ORIGINAL: samboct I think something similar has happened on this site. Finsub is an uncommon kink. 1 findomme looking for the finsub- not a problem. 10 findommes looking for the finsub- no big deal. 10,000 findommes looking for the finsub- problem! 10,000 findommes and the 100,000 scammers acting like Findommes- BIGGER PROBLEM! And this is what we've got now. Please note- I have no way of distinguishing between genuine findomme (someone who gets sexual satisfaction from getting money from men/women or TG) and scammer- someone who's happy getting money from anyone by deception. But as has been noted- you have to slog through a lot of profiles to find someone to connect with and it's not a fast or easy process. (Speaking as someone who has made non-virtual connections with people on this site.) Having to plow through more profiles of wannabe findommes and scammers makes the process even harder. Wanna help solve the problem? Report the profiles that violate the TOS-it's a few seconds of your time that might help this site a nicer place to hang out. Sam Are finsubs really that rare a commodity? I have no idea what the stats are on this, but it seems plausible that there must be a certain supply of finsubs sending money - otherwise all the findommes would go away. Is that assessment incorrect? From some of the profiles I've come across, I do get the feeling that pickings are rather slim, as numerous findomme profiles seem awfully bitter about "fakes." That tells me that it may not all be biscuits and gravy from the findomme side, as I'm sure they deal with a lot of pranksters wasting their time. Some of these findommes seem even a bit naive and put themselves at risk, especially when they put their real name on their Amazon wish list. There are some profiles I've suspected might be scammers or fakes, but without really knowing for certain, I would more likely refrain from reporting anyone. Also, the statement about not sending money to other users, I read that more as helpful advice, not a hard-and-fast rule of the site. There's no real mechanism for sending money through this site anyway, as it would be done through Pay Pal, Amazon, or some other third-party service like that. It does say in the Terms of Service: quote:
7.3.12. You will not use Your profile or any other portion of the Website or Our services to promote any other business enterprise, unless otherwise permitted by collarme.com, nor will you attempt to use any of Our services to promote an escort service, prostitution, web-cams, or any other form of related enterprise; Of course, this includes the phrase "unless otherwise permitted by collarme.com," so it seems that financial domination may either be permitted or not considered a business enterprise. It's their site, their call, and their decision to enforce their own TOS as they see fit. There are some profiles which seem to come across as parodies, as if they're making fun of the lifestyle. I don't think that their presence is quite so tragic, though. As others have mentioned, it's a free site, and there are some things that users have to put up with. I don't even go to some news sites anymore, since the incessant advertising bogs down the site and makes every page take forever to load. That's the kind of stuff that ruins websites. At least this site is reasonably user-friendly. Sure there might be some improvements that could be made; I think any site is like that. I don't know that findommes on this site make it all that hard for subs - or at least, not any harder than it is. There are some profiles which seem to go out of their way to insult male subs, but I figure that's just part of the shtick. But some seem so judgmental and filled with utter contempt. It's commonly said that people shouldn't criticize or insult other people's kinks, but a lot of the findomme profiles seem to do exactly that.
