right. I'm the CTO. I'm not sure what I can do to combat the perception that I sell snake oil. I don't sell snake oil. I help people meet each other.
If you really WANT snake oil I guess I could find some and get it to you.

Your site either uses fake accounts to trick legitimate users into paying to view messages from these supposed hot women looking for dates with horses and guys who have just signed up yet haven't provided any personal details...or you have a very serious spam problem where bots are running rampant across your site with hordes of fake accounts trolling for new profiles to scam (or a combination therein).
As evidence, I just logged in to my woome account, which I haven't logged into in maybe 3 years, and immediately I got a request for a video chat from http://www.woome.com/sallyl3462/ . Who wants to get laid tonight? Sally does!
I don't think that's what robin is trying to say tho.
We are simply trying to make introductions happen as much as possible because that's what people use woome for. To meet new people.
It seems to work, to my knowledge our users are generally happy we have good time on site, repeat vistits and viping.
It's not that hard to spot users messaging new users during the first few minutes. If one user does this multiple times, just ban him.
1. Delete the fake bot accounts
2. Re-word your homepage so that it is clear to users that you need to pay money to do anything useful
3. Come out and say 'in an effort to ramp up user engagement we went too far and made a mistake. apologies'
I signed up for your site years ago. I have slowly watched it progress from something useful to a totally degenerate spam and bait site.
(Edit: I will add that if it is your affiliates who are doing the spamming, then ban them and put in better controls. I just logged into my account and got 3 messages in less than a second)
