This site is full of scammers and bashers... administrators will not help you if you get harassed in forums or chat... They say just click ignore for the chat but there is no feature to permanently ignore. I had been a member 7 or 8 years and unjoined for about 2 months a joined again. When I came back they had one away with the IM feature so I went into chat to talk in real time... The IM feature didn't work for a lot of members anyhow.... IN the chatroom I got called ugly and other names I wont say what all but a much older man and a much older woman who also recruiter others to not talk to me and such... I contacted administrators and a friend who is still on the site has a list of the usernames that harassed me for a week of going into the chatrooms nightly..same people. I clicked report each night when it happened.... my friend who is still on there says each of the same members who harassed me still have accounts and have not been banned... I got a message from the administrator that said that repeated reports of abuse was an abuse of the feature its self even when all over the site it tells you to report scammers and other offensive behavior. I was telling a couple other people what the message from the administrator said because they had seen the abuse...we all had been complaining with each other because the rooms are not monitored or have admins in them at all times... rarely although some users play around in there and claim they are administrators... I Never knew over the years who the administrators were and who wasnt one. I never used the chat until recently... so anyhow none of my harassers appeared to be in the room at the time... although some "ghost" which means they can be in the room and now use up on the list of people in that room... next thing I know I logged off the site by force and it said I was banned. I Have never been banned from a site before... I don't use bad language or talk sexually on a site.... I am not a scammer or ask for money or use a picture that's not me...all that stuff... I respect beliefs in others...
I emailed admin again and never heard bad... I emailed the group over them and never heard back... Its been a number of dates... Bottom line I will never rejoin.
LIke I said there are a lot of scammers on there with it being a free site. There are members that are not Christians and may be in other religions. The site does not believe in discriminating religiously. Normally its a site for singles only (including those who considered themselves separated)... I did however get messages from people claiming to be married by just wanting friends... The site has no way to indicated that you are married in the pull down menu so just like on anything else there could be people married by looking which most christians feel uncomfortable about. since everyone should be single on the site...they would all show up if someone did a browse type search to find someone to message. There was a married girl bothering me on the site in chat... I also asked admin about that...she also still has her account according to my friend.
Also I must mention that there is currently at least one guy on the site who is looking for "wives" to build a polygamist family. I am just letting you know some of the stuff you will encounter. Several of us felt uncomfortable about that profile. It was worded in a way that just leaves you with a nasty feeling. It was a user from USA too (where polygamy is illegal). That user is not banned and admins never got back to any of us about if that's allowed on the site. It probably follows under "we do not discriminate".
SO you may get harassed in chat... you might get messages from married people or those looking for more spouses or whatever... people in other religions or no religions...they may bash beliefs you have...
I took a long time looking through their list of successes....
Its not shocking to see how many of them are old white men with young women from Asia or Africa... I don't believe in saying many marriage is wrong since everyone is an adult...18 or older (unless someone lied about their age...the site of course has no way of knowing if someone lied on their account)... I am just pointing out that a lot of success stories were this kind of relationship and it might change your mind about joining it if you are not an old white man or young African or young Asian woman. I am not saying there were not other types of successes listed on there... one of my friends pointed out on the site that there are some successes that don't sound or look real and she wondered if they might have been paid by the site or someone on the site listed a made up success... on the other had I've seen or talked to some of the ones listed as a success....
Over all I regreat the time I put into this site... there as only one person I ever met from the site and we only hung around each other for about 6 weeks...it never became anything....
In summary, I would not recommend Christian Dating For Free to a friend.
