Benji,

Not sure it was some “weirdo” personality thing. We reviewed your chat log and it most definitely did NOT belong on a G-rated site. It was pretty hard core, and certainly not G-rated.

We get reports every day from women flagging someone, and when we go to send them a “thank you for flagging this user” message, we see they have removed their profile and left the service, probably because they were offended. This is why we take all this very serious. It scares users away, particularly women. As with most dating sites, for every woman there are two or three men, so the last thing we want to do is scare them away.

Hi, my name is Benji and I’m probably exactly the type of guy you had in mind when you describe the over familiar weirdo, however I think I’m just misunderstood. You see, the problem with the Internet is that it doesn’t utilize Mans best communication techniques – body language, and tone of voice, which compromise 85% of our message, while our words only make up a mere 15%. I’ve made plenty of friends on DNA over the past year, however it took a long time for people to warm up to me, seeing as how I’m kind of a wise guy, and they have no way of knowing. Unfortunately, some people took me the wrong way when they were describing themselves as victims of cheating, and I went on to share my story as “a victim of cheating” and how I was sadly “caught in the act by my third wife” and how “painful it was to have to make up more lies to cover up all my other lies.” I then asked for some helpful advice. They didn’t take to kindly to my joke, and now I am banned. Most people found that funny, however some didn’t pick up on my failed attempt to make them laugh. Now I am writing to you in hopes that you can find it in your heart to re-activate my account. Thank you for your time.

-Beni

Kevin: As per the emails we send you each time, you keep uploading fake photos that are not you. Users are banned who do this repeatedly.

George: A dating site can’t help you close the deal, any more than a site like Monster.com can help you get the job. All a dating site can do is try to help you become exposed to more people. The level of attraction, how well you personalities match, etc. will be up to you and the other person. As for scammers, you may want to try some of the paid sites, as they’ll have a lot less problems that way, as scammers don’t want to pay. It’s one of the downsides of a free site like ours, although we do a pretty good job of keeping them away, it’s not possible to keep them all away before they contact a few users.

I have to commend you guys. You got a great system in action of Zero tolerance, but I’m getting disillusioned. I’ve been doing internet dating on various sites now almost 3yrs, and all I have to show for it, is only 2-3 real coffee dates with women who lied, were in real life much older than their photos, and basically unsuitable personality wise. I’ve encountered an overwhelming number of fakes and scammers to such a degree that my emotions are now completely numbed. And for the rest, I’m totally fed up with the rejections, often for no real reason, and those that don’t answer when I contact them. I’m overly suspicious of everyone who contacts me. I’m now on the verge of completely giving up and deleting all my accounts on other sites including here, because It really seems, there’s someone out there for everyone else, but not me.

Orane: You can search for users who live anywhere, but you have to have an accurate location for where you live currently. Most spammers and scammers are from outside of the US but target US users, so we’re very strict on that.
