Going to add to this. The same scammers keep creating profiles with the same socials. The IP address of these users all track back to Lagos, Nigeria. Even when they use a VPN, I am still able to figure this out.

They will use pictures that they sourced from the internet. If anyone sends you a photo, run it through a reverse image search or check the file name. These will give you hints of where the pictures come from.

The scammers will not attempt to get to know you at all. They will jump right into asking you for money. They are not your friend.

Here is a list of Discord names to avoid:

Discord:
-beloyaltome
-dominantprincess
-biggestbellyever_16697
-bellybbwfeedee_37663
-felicia1534
-biggerthebetter10

Do not give money to strangers. It is really easy to become someone else on Internet with the right tools.

Do not become a victim.

It's not just that the moderation team of this forum seem to not be spending time and efforts to try and stop these scams

What is the direct intentions of letting me scammers run around the place is it because in reality FF is mostly a ghost town and if you're a move all the bots there is very few people

If that is a yes then remove these goddambots already so that the servers and community can fill with good people so we don't have to be spammed with a million Nigerian bots and fake accounts

Even if it is simple as every time your profile picture or username is being rendered on the HTML a hard-coded verified or warning unverified appears next to your account and the other major thing is to have ranks that say how regular of an ff user you are


Giving users the tools to immediately verify invalidate users and to tell when somebody make an account two weeks ago or is actually active on this site


Seriously hiccup you're destroying your site without it leaving it as a desolate pit that is the prime example of the Dead internet theory at least on a small community like this you have the ability to that stuff and you have full control over the websites functions unlike services like discord or telegram where people are constrained within the generalised platform


Give us the tools to protect ourselves and protect new users and old users

Thanks for bring this up and for your suggestions. May of these tools we have already, although I appreciate that they could be improved. For instance, a member's profile will show when they joined the site and how often they log in. We also have the verified member feature.

We have numerous checks on registration, including whether the registering user is using a VPN or datacenter, also whether their country of origin matches other information such as their browser time zone and language.

The mods work incredibly hard at keeping spanners and troll of the site. Fomr a quick count up of the last three days is see they've made:

10th May - 7 IP bans
9th May - 4 IP bans
8th May - 7 IP bans

This doesn't include all the warnings and suspensions given.

The problem we have is the same as for all similar social websites, that it's a balancing act between having a free and easy sign up, and keeping trolls off. For example, we could go down the route of multi-factor authentication, where we send a code to your phone which you need to type in in order to sign up. However, I'm pretty sure this wouldn't go down well with members who value their privacy when coming to a site like this.

Anyway, I take your point and we will continue to develop new ways of keeping out scammers and trolls.

there a ton of UX space for this

people will whine about it but it becasue they are new accounts

but for a site where belly and fat content and sharing of how it done and looking for feeding it will add a massive anti spam barrier as it takes a quick look see some is sus or not

im sorry for being harsh to the admin team but this simple yet important things for safety



added an example for for the chat room

Completely agree. I wouldn't be surprised if majority of active users are scammers/bots. You see blank profiles showing up daily and filling chat like a swarm.

Letters And Numbers:
The check mark is a nice idea. I’ve been verified for a while, but you wouldn’t know unless you went into my profile, and at least personally, I feel like the feature that lets you know when people have looked at your profile dissuades me from checking profiles as often as I could? Sometimes I think it’s weird when people look at mine, so why wouldn’t the same be true the other way? Maybe it’s a me thing. But there’s important info that’s only in the profile, including verification status.
