Here in New Orleans we have several abusive users who simply skirt you with another profile - it’s unpleasant and uncalled for - block their device not their profile! Your competition manages to have zero issues with this process

Verify with a debit/credit card with the person’s name. No need to store the info once verified and keeps the spam and underage ones off.

Is important that Grindr force the users who wants to add an instagram o Facebook account to his grindr profile to verify his identity and whit this avoid the suplantation or the use of other people photos. Cause this happened to me a lot!!! The people use my pics all the time and the add my instagram account to them profiles.

There was a time where you can drag and drop images into google search to see if photos were taken from blogs, and would be able to find a whole mess of them, but grindr doesn't allow an easy way to drag and drop image into google image search engine to find out.. That's another way to minimize fake profiles..

The only way to do this is to enable users to verify a profile after a meet up, user can anonymously verify the person by posting something to the profile.. But then again what judgemental gay person on this site would even be nice enough to do such a thing?

Simple Verification surely is the least Grindr should have a duty of care to do - I think legally they are required to verify identity.

How can they be certain that there aren’t children using this app without verification?? And there’s a **** load of laws against children and ****** images!!

Grindr, you might wanna fix this ASAP or a criminal law suit will be heading your way :)

Totally agree!! Isn’t the point of this app genuine chats, friends, networking, hook ups? Seems like all of these uses require verification.

Seems like a no brained, right?

Yes yes yes!! We so need verification.

Does anyone know if Grindr are doing anything about this?

Totally agree! We need verification ASAP!

Why are my messages not kept anymore?...I pay about $15 a month...please reverse that function

How would you want to approve a photo, idiot?

Yes. Yes. Yes. x1000.

A new profile should not be activisted until the user has been verified.

Also, limit the number of profiles a user can make to 2 for every 12 months. If they want to make more than 2 they should be charged an astronomical amount of money.

You guys should do something about this feature. At least start with the easy option like random code on a piece of paper taken by the user. You guys keep on moderating profile photos. I shouldn’t be an issue to moderate those verification process.

Tell someone via email what got their account suspended. It's pointless to suspend without telling the person why. Or even when the account will be restored. Bad customer service.

There seems to be little to no effort on Grindr's part to do something about the dramatic increase in the number of scammers appearing on the site. I report them and when I checked days later they still have active profiles.

Lol funny

There has to be a better way to screen these guys. Everyday there are more and more profiles using other people’s pics. Can the staff Skype briefly with all of us to verify!?

It's easy to verify any user yourself! Have them write your name on a piece of paper and take a photo with it.
