    I really think the only way we can rid of all fake and spam profiles (which is a menace to all social networking apps) is to have a 'photo ID' verified feature where the user posts a copy of their government issued ID to Grindr and then posts a selfie with the user holding a piece of paper with a unique alphanumeric code (provided by administration) and another face picture (Which will be the profile ID picture) to grindr adminstration of which they will keep on a secure server database and then add that 2nd selfie as a hidden profile ID picture on the individuals profile. This can then be 'unlocked' to another user if the profile user releases it. That verified user should get a 'green tick' next to their profile title to show that they have been verified.
    Ideally this should be a requirement for all new and existing profiles.
    However, this would cost Grindr administration quite a bit of money but if this really was voted on and implemented then this would not only give Grindr a 'USP' that would set them apart from the competition but will certainly be good for the online community as a whole.
    I would certainly be prepared to pay a fair amount of money as a charge Grindr can take if it's done properly and really does remove all those fake and scam profiles out there - well at least 95% as nothing might be foolproof but this is as foolproof as you can get.
