Skout photo

Hello, I keep trying to post a photo and it keeps getting deleted. There is nothing inappropriate about my photo.

Many girls on this app have photos up with almost their nipples sticking out. Also see through shirts where you can see their nipples and in thongs where their whole butt is showing.

So i don't understand why mine keeps getting deleted. It shows a lot of cleavage but nowhere close to my nipples. I have attached the photo to this message.

Skout fill phone number.

I don't see why I have to fill out this box as a human being you should have a option if you want to put in your phone number so you could get more personal or we should have an option not to it's like you guys are forcing us to put our personal phone number I already have my information on my profile why do I have to put in my phone number just to verify that I'm human I'm freaking verifying that I'm human complaining to you about this [censor] I think that's enough to verify that I'm human. Is ridiculous it seems like it's mandatory like I have to like you're putting a gun to my [censor]ing head just to fill out my [censor]ing phone number. Yes I am upset excuse all the curses but I'm very upset about this whole week on this app and now you guys ask me for my freaking phone number.

Skout rude users

One day on Skout a few weeks ago, someone made a post and I commented on it (not really saying anything bad, I was just stating my opinion) and these two users (Jacob and Boywar27) starting attacking me out of the blue saying that I was ugly, and that I will die alone and that I don't have a boyfriend because I can't do anything right, etc. I screenshotted and posted two pictures of their comments down below.

Skout I can't login due to the ask of a phone number. I put in my phone number and it says it's a none valied phone number but it obviously is

My email is [protected]@gmail.com and please email me for help. I loved in before with no problem but then I kept going to this screen asking for my phone number. My phone number didn't work for some reason, so I uninstalled the app and reinstalled it but that just seemed to make it worse because now I can't even log in. The screen said if I got the page by accident, then to contact support.

Hello, my email I use (linked through facebook) is [protected]@gmail.com
Every time I try to send a message, it says please fill in, so I put my number, and it says it is invalid. Please fix this.
If you need information regarding any photos I have on it. Just let me know at my email. I enjoy talking with the people on here. But this part just makes me a little annoyed.

Skout being blocked

HI my name is James, and I have really know idea why I'm blocked from account. From what I read on the "Please fill in" it said many people think your fake and that they wanted to give my number out. Which find nothing bad at all, but while I tired that, it didn't except myphone number in USA. Anyway I've told people when I text them that I'm not fake, I give them my snap if they really think I'm fake your some type of app to actually see the person. So it be amazing if u guess can fix this problem. I would appreciate it. Please notify me on my email which is
