Frequently Asked Questions on Gay Hook Ups

First it is a policy of the site to require a photo of the member be uploaded. The photo can be locked and not up for public view, but your profile will not be approved if no pictures have been uploaded of YOU.  Say what you will, but guys are 14 times more likely to look at a profile with a photo. And members with photos get up to 15 times more attention than those without one. So you can be nice and funny or you can be nice, funny, and get more attention by adding your photo today.

You can take a break by hiding your profile at any time. Just log in and click on My Profile at the top of any page, and make the appropriate selection under Visibility Options. But remember…you never know when that one person might be looking for you

Depending on the number of profiles and photos being submitted at the time your changes should be reviewed within six (6) hours.

Approving profiles is something that takes a great deal of time and resources. Because we are an adult business on the web there are certain legal standards that must be adhered to.

We have developed our standards based on the Guideline Communications Decency Act and other legal guidelines that have been developed for adult web sites.

We do not permit pictures that risk our business nor do we permit any personal information this is a risk to the member (such as a private email address or phone number) to be posted on any profile. The bottom line is we must approve profiles to protect our members and ourselves.

We make every effort to ensure that the most up to date content is displayed. We approve profiles throughout the day and night, a profile will rarely sit more then an hour without being approved or rejected.

In order to place your profile you must be logged on and on your “Home” page On the bottom left of that page you will see a box labeled Important Tasks. The last entry has a box labeled Your Status where you will see the option to put your profile on hold simply click on it and the status will change from “ Active to “On hold” You can reverse this action by selecting to make the profile active again.

Well we hope that never happens but understand if it does. Just login and click on the “Profile” tab on the top menu then select Edit Profile on the right side of the screen. From there go to the bottom of the about me” page click on the link “Profile Unregister”. Please make note this action is irreversible and once you confirm the selection your profile and all content will be permanently deleted. 

We do review all profiles prior to them being given a "reviewed status" and approved for permanent inclusion on the site. We do have certain guidelines when we review profiles and will not approve any profiles that violate the Terms of Use for the site, or that suggest in any way illegal activities , child abuse or any other actions that place or may place an individual in harms way. You will be advised if a problem has been located in your profile and given the opportunity to resolve the issue . If corrections are not made within three (3) days the user account will be suspended, if after thirty (30) days the account remains suspended it will be cancelled without further notice.

Again standards include but are not limited to:

No reference to children is permitted
No reference to sex with animals is permitted
Escort profile or any references to money are not permitted
No profile may mention the use of any drug use or other illegal activity
Outside email addresses or web address are not permitted
No ad may contain disparaging remarks about gayhookups.net  or any individual regardless of if they are a member or not
We apologize but ads posted by women are not allowed as this is a male adult network

When you click "ONLINE" all the men that are online now in the area you are browsing in are displayed

What happens when I click Rate Photos?

You will be presented with all the members photos that you have not reviewed. You will have the opportunity to rate a picture between 1 and 5 as you do so the next picture will show itself until there are no more photos to rate.

You will see a numbered photo pictorial of the members getting the highest votes on the site.

When you click MEMBERS the profiles that exist in the area you are browsing in are displayed

When you click on Top members you will see a list of members in your area that get the most attention on the site.

The headline on your profile stands out and helps to attract attention to your profile.

The headline is always visible, site-wide. A headline is required, and can be a maximum of 64 characters in length.

ABSOLUTLTY, and we encourage you to do so. The only way you can make sure a bad/dangerous experience never happens to another person is to report to us and if needed the authorities. Remember this is supposed to be a safe and friendly place to meet people, and we need to come together as a community and think about the bigger picture. As a whole group looking out for one another we can achieve this. We have all encountered situations that the person has not been held accountable because we did nothing. In doing so we allow another person to experience the same thing again and like it or not each of us are responsible for letting that happen.

As with your profile, your old pictures will remain until member services has approved the changes in your profile. You may however lock them if you don't want them to be seen until they are deleted.

We use a double-blind email system to preserve your privacy. It replaces your real email address with your username, then forwards your messages to the members you`re emailing.

Please note: If you reply to an email from another gayhookups.net member directly from your email program, make sure you've turned off your auto-signatures and auto-responders. If you don`t, you could unintentionally send your personal information along with your message. Read through your responses to make sure your actual email address does not appear. Also, be sure not to copy (cc:) or forward email to yourself when you send a message from your own email program.

No!

Like the saying goes what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, and although we do scan messages for words or phases that would clearly be in violation of policies and place anyone at risk we will not allow that message to be successfully delivered. We will notify you of the reason the mail or communication was stopped and provide you with the words or phases that we blocked. We do not see your entire email only the objectionable content.

You can email us at memberservices@gayhookups.net or phone us at 800-681-4806 between 9am and 5pm est.

At our site, we don't tell you what type of relationship is right for you or if you will find what you are looking for. Our goal is to broaden your social horizons, and our belief is that by meeting a variety of people, you will find that special someone. And that can happen a lot sooner than you think. People from your area and all over the world are drawn to our site. Some seek casual relationships while others search for great friendships that will stand the test of time. Yet, regardless of the end result, we believe that... EVERY RELATIONSHIP BEGINS WITH A "LETS MEET"!
