Well, allowing people to label themselves is a shot in the dark. For some they're upfront and that's the kink, for others they try to sneak in under the radar. So to me, the labeling of themselves is about as effective as getting people to list their weight/height/marital status/age truthfully. Which is to say that self-labeling is about 50/50 or less and always will be.
Analyzing for key words is just as inconclusive. Have you never seen the myriad of ways that people get around filters by putting perhaps k9, or br33ding or some permutation? If you force people to not use certain words they'll just get around it or go more underground by hiding their intent more thoroughly instead of just putting it upfront. I'm sure thousands of men would have you on a hit list for that one because now, if they see certain words they can discount the profile and move on. If they had to instead get to know each womn per profile to discern intent it would waste a ton more time.
Not viable solutions that I can see. Sorry.
You my friend are a troll.
Anyways, would love some moderation input on this one :)
[:D] Wow, that's awesome that you think so since I thought I offered some reasonable debate on your subject and also some facts.
Since you believe I am trolling, could you point out please where the trolling was?
As per my points, what was wrong with saying that it is a fact that people are not always truthful when they already self-select items for their profiles such as age, height, weight, and marital status? I thought that was rather a good point as to why they might not choose the most appropriate category for their sexual orientation as they already seem to have problems telling the truth in the qualities I listed.
My other factual point of how a filter wouldn't work because people would get around it is also already happening, so how would your filter idea help exactly? Perhaps you could explain how using an idea that is already in place and being used and being circumvented is supposed to eradicate fin and tribute Doms...?
Alright alright, let's play :)
Assuming an aggressive stance comes in (auto filter of profiles on key words - this will never happen but alas for you my friend we can pretend): I assume anyone anal enough to Explicitly mention that they're a financial dom and will label it on their profile, yet hates to be defined as a financial dom in Search Criteria, and goes to extreme lengths to hide this from a search algorithm.. Well hats off to them and their warped logic. Filters will always catch you in the end though, and you can H1D3 something as much as you want but 3\/3|\|7|_|4LLY it's meaning becomes lost in translation and then you never really got your point across in the first place, did you?
Now lets assume it was a selectable option: Let's pretend at a good rate 1/10th of the entire Financial Dom population decided to label themselves as Financial Doms. This gives both the benefit of:
- People searching for Financial Doms to easily find them
- People Not searching for Financial Doms the ability to easily hide 1/10 of the Fin Dom population.
Who Benefits?
Financial Doms:
+ It should be obvious now (if they didn't make it rather Explicit before) that the Person Contacting them understands they're a Financial Dom.
General Users:
+ Who doesn't love a narrowed search criteria?
Who Loses?
The Financial Doms who (mind you are a lot of them) make explicit point on their profile that they're Financial / Tribute only and yet won't categorize themselves as such. These people will be lost from the search results of those looking explicitly For their target market.
Ah, and on the topic of why I called you a Troll.. because you only challenge instead of providing a logical For and Against argument and for your points.
To those who say I should hide profiles: Thank you for your suggestions :)
I actually do this, but I think it would be nice to see the site from a service delivery point of view increase overall.
Over to you; my friends.
