Gaydar.net avoid like the plague 25 February 2019 Reviewer: Rik from Manchester

A couple of years I go, I left Gaydar appauled at the way I had experienced a group of cyberbully, keyboard warriors who were being protected by a moderator on the site’s Manchester room. I felt at the time that until the “Support†team really got to grips with the collusive, tag team bullying, I wanted no part this dreadful site. Since then, it would seem that the site has been revamped. I would like to share with everyone, my experience over the past week or so.
To be as brief as I can, nothing has changed or so since I last joined other than the size of Gaydar which seems to have shrunk to the size of a puddle which now is overrun with internet “trollsâ€.
There are at least half a dozen people who regularly misuse the Manchester room. I am more than happy to be ignored when speaking in a chat room. However, individuals would actively make rude obnoxious remarks and would object to others chatting in what they would call “their roomâ€. This immature behaviour is the stuff of playgrounds yet it is the action of supposed adults. To compound the issue, the Manchester room is moderated by an individual who both socialises and in turn then colludes with these people whose behaviours are in clear breach of Gaydar’s terms and conditions. I have in the last week taken scripts from the site in order to qualify all the remarks I am making in this review.
I believe that the moderator of the Manchester room and in turn the ineffective action by the “Support†team to be the reason many people have left and stay away from gaydar.net. Many guys have commented as such to me recently.
My desire is not to exact any type of revenge with my report, but I do feel strongly that I should add this review based on my experience. It is a shame that what ought to be a positive, friendly, adult experience is unfortunately nothing more than a playground for clearly inappropriate behaviour which in turn is ignored or endorsed by the inaction of the sites moderation process. It is worse than the lawless wild west in that sense and I would suggest that anyone wishing to avoid detriment to their mental well being would avoid this website like the plague. Time has proven that the leopard simply cannot or will not change its spots.
In summary, I would not recommend Gaydar to a friend.
