POF : Deleted my POF app today because of the spam
That’s all there is now… spam, spam, spam.
Woke up to 15 alerts today because of spam. I’ve met some pretty awesome people off this site before so it’s sad that it’s being overrun by spam.

I have been using POF since 09 and I have not encountered spam ever. I do notice that it is hard to actually get good conversation off of it. I have had good luck on POF though
I’m about to do the same myself. I haven’t ever really met anyone on POF but always kept it as an avenue (I’ve made a few online friends)
But, however… this past month or so I get spam accounts and nothing else. Every morning there are a dozen or more Melissa2352Melissa, Aaliyah237351Aaliyah, Erin98612Erin, Taylor8961Taylor, etc… you’d think POF would make an algorithm to eliminate these, but instead I’m just going to eliminate myself.
I left OkCupid about 6-8 months ago for this same reason. Fake accounts made me feel like I was just being « Free Moderator Guy » by taking time to report every single one I came across. No enjoyment, just a second job I don’t want to volunteer for.
Tinder and Bumble have fake accounts too but it’s nowhere near this bad due to the requirement of Facebook.
I had good success with POF, but I was not in a metro city, traveling to any big city I got a lot of bs profiles. I’d usually fuck with them a lot, they would end up blocking me cause I’d bug the hell out of them.
POF today for males and females is getting to the point of people deleting their accounts because of spam, married people, not using current pictures or correct pictures at all, bottom of the barrel people of society in general.
I’ve seen users with profiles for years even decades and still single or they just want to browse when they’re bored. They’ll delete their profile and create a new one with the same pictures and sections so they’ll be new and claim they’ve been on for a few weeks.
