No there shouldn't. It would be open to abuse. You should do more thorough research on the people you plan to meet.

Jamie,
We suspect like very many others we don't have too many issues with other members on the site. Sadly, occasionally they can occur though as Frecklebird has advised, it's all in the 'research' and chatting with the people you plan to meet.
One of the optional enhancements earlier this year was Shrep
refer http://www.swingingheaven.co.uk/assets/documents/shrep_001.pdf
Shrep means Swinging Heaven, or SH, reputation system. It is in three parts consisting of a Site Rep, a Meet Rep, and a Vouch system. Our members wanted an honest way to find out about the reputations of other members who use the site whom they might not know personally. This is of particular use if both parties are considering a meeting with each other or attending a social event of any kind.
It is a unique and complete reputation system with three parts based on how members conduct themselves with others. It will also help new users generate a positive Shrep even if they have not met anyone yet or just choose to use the site socially providing their conduct is satisfactory towards others. This could subsequently help new members to secure a face-to-face meeting based on their site conduct, even if they have had no previous meets. It also gives people that you actually do know away from the site the opportunity to check your profile details and “Vouch” they are correct.
Benefits of the Meet Rep system are:
* It is a consensual system that is used only by two members mutually using the Shrep system. It has a built in diary and planner and is a great way to manage your SH social calendar with other members.
* The system allows for complete flexibility around dates and times providing both parties have agreed to the changes.
* It ensures that random members cannot have any affect on your Meet Rep in either a positive or negative manner meaning this feature is far more effective than any others used elsewhere.
* It will encourage improved communication and discourage members from simply not turning up to a meeting without explanation or notice.
* This system also asks key questions about the member or members you agreed to meet. This will ensure that members represent themselves properly on the site and don’t gain meetings under false pretences.
Now it's not utopia and only some members use it, however it can have benefits when trying to arrange meetings.
For those who might mis-represent themselves, have a look at the AUP http://www.swingingheaven.co.uk/main/aup.html
in particular "•Holding an account type that is deceitful to others."
Hope this helps,

Hi,
If you have come across (definitely no pun intended! wink

) an account that is deceitful e.g. a male advertising as a couple then please report it to us. If you press the report profile button then we can investigate.
However I would say try and speak to both the male and female of the couple on the phone early on in any exchange of mails etc so you can assure yourself quickly that they are who they say they are. Or try and get to a local social and meet people there.
