Hi,

Please block and prevent anyone selling or proposing “chems”, at least in France! Those are illegal chemical killing drugs and the French-Paris gay community is dying out of it because it’s too easy to get access to those killing drugs. But that’s not a reason for Grindr to become more and more a chems-drugs selling platform! I’ve reported so many drug dealers (see my profile) but they come back with the exact same picture and same description proposing drugs! This is, not only illegal, but criminal from Grindr! People are dying from it !!! I like Grindr but if the situation does not change within 2 weeks, I’ll go to French AND EUROPEAN Court and ask for the app to be fully and completely blocked as a full drug dealer “on line” and be punished for it! Beware! Act or I’ll do!

Kind regards,

Carlos De Oliveira

Yes, I need this. I'm TIRED of guys with no face pic contacting me to send their pic only after I answer them and reveal they are (very) unatracttive. If the guy don't have any face pic, you can KNOW he is unatracttive.

Using email-addresses and complicated phone number workarounds is just so last season. Using snapchat style instant photo would require no third-party apps or anything.

That Grindr find a better way of identification choice, like scanning driver's license and email it?

The most easy and effective way to verify someone is to have an "instant photo snap" feature on Grindr itself, similar to that of Snapchat. The selfie is taken at that very instant with the user's camera, so the user cannot send a photo from library, thus making it very difficult to appear as someone else.

The verification with phone number is more than enough. WhatsApp has been doing that for years and it works.

To have a new phone number in most countries you need to buy a new chip and activate it with your respective documents. That would be enough to find anyone AND to stop the spread of fake profiles.

Facebook is the WRONG way to verify users. First, anybody can set up a fake Facebook account. Second, many people do not have, and do not want, a Facebook account. They could at least have some kind of CAPTCHA or whatever when new accounts are created, that might slow down the number of fake or spam profiles. Or use the phone number of the user, send a verification code via text message.

Stop trans escorts and scammer and their repeat profiles. Reported profiles are up for over 15 hours and repeat profiles are abundant. It's a joke.

Passport Identification number perhaps? Because fakes can just bypass it with numbers.city < virtual phone agency website

Allowing users to use nonexistent email addresses is an invitation for spammers and fake accounts, which are already plentiful.

A more intelligent way to reduce these types of users and provide a safer environment would be to use phone verification like Tinder and many other apps now do.

The prevalence of *** workers in Grindr is astonishing to say the least. Reporting them is a waste of time, not only are those reports mostly ignored but if those violators are banned they quickly create a new account using a fake email address.

Talking about moderators, it's amazing how many profile photos violate your community guidelines, seems there is a great deal of inconsistencies amongst moderators. Most of these profiles are of young guys, which I suspect Grindr is biased towards. Maybe you should consider the fact that these younger users seldom take up subscriptions. Us older folks are continually harassed by moderators who are petty and not very frindly.

And stop the people that can send a message without marking yours read somehow.

Nothing wrong with no pic. This is 2019 and the internet is riddled with scammers, stalkers and catfishers so those idiots with their obsessive NPNC mantra should appreciate that while there comes a point where a pic may be essential it is not needed in the opening messages where you just check that you are otherwise compatible.

From my experience of actually talking first I have found the faceless people eventually to be drop dead gorgeous because, quite understandably, they have found no pic to be a very useful tool to establish their being appreciated for other than superficial reasons by those who won't take no for an answer after seeing their pic.

One profile per phone number? Fine in theory but ,ost people have multiple phones and phone numbers now.

Regarding escorts the tide is to strong to turn back so go with the flow and make it ok provided they identify themselves as such on their profiles.... why?

Because I for one am fed up with people messaging me, chatting me up for ages then out opf the blue asking for money at the point of arranging a meet.

Perhaps one day grindr we’ll be clean this application.
Thanks

Good day

I have found that someone on this site is impersonating me and sending my pictures to others. I'd like to report this and have this person exposed as I'm not gay neither do I have a account with yourl.

Stop falsely accusing people of going outside your guidelines and policies. I didn't do anything and you guys banded my account. I am not happy about this!

There is a huge use in Chile as a drug traffic site. Is it possible to sell from marihuana, xtasis, to cocaine. Is a really shame since at least 1/2 of the profiles closet to you buy or sell drugs.

Yeah right, like anyone would use the app if you had to force a photo.

this is kind of brilliant, but maybe its not a 'ban' per-say, just some sort of icon embedded on their profile

A verification system isn't needed. If you're questioning someone's identity...

1. Tell them to take a live photo with a shoe on their head or to do something that isn't common!

2. Snapchat/Facetime/Skype/etc.

Have them prove their identity to you. If they're unwilling to do that block them. Stop wasting your time talking to fakes.
