guys rejoining
Jump to: Newest in thread
We often have guys contact us who are on new profiles (we have blocked guys with very new profiles) and they often are guys who have contacted us in the past, we know that for a few reasons, they have photos we recognise, their wording is the same, their messeges to us are the same, sometimes their abuse to us is the same if we say we don't want to meet them.
It would be good if there was a way to make sure that if we block someone but they make a new profile, that they still can't contact us. | |||

"I can't see how that would work if they create a new account and use a different e-mail address? " Some other sites log the users isp/ip address (not sure which one) so they can tell if they have used the site before. Obviously it's more complicated nowadays with people using mobile phones aswell. | |||

"Why should you block all people from deleting profiles and starting again? Some people leave and rejoin because they themselves have been having problems being " stalked" or hassled. And blocking an IP address is pointless; you can change or hide an IP easily; some ISPs change IPs regularly. Just ignore/ block when you need to." That's not what i meant. It's the guys who i block who then leave, rejoin and hassle us again. That's what i would like to avoid. I spend so much time blocking them over and over again. It seems it's not possible on this site though  which does mean this site isn't much fun at times ! | |||

"Pretty sure if you delete old account you can set up new account with same email.though pointless as you would regonaise with photos. Sorry about spelling not my strong point " Very true, that's what gives them away, the photos, their style of writting, their verifications. Thank you for your response | |||

"Blocking IP's would cause difficulty where two people in the same house both have Fab accounts. If one person did sonething to get themselves banned, it is hardly fair to ban the other." I wasn't saying ban them ! | |||

If getting bombarded doesn't bother you then crack on, it's just frustrating to hear people moaning about getting messages from single guys who haven't blocked single guys. It's like moaning about the cold and leaving the windows open. | |||

"It cannot be beyond the wit of man to log user IP addresses and index them against those of users that particular IP adress using user has blocked and ensure that these lists stay in effect. Of course it is easy enough to mask or hide your IP address but now that the most well known VPN service charges this feature would screen out alot of irritants. Furthermore, just that barrier would be useful because I get the sense that most people wouldn't bother trying to circumvent it. All you need is 'most'...

"It seems it's not possible on this site though which does mean this site isn't much fun at times !"It's not possible on ANY site. Nowadays, most home broadband suppliers use dynamic IP addresses (you actually have to pay more to get a static IP address), so getting a new IP address is as easy as rebooting the router. You can't blame Fab for the fact that the Internet is constantly evolving. | |||

It's not what they want. They'd like a way of blocking someone that meant they were somehow permanently blocked despite making a new account etc. Clearly they are getting harassed by someone or some people on here. The harsh reality is that if someone is determined they will always get through, so the only real option is to block all messages and only engage with the people you want to talk to, but this doesn't allow unsolicited messages through and they still want those. Essentially there is no answer that fits 100% of their criteria. Block all messages - removes the abuse but doesn't allow messages in Leave no message filters - inverse of the above Keep blocking - might work, though might just motivate the person(s) to keep up the abuse Ignore - could work? | |||

" In the past we had the same problem with an individual,we blocked,we reported,we blocked again.admin did nothing.what could they do in reality? We just kept blocking,eventually they got fed up n stopped.perhaps they moved onto the op.  | |||

"sorry if i am missing something..but using filters to block people works fine for us ?? connie x "But it doesn't allow all the other random messages in; that's one of the requirements because the Op said going through profiles to find suitable people was too time-consuming, so they want messages to come to them.  | |||
