lycraismyfashion and spandexismyfashion contacted me personally to remove their accounts, so they can start anew with one profile.

I'm noticing a sharp uptick in the number of empty profiles on here with absolutely no photos and very little information. It would be great if all profiles were required to post a minimum number of photos, and verify an email address.

[...] if it's not a rule violation so just putting this out there as a question of whether it's a problem.

Lycralad41 said it already. they aren't fake profiles, but empty profiles.

I've seen an increase in usage in general. this will also mean that new users will increase as well. Now it's our turn to make them feel home, so they can pursue their fantasy and fill out their profiles step by step. Maybe even my turn to make completing a profile an easier task. I will have more time thinking about this one.

Yes, the format for filling out a profile is rather disjointed. I'm much more likely to welcome someone when it's clear they're genuinely interested and fully invested in the lycra/spandex fetish rather than someone who's just casually sightseeing while they're trying to maintain anonymity. That may be an unpopular viewpoint to hold here, but it's mine nonetheless. I generally block people if they make a crude or distasteful comment, or it's clear we just have vastly differing interests. In that instance, my profile wouldn't appear. It's far simpler to block someone than getting into a needless exchange.

Love this take about being welcoming in the expectation that you're dealing with people who may need a little encouragement. The blocking of people who have highly different interests: I have been reluctant to do that mostly because I didn't want them to see that they were blocked and assume something bad vs. my actual intent of "seriously not my vibe." Maybe some kind of mute function where you don't see their content and they don't know you've muted them.
