Yes! We offer a free membership.
And we don't restrict you to a couple of messages a day either. 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 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.

For a site such as Caffmos to be a success it requires members! So by registering you are already offering your support. If you like what you see, pass the Caffmos name to your friends and acquaintances. The more members we have the more members you can enjoy. 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.

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.

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.

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. :)

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.

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.

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.

There are various areas you can upload photos to. 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. All photo uploads can be found through your "My Settings" drop down section. Make sure you are logged in, then highlight the My Photos/Video box to show the different locations available to add photos. 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.

Pass your curser over My Settings in the top menu bar to view all your account settings, highlight the My Profile and choose the area you wish to change or update. From here you 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 (no spaces or symbols).

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 expore you receive.

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.

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.

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.

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.

No problem -- contact us anytime. Our support email address is : caffmoscommunity@yahoo.com.

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
