I know there is a plethora of fake pics on ratings sites and there always will be, but now they are conversing with people on the message board and it's just stupid, for lack of a better word.

The motivations for doing this are still beyond me, and most people on this site. It's not like it's very hard to fool people by using fake pictures. We have no good way of knowing who is legit or not a lot of the time unless someone recognizes the pics from somewhere else. It's akin to walking up to a stranger on the street and telling them your name is John, when it really isn't and then being like, "Wow, I can't believe they fell for that!" What the fuck were they supposed to do, immediately suspect that you're lying???

I was wary of both panda_bear and blonde_jessica from the start but I by no means knew for certain they were posers. I am always immediately suspicious when people include face shots right away. Not saying that others that do so are fake but it is a definite tip off. There are other little things to that can be chalked up to intuition I guess.

So how do we stop this? There is no good way to weed all the losers out, but there is a relatively easy way to make sure most people are legitimately who they say they are. Just have all new girls who submit pics also submit a pic of them holding up a sign that says ratemymelons.com or drawn on them or something. That pic could be put in their profile pics or something so that one could easily check out someone's legitamacy. Some girls may feel insulted that they are being made out to be imposters, but it would totally help this problem that keeps coming up. This site has WAY less fakers than most ratings sites, so let's keep it that way.

Maybe have a contest to encourage girls to submit pics with RMM and the most creative reply wins. Someone else may have suggested that idea for a contest but in the spirit of the thread, I am stealing it and calling it my own

That is all.
