I guess a bit of judgement will be needed when interacting with other members. The spirit of the scheme is that members are awarded verified profiles partly on the understanding that they're not trying to sell anything or beg for gifts. We're not trying to prevent you from chatting about your work and what you do, and your paysite may well come up in conversation. I don't think anyone would object to this, especially if you've been chatting for a while got to know them a bit. However we will be relying on members to help police this through abuse reports and complaints. Obviously we will look into each report fairly and objectively and only un-verify a profile if we're sure the rules have been broken.

Sorry, to be more clear, you can mention that you are a web model in the context of this is who I am and what I do, but you'll need to remove any links.

Yes we do welcome web models to become verified in the same way as anyone else. The majority of web models that come here have a genuine interest in this community, and if they are interested in dating then hopefully having their profile verified will help with this.

We've always been a community website and never a platform for free advertising, since there are already many other websites that people can go to for this. However in the case of web models, we recognise that this can be a big part of their life and a talking point for other members, so we felt that they should be allowed to mention this on their profile.

Getting a verified profile should be a simple step for anyone not interested in free advertising and making money. All you need to do is upload a photo of yourself holding a sign saying Fantasy Feeder. Just go to your profile page and click the 'verify' button (top right).

Thanks fo voicing your concerns. Please let me reassure you that we want to encourage web models to get their profile verified as much as anyone else. We already consider many of them to be top quality members and a great asset to the website.

The problem is that we do get some people that come here who's only interest is to make money, which is becoming an increasing source of frustration to many of our members. In an open website like ours where we actively try to encourage new members to join, it's almost impossible to keep out fakes and spammers. This isn't just a problem on Fantasy Feeder, it's internet wide, for example it's estimated that at any one time over 50% of Twitter accounts are fake or spam accounts. We have worked hard to try and keep automated spambots from creating accounts and have had some success in this, but real people who try to lure members in, in order to sell them content or solicit gifts are harder to distinguish. It can be particularly frustrating for members looking to date, to put time and energy into getting to know someone, only to find that ultimately they just want to get money.

The verified profiles should help with this, and if we can encourage enough people to get their profile verified it could be a useful search tool.

Thanks for your kind comments.

Get your profile verified to increase your website status. Click the verify button on your profile page for more details.

We've now introduced a new feature to the website which allows anyone to apply for a verified profile. The idea behind this is to make it easier you to quickly find and get in touch with top quality members, people that are who they say they are, and have a genuine interest in feederism and related subjects. You will be able to recognise verified profiles by a green 'shield of approval' icon on their profile page, and you can also search for them in the profiles search.

For your profile to be approved by an admin, you will need to meet the following criteria:

You should not be soliciting for money or gifts
You'll need to remove all requests for money or gifts from your profile, along with links to paysites, wishlists etc. You'll also need to cease any begging or soliciting activities.

You need a completed profile
It doesn't have to be 100% complete, but it should be interesting and informative, and should have an avatar.

You need to upload a verification photo
The verification photo should show your face and a sign saying 'Fantasy Feeder'. For privacy, this photo will only be seen by admins and will not be displayed anywhere on the website.

Any profiles that no longer meet the criteria may be un-verified.

Profile verification is completely free and anyone can apply, so what are you waiting for? You'll get extra status on the website and have nothing to lose, except maybe 5 minutes of your time. Just go to your profile page and click the 'verify' button top right. We'll try to check off the profiles as fast as we can but please be patient, since most of the admins are volunteers and it will be additional work for them.

This is great feedback and much appreciated. It's a lot to take in, so may take me a while to give you a full response. We're all the time working to improve the stories section along with the rest of the website, so will give all these points due consideration.
