Filtering newsfeed based on content type
I'd love to be able to go to the global or personal newsfeed and click and option or select a post and make it so that kind of content type doesn't show up in your feed.
So if let's say someone posts a video and you don't want to see videos (not everyone loves 80's nights) then you can filter them out and only see the real posts
This is different from having your own newsfeed vs the global feed because if the people you're following get caught up in a video frenzy then it'll show up in your newsfeed too.

Look I am going to be honest here. I at one point liked Grommr and Chasabl. But I feel like there is absolutely nothing there except for guys whoring themselves out for money. I have given the site plenty of chances and to be honest. I'm quite over the word fetish. I want something that will benefit the gay community and give everyone a better chance. Fantasy Feeder is pro LGBT. Hell even a better gay community that isn't fetishised is better than Grommr and Chasabl. I just do not like the arrogance of the websites. Also can you atlest at some point while adding an LGBT website not to have married guys on it and open relationship types or in a relationship types on it. I could do without the relationship crowds. Not like you guys at Grokio LLC read my posts and take it under consideration anyways. You have your popular crowds on here ?

There is a ton of panhandling and people just asking to have food bought for them in the feed anymore. We need a better admin presence around here and more people need to be banned, at least temporarily, to stop this stuff. I've seen, just today, 3 posts in the feed in a row asking to be fed.

Add a tag for Content Creators, and enforce that anyone looking to extract money out of this place must wear that tag, so we can filter them out.

We need a filter to sort through profiles on who is selling content and who is not. It is genuinely annoying to look through profiles to see if someone is only here to sell content and not have a convo. If i am here to talk, meet new friends or find someone to date, i dont want to be bombared with profiles saying they sell content and thats all they care for. Its anoying to try to have a decent convo with someone only for them to say "hey wanna buy my content?"

(this isn't be being mad/salty) I think there should be a tab at this point for those profiles whom want to be solely model based. I mean the ones who seem like they're going for more of the donation route than anything else. It's always a bit disheartening talking with someone then them asking for money two messages in. Even just some little mark in the corner of their thumbnail pic that shows us that they are here for mostly donations. Even a filter that shows people who look at themselves as models. I hope people understand what I mean. This would also show who are making videos n' such.

While these sites are ostensibly geared first and foremost toward socialization and dating, I have observed that a non-trivial number of profiles seem to indicate a person's interest in the a site is solely to use their profile as a no-cost surface to increase the visibility of their personal business solicitations which are unrelated to the network's stated mission, and of which the network does not receive any tangible benefit.
If someone is using a site on the network for dating/social purposes, profiles of this nature may be tantamount to third-party advertisements. I believe it would be mutually beneficial to everyone's interests if, as a user of the site, a person could:
- Set their profile with some sort of indicator that they are primarily seeking business inquiries.
- Set their search or filter to indicate that they do or do not wish to see profiles of this nature in their results.

It would be helpful if Feabie would somehow denote profiles of people who are here only for financial transactions.
I'm not judging. It's all good.
But if there were some symbol, like $, on profiles of people asking for money in some way for interaction, those of us who are here for something deeper wouldn't check out those profiles.
Please, before you flame me, all I'm advocating is profile demarcation indicating intent. From there all partied can engage in an informed way.
Just one man's opinion...

Clipz4sale, gofundme, buymesomething.com...the newsfeed continues its plummet to be nothing but ads.
If you want community, these need to be banned.
If you want ad income, then just show ads yourself. -

I would love to be able to block posts with certain words or phrases in them. Specifically drug usage, because it triggers my PTSD symptoms. If not that, then maybe just a "hide this post" function, so I don't have to keep scrolling by it on accident. I've been blocking people who talk about it often, but I worry that I'm getting close to my block limit because of it

There should be a marker or a special profile that can be activated for people that are just on here to advertise their paysite, or sell their pictures, underwear, etc.

For paying members I would recommend adding a feature to the search that applies a "not" criteria for the search, such as "Not a Feedee", "Not a Woman", or "Not Married". I think that wouldn't be too hard to implement and would be very useful for searches. Of course it would have to work with searching for things too, like: searching for women who are feedees, but not identifying as a BBW.
Another filter for paying members that would be amazing at saving time is to hide profiles who have a primary interest in making money through video/skype-shows/gifts. There are so many profiles on here built around wanting to get money for food or money in general. Posts are limited for advertisements in the current terms but it would be nice for profiles to be moderated by somebody who looks if the profile is built around solicitation to mark it as a profile that can be hidden.

Lately on feabie, we have seen an influx of “feedees” looking solely for “online feeders”. Profiles are purposely deceptive and list interest such as ‘relationship’ or ‘casual encounter’ but it becomes very obvious in conversation via message that the sole interest with feabie is to sell content or have money sent with no exchange whatsoever. If users are required to disclose that they have a financial interest with feabie on their profile, users could filter that out via search to eliminate the noise and ensure time and effort in conversation are spent on those who align with them in use case and goals. If a user does not have that interest listed on their profile, but asks for money via message, the message recipient could report them for that behavior and ensure they have their profile appropriately categorized moving forward or suspended.

Ban donations, donations have been abused by users it seems, creating a system where unless you can pay, then the entire site is unusable. You are in effect blacklisted from talking to nearly anyone onl the site as a result, thus making the purpose of the site null and void. As well, donations allowed the abuse of those who aren’t who could be easily manipulated into giving money as there is seemingly no one willing to chat who doesn’t want money. Third, the defacto pay wall is not advertised, and you don’t find out until you join. And donations have been used by porn stars and others to ding up revenue for products that this site does not see.

Absolutely. I second this. I get fed up of entitled people contacting me just to hassle me about giving them money.

People are growing tired of seeing begging posts on the newsfeed. Posts to the global newsfeed should be flagged and sent to an admin for approval before posting if it contains the following words.. "Paypal", "OnlyFans", "Patreon" and "donate" or any combination thereof. Alert the user their post is in a queue for moderation. I think you'd find the site would improve dramatically without the begging culture that has been allowed to fester.

ban donations. too many people demand donations to talk to you. thus defeating the entire point of this site as being a fetish oriented dating site/ community board. it has gotten way out of hand and unless you pay no one will talk to you.

people using these sites to profit off other members is anti-community and should have never been allowed in the first place.
If people want to make paid pornography, they can do that on xtube or any other number of sites.
You can't call this "community" and allow people to prostitute themselves. It's nothing but toxic for any semblance of "community"
But then again, the site owners are really only here to make money too, so of course they have allowed it :(
