Crowdsource veracity by allowing other users to vote whether they know or don't know another profile. Actual users who meet other users would be more likely to get upvoted, new users or dummy profiles would not get up votes and would stay at the bottom.

Validación de fotos poco coherentes ya que rechazan fotos no sexuales, también para cuando borrar fotos enviadas para que no hagan utilización de ellas? Es un problema de seguridad, y que cuando uno bloquee o me bloqueen No se borre el chat. Es algo primordial en mejorar, gracias.

There is another reason. There are people who change profile frequently for a variety of reasons. If I have an issue with someone, I can always block them, but if a slightly similar profile pops up again I don't know if it is the same person with a new profile. Grindr cant stop this, but if a Created date was shown it would at least alert users that this is a brand new profile and in my case, it may be the same person - what happens then is my responsibility. This would give users an added ability to detect nuisance or threatening members. This is a growing problem.

How do I get bed vacation i d so they can come over and be safe

It would be nice that you create a tap for people you chatted with allowing to verify them using a series of question
1. Have you met this person (real genuine profile)
2. Had *** with
3. Information and photo as in the profile
4. Recommend to meet
5. Safe *** and with consent
Based on the answers a rating is given to the profile which is changed after verifications by 10 users (it can be as known, known as gentle, known as ****/hot, known for safe)
Also to allow to send verification requests for people whom you chatted with for the last 48 hours. Week or month (with at least 10 messeges exchanged)

Like some other sites, a user has the option to send Staff a face picture with some sort of sign saying their email so Staff can verify they are a genuine user and aren’t impersonating and catfishing which are major issues. This is all discreet, and they can have a little Orange Tick on their profile so other users are aware they’re legit. Users don’t have to do this, but they risk a lack of interest as most people will seek genuine, verified interactions.

In my opinion there isn’t enough been done to verify people’s age, I don’t want to communicate with minors but often profiles say there 18 but in fact there 15 or 16 etc. I know in an ideal world only 18+ are allowed on Grindr but there setting up these fake profiles to entrap people into conversations with minors with an 18 age on profile and then label you a pedophile when you communicate with them. This needs to be looked at for the safety of all Grindr users, there should be no minors on this app or if they are get them to display their real age so we can avoid communication with them. I want to communicate with real people with real age displayed and not fake /minors.

Authorization for linking profiles (Facebook, Instagram etc) as fake people are simply linking genuine profiles

Why hasn’t then been done already? This app is a joke.

Getting Grindr users who have met a person to verify that profile as genuine. The higher the number of verifications you have, the better.

Ensure that users have to identify that they are who they claim to be either through cross matching social media accounts or by providing a picture with a photo ID card.

To see if it is a bot or a fake profile or something made just for once. Make it visible to see the date of joining grindr (ex. joined on feb 2017)

A feature or security measure must be loaded where a user has to enter their social security or ID number (which remains private) but allows the grinder app to recognize or validate the user. This way preventing people from opening numerous and fake profiles. Once a ID number has been entered you can’t reenter it for a new profile, until you have deleted or requested your ID to be released from the previous account without a valid reason.

Another cool feature would be to validate your photo, whereby you can click validate, which then requests you to send through a 5 second vid of yourself (face) and the Grindr team can validate your face pic, by putting a green tick in the top of your profile, which tells other users your face has been verified by Grindr team directly.

Joining date, when I see a profile that has been active longer I would believe it's a person that's not just after pictures or someone I just blocked.

If the user sees that a profile was created recently its a good and quite reliable sign that a profile is fake (of course together with other circumstances like: empty profile, immediately asking for nude pics etc - we call them pic collectors).on one hand 90% of real users are constant with the same profile over months or years. Then we got profiles created 2h ago, empty profile (no data), fake pic of a extremely good looking guy which disappears after 1 day. If there is a date of creation of profile written in the profile and you see this profile exists over months, you can be quite sure its not fake

Bots are removed the minute they start spamming.. Once everyone reports them.. They are gone.. The others just ask for phone number to verify they are real..

Allow all users to submit a “verified” profile pic. You can choose to have your profile pic verified or not. Only verified profiles will have “Request verified Pic button” (the button can be greyed out/ inactive until verification). You can hide your profile pic but only users with a verified pic can request AND when a request is approved rhe other user is automatically given acces to the others verified pic. At least ability to open once before being able to revoke access. Allow Xtra users to have multiple Profile photos with a “Lock/ Unlock” feature similiar to Adam4Adam. One of those photos be verified. Replacing a verified photo would require re-verification accordingly to keep said profile button functional. A unique identifier for Xtra users might cool. Grinder should find a fair way to limit no face/ no info profiles.

As with most dating/hook-up apps there is an option to make your account and the photo you have uploaded to be verified.

I strongly campaign for Grindr to have this feature in place as this would help users alike to know if the person they are conversating with are actually real.

This feature would stop users from ideally being catfished by whomever wishes to use a fake photograph.

This feature is also a great safety hazard in the event of a user being asked to ‘meet up’ or ‘have fun’ and then meeting up with someone whom is portentally dangerous and could possibly harm the user whom is genuine and not the imposter.

Another add on to this suggestion is to have a register verification date attached to the profile. Along with this, if support have been notified that a person is fake, and on numourous accounts the user in question has made different accounts within a set time period - the users IP address should either be suspended for a set time period or be permanently banned without proper I.D. information.

To be added to this which I forgot is..... once a user has been verified they then get the rights to verify other users too.

I think this would be a great way to help highlight:
Fake Profiles
Bots
Time wasters
Non genuine users

Every profile should show the date it was created, like Hornet does. This would help establish credibility for a user. (Displaying it could be optional, I suppose, if there are people who prefer to keep it hidden.) For example, "Joined in Feb 2017" or "Member since Aug 2016" at the end of one's profile.
