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 a very effective way to meet people.

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 and it is free, so you have nothing to lose.

Is membership to Caffmos free?
Yes! We offer a free membership. We want you to find new contact and friends, so other than to prevent bulk mailing scams, there are no profile viewing or messaging restrictions. Caffmos was not created for financial gain. It was created and run simply to offer a platform for like-minded gay 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.

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 Chat room.

  • 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.


My Profile

On your profile page you can edit your details, set your site preferences and upload and delete photos.

How do I change my location - my password - my email?
Go to the My Profile page option under the My Account menu option to view all your account settings. From here you can edit your profile, preferences, password and email address. Usernames are only changable by Caffmos Admin. Please email your current username and the new username you wish it to be changed to. Username must be 6 to 12 digits in length.

How do I change my country ?
We do not allow members to change their country. Please contact Caffmos Admin to change it for you.

How do I upload/ or edit photos and video ?
All your photos and videos can be uploaded and deleted from the My Caffmos page The number one and most beneficial is a 'profile photo'. Profiles offering a profile photo generate upto 6 times more viewings than one without a photo. You can also upload photos to a Picture Album and a selection of Themed Galleries. Adding photos exposes your presence, the more photos you upload the more you get seen. You can also password protect photos to your Picture Album, which offers complete discretion and privacy.

What does incognito and x-rated mean ?
All profile photos on The Caffmos Community are categorised as facial, incognito and x-rated by admin. Only facial photos are shown by default on profiles and search listings. Gold members may click on incognito and x-rated photos to view them.

What video formats can I upload ?
Most video formats are allowed. It can take up to 24 hours to process your video and for this to appear on your profile.

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.

Help, I have lost my password !
If you have lost your password dont worry. Simply go to the Forgotten password reminder screen, enter your email address and your password will be emailed to your registered email address. If you are still having problems then contact admin

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. The more photos uploaded the more messages you receive.

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. 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. Also make sure you take the time and effort to message others, one cannot expect to receive messages if you do not send any.

I am not receiving any email message alerts. What's up?
First make sure that the options set out on your Check site preferences 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 Caffmos by adding the address info@caffmoscommunity.com to your address book.

Alternatively create another email account with a free provider such as Yahoo or Gmail ). This actually offers an extra degree of discretion and privacy if required.

No problem -- contact us anytime here. 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 our ability.
