Users should have the option to flag a profile as being a fake profile (either spammer, scammer or the type that send pics, arranges to meet and then blocks you last minute),

To combat the risk of malicious or unjust flags, a system should be implemented where X amount of separate flags over X amount of time would be needed to trigger an active flag.

The flagged profile could feature a disclaimer saying something like 'Warning, multiple users have flagged this profile as being suspicious (Fake, Scammer, Spammer).' as either a 'first base' before receiving enough flags to qualify for review by grindr support team, or as a placeholder to warn other users until grindr support team have time to investigate.

New profiles could have a lower threshold of reports before displaying the 'Flagged' badge and/or before reaching the threshold of requiring a review from Support.

This idea has come to me as a few times recently I've got talking to catfish profiles that I'm sure I recognise, but I'm not 100%, then the inevitable happens and after hours of wasted conversation, usually minutes before they (or you) are due to arrive at the door a block is received. Then I remember this is where I recognise them from.

A quick check with local friends will confirm that the same/similar has happened to them yet these profiles remain live for days or sometimes weeks before being banned (or before the catfishes get bored or run out of people to deceive).

Add a "Local Dating Locations" and "Local Dating Locations suggestions" option and let people earn "Brownie Points" for posting their dates and tagging the location/business of there past encounters. This could be used to market add sponsorships for businesses and let users know Local Locations to use for possible future engagements for s safe, clean, and perfect environment for new experiences. By Adding Rating Option and Tabs For "Tidiness" (sanitation/cleanliness), "Warmth (Safety/Securness) and "Taste" (Compatibly/Comfortableness) You Could Help Encourage Users To Earn "Brownie Points" That Can Be Earned By Posting Reviews And By Sharing Posted Reviews. Add a "Brownie Points" Category That Can Have Coupons and Gift Cards Available To Trade Earned Points For and Also Ways To Earn More "Brownies"

1. How about we get rid of block and just have a not interested button just like the tap button everyone seems to hate.

2. Picture moderators be a little more observant about you know the underage people on this app. I'm getting sick and tired of chewing these underage kids out for their lack of understanding of what consequences really mean when they screw a man's life up just because they're horny.

3. Restore the stupid ethnicity filter. It's not racist it's a preference there's a huge difference just because these woke obsessed idiots like to tell you oh that's racist. They think everything is racist because they have an agenda.

4. I'm sorry but you're as have gotten ridiculous. Back in the day it was 5 seconds you press the x it was gone I could deal with that. You have to literally watching 60 second commercial bags and dragons and even after that commercial ends at The x doesn't pop up and then of course Google Play will pop up making the ad super annoying and goddamn aggravating. Yes I understand ads keep it free but you guys need to work on the balance on that because this is not ridiculous it's bombardment. I'm about to just not use this anymore because it's super pissing me off.

5. How about when a little b**** who got denied someone's dick decides to get all the witchy until you guys oh he's a drug dealer and then you ban his profile without investigation what the hell is that all about?! Is this the me too movement for grinder or what ridiculous enough as it is.

And no offense I'm all for trans rights, so once they have that change done they are women which means they shouldn't be on this app. If they have a problem with that that means they have an agenda and they do not want their cock but they want to eat it too. Instant block every time one messages me because I'm not attracted to guys dressing like women I'm attracted to masculinity.

I don't know about this whole China owning you guys but y'all guys need to get your s*** together because everyone's talking crap and you know what you're going to lose your whole f****** fan base and then you're going to go bye-bye just like Jackd or hornet

I thought Grindr was not only sex-positive but also kink-positive?

I’m into ABDL, and also pupplay. With the former, I can’t upload a padded photo of myself without it going through moderation and being refused.

The photos being refused are of me (well above legal age) in a cute diaper, because that’s my thing; that’s it. It’s also a thing for lots of others on your platform, whether they publish photos related to it or not. No nudity, no minors, no breaking laws or guidelines.

It would be helpful to apply a little common sense to moderation, rather than alienating and de facto kink-shaming to a degree. Even for those whom it piques curiosity… don’t “ban” it without fair and reasonable cause, or at least justify the position to do so.

Grindr should not permanently ban users after 1 community guideline offense and then tell them they cannot provide a reason. First off, as a brand, this makes app users very skeptical. Secondly, there should at least be a two strikes rules or different levels of severity. I’m seeing numerous complaints from users that they were banned for no reason (as is my situation).

As marginalized members of society, we already don’t have the same privileges as others. To take away one of the only tools available to find a romantic partner without reason is unfair, against the core values of the Grindr brand, and against the very foundation that the application was built upon.
