So you would rather us remove this feature completely...

Admins don't get paid... So not sure what you are referring to there. We expect members to help generally by reporting others who break rules. We don't monitor every interaction 24/7 there's no way to enforce that sort of check system.

To keep the site a safe space. It makes sense to let members help police it... We don't ask you to do this so mods sit around and do nothing.

You can't please everyone, but this is a massive step in the right direction.

This is exactly why we have brought in profile verification.

Models and content sellers can still use the site but they won't have verified profiles. Unless the are here for dating and not just to sellor promote on their profile.

So as a user... Looking for someone to chat with. If you see the profile has a green shield verification icon... This user is highly unlikely to try and sell to you. If they do... Then report it and we will remove the verified status.

Anyone without a verified icon is exactly that. We haven't seen a photo of them to prove they are who they say they are and they may look to sell to you.

So you can make the choice. The info is in the profile for you to access and make an informed decision.

I can safely say that this is not the first time we have discussed this idea as a business. We have not gone down the route of having business / model profiles because although yes... we could make extra income. It would take away from the social side of the site.

We understand selling content is becoming increasingly popular within this community but we don't want to be inundated on our forums and other areas of the site with people promoting themselves. This has happened on other websites and its not a route we want to go down here.

Verified profiles is a new feature and improvements can always be made, but this is a giant leap forward in helping you guys connect with real members who are here to chat, make friends and date.

To FigureBySnacks...

1. Your profile was debated when being verified due to you mentioning the selling of clothing and that people may ask you for links. We decided on this occasion that it was OK as you are not directly linking to other sites or shops to sell your garments. However if you were then reported to us by a member who said you were actively advertising your services and provided us with evidence. We would remove the verification as with anyone.

2. The author that advertises paid stories elsewhere... There is no difference from this and web models promoting content. Can you please report the user to us so we can ask the author in question to remove the details. Rule 7 quite clearly states the site should be used for non commercial purposes only. This applied to all members.
-------

We do allow web models to link to other sites, this should only be done on your profile, but as linking is promoting a business we would not verify profiles like this. This does not mean they can not use the site or contact members. The site can still be used in exactly the same way.

Verified and Non verified profiles are not here to punish models or content sellers. They are a way for our other members to find like minded individuals. People can make the choice, it's up to them if they want to speak with people who sell content. It just makes it easier to identify the type of interaction you are going to get. Lots of our members feel they put the time into getting to know people only to be asked for payment down the line and feel disheartened.

Of course models may wish to date on FF. Everyone and anyone can apply for verification, there's no restriction. However, if we verify a profile and a member you have been chatting with reports you for promoting/ advertising/ solicitation then we may remove the verification.

We are going to relying on you guys to help manage this. OF course we will fairly review all reports and will not act based on just hearsay we will need screenshots/ evidence. Which I think is fair.

Hi so not had the best response from people when I messaged directly. Either no response or unable to make it.

I have been asked for numbers and who is going to be attending. So far the people that are still interested are as follows:

*c00kie (Me)
*PhoenixChimera
*Oskark
*Emptyfridgefullbelly
*Tom31UK
*anonymousbuddy0901
*aceofsnakes
*FatAsButter (new on thread did not message)

Nobody as of yet has 100% confirmed but the above list are those who haven't said a flat out no.

I was thinking we could check this new social distancing place out. Super close to Piccadilly train station too! However we do need to book... So I need to know numbers of bodies!

Story authors get 50% of the first sign up and as of earlier this year they also receive 20% of repeat subscriptions. This change was implemented from feedback we received from our authors.

We are not dictators, we wants this scheme to work for everyone and open to suggestions. So if you have idea's maybe share your constructive criticism.

I am now locking this thread. If you have feedback then contact us directly via the contacts us page.

Fantasy Feeder is a business. As with any business we have running costs. This is covered by members that upgrade, we have no source of other income to keep the site running. So basically your upgrades keep this place alive!

As stated previously in comments, the Premium content was brought in late 2018 and allows our members to get paid for the content they create. Fantasy Feeder does not mark content as premium, this is a decision made by the content creator...

The premium pics, stories and videos that are included in the content galleries alongside the free content is to entice you to upgrade... That is how the people with earners accounts get their commission...

When you see a premium pic, video or story if you click on it to view, there is a holding screen that prompts you to upgrade. The content creator gets 50% of that upgrade cost if you upgrade via their pic, video or story because it has the content ID linked from the holding page.

If we didn't show premium content in our galleries, our earners wouldn't receive any commission! This is because there would be no way to upgrade other than via the upgrades page.

You can enjoy the site as a non upgraded member as there is so much free content to view. We don't pressure people to upgrade and you can filter the content from the recommended to newest, oldest, recently updated, most likes, most comments. If you see content with premium on it.... well then now you know what that means so avoid clicking on it if you don't want to upgrade.

Without people upgrading the site simply would not exist.

We do not allow solicitation, begging or unauthorised advertising selling of services / content anywhere on the site.

However, we do allow links on profiles to other sites if relevant to your profile and to the feederism scene as well as PayPal and social media information, wishlists. Please note this is only allowed in your profile and should not be posted elsewhere on the site.

Also please refrain from asking directly for donations anywhere on the site.

I believe this was the response to you regarding your question about blocking...





I can safely say that we are still looking to improve this feature as advised by hiccupx.

Currently the block feature will stop interactions on the site. So people can still view your profile and content.

Blocked members can not: Message you directly, See or speak to you in the chat, comment on your pictures, follow you and if they are currently following you that feature is removed.

So yes currently blocked members can still see your profile and like content it seems (which should not be the case). but they can not interact with you on the site.

We are constantly working on the site and we have to priorise our workload. With such a small team it can take longer than usual to implement changes. But we are working through all the suggestions we get to add new features improve existing features and fix bugs but things take time.

We appreciate your patience and understanding.

Thanks,

c00kie

Of course! Everyone and anyone is welcome! I will be in touch with everyone who posted on the thread just to make sure they know the details.

If you want to bring anyone else along as well that's cool! Spread the word!

Awesome so it sounds like we have god a bit of interest so lets get it sorted.

I am going to suggest a later date so we can generate more interest and get a larger group together. Also I think it's wise to let things settle with lockdown ending.
