Not sure what you mean by "fake". People are here with varying degrees of anonymity. As for people here for dating, I never encountered anyone online for dating back when I was doing that who doesn't ... embellish for marketing purposes.

The way to detect that someone might be in touch with you to lure you to their place to be made into a lampshade, is the same as on any site. Turn the sensitivity of your bullshit detector all the way up. Make sure any initial in-person meeting is in a relatively safe, public space, etc.

Eventually some way to become a "validated user" might be nice for the developers to consider. Two-factor authentication, if available and turned on, would at least verify that an account hasn't been hacked / taken over or used by someone other than the account creator -- so you're not talking to someone's child or niece or spouse posing as them and dicking with you or whatever.

Yes a few, I reported them. Like AmiSue said, Admin is super fast to remove them.

You actually just gave me a great idea. I should change my account from IamNobody to IamFake and for the picture I think the possibilities are endless !!!!…...but, nope... I have been and always will be IamNobody with no picture. Is my account fake? Is it yours?

Not that I know about, but I don't really mind as long as they're not being vexatious on purpose.

A couple, tried to sell me some god.

Yes, several people, one of whom asked me to date him exclusively, right away. Yet when I asked for his real name, he began hedging, and refused.

I usually block them the moment I feel suspicious.

Yes, sock puppet accounts are present on here, and I've been harassed by some already.

Yes, people have. They don’t last long if they are scammers. Also, from what I understand, a few people are not using accurate pictures or descriptions of themselves.

Interesting comment.
Have you?
How would you identify it as fake?

What is your definition of a fake account?
