TurtleDate Announces Dating Site Profile Approval Policy Change
(PRWEB) July 9, 2006 -- Almost everyone in the online dating world has had them- contacts advertising products guaranteed to increase sexual activity, relationships sought by foreign beauties who desperately need money, contacts from wealthy foreign royal business owners needing assistance transferring large amounts of money... the list goes on and on. Some find these contacts humorous, most find them just downright annoying, and a few even fall victim to them.
TurtleDate.com has toughened up their policy on profile approvals, requiring more deliberate action on the part of "suspect" member profiles. What constitutes a "suspect profile"? Any profile which appears to be:
1) "Spoofed" (a term used to indicate that the member has typed random words and sentences in order to meet the minimum required character counts).
2) Using an unacceptable or known high risk email server or is originating from a high risk IP address.
3) Indicates a global location outside of the primary demographic area being served (the Northern American continent).
4) In any other way appears to require further validation at the discretion of the TurtleDate.com site administrators.
Already in effect at TurtleDate.com, any member requesting a profile approval who has a "suspect profile" will be required at their expense to interact directly with a site administrator to provide secure detail information confirming their identity. Members who fail to respond to this requirement do not get their profiles approved. End of story.
Well, not quite the "end of story". TurtleDate.com is different from main stream dating sites in other ways as well. "What else makes them different", you ask?
Most dating sites force both members to be paying members before two-way email communication can occur, but they rarely reveal that up front. They say "only you" need to have a paid subscription to begin contacting others. What they don't tell you is non-paying members can receive mail, but they can't reply back until they are also paid members. Some sites don't even let non-paying members READ their email until they've purchased a membership. TurtleDate.com vowed during its conception (in 2004) to never use this kind of "bait and trap" up-selling practice. Instead, they offer a square deal where non-paying members can both read their email, and reply back for free.
Finally, they have more contact initiation choices. They offer both term subscriptions (which allow unlimited contacts during the period of the term), or contact stamps (which last until they get "spent" or until the member cancels the account).
TurtleDate.com isn't big, or trendy, and as the name implies- it's a little "slower paced" than the more widely known dating sites. But in the online dating world, when the security and privacy of members is a priority? Going a little more slowly might just win the race for some.
