Why put them back? Makes no sense. You are blocked for a reason.

Grindr should start making people send in proof

People get away with making false reports
if Grindr started asking for proof then No one would be banned

I'm getting 10x more spam than actual messages. According to their phone number prefix they come from America, UK, India, ...

Currently I have to report them, but that won't stop the spam, because:

1) they just create a new account
2) what I mark as spam may not be spam for someone else

I would like to be able to add the words "GayFun" and "party" and "baby" to a personal blacklist so that I don't notifications for them and they won't float on top of my main inbox. (Maybe add a spambox to the right of Taps inbox.

how can u create a new account of its banned from an iphone se the new one??

The “contact us here” link in your Help section DOES NOT WORK!!!

Paying for Unlimited and renewing subscription but not getting the unlimited features for 3 days now, And then there is non existent customer service, so no way to find out what is going on. I have to tolerate the Ads, but really the App is not worth using unless you pay!!! Fix this or give customers a way to contact you to get what we are paying for!
Also lost all contacts and chats - not sure why I pay for this App but it’s useless unless you do. I’ve been a paying customer for 10 years, yet you can’t get this App right. You have the largest gay market and we are stuck with you guys. Shame you don’t care about your customers.

I also got a Ban too from posting a profile photo and then cropping the size and reposting it - was told I was spamming people, which was not true - And had to start a new account, losing all my contacts and chats

The whole point of this App is to meet guys, and chat with them - You make it easy for so many guys to to not have a set profile with a name and not be accountable for their treatment of others and then we lose contacts if those men we spend hours and weeks finding that are actually worth talking to!
It is frustrating and makes me sick to have to pay to try find those men for a second time all over again. And that I don’t have their chats I have paid money to find.
I know you legally disclaim any responsibility, but how about customer satisfaction and giving us a product that works for the amount of money we pay!
Very frustrated
But I doubt you care
Please prove me wrong!

There are thousands of men with lost chats, and banned accounts for no reason!
The LGBTQ COMMUNITY DESERVES WAY BETTER!

And please give me the Unlimited features I am paying for!!! SMH

No. This guy who just wrote all these 3 comments is smoking crack.
Grindr’s logo is a mask.
It’s for discreet hookups.
Not your authoritarian Chinese social credit score Reddit karma nonsense.
There is already a report function: Use it.

No. Don’t block all URL’s. That’s doing surgery with a chainsaw.
They simply need to filter urls which Match urls in content specifically reported as spam and confirmed by a moderator.
When a moderator verifies phishing activity A script searches then banned profile and outgoing messages for hyperlinks,
Those urls then added to a ban list, and then are incompatible inputs for profile and message text input.
The same way the app won’t let us put the word COCK in our screen name.
Grindr is retarded. Nothing they do makes sense. They only care about making their money and selling your data at the end of the day and don’t care how their app wastes your time and exposes your to cyber attacks.
They obviously don’t care even slightly.

But that would require basic programming ability and a paid UI designer and clearly all Grindr cares about is forcing cringey sponsored content and corny liberal politics into our inbox.
Fuck I wouldn’t be surprised if grindr WAS gayfun.org.

Allow people to leave reviews of other users (star rating and description of experience with the person). This is will reduce the risk of other users having negative experiences with people that are known to have repeated patterns of behavior that are problematic such as lying and risky behavior (drug use). Reviews could be rejected if they are run potential for libel. Guidelines could be created and enforced while reviews go through an approval process.

Over 20% of profiles at times are fake profile advertising for some other site

To be able to view how many people have seen and liked your profile photos. This will tell men if their pictures help to attract potential partners or friends. Lesser liked pictures would be swapped with something new and etc., and it could be a fun feature to improve Grindr.
People could click your photo if they think a particular one is hot, and for Xtra members, they'll be able to see just who did it.

it's hard to get signed in

Photo verification allows you to verify your profile, so that people can see that you really are you. The positive thing is that you know they are genuine when you see a mark on their profile.
We all know there’re some people who use other’s pictures where they actually violate the copyright infringement and you can never be sure that the person behind that profile is who claims to be.

Too many people ask for pics and just want to jerk off and only few people want to meet. They'll send a pic of a huge dick claiming it's theirs and claiming they'll meet only if more pics are sent, it's ridiculous scam. Many of these profiles are blank with no profile pic so that's at least an easy way to spot then and ignore. They're new profiles likely from a troll or previously banned people.

People don’t talk to me because I have no pictures but it’s only because they are being checked and it take way too long

Grindr does nothing about the spam messages

Grindr happily bans people
For no reason at all

The amount of daily spam messages I have got it a Joke

200+ spam messages in 1 week

one message says it from Grindr technical support and to click on this link I said f*ck off scammer

A few hours later I’m banned

So after all the daily spam messages and harassing messages from bots & scammers

I’m the one who is banned

So after being a paying member to Grindr and being harassed daily by bots and scammers trying to lure me onto a fake scam website

I’m the one banned Grindr shows no respect to their paying and loyal customer

Profiles often encode drug-use for methamphetamine and promote it by using terms such as “party, parTy, Tina, Ice, Crystal, etc.” Not only does this invade the LGBTQ+ culture, but it’s robust on Grindr to where it seems uncontrolled, a stronger mechanism for removing this type of material can be introduced by streamlining the reporting of a profile for meth use, such as an icon near the “tap” and “message” buttons to where it allows the user to report the promotion/invitation of illicit substance use. Due to the nature of people encoding symbols for drug use, one way to reduce these profiles is by gathering data from multiple reports, it may be as easy as a click (such as the Facebook like bottom) to encourage users to get involved. After so many reports, the profile may be subject for investigation by internal review, to which a decision is made to remove the profile. Ironically, meth use is highly promoted on this platform with personal information and images of the person promoting the drug, but this behavior is absent on other social platforms. This needs to stop, at the best least be mediated and controlled by Grindr’s algorithms.

7 years with Grindr and but got banned on false charges. Amazing. They claim you can appeal but all I got was that their decision was final.
So silly
