Why meeting people online works
If you are nervous about meeting people online, relax, you are going to enjoy it! It is becoming more and more
accepted and is, in fact, a very effective way to meet people. In our busy world with our busy schedules, finding
time to connect with people is difficult. This is where the Internet and other safe, interactive environments like
CaffmosCommunity.com really help. And with an ever-increasing number of people going on-line, the Internet will give
you access to a LOT more people that you could find by other means.
Is it really worth being a member?
Yes! With our membership growing every day, and the ease of searching the members database, makes the Community a
great way to meet people. Many of our members find it invaluable.
Is membership to Caffmos free?
Yes! We offer a free membership. Caffmos was not created for financial gain. It was created and run simply to offer a platform for like-minded men to find support, as well as form new contacts and friendship. Of course there are costs, websites are not cheap to run. But we hope to be able to cover these costs via member support and site advertisements/sponsorship.
How can I support Caffmos?
For a site such as Caffmos to be a success it requires members! So by registering you are already offering your support. In addition to this you can support with a small annual contribution which goes directly to assist with the daily maintenance and running of the site, as well as its future developement. In return Caffmos rewards those contributing with a Premium membership called "Gold", which offers unrestricted access to all features and a multitude of extra facilities to use and enjoy. See the Support/Upgrade pages for more information.
Is paying online safe?
Absolutely. In fact, we have out sourced the whole credit card (Visa/Mastercard) payment system to a company
that specializes in this. Credit card information is encrypted and we never see it. Furthermore, the whole payment
process is done under industry-standard 128-bit encryption.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes! to My Profile - Account page where you wil find a facility to delete your ccount and remove your details from the Caffmos dadtabase. No questions asked.
How secure is the site?
The site was professionally built to be as secure as possible. Your billing information is never shared and your
email will never be sold to other companies. All email correspondence is done through a special process, under our
supervision.
Furthermore, we have people ready to help you if you have any questions or concerns -- we provide priority service
to paying members due to the volume of emails we receive. Note however, that we are not responsible for the posts and
content on the site as it is member provided. So the more of YOUR friends you tell about the site, the better the
quality of community online you have. :)
Can I sign up a relative or friend?
You may be a parent, relative or friend of a person Who's profile you wish to post on this site. In this case please
fill out the questionnaire based on what you know about the person that that you intend to sponsor. And don't forget to
post their photos on the site. You can then log in and monitor the mail for your friend and forward appropriate profiles
to them.
What do I get with Gold Membership?
The Caffmos Community's Bronze membership is completely free. There are a few restrictions due to bandwidth constraints. However you may become a supporting member, a Gold member. Gold membership offers full
and unrestricted access to all features. Gold membership is gained by a small contribution. See the Comparison chart.
How do I log out?
The securest way to log out is by clicking on the 'Logout' menu button. However, this will de-link the 'automatic
login facility' . By simply closing down the browser you will automatically be logged within a few minutes. From a public
terminal, it's best to click on the Logout button.
How do I edit my Profile photo and Picture Album?
You can upload a photo to your profile through the Photo management page, found in your My Profile - Account section. It is also through this page that Gold members can add additional photos to their Albums. Album photos can also be password protectd for additional privacy here too.
How do I change my location - my password - my email?
Click on the My Profile - Account link found in the site menu (left hand column). From here you edit your profile, preferences, username, password and email address here.
How do I improve the search results and find people who will suit me? (and like me!)
Make sure your location is set (this is heavily used). And for quickmatch, make sure your profile is filled in as it
is used. Fill out ALL of your profile as this will attract people who have similar interests/tastes to you. Of course a
photo will treble the interest.
What's the best way to meet people (in real life) from CaffmosCommunity.com?
Okay when you've messaged and chatted with someone online and you like their profile, you may decide to meet each other.
Here are a few tips for you:
- Don't believe everything you read. Lots of stuff is made up in Cyber-land. Make sure you've seen a few of their
pictures and got to know them a little before meeting up.
- Don't give your email, phone number, or personal contact info until you know someone. You can always safely chat
with them online in the Caffmos Lounge or café (Chat rooms)
- When you do meet, start out with a public place -- perhaps a group meeting with multiple people from
CaffmosCommunity.com. Check out the events page for localised events.
- Again: the first meeting should NOT be a romantic date, rather a friendly get-together.
Remember we are NOT responsible for what happens on your date or meeting (re-read the Terms of Use agreement). You are
a fully grown adult and responsible for your own actions.
I saw something inappropriate online! Now what?
We are not responsible for what is online and expect maturity from our members. However, if you see something which
offends you, please notify us and we'll clean it up. Caffmos does not condone pornography. Please support us ! More info
can be found within the Terms & Conditions.
Why aren't I getting mail from other people?
Check your profile, make sure it is complete. Fill in all areas so your profile is interesting to read. Add a photo.
You're not going to get mail by having an incomplete profile.
RateMe: My rating and my votes don't seem to match.What's up?
The official CaffmosCommunity.com Rate Pics scores are normalized to account for people's different voting style. Some people
seem to rate everyone very low, while others rate everyone really high. So we have a program that sees what someone's
rating style is and adjusts their rating for others accordingly.
Many standard scoring systems use normalization techniques, including the Olympics and the tests people take to get
into college in the US.
I am not receiving any email message allerts. What's up?
First make sure that the options set out on your EDit Profile page are set correctly. If so, you may find that your email service provider's mailing constraints blocks incoming mail from certain Internet Domains. You can request them to allow mailings to your account from the CaffmosCommunity.com domain, or create another email account with a free provider such as Yahoo (mail.yahoo.com). This actually offers an extra degree of discretion and privacy if required.

We are here to support you! All members - silverdaddies, mature gay men and admirers. If in need just email us with your problem and I will endeavour to assist you to the best of my ability. John
