Why not save the last 5 photos that have been approved? I’ve just tried to upload a photo I’ve used before and it’s been rejected. I’m going to keep loading it until it’s approved

dishonest APP, no respect at all for their users. Grindr have so many double standards, and there are so many escorts, and fake profiles, trying to get users to sign up for "secured meetings." or guaranteed *** once you vote or join there page.

Ich würde vorschlagen,das Escortguys Speziell gekennzeichnet werden im add,zb ein Euro Zeichen.Damit müssen diese Boys auch mehr Mitglieder Gebühren bezahlen.
Weiter würde ich unter „Report „ noch ein Satz Anhängen :Sales *** against money“

Bots need to be removed.

Tyler’s profile is fraudulent his real name is Troy stelle and he has hatrassed me repeatedly and has hacked my account here and other siites

There should be an enforced age verification as some profiles appear to show individuals far to young to be using the app

Not a good idea. You can refuse to see someone without seeing a pic and if you want to see a true pic you insist they send one that is self-proving by asking then to include something specific like a thumb touching a lip or holding a cup.

Also it is a close proximity app. No pic? Offer to meet and check each other out. People met through lonely hearts ads in papers years ago and some still do without any facility for pre-publicising pictures.

I have recently been scammed by somebody asking for fare money to travel to London to meet me. I transferred it into his bank account. Over two days of conversation he apologised for postponing then asked for the fare money again. He was using a photo of a model as his face-pic and was very polite and easy to talk to and had given me his phone number which we never used,. However, I explained that I was not happy with that then I suggested I would gladly pay it if he sent me a proof pic of him touching his face so I knew he was genuine.

At the the words "This User Is No Longer Online" appeared and his profile and the chat disappeared.

Along with that his bank account details and phone number disappeared along with other evidence.

This is an unbelievable irresponsible state of affairs.and an abuse of ones right to retain a record of ones own conversations. It is quite clear this person is scamming many and can get away with it because Grindr assists him in destroying the evidence when he decides.

This problem is not just confined to criminals. It could be somebody suicidal or in a medical predicament or in danger No legitimate decent person is going to delete mid-chat without warning.

Please can we change this so that when someone deletes their profile their conversations remain at least for a period of time with the other person they are talking to.

Even when the Grinder App can’t stop the increase of the consumption of hard drugs like Crystal Meth, Heroine or ***** Cocaine on society, the moderators could do something to stop the use of the app as a “buffet” for people with addiction problems.

My idea is that every time emojies like 🍭🍬💎💠🔹🔷♦️ are used, the app will replace them with a blank space “ “. This would work even between private messages. The programming logic is easy even when I am not a programmer myself, it is a condition.

This will not stop people from going outside and look for those drugs but it will make it for them more difficult. Living in a city where I have found at least 30 users using those emojies, the Grindr App should not be an easy way to get drugs.

Hope you guys agree cause being gay should not be the same as having health problems.

My chest (above belly button) photos keep being rejected, yet I don’t receive any email telling me the reason why they are being rejected. Why is a shirtless upper torso photo rejected?

Any thoughts to eliminating some of this spam and these blank profiles? I scroll through and nearly 2/3 of the profiles are blank, photoless, or have scenery and no information.

not sure how this would work. esp with so many users. spammers could photoshop images (with the handwritten code), and once the acct is verified, the user could change everything (photo, stats, location, etc.).

What might be better is to identifiy users who paid. spammers/scammers aren't going to pay -- identify montly and annual plan) and payment (at least of IOS) is linked to an iTunes acct. Also might be good to know how long the acct has been active. I had one guy who kept creating an acct every few days and kept contacting me with the new acct. Very strange.

And users could see who is a paid member and not, how long they have been a grindr user. And have the option for users to turn this off in areas of the world where it could be dangerous, or used against them. Maybe verified users could give other users a 'checkmark' when they know the other user is real, but that could be used by spammers to create one verified acouunt to verify others. but maybe if those secondary user are flagged as spam/fake, then the original veriified user could get banned from making those verification and his other 'checks' would be removed. Very complicated tho.

Uh. No.

Stupid idea. Not everyone is out of the closet and willing to let everyone know they are gay. It should be an option (not part of xtra either), and one should not have to display a face pic publicly to use it. But also those considering should beware that this is a horribly insecure company with ties to China. I wouldn't trust them with any personal info that would be used to verify, because they have been hacked multiple times.

Agreed

There should be an option (like the new feature
"Haven't chatted yet") where if people haven't uploaded a pic on their profile, they can't contact you.

You can still take screenshots though.

But I like taking screenshots of guys I like too, so don't make it impossible to take screenshots.

Maybe we can put a bigger grindr watermark instead, so using the pic as your own is impossible because people could tell you took it off another person's profile.

Difficult cause Grindr would lose a lot of users. A lot of gay men on this app are closeted - back then I was and I would definitely have deleted grindr if I had to have my face showing on my profile.

Good idea, but it doesn't have to be mandatory.

Maybe a verification feature for those willing to have their faces on display is better. Have the verified icon; enjoy its privileges.

Or a video that the app records itself, so you can't upload a video of another person's head shot that's been saved to your gallery.

The idea is good but profiles can work around this and verify their face, then send pictures of other guys through chatting. So they have the verified icon, but still be a poser account.

BUT I think we CAN still implement this effectively by verifying the profile pictures instead [obviously we can't verify torsos so this feature would only be effective with those guys willing to have their face pic on their display] - - and every time they change their display picture, they're gonna have to get verified again. This other gay app Blue'd already has this feature and I think we can copy the way they do this; would definitely help us filter the fake profiles from the legitimate ones.

LOL.. These people need to be on FACEbook if they can't chat with someone long enough based on other common interest and trade face pics when everyone involved is comfortable. This is something you can post in your profile, and many do just that. No face pic=no reply, etc.. At that point if someone contacts you and there is no face pic then don't reply, what's the big deal. It sounds like all the commotion is that they like what they see prior to the face pic but then are not as turned on when they get the face pic. Well make a decision and move on. It's either a match or it's not.
