Many members can be verified, and plenty haven't been, so a missing badge isn't a warning sign by itself. A badge is a note that a check was done. Reading the person behind the profile is a separate job.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp style=\"text-align: justify;\">Age verification works differently. A member who enters an age under 18 at sign-up is routed into age verification before the account can move forward. Later on, when our systems detect signals that a member may be under 18, age verification is triggered too, and that member must complete it to continue using Fanforus. A member who can't confirm their age receives an email stating that their account has been suspended under the age policy, along with an option to reply if they'd like the decision reviewed.\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch3 id=\"what-happens-after-i-report-something-on-fanforus\" data-toc-id=\"what-happens-after-i-report-something-on-fanforus\" data-title=\"What happens after I report something on Fanforus?\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">What happens after I report something on Fanforus?\u003C/h3>\n\u003Cp style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can report a user's profile, a profile photo, a photo sent in chat or mail, a post in the newsfeed, or a message in a private conversation. There are two kinds of reports. Report content flags one item, such as a message or a photo. A profile report flags the account as a whole for concerns like suspected impersonation or an underage user, and the two go to separate review queues.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp style=\"text-align: justify;\">After you submit one, our Safety Specialists begin reviewing the case. If a violation is confirmed, action follows under the Terms of Service. You get an email once it's resolved, and a confirmation appears under the content you flagged. The person you reported isn't told who sent it.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp style=\"text-align: justify;\">You don't need proof, and you don't need to be certain. If something feels wrong, that is reason enough, though a report starts a review, and a review takes the time it takes.\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch3 id=\"whats-free-on-fanforus-and-what-isnt\" data-toc-id=\"whats-free-on-fanforus-and-what-isnt\" data-title=\"What's free on Fanforus, and what isn't?\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">What's free on Fanforus, and what isn't?\u003C/h3>\n\u003Cp style=\"text-align: justify;\">Registration is free. Some features are paid, so the platform isn't fully free to use. You may also see paid tools described elsewhere as premium features, and it's the same group of tools. Amounts stay out of this FAQ, and our support team can answer questions about a specific feature before you use it.\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch3 id=\"how-do-i-start-a-conversation-on-fanforus\" data-toc-id=\"how-do-i-start-a-conversation-on-fanforus\" data-title=\"How do I start a conversation on Fanforus?\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">How do I start a conversation on Fanforus?\u003C/h3>\n\u003Cp style=\"text-align: justify;\">On the Fanforus website, two tools help with a first message. Icebreakers are opening messages that come as templates, and you can send one to several members at once. Fanforus supports conversations with members who have opted to receive messages or shown prior interest, so choose recipients whose profiles held your attention for a reason. Private chat starters work inside a one-on-one conversation and offer prompts when you're unsure what to write next.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp style=\"text-align: justify;\">Around those tools sit a few quieter ones. Likes, playful signals, and follows show interest without a message, email letters give you room for a longer note, and photo sharing works inside a conversation. You can also just write your own opener, which is often the better route when one detail in a bio gave you a specific question to ask.\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch3 id=\"what-should-i-put-in-my-fanforus-profile\" data-toc-id=\"what-should-i-put-in-my-fanforus-profile\" data-title=\"What should I put in my Fanforus profile?\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">What should I put in my Fanforus profile?\u003C/h3>\n\u003Cp style=\"text-align: justify;\">A clear photo, a few specific sentences in your bio, and accurate details. Location, age, and gender inform the search filters, so accurate answers help the right people find your profile. A line like “I’m learning to juggle with oranges, and so far the oranges are winning” gives a reader something to ask about, while “I like good conversation” gives them nothing. Browsing can start before any of it is finished. Reread the profile once before you save it, and trim anything you wouldn't say to someone you were talking to for the first time.\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch3 id=\"how-do-i-keep-my-personal-details-private-on-fanforus\" data-toc-id=\"how-do-i-keep-my-personal-details-private-on-fanforus\" data-title=\"How do I keep my personal details private on Fanforus?\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">How do I keep my personal details private on Fanforus?\u003C/h3>\n\u003Cp style=\"text-align: justify;\">Keep phone numbers and addresses out of your profile and your early messages. Automated tools on Fanforus help identify the sharing of personal information in conversations, but the decision stays with you. That goes for people who sound friendly, too. If someone pushes for details or wants to switch to another app right away, treat that pressure as worth noting, and remember you can report or block at any time.\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch3 id=\"how-do-the-search-filters-and-the-newsfeed-work-on-fanforus\" data-toc-id=\"how-do-the-search-filters-and-the-newsfeed-work-on-fanforus\" data-title=\"How do the search filters and the newsfeed work on Fanforus?\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">How do the search filters and the newsfeed work on Fanforus?\u003C/h3>\n\u003Cp style=\"text-align: justify;\">Search filters narrow what you see by location, age, and gender. Set the location filter based on whether the location is relevant to you, and leave it open if it isn't. The newsfeed is where members share posts and updates, and a post is a handy source of something specific to ask about.\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch3 id=\"how-does-fanforus-handle-photos\" data-toc-id=\"how-does-fanforus-handle-photos\" data-title=\"How does Fanforus handle photos?\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">How does Fanforus handle photos?\u003C/h3>\n\u003Cp style=\"text-align: justify;\">Every photo uploaded publicly goes through an automated AI review before it appears. If it breaks the community guidelines, it isn't published, and you're told right away. Should you think that was a mistake, you can submit an appeal through your account settings. The review runs ahead of publication, so it comes first.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp style=\"text-align: justify;\">Photos sent in Fanforus chats are reviewed, too. Illegal content is removed automatically, and sensitive content is blurred, with the recipient choosing whether to reveal it. A blur toggle in chats and mail also lets you decide whether sensitive incoming content appears by default or remains blurred until you choose to view it.\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch3 id=\"what-if-i-need-a-break-from-fanforus\" data-toc-id=\"what-if-i-need-a-break-from-fanforus\" data-title=\"What if I need a break from Fanforus?\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">What if I need a break from Fanforus?\u003C/h3>\n\u003Cp style=\"text-align: justify;\">You have two options, and they're different. Stepping away is separate from any cost considerations, and Fanforus keeps both options available if you ever want a pause. Deactivation hides your profile and pauses emails, and you can reactivate whenever you like. Permanent deletion is a separate step that requires final confirmation, as it can't be undone.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp style=\"text-align: justify;\">If emails are the issue, general email notifications can be switched off, while security-related emails continue to arrive.\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch2 id=\"follow-fanforus-online\" data-toc-id=\"follow-fanforus-online\" data-title=\"Follow Fanforus Online\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Follow Fanforus Online\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp style=\"text-align: justify;\">Questions don't end with this page.
