@VirtualCuddler In all honesty- I've been debating the same for the past few weeks. I've met SEVERAL great cuddlers on this site and am in contact with potentially more, but because I'm voicing ACTUAL ways this site can be improved (and it's not surface level stuff), I'm being threated with a ban- Go figure!
@great_pillow08 while I do disagree with your stand on said moderator it doesn't bother me that you have that opinion or voice it. Hell, you can even hate me by name if you want (although, I don't think I'm the one that you're clashing with as much). I took issue with the way your last post was written not that you wrote it. If in doubt about a report you need to make feel free to send it my way or @CharlieBear 's way if you don't feel like you'll be heard going the normal route. I can assure you that as mods we don't hold grudges when it comes to reports. Trust me. I have ruled in several of my least favorite peoples favors because they were right. I'll add that you are far from my least favorite person.
@GuyverGordon you can come out now.
@stormydaycuddle
You mean you ruled in my favor despite me being your least favorite person ? Man I feel heard
If someone thought I wouldn't take a site report seriously because we had a difference of opinion on the forums...that is not even remotely the reality of the situation here. Also the moderator in question here doesn't handle site reports.
@pmvines As a moderator I can neither confirm nor deny that statement. lol Hugs.
@stormydaycuddle 😄😁 (And now I have spend some time watching this movie)
@great_pillow08 Members make reports. Yes, people can overreact or see things that aren't there. That's why part of a mod's job is to investigate said reports to establish their validity before taking steps. The alternative to self-policing is a mod sitting in every single chat topic all day to make sure everyone behaves, which is a lot to ask unpaid volunteers.
@CharlieBear Thanks for that reassurance. I don't know who's who or what mods "cover" what but for a member to even have to question that is wrong on SO MANY levels.
@stormydaycuddle I don't think I'm "clashing" with you at all. I can totally handle a difference of opinion. The problem comes when assumptions are made, words are put into my mouth, then the judgements and name calling. You didn't do any of that (at least not originally) and I'm plenty old enough to know how not to project and how to stick to the original "offense". That's what I did, and we're most definitely going to have to agree to disagree on this one. At this point, I'm going to assume this is going to be an issue with said moderator again because even from what you stated, they broke the guidelines of being a moderator. I wish I could say I don't care, but the fact remains- I don't know any of you personally and you don't know me, but the benefit of a doubt wasn't extended to me as it was to everyone else (by me). My toxic trait is ABSOLUTELY expecting "me" from others. Don't think for a nanosecond I'm going to just "let this go". There A-R-E reasons there are so few female enthusiasts on this site. Even pros have messaged me and told me things (I hate how vague that has to sound)... but no, I don't have an issue with you!
@WriterGF Mods should step in and attempt to "clear the air", not shut one side or the other up. I'm a nanny and I successfully negotiate WITH TODDLERS all day, so for a "grown" adult to have misused their "authority" in the manner they did is inexcusable to me (and will forever remain such). Maybe the fact that they're unpaid is why the standards to be one are so low. Anyone can tell me the intent of the qualifications, but it was just blatantly displayed that the one in question doesn't qualify- and I've more than clearly pointed that out.
[ @great_pillow08 - you've been timed out 5 times now, all for breaking forum rules: pro bashing, trolling the Pride month thread, and trolling the RIP Ozzy thread with your statement "Unpopular opinion: I can't understand how anyone called what he did "music".." AND disregarding my statement that if you can't be civil and respectful, that you'd be timed out. You couldn't, so I did. You then chose to air your dirty laundry on this thread, so I'm bringing the receipts. You don't get to disparage me or the other moderators here for maintaining CC as a nexus for cuddler enthusiasts, for keeping CC safe, and for fielding the hundreds of flags and reports that this vigilant community create every day. Members here post any and all forms of personal opinions here, but there are also forum rules which I urge you to reread again. Your actions have elevated your visibility to all the moderators, so be very mindful of your future posts. Again, if you can't be civil and respectful, then practice silence, and if you can't help yourself, all of us moderators are happy to extend a very generous timeout. - @Sideon ]
@great_pillow08 I don't know the context, but if that's how you feel, you should at least take it up with Mark, since he employs the mods. But that's up to you.
As long as you only say the right things, and never say the wrong things, you'll be okay.
Back on topic: Whomever fixed the "Favourites" folder by adding an edit button---thereby reducing accidental deletions---thank you. It's much better now.
[ @TxTom - as long as you follow the forum rules, then yes, that's the right thing. -Sid]
Rework favorites and add an option to hide profiles. I travel frequently so will review profiles and favorite for potential sessions. After the trip there's no reason to keep all of the favorites.
Currently we have to keep visiting each profile to add or remove favorites. It's fine for adding if I want to remove favorites or would be better not to have to visit the profile page again. Multi select then remove selected from favorites would be awesome. Even a clear all favorites would be welcome.
