If there are my fab spies on here I'm guessing I will know by the morning as I would be banned again...
As a couple that love to socialise and club owners that need to promote and introduce ourselves this is a sticky situation...
I have a personal profile and a business profile on all sites, some I use more than others, the problem I have is that a couple of admin on the F place are friends with a rival local club to me, so any bad reviews that are left for the other club, mysteriously appear on my club profile and there is sod all I can do to get them removed, I have no issue with getting a bad review, we don't suit everyone and never thought we would, but a genuine review is one thing but a misplaced review is quite another. I have no access to my club profile and haven't for nearly five years despite constantly asking to have access so I can update it. Every time we post as a club we get banned or have totally innocent posts removed, so we can do very little.
Personally, we are honest on our profile that we are club owners but state that this is our personal profile as we still like to have fun away from business, so whenever I post or reply in forums I get told off, or banned etc.
We are all aware now that clubs that are not "up F's bum" don't get looked after or even fairly represented, there are to many moderators that are obviously biased to one camp or another, and even party organisers at certain clubs that are admin on there...will they allow your party to be above theirs? Obviously not.
We have seen the issues that if you mention another site etc on a site that's not acceptable, and I suppose that's understandable, but when you cannot mention any sites away from them....that constitutes bullying, if I tweeted I'd been to asda, would I get a life time ban or threats from tesco? No, tesco would do some promoting to get me to go there instead, it's called fair competition.
Sadly the only way we can stop this is
1, vote with people power and turn our backs on them, and get as many of our friends to also
2, as individuals and as business people report them to the competitions and markets authority
The crux of the issue is, do the sites need members and business's or do business and people need sites? If every member that has been bullied walked away, would they survive, yes because new people always come along that don't know the issues and have not been on the receiving end, if all the clubs banded together and left, would private members follow?
Sadly as the biggest swingers site, they have most of us over a barrel, we need our names on there all the time other clubs are on there, sadly all clubs do not stand together and communication between clubs can be pretty awful in general.
The solution as I see it, is we all do our hardest to get people onto more friendly sites and hope that Google takes notice and the good get higher rankings than the not so good, so more join the good and forget the rot.
