MeetFighters News
2019 Summer Update
It's been a while since our last update, but that doesn't mean that our team of code warriors were resting! No! They were fighting hard to bring you even more stuff to help you find your perfect matches!
Brand New Chat
Our good old Kiwi chat has long been wrestling with your online needs, occasionally getting knocked out by your relentless attacks. But now there is a new contender in town: we are introducing our new Beta Chat!The goal was to fix some of the pain point of the previous chat and bring a better, more modern experience. You can connect simultaneously from all your devices, seamlessly switching between the small screen of your phone to your tablet or computer. The chat will retain your rooms and private conversations, even if your connection drops or your browser dies on you. It is our hope that it can keep you going even on a limited internet connection.
Better site integration lets you share your pictures, use your webcam and add favorites directly. (Blocking and reporting members is just as easy, if you must.) You can configure the font size and your color to your liking, and share our new Fightmojis in your private conversations or rooms.
Speaking of rooms, you can easily create as many of those as you like. Your rooms can be public and open to anyone, or invitation only. Your rooms and private conversations remain alive even if you leave the chat and come back within a day!
For improved privacy, other members can no longer see your internet connection details.
- Click here to try the new chat.
- Click here to provide feedback.
- We plan to finish beta testing and fully go live in 30 days.
New Privacy Settings, and Terms of Service update
Even fighters need their privacy. To help you give your stalkers that much needed punch in the gut, we present you with some new privacy controls.
On the Preferences page, you can now suppress any or all of the login, birthday and profile update notifications that your fans are getting.
We have also taken new measures to combat online stalking. Blocking someone will hide all your activity from their sight. This includes your online status, your presence in search results and any past opponent lists and recommendations.
To further protect your privacy, events that happened in the past are now hidden from profile pages. (You can still review event participation on the individual event pages.)
Furthermore, unregistered site visitors will not see your online presence anymore. As previously, you can choose to restrict your profile page from unregistered visitors, including search engines such as Google.
Additionally, there are some minor changes to our Terms of Service:
- §1 explicitly mentions that members must 18 years or older. This was previously only covered on our registration page.
- §2 has been clarified to state that hate speech and racism are forbidden in all public and private interactions on the site.
- §3 clarifies what is and isn't covered by our civil code of conduct.
Please review the first three articles of the Terms of Service page for yourself. Your continued use of the site is, as usual, taken as your implicit agreement. If you disagree with the changes, you can terminate your account at any time.
Translators, Supporter and Donors
We would like to take this opportunity to thank our Talented Team of Translators and Super Squad of Site Supporters! Without your efforts, none of the localized editions of MeetFighters would be possible. As always, we are eternally* grateful to our Devoted Donors.Speaking of which, if you are Talented in Thai, Proficient in Polish, Incredible in Italian or Skilled in Swedish, please apply here to become a translator. New languages are also very welcome: get in touch with us and we will make it happen.
And now happy fighting, and may the better warrior win, like that guy on the right, pictured below.

2019-08-09 17:30Thanks for the detailed explanation and all the great work. Did you hide the no-show reports? I just looked on my profile and can't find those reports. Meaning that I probably can't see if someone for example as no opponents and 10 no shows. That was always a big help
Admin
2019-08-09 17:48(Som svar till detta)
Hahah, Ups...
Yes...
setting a flag. i.e. 'no-show' is automatically blocking the member too.
As described above, blocked members can't see the recommendations/flags anymore.
What unfortunately included your own flags...
You should still be able to see 'no-shows' posted form other members, as long as you have not blocked them.
Will be fixed in the next days, sorry.
Thanks for reporting that!
I will make sure our testing department makes 100 push-ups extra today!

LOL
Thanks for the super quick response. I think it's a kinda loophole, I mean I don't care about seeing the info of the guys I marked, but I still want to remember that I marked them (and how many) and vice versa

2019-08-11 20:30Dear Admin. I have an issue with the following.
We have also taken new measures to combat online stalking. Blocking someone will hide all your activity from their sight. This includes your online status, your presence in search results and any past opponent lists and recommendations.
I make my decisions on who to fight based on if they have any of my blocked opponents in their Past Opponent's list. Usually those I have blocked have blocked me as well, so they don't show up anymore in Past Opponents. Any way to relist them in past opponents so I can make a proper decision?
Thank you for considering the relisting of these blocked members.
Admin
2019-08-11 21:19(Som svar till detta)
I understand your point, but I'm afraid, that can't be done.
Blocking always blocks in both ways. Otherwise, the system could be abused for stalking, and not preventing it.
If you decide to block someone, you will no longer be able to follow his activity. Same for him.
LA Stocky Wrestler (18)
2019-08-12 02:07(Som svar till detta)
I understand that blocking blocks both ways. I just think you should not exclude anybody from Past Opponents. The people on a person's Past Opponent's List helps us decipher if we want a match with someone or not, especially if they've wrestled someone we've had an issue with, we can then decide not to challenge this person. I think the less the info, the worse in this case for trying to find a proper match.
Thanks again.
Julian Chang (131 )
2019-08-13 03:49(Som svar till detta)
I'm confused by the point though. Even on these comments I can see people who I have blocked. I cannot click through for additional information, but I can see that they contributed. I don't think it makes sense to remove the person from past opponents unless we are going with the fully nuclear option of wiping every trace of the person off the site for myself if I block them.

2019-08-12 07:58This site really had to be given the vibrant look it has now to keep up with other onternet sites.
you are and have made a big difference to what was a tired looking site. a good site none the less, but now it catches your eye when entering and that has to be a good thing. also the time it has taken you all to update your privacy rules must of taking many hours trying to work out how to keep it's users and everyone's information even more secure.
it is very much appreciated the time and many hours of effort you all put into this site.
once again thank you......
