Important! Please read and vote!

Dear members,

I am thinking about ways of streamlining the photo moderation process. There are some things I'm planning to do, this includes clarification of the existing categories, as well as examples for each type of moderation.

One of the things I'm considering is eliminating the "mild" photo category. The mild category is, presently, for photos in underwear, speedos, lycra, and in general for photos that are not really X-rated, but are just a bit too "sexy".

At this time, mild photos are handled exactly like "clean" photos, with one exception: they are hidden from unregistered visitors. This is a small benefit, and one that I considered for a long time to be important. On the other hand, mostly due to the many shades of gray between "clean" and "sexual" content, the distinction between clean and mild made moderation harder, and as a consequence, slower and less consistent.

There are basically three things that can be done:

  • Merge the "mild" and "clean" categories. This might seem like a small change (after all, mild photos behave almost like clean photos, right?), but it is a big philosophical departure from the original roots of AllFighters. The original idea was a fighting personals site. Going this part deviates from the original path in favor of a fighting and dating site.

  • Merge the "mild" and "xxx" categories. This is a return to the site's original notion. It will affect a bunch of members, though: about 1/4 of all photos are "mild", these photos will disappear overnight.

  • Leave things as they are. After all, we have lived with the "mild" category for a while now.

Please consider carefully, and vote. As always, your comments are welcome.

What should happen with the "mild" photo category?

Dear members,

Since our start, the Terms of Service has never changed much. The site, and our membership has, which has prompted me to update the site rules.

Please read them carefully!

The following rules have been removed:

  • Please avoid uploading shocking, naked, sexually explicit or scandalous photos or text. It is no longer forbidden to upload these photos, although they will not appear on your profile.
  • Please avoid being off-topic (e.g. politics). This has not been much of a problem, so I felt it wasn't necessary to put in the TOS.
  • Our server is in Hungary. You have to obey laws and regulations of the Republic of Hungary, and that of your home country. The server is no longer located in Hungary, and enforcing local laws is outside the scope of a site TOS anyway.

The following rule has been modified:

  • The rule about hostile behavior has been clarified with the following sentence: "The only exception to this rule is setting "abuse flags", any other form of personal attack or harrassment is forbidden."

The following rules have been added:

  • You may have only one profile. Using multiple profiles is forbidden.
  • Marking people you have not met as "past opponents", or writing recommendations for them is forbidden.

These new rules serve an important role in eliminating sockpuppets and fake past opponents.

If you no longer agree to the new terms of service, please discontinue using the site.


Edit: Thank you everyone for responding! It's cool to have your support. :) Enjoy the site!

I have managed to fix a bunch of entries from the Suggestion Box this week:

I have also closed some unpopular old entries that didn't seem relevant anymore. All in all, about half of the suggestion box entries are gone, so submit your new ideas! :)

I am currently working on a Mobile (lightweight) version of the site.

5000 Members!

Hi everyone,

This week, our site has passed the 5000-member mark! We are now officially a crowd :)

It is not going to last very long, though, because I plan to disable profiles that haven't logged in in half a year starting sometime next week. This is going to affect around 600 profiles. Disabled profiles will no longer show up in the members list and you will not be able to send them messages. However, if the owner of the profile logs in, the profile will be instantly restored.


Another change I am planning for the near future has to do with date formatting. Dates appear in many different places, like your messages, the Events page, user profiles, etc.

Right now dates on the site are always formatted as "2011-06-12" meaning the 12th of June, 2011. This is an ISO standard date format, but is a little bit confusing to some members. For example, our USA members are more used to a 6/12/2011 (or even 6/12/11) format, while the United Kingdom prefers the 12/06/2011 order. (And there's many more).

My plan is to make the date formatting dependent on the user's language, so the date formatting will be closer to what you would expect it to be.


While we're on the topic of changes, it is now possible to sort the user's list by country and name, which is somewhat better for the "Who is on chat?" page than an alphabetical list.

– Admin out.
