Bear411.com / Bearworld.com bear411 user has my profile posted on facebook

A user didn't like my constructive criticism and posted my comment from here to a group on facebook. TuckerPup is the user on here from Salem Oregon. It violates the group policy on facebook and I have contacted both the admin of that group and the member to remove the post. It reveals my hiv status and my picture which I do not want. I also do not feel it is right that he is using mine and bear411 intellectual property on another site when this was a private message as well to him. If you check the logs the user is still contacting me to see if I would date him?

Bear411.com / Bearworld.com bear411

Similar to others, was on for a couple of years. but generally the same o same o, seldom if ever actually hooked up with anyone. But my biggest complaint is how outdated the site is, not always easy to find people you've talked with or are interested in, there's no place to contact the moderator about issues,
and MOST IMPORTANTLY, when you pay to sign up there's a clause that any renewal charges will happen automatically forever, there's no way of canceling one's membership, finally had to go to my charge card and they
canceled the charge, and thus ended my membership.

Bear411.com / Bearworld.com website and credit card renewal verification

I tried several times to renew an annual subscription to this site only to run into Verotel blocking me. I wrote them to find that they discovered I was on a fraud list. I called my Bank Capitol One 360 and they had no clue what list Verotel was using. I tried to get Verotel to contact my bank and even supplied the information to contact them. This was like talking to a brick wall. I then solicited the moderator/founder of the site itself. They system was automatic and would not allow any further contact. Over a week went by and this site refuses almost all things considered normal for paid members. My friends were frustrated and buddybear that runs the site seems more interested in new subscribers than retaining current or in my case former due to their credit card verification supplier. He had done nothing as I said, he was worthless until I told him to cancel my account and delete my profile. He seemed to be able to jump on that. If you experience anything aside from normal this Canadian run site and their Netherlands's run credit card verification company are not for you! Neither of them are capable of dealing with anything out of the norm.

Bear411.com / Bearworld.com blocking logging on

It use to be a somewhat decent site. Way back when if you were not a paying member based on your nickname you would only log on even days 2 4 6 ect or odd days 1 3 5 ect. Of I brought a membership after the odd conversations one has when the other person is only on the days you are off! It was not month after I bought a year membership the odd / even thing was totally dropped. So I never brought a membership again. Starting fall of 2013 I would go to log on, and get that chat was so popular that it was reserved for paying members. No biggie as I did not have to be on right then. However 2, 6, 9, 12. 18, 24, 36, 48, says later I still could not log on. Just get by a membership. 5 days later I was able to log in and get to go through 39 emails that had backed up. Now I have no idea when I will get on or be blocked for day or more. Now many I use to chat to have left the site, cause of this BS. If they want to have to have a site that is worth paying for the sure need to make it better. Lots of "new and improved features" most are just gimmicks.

After numerous attempts to remove my profle from their site, I started looking for answers from Google. I found this from one previous member and thought I would give it a shot. I was told to post this message in my profile and it would be deleted...

"Non-paying members of the site are reporting that the site no longer offers the “delete my profile” option on the profile change page. Which means if you want to delete your profile, you have to pay for a month of a service you’re trying not to use. It also means the site owner has your information and you cant delete it."

Similar issues as other reviewers. The site is coded from the 1990's, and the total number of members is actually quite inflated, the actual active member count is quite low. The site just went thru another week of 'only VIP members (paid) can log in', and oddly enough my paid subscription had just run out days before... I think it's set up so it locks you...

I attempted to re-join this site. I had a membership under a prior username and deleted it some years ago. I then received an e-mail enjoining me to go to GayDaddy.com (which is Bear411's way of saying you've been rejected for Bear411.) If you Google "Bear411 issues" there are quite a number of blogs and forums regarding the issues people have had with the...

This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I joined the site for free. After a few visits to the site, I was blocked access unless I paid. I decided to subscribe for a month, after that month, the same thing started happening, some days it would allow me in, other days it would require me to pay in order to access my account. Now I'm trying to delete my account, and the site will not allow it.
