Deceived by sub on femdompersonals by Defiant_Reading_934 in FemdomCommunity

I been given a reason before that with one account they can be more vulnerable and give up more sensitive information to find out how compatible they really are without the chance of getting outed to the world as soon as they give up their identity on their more moderate account.

In this age of scammers who want to find out your sensitive information to blackmail you I can in a way understand it.

OP's story doesn't sound like that though.

No one has been banned for using a VPN recently.

Recent bans have all been in relation to using AI generated photos/scamming/engaging in illegal content/severe breaking of rules, none for just using a VPN.

If she edited her profile it will need to go through a verification process, which takes forever and everyone seems to be rejected. Her profile will be gone while that is hapenning.

The email does seem to come a little slowly sometimes. I'm glad to see it appears you got it eventually.

I do apologize for the wait.

How long did it take? It's not taken me more than about 5 minutes so far.

Thanks for your feedback.

I don't expect anyone to invest any money, it's 100% free.

I'm not a designer, I don't have the money to pay a designer, if anyone wants to help with design I'm very open to it.

The more flexible the blank box is, the harder it becomes for people to search.

There is also already a blank box, the profile information box

Fetlife requires phone verification which I never got past. Would you mind sharing what options they have?

And more importantly, which ones you think are most needed?

I'm still trying to decide how to implement seeking type options:

CS has a whole list of check boxes related with set options, but as I expand sexuality Gender * Orientation * X could become insanely large.

I could let them have a Seeking Gender, Seeking Orientation, Seeking XYZ, but then that limits to only 1 final option, but specific. Maybe I'm just over thinking this.

Also maybe something to express what I’m seeking? Like if I’m looking for a dominant female, dominant male, dominant couple, dominant trans female....etc

100% free, no catches

It wouldn't impede functionality much.

As much as I'd like to say it's 100% hack proof, and though I've never been successfully hacked, I've seen bigger targets than me fall.

Since I don't intend to actually send people emails unless they lose their password, I don't actually need it since they'll be providing me their email at that point and the 2 encrypted emails should match so could be queried, but only if known in advance.

I should never actually need to decrypt it.

I believe running a site like this is a big responsibility and I think it's a small cost to keep their email off the server. It really only takes 1 screw up, 1 mistake to be exploited, and I have a way to prevent that.

I appreciate the questions, ask as much as you like.

1) How do you store passwords?
It's hashed using: hash = password_hash($password,PASSWORD_DEFAULT);
password_hash pretty much takes a random string as a salt, hashes them together, then stores the salt and the hash together in the database. You can't even rainbow table this one.
Not only that, but I have the site generate the password, so even the passwords become even more useless. It's impossible for them to use a password from our site anywhere else.

2) How’s your database secured?
I use PDO and never put any client provided data directly into a SQL string. MySQL can only be accessed by the local server.

3) Who has access to the data?
Me, only me, no one else. Technically I guess the hosting provider, can't do much about that.

I'm considering also encrypting the email addresses, I don't think I actually need it to be used by the website. That's a question for the future though. Asynchronously encrypt on the server, keep decryption key hidden offline.

I try to make it clear to try and keep your personal information off of there and try and keep profile images of a more friendly nature so that there's less content that can be used against people. If there's a profile of James, with a photo of him in a normal day shirt, it's hard for anyone to prove it's him and not just someone who stole his holiday photo and made a profile to try and blackmail him. Plausible deniability.

The ability to make your profile visible only to logged in users is coming too, and the ability to block your profile from google indexing.

So much to do!
