What does the 'Real Members' seal mean?
The "Real Members" seal is to signalize that we do not tolerate fake accounts on JOYclub and strive, along with our members, to be fake-free.
What are the advantages of the authenticity check?
By participating in the authenticity check, you confirm that a real person of the specified gender is behind your profile.
The procedure creates mutual trust in JOYclub, because other members recognize by the white check mark in your profile that they are dealing with a real member, and are thus also more willing to make contact.
A lot of members in JOYclub are only searching for verified profiles.
The authenticity check is free and will only take you a few minutes to complete.
Recommendation: Before you give out personal data such as your phone number or enter into a real contact, please make sure that the member is authenticated.
Possibilities of the authenticity check by video verification
Here you can perform the authenticity check and the FSK18 check: Start verification.
(Note: To see FSK18 content you need a premium membership)
The video verification can also be done without a webcam if you have a smartphone with a camera.
To do so, please open this page in the browser of your smartphone after you have logged in.
Then you can record a new video with the camera or upload an existing video.
What happens with my data?
Data protection is always ensured in JOYclub. Only the verifying moderator gets to see the proof of authenticity. As soon as the photo has been checked, it will be stored in a digital archive for a short time, to which only the operator of this site has access, before it is finally deleted.
What do the colored check marks mean?
White check mark
The profile has successfully passed the authenticity check.
Green tick
In addition to the authenticity check, the profile has been marked as personally known by at least 5 other members who have also been checked.
Red tick
This is a VIP member. They have already proven their authenticity through special commitment to JOYclub.
How can I mark someone as 'personally known'?
When you add a new contact, you can set them as known to you personally by selecting the corresponding entry in the menu.
Existing contacts can be accessed via the "My contacts" link and edited there by clicking on the small pencil icon behind their name. Now you can set the entry "Known personally" in the edit window. Please do not forget to save the setting. A quicker way to set the marker is to click on the grayed out check mark icon in the icon bar on the right side of the contact entry.
If you have received 5 of these markings from verified members and are verified yourself, your profile will receive the green checkmark.
How do I know who has marked me as 'personally known'?
If someone marks you 'personally known' and this member has passed the authenticity check, you will be informed. If the authenticity check is missing, you will not be informed. If the member later takes the authenticity check, the marking will be activated automatically and credited to your profile.
For members in your contact list you can directly see if they have marked you as 'personally known' if you have also marked them. In the contact edit screen you will see the note 'also personally known' instead of 'personally known'.
