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.

I've yet to see anything done about underage or obvious spam accounts. I get Grindr is cheap and wants to employ the minimum needed to run the app, but it's not working out for them. Do some kind of in-depth process to get some volunteer moderators out there that can help sort and push through reports to paid employees.

well said !

If people don't show a face pic, or have a face pic in their private collection, they should be banned. Too many fake profiles on here

If it means cutting down on all the fakes and catfish profiles, yes put in this feature. The rest of us shouldn't have to have our time wasted by insecure people with too much time on their hands. The BS is out of control and right now that's a larger issue. If you're in an area that it's not safe to be out in, then the app wouldn't be for you. If you're worried because you're cheating on your spouse, stop being a douche; the app wouldn't be for you.

I think another problem is Grindr has no interest in policing their own app and want to skirt by doing the bare minimum. Speak their language (money) and it might actually trigger some results with the app. Right now though, us complaining on here isn't going to solve anything. The catfish/fakes are out of control. Require a verified email address, verified picture.

Anytime I see a picture that has location disabled and it looks grainy, that's a dead giveaway and there are tons of them. Also give us an upvote/downvote so we can warn others of flakes and fakes. Not sure why gay men are so obsessed with playing games online, makes me wonder how many guys actually get any on here.

Profile verification can be done by requiring a photo with a randomly generated code that must be hand written with the date. No reason to require users to share the ID which require more security.

I would say you should require the photo to be taken with the grindr app to be uploaded to help prevent photoshopped images.

The only issue is that Grindr only allows you to have one photo and you can only verify to one photo so anytime someone changes it you have to reverify.

Nowadays I don’t know whether grindr is more into dates and fun or into getting to buy weed, cocaine (or any other drug), or a massage service.
It’s really annoying to face every 1 or 2 typical grindr profiles, one that is intended to provide drugs or services.
I’m thinking on erasing this app, since it’s not more what is was in the past.

The best feature I can think of for Grindr to offer in the future is Verified Profile. Pick a method of verifying identity of users, multiple layers, email, phone number/text verification, drivers license photo comparison, etc. all in the background. A VERIFIED PROFILE ✔ could appear on profiles that have passed the verification standards.

I find this very annoying I always have to post more photos to the person I’m writing to, better if you just could post more photos on you’re profile right a way.

(This would just be a option if you wanna show more photos)

It would be nice if there was an easier way to organize your personal pictures. A library under settings that you could easily upload and rearrange pictures that you send.

For those of us who are sick and tired of replying to faceless profiles to ask for a face pic despite having indicated "NPNC" in our bio (No Pic No Chat), we should be able to turn on an NPNC feature that allows only profiles with a face pic to start a chat with us. Faceless profiles will not be able to send us a message until they send a face pic to initiate the chat.
