ILuvChubbyChix:
I think a lot of people may not fathom the amount of effort it can take. Sometimes, it takes hours, at least due in part to how I don't want to be sloppy and check things out. I'm happy to continue engaging in the effort though, to give back to a community that has given me a lot.
Stopping the scammers who manage to register anyway, is a never ending game of whack-a-mole. And for the most part, it's volunteers who stop them.
There's no set schedule, it's whenever we have a free moment. We do have lives and obligations.
Given we have quite a large, diverse membership, it's pretty much guaranteed that not everyone will like everyone else. However, everyone is expected to get along with everyone else, at least in public. The simple fact of the matter is, there can be user disagreements that aren't covered by the rules. That's just life.
This is why blocks only prevent private messages from that person. However, one small change I may like to see is for the block to prevent comments on one's content (such as pictures) from the blocked person.
I saw one person reply to this thread about other users who are "not respecting boundaries." While it can sometimes be difficult to prove, this is unacceptable behavior under rule #3 (respect others). So please, report this behavior.
A single report is not guaranteed to result in bans, particularly since without evidence provided, it does turn into a "he said, she said" match, and because real users are typically given chances to not repeat this behavior. However, multiple repeated incidents can and do eventually result in bans of varying lengths.
One more thing... if the blocks are being used up because of scammers, please... don't do this.
Don't just block scammers and hope they go away. That just gives them more opportunities to scam others. Report them, and give as much information as you can. If you can provide a link of say, where stolen pictures came from, even better.
If we determine they are scammers, and we often do, rest assured, they will get banned. Scamming is an instant ban offense upon discovery.
However, it's not always feasible to check every single account, which means we rely a great deal on you, the users to point them out.

I cannot stress enough the importance of reporting. We have had truly horrible people in this community for years who never got banned because only a small handful of people reported them. Everyone else would just ... block or stop talking to them and move on.
If you complain about the people on here but don't do your part to report with evidence, you are part of the problem. If you don't know how to do this, you can go to their profile, click the flag button, and file your abuse report there.
Alternatively, you can email team@fantasyfeeder.com. I recommend this if you have screenshots, because the abuse report button doesn't provide the option to upload pictures.
