We are all growing tired of all the fakes and liars credited to this site! Although there are a few people who genuinely seek another - they seem to grow few. Recently a woman we contacted asked us to provide to her a photo of us holding a sign with HER name written on it. What a GREAT IDEA we thought!

From now on anyone we contact - who cannot submit to us a photograph with our name on it will be Black Balled, and blocked!

All of you could help weed out the fakes, liars, pros, and scammers by insisting on a prove up yourself!

That definitely wouldn't stop any liar or fake I've ever encountered, more's the pity! If you think that works for you, great! I would definitely (personally) think it's too much of a drag to do that -- I totally get the reason you're proposing this, though.

So expect people like me, to block people like you.

Status: offline 		I have to agree with a moderation of the two extremes; yes, it's a great "proofer" to request, but let's also take some reality into check; just because you may have pictures of yourself freely floating around the internet does not mean I am going to be willing and ready to send my own after a 20 minute conversation.

Pros and cons to both sides I suppose, I for one am in the camp that you will get one of those WAY down the line if you are able to prove you are worth it; otherwise, I am not sending personal pictures out to anyone I don't know in my day to day life, just a personal limit.

Respect both sides, and do well never to think that YOUR opinion and comfort zone applies to everyone else.

Greetings,

*sighs* to be honest I get tired of reading over and over on people's profiles and the boards complaints and whining about "fakes." I have found that if you take the time and effort to put something substantial in your profile and journal, the proportion of decent e-mails goes up. I occasionally get the scammer- they're pretty obvious to spot, I also get the crude and/or rude one liners once in a while, and the cut and pasted and obviously-have-not-read- a-word-of-my-profile paragraphs. But... the obnoxious and the scams I block, the one-liners and cut-and-pasters I ignore. And I am left with a handful of courteous decent emails to which I respond. I have "met" (in the sense of on-line conversing) many very nice and interesting people. I come to the boards, and the majority of people who bother to take the time to post here, I find to be genuine in their views, whether or not I agree with them and I assume there to be real live homo sapiens behind the keyboards. As to how much I respect them, time and reading their posts helps me. I've had people accuse me of being fake- even had one say I was "Santa Claus" because he didn't believe my photos could be me (next time I take one for CM, I'm thinking of holding the day's newspaper up )- oh yes and I've also been accused of being a "dirty old man behind the computer" and my Master has been accused of being me. It kind of makes me laugh. Why would I take the time to write a lengthy profile and write journal entries and post on the boards if I'm not "real." And anyone with half a brain can tell the difference in writing style, thoughts and demeanor between me and my Master. I think honestly, people find what they look for. If you are ready to find fakes, then you will see fakes; but if you look for quality in people, you will often find that too.

Just my two cents

Well wishes,
anna

You mean that I've been lusting over a nonexistent nymph all this time?

The National Society Of Grizzly Adams tribute acts, perhaps?

is this a late entry in the Trollscars, because I thought that other dude had it in the bag?
