I have been rejected 3 times
You cannot email the administrator...It is pure discrimination.....Can't we tell
some one who cares? People are
paying good money....It is a business....They should account
and give reasons for rejecting us!
We should have the site closed
down....Discrimination is a serious
offense....We have many who can prove that..... www.bearfront.com/98190

Interesting info,,,I totally agree the way BEAR411 website is run by an ASSHOLE! I have DELETED my profile at least 5 times and all my photos as well. He keeps reposting the images with whatever info he can capture. It's like I have NO CONTROL over my own content or EVEN if I choose to be on the site at all!

What would really help is if 3 or 4 of the biggest other bear sites worked together and came up with a "one login across all the sites" feature, which would immediately give them a bigger combined membership than bear411 has. Then we'd have some meaningful competition in the bear personals market.

But I think what will happen is that people will just keep complaining and not really do anything. I'm posting this anonymously because I fully expect bear411 to continue to be where groups in my area promote their events, which will drive more guys in my area to bear411. It's a sad cycle that I'd like to see broken, but as of now, it's not.

To the poster whose pictures are still in use on bear411.com without permission: as the site's owner likes to send legal notices, you should do the same to him regarding your copyrighted personal pictures. It seems to be the only thing he understands, though since his site still contains no terms of service or user agreement, maybe he doesn't even understand that.
