Thanks to the 30 people who submitted responses to the survey so far. A lot of the feedback was expected, and there were some interesting additional points raised. The survey will remain open until the end of the month if you'd like to provide more feedback (still seeing some trickle in).

The top issue is clearly and overwhelmingly the number of fake/scam/selling accounts. It's always an issue in a sub like this, and it will be a community effort to address. The actions of the mod team are always reactive, and we react faster with the help of everyone else.

This isn't an easily solved problem by far. A few suggestions did bubble up: * Locking new posts to verified users only. While verification isn't perfect, it's an extra hurdle for a scammer to get over (it's also a hurdle that some real folks may not be willing to clear either, so we may lose some users). * Increasing account age/karma minimums. Since so many posters here use throwaway/second accounts due to the private nature of the community, this seems like it would significantly reduce the number of people qualified to post. I'm also not sure that karma is a good metric, given how many free karma sources there are (even looking at most scammer posts, they're getting cheap meme karma from various easily farmed subreddits - that's one of the biggest giveaways). * Posts by females are almost always spam. How can we solve this making the burden too high for the legit F4X posters? * Being more strict about profile content. To date, moderators have focused on content posted only to this subreddit regardless of the user's other activity, but I think stricter profile content restrictions - such as explicitly disallowing profiles that share NSFW content on other communities - could also be worth consideration. * Adding more mods - I agree! Not much else to add on this point. See here.

Some other topics: * Post flair is pretty useless. Could be improved by either: * Tag with more specific categories like F4M, M4M, etc to improve search filtering * Tag locations around the area. Not sure if we could make this very robust to cover all posts * Tag the goal of the post, like "date", "hookup", "relationship", etc * Doing some more engaging "fun" threads to get people interacting, e.g. a weekly meta thread. * Fewer mens posts and fewer repeat posts. This came up in the past, and the community did vote (by plurality) for a 1 post/day limit.

We'll continue to stew on this feedback before rolling out sweeping changes, but I wanted to let everyone know that the feedback is being looked at. I hope adding more mods is an easy first step to improve the experience, and more changes will be on the way in the coming weeks.
