But, LadyPact, would such a "pattern" occur repeatedly and result in multiple listings at different times by several different people who present details re: dishonesty??? Look---I can invent all sorts of horror stories to denigrate my idea. But let's try to keep this discussion based upon REAL possibilities not hypothetical extremes which are not likely to occur. It is certainly true that any one person could concoct a totally false assertion. I suppose it is even possible that an alliance of troublemakers here could fabricate a series of lies about somebody they do not like. But the fail-safe mechanism is still something you are not addressing: (1) What is the actual evidence you are using to create the (false) impression of dishonesty by a CM member? (a) If you claim he/she is lying about their age --- ok -- where did you find something credible to make that a reasonable conclusion? (b) If you claim that his/her pics are phony -- ok -- where did you find something to establish the validity of your assertion? (c) If you claim that his/her profile is composed of falsehoods regarding his/her actual preferences --- ok -- where did you find something credible and verifiable to document those falsehoods? What I think you guys are still missing is this: RIGHT NOW---under the current system, you employ your brain and your instincts to separate out legitimate CM members from phony ones. Under my proposal -- THAT REMAINS IN PLACE. The only difference is that you have an information source which might serve to validate your initial concerns and instincts! quote:

ORIGINAL: pshornyguy No, you are wrong LadyPact! Remember what I have said repeatedly: there would have to be a PATTERN of behavior (which, by definition, would require multiple listings by different people). And EVEN THEN --- it would STILL be up to you to decide how to proceed. Nothing would change from the current system EXCEPT there would be an information source (a database) where dishonest behavior could be listed....but everybody would make up their own minds regarding its authenticity, accuracy, and credibility. If my proposed info list is something you believe to be utterly worthless for all the reasons you (and others) have mentioned --- THEN, you would NEVER even look at it. Has it occurred to you that I just showed you how a pattern can seem to exist when there really isn't one? Please go back to My post before last.
