Earlier quoted context omitted.

Does the way people use your product determine if your business is legitimate or not? If you did much IRC back in the day then you know that no such site will need to make fake women accounts to get guys to sign up. There are enough people who get a kick out of pretending to be a girl just to prank guys.

The business masquerades as a way for men to meet women to have sex with. If all of the women are fake accounts made by employees, then I would not consider it to be a legitimate business. In fact, I might go as far as to say it's fraud, much along the same lines that shill bidding on ebay is fraud.

Did you read my comment? They would have to be incredibly stupid to make fake accounts of hot women. Enough men/ugly women would do that for them.

I suppose it is but now they have set a new thing--when sending a message the default is set to use 100 points everytime by letting you know when the person has read the message. I once had 1564 points--now I have 864 because of the new default. I complained and they restored 200 but what about the rest? I don't care when my message is read but if I did, I would click on the box so that I WOULD know. Another way to rip you off, huh?
