Personally, I get more annoyed with people who bitch about scammers, fakes, etc.

I'm so glad that you feel that you have the kind of power as to believe you should have the authority to decide who should be on the site and who shouldn't, to be determined by fun little questions. As for Myself, I'd rather see the whiners removed.

What about people who bitch about people who bitch about scammers?
(Just teasing, Lady P...)

If you thought that was bitching, you'd be scared to death of Me when I have PMS. LOL.

Like I said, only teasing...
;-)

In response to Stella41, how do we also get rid of those wonderful guys who think nothing of sending insults to you, just because? I don't think there is a way, actually, but I had to put it out there.

I'm not saying that there aren't people on this site who are dishonest, abusive, criminal, even downright dangerous but this scammer thing has been going on for years now (ever since the Internet started in fact) and as for fakes... well pray explain to me exactly who is a fake?

But let's get some perspective here, you know? You walk outside your door and there's quite a lot worse than what you find on Collarme, such as thieves, muggers, murderers and so on.

However the difference is is that here between you and them are two computers and a network. You can ignore, delete and block, and they're gone, end of problem.

This isn't the case out in the real world. But I don't see people whining about that too much.

So, because there are scammers on site you wish to test each person before allowing membership? There are lots of phone scammers also. Do we also need to test anyone who wants a home or cell phone to make sure they will only use their phones for legitimate purposes which meet your approval?

Years ago people were told to not give out personal information such as credit card numbers or bank account numbers to any strangers who call on the phone. Before that we were told to beware of strangers who come knocking at our doors. We need to use the same common sense on the internet. I see no reason that a scammer could not learn to answer a few test questions so can't see any logical reason to even consider test questions.

Common sense coupled with report and block features work very very well.

I'm hoping that someone will invent the ignore, block & delete buttons for use in real life. It would make the world oh so much more pleasant, yanno??

Scammers, Fakes, Liars etc...what to do?

First, get a cat. Second, place a cheese grater against your ass. Third, rub both vigorously and see who whines the loudest.

We seem to have more than out fair share of scammers, fakes and other low life inhabiting this site at the moment, i know it is easy to spot them sometimes but their presence here does annoy me and others. Guess theres not a lot we can do about it but i was chatting to a real sub last night and we thought that membership should only be allowed after a few tester questions had been answered! I am sure all the real BDSM folks here could come up with a few to put a smile on our faces so over to you all!

Well sweet cheeks, then why don't you create your own forum board and offer a membership?

Would they be styled after the "EASY" button, 'cause if so, I'd get them. I like big, red, shiny things.

What about using the same tactic when you're at bar with a bunch of friends and some drunken male starts hitting on you inappropriately? Same thing, being a kinkster isn't all that different.

Deet-da-deet-da-deet-deet-da-deet...

News flash! This just in! It has recently been discovered that CollarMe is rife with phonies, scammers, and fakers, the majority of which tend to pose as submissive females and prey on poor unsuspecting strong masculine domly types. The innocent doms are being duped in vast numbers. Whatever will the CM community do to curtail this seemingly fatal stream of events which have left masters wondering how they managed to lose thousands of dollars to that chick in Nigeria? Oh, what a world, what a world, what a world...
