Accepting the challenge then takes away a lot of the fear. No need to avoidit.

Hedonist, I agree, suicide by eating is not very practical. Mostly people seem to die after the WLS.

What I've seen a couple dating sites do is a *really* good idea. And that's send photo verification. Ask a user to send a picture to the admin when signing up, copying a gesture (like one finger to the nose or something). ...
Maybe for a fee if you want the little badge next to your name.

GrowingLover, I did sort of hesitate about allowing members to judge other members because as you say it can backfire. However if you have limited 'likes' to award each day then that might moderate it a bit.
There should be no limit on reading messages.

Not having your messages replied to does hurt a little. Obviously people get accustomed to that online but then that all adds up to it being a cold place where people scam you and let you down.
We have all experienced these feelings at some time online.
StarSmoke, I'm not entirely clear why you don't bother using the message system at all. Is it because you just get 5 a day? In which case my idea that content creators could be awarded more messages as if they had paid for them could work.
I way of showing that a person is real is a good idea Gingerbeard but I don't think actual ID is a good idea. After a while it becomes obvious who the scammers are. There should be a way other members can award good people and maybe put a question mark against the baddies. Simply seeing the length of time they have been members is already helping me. I could improve my own standing by posting pictures but I don't wish to be that visible.

I did not know there was such a thing as a porn licence.
A very simple tweak would be to boost the message count of those with popular content. Those people often have a lot of people to respond to.
A way to do that would make replies free of charge, not affecting message count.
I'm a net consumer of the site rather than a contributor. Contributors getting some breaks would encourage more contribution and maybe encourage more consumers to pay money.

Empty calories. Drink them.

What's the better strategy? Drinking diet soda to feel less full or drinking regular soda to just max out calories?
Diet drinks mess with your metabolism. The body prepares for sugar because of the sweetness. But there are no calories so it craves what it's not got. This is why diet drinks are so fattening.

Several SSBBW from the 1990's are now dead. Betsy, CindyG, Teighlor and quite a few others who passed 600lbs.
Yes it happens. It is a consequence to be considered. The risk is part of the acceptance.

It seems to me that those posting pictures add value to the site and those viewing pictures receive value from the site.
Each photo posted should credit the account. Each 'like' should credit the account as should each view.
The credits can be drawn from those viewing who are spending their credits to view and like.
Credits can be purchased for money using the subscriptions.
The values for each can be tweaked for best results.
The idea is then that those who provide the site with it's value, the people posting the photos that others want to see can get to use the site for free or even make a bit of money.
I think this is something like how Steemit works.
Any suggested improvements on this basic idea?

I see there is an advertisement for one of these on this site. Has anyone graduated to having to use one? I ask because I have been thinking that I might do so myself. If you have, what do you recommend?
Most of the full sized scooters will take a very fat person. Get a 2nd hand one and see how you get on.
