a fake profile app... I get dozens of these a day, literally. They all have several things in common.
There are about 5 different men that a photo of will be attached to the profile.
They almost always have either an animal pictured with them, or they have some military picture.
They tap you
They start off with Hello Handsome, or some ridiculously worded phrase about how a hello comes not from the lips, but from the heart.
They are almost always 32-35 years old, no matter if the photo looks 18 or 60
They are almost always around 200 miles away, no matter where you are. I travel all over the world, and the same few profile pictures are always 200 miles from me no matter what state or country I am in.
The messages sometimes show up as sent from iExplore or something to that effect.
They have a heart emoji, LTR, or something similar in their profile name.
They are always looking for an LTR
No amount of blocking or reporting the profiles as any category will stop them. I've blocked as many as 2 dozen of the same profile photo in a single day, and new ones then magically appear again.

I actually believe that these profiles are created and perpetrated by Grindr itself, to try to puff up their numbers. I was planning on cancelling my subscription, but got distracted by life and it got through for another 3 months. Fine, take my $29.99. I don't know who the **** would pay $79.99 for 3 months of harassment by fake profiles, but I guarantee you the it isn't being paid by any of the dozens of fake profiles I block per day.

Better quality pictures! they look awful on Grindr!

I agree I have been banned for a week and no explanation as to why. I have been a long long time member with no problems before this. I want an explanation!

I have been banned for nearly a week with no explanation as to why! I have been a customer for many years and according to you guildlines I haven’t done anything wrong. Can you please let me know what is going on?

No where close to 90% of profiles are fake. I don't use any social media, does that mean I shouldn't have this app either?