It would also be helpful to have sort and filter options for favorites (location, last online in addition to when added).
I rarely want to block someone but would appreciate being able to hide profiles I know I'll never book. The main pic seems to rotate enough that I end up clicking again to realize it's someone I'll never be interested in. This would make it easier to narrow down options.
Kind of curious why deactivated profiles are handled differently between friends and karma. Why not keep them in friends?
Edit: accidental repeat post
I'm curious if there's a way to do a search using Profile names? I often want to contact someone but currently have to search through pages of my inbox to find a past conversation in order to find them.
@ArmsWideOpen The way that I know of is to add the username to the end of the url https://www.cuddlecomfort.com/username
Not sure if there’s any easier way.
@g_w_t_w that's great!!! I did not realize that was doable. Thank you!!!
I’m at work so I don’t have time to see if these ideas have already been mentioned but here goes (I have a few):
•This would be so much more convenient if it were available as an app. Like it should be an app. Who’s with me?
•The messaging system is a bit confusing and I feel like if I’m missing messages then others are probably as well. It would be great to have a way that you could have a phone number through the app that connects to your actual number so when you get messages you get a text to your phone number but you don’t have to give out your actual number.
•A CC debit card would also be cool.
•Adding videos to your profile would be a nice way to show that you are who you say you are and are not catfishing.
•A social media like feed with status updates would be a great way for professionals to let Cuddler’s know if you have same day availability. Kind of like face book or twitter. Adding photos and videos showing what you’re up to would allow cuddlers to get a better feel of who you are and see if you would be a good fit!
•I know we have the forums but a way for local professionals to connect and uplift each other, share tips, give and get advice, become friends, and look out for each other. We put ourselves in danger every time we meet a new Cuddler and not everyone has a support system looking out for them to make sure they are safe.
•This kind of goes along with the last one but sometimes you don’t want to report someone for fear of retaliation. An easier way for locals to communicate and share their experiences would be amazing!
•Lastly I don’t like to ask for a deposit because who am I? I could take a deposit and never show up and the Cuddler wouldn’t be able to do much other than report me. If there was an optional deposit system that the Cuddler could pay a deposit through CC that would not be released to the professional until the appointment time. That way if they do t show up it can go back to the Cuddler and if the Cuddler cancels within 24 hours or ghosts the professional doesn’t have to basically beg the Cuddler to pay the cancelation fee. And if the professional wants to have a deposit prior to the appointment for things like travel expenses they can coordinate that with the Cuddler on their own. Again it should be optional as not every professional/cuddler might not want to opt into that kind of service.
I have a lot more ideas but that’s what I got right now. I love CC and it has changed my life for the better in so many ways. I want to express my gratitude to the administrators and creators for keeping this community alive and giving professionals and cuddlers a way to improve their quality of life and mental health.
Happy cuddling!!
Oh also, if there was a way to show in the search engine that you are visiting an area soon would be great. I know a lot of professionals like to travel to other cities and arrange cuddles so it would be great if that community were able to see your profile and when you will be in town so they can set up cuddles while you’re there.
I just notice that this is an old post but I hope admin is still checking it because I think it’s admirable of CC to value their users feedback and hopefully aim to listen to and implement the ideas of their users!
⬆️ Great ideas, those...
Also, searchable messages, Inbox and Sent folders. Searchable by keyword, User, etc.
And customizeable in ascending or descending timestamp order, or by proximity to the other person's location.
Maybe a verification process? There should be a soft background check that’s all, we are cuddling with people! And that’s for both sides 😊
Is there a way a pro can communicate with a client via phone on the app like FB messenger or discord do? So they don’t have to go off line to do so ? For safety reasons and to not need to leave the site right away?
I have another one. It’s an easy fix. If we could write a caption for our photos so Cuddler’s could get to know us better!
This one might be too complicated but if we could choose to have a “intake” like form for new cuddles so we could get to know them and what they are looking for in a professional and a session. A few questions that we as professionals could pick to tailor it to our needs would be awesome. I used to have my own form on google forms but they wanted some $200 something per year to use their services but my clients really liked it while I was in my free trial period. Haha.
@bear the site sends messages in real time so you can have a instant conversation with someone. It’s how I kept all contact on site when I was a pro. A lot of people don’t realize that it is instant.
Fix the glitch where people outside of your selected distance appear in your searches. For example... I am in NJ and can set my distance at 20 miles... but I will still get people from Miami or Las Angeles in my searches.
That's not a glitch. Folks can have two locations listed in their profiles.
^^^^thank you very much TxTom!!!
Get ride of the fake accounts and get more women enthusiast on this site and make a to feel safe for them.
@Fuffybunnyfeet Fake accounts can only be acted upon if they are reported. If you feel an account is a scammer, report it. Not sure how you suggest they do the other things - just like on dating sites (which this is not), men vastly outnumber women here and I don't know how you change that.
How about likes and dislikes on forum comments?
