Couldn't they just do a new profile when this happens?

@xlace38x: Ya i think those people need to get their heads examined.

Yup, and they'd have to start all over again. Eventually, they will give up and find easier victims on other dating sites that don't have our anti-scam features. Why waste time continuously creating new profiles here when you can just go to another site and scam people for as long as you want on a single account? That's the basic idea: make it more time-consuming and expensive to scam our users compared to other sites so that they stop trying here and find an easier site to scam.

Plus, we always have the option of tying Karma Scores to phone numbers, so we could easily force their old Karma Scores on their new accounts and still not display their Profile Pics.

I like that idea

But what about the porn stars with positive karma. Is there anything that can be done about them?

i like that idea too

yes they do

I don't know why people give them Positive Karma, but there are some solutions I'm looking at to detect fake pics. However, there's only so much we can do at the end of the day. At some point, users have to take responsibility. We give you more tools than any other dating site to separate the real from the fake users, but if people still want to chat with an obviously fake profile that has no verified pic, and then give them Positive Karma to boot, then that's up to them.

It just might work.

I just saw a profile with -5 karma AND a pic...
