    I was wondering if it would be possible to implement a verification by other members of the community. I’ve had wonderful experiences IRL with ladies from this site, but I think that It would help, specially for us men, if ladies could verify us, in order to establish a good reputation as a nursing partners!

    What do you think, ladies and gentlemen?

    I have considered an idea of “Recommendation” , it would likely work something like this :

    – a “Recommend” button on profile, when you visit a users profile you can click the button to add your recommendation to their profile. Other users visiting the profile can see the list of users (avatar & name) who left a recommendation.

    – so it’s basically a “rating” system, with only positive ratings allowed. No down rating!

    – only Verified members can leave recommendations.

    – possibly when a user gets past a threshold of recommendations (eg. 50, or whatever) then they get automatically Verified with the blue checkmark? Possibly.

    – the main issue with this kind of thing is that it ends up just as a popularity contest, without any real merit.

    Anyway, food for thought.

    That would be great, especially for women who’ve met someone in person and want to share their experience—good or bad—and give an honest rating.

    Very good idea! 👍🏻👍🏻

    Edit: I don’t think there should necessarily be a down or negative rating but probably a “Caution” one. For example if a woman had a bad experience with a man it would be helpful to other women to be cautious.

    The idea sounds good. I think it would save some ladies some time of awkwardness trying to figure a guy out. Not sure if the automatic verification would be worthwhile. Like you said it could turn into a popularity contest. O would like to see it develop. One lady could even contact the one leaving a comment if she had specific questions about the guy. It may open up another level of communication in the community.

    To be clear : no comments as such could be allowed. Users are not allowed to leave any kind of downvote, negative comments, caution warning, or anything similar. Why? Because it would be an absolute recipe for disaster. He said, she said, he did this, no I didn’t, he’s lying, no she’s lying … etc. A complete mess.

    Any kind of “recommend” system would be super simple, literally a thumbs up. No comments. No thumbs down.

    What about men leaving positive comments about women they have met on here to ?

    I like the recommendation option. No comments, no negativity. I love to cook and bake, but Michael’s recipe for disaster is not in any cookbook I use and I like it that way.

    Not Interested in a ‘rating’ system. Too subject to personal bias. What may good for the goose may not be good for the gander.

    i’ve thought about this, as well.

    totally get Michael’s perspective – recipe for disaster if free text/thumbs down are options.

    perhaps rather than ‘recommendation’, could be called a ‘vouch’ system. then it’s not about any ABF experience with someone per se, but more about character.

    just my 2 cents

    I think it would be just like, no need to even disclose the identity.

    Count me as another “no” vote, for many of the same problematic reasons already mentioned.

    I could even foresee unscrupulous users soliciting “up” votes in their profile essays, to boost their weak self-esteems or fake their desirability as a partner, thinking that a higher rating would increase the inquiries they get.

    Not a fan of populariry contests in any way shape of form. Often popularity is self proclaimed.
    However, I think this question doesnt mean to do that. Its about safety. As we all know, not all messages are kind and respectful.
    It would be nice to protect people by having a wau to warn other users.
    When several people do have the same experience, you cant sY anymore irs personal bias. Its time users who get harrassed are believed. Not protecting assholes!
