I used FabSwingers for both the social/swinging side and the forums. On the site side I never had much luck — profile visibility was poor, messages went nowhere, and despite being polite and genuine I struggled to make any connections. I’d always assumed that was just how Fab worked for some people.
More recently I took part in the politics forums, keeping everything civil, factual, and firmly within the published rules. Without warning, I was permanently banned from the forums with no explanation. The rules say users “will receive a message explaining what you did wrong,” but the message I received didn’t cite a single post, rule, or example of misconduct. When I asked Admin for clarification, I was ignored. After the ban I discovered my whole account had been quietly shadow-restricted: I stopped appearing in searches, my verifications disappeared from other profiles, and I was even blocked from buying Site Supporter. None of the people who mocked or targeted me in those same threads were disciplined. As a trans woman, it’s hard not to see this as discriminatory in effect, even if the intention wasn’t stated. I’m sharing this so others understand how moderation and visibility actually work on Fab — opaque, inconsistent, and with no recourse when something goes wrong.
In summary, I would not recommend Fab Swingers to a friend.
