    Grindr has long ignored numerous people's pleas to block obvious spam, like first contacts consisting of nothing but a URL. Given that this is easy to do, I'm starting to wonder whether Grindr itself creates those accounts, paid by the owners of those websites, so they're not only advertising to us paid users, but pretending they aren't, letting us THINK it's external spam. This probably isn't true, but then Grindr should consider that their inaction makes it seem possible.

  2. Taps optional

    I have yet to figure out what it is that bothers people about taps. If you're in a bar and a guy smiles and nods at you, and he's a guy you'd normally be into and be happy to strike up a conversation with, are you now going to ignore him because he didn't walk right up to you and start making conversation out of the blue? You're going to spite him, PUNISH him, AND yourself because he didn't approach you in exactly the right way?

    I wonder whether it's the word "tap" that's really the source of the revulsion some people have, because on Scruff I have *never* seen a profile that says "No woofs, please".

    Anyway, I ignore people with "No Tapping" rules in their profiles because they've marked themselves as control freaks who likely have all sorts of other peeves, exhausting everyone with whom they come into contact with endless petty expectations regarding the other person's behavior in dealing with them. In other words, I figure I'd get tired of them REALLY fast.
