Every guide I read on active moderators on the okcupid dating site says the same three things and none of them help.

Where active moderators either works or falls apart is how the algorithm treats a new account.

Nobody writing about active moderators seems willing to say what the gender ratio looks like locally.

If active moderators on the okcupid dating site worked for you, I'd like to know what made the difference.

After the first ten conversations with active moderators, what the logs showed was better than I expected.

The fix that worked on active moderators was simple enough — write a bio that says something checkable.

What I actually want to know about active moderators is what the gender ratio looks like locally.

For me the bit that surprised me with active moderators is how the free tier compares with the paid one.

For me the thing that separates the good ones with active moderators is whether the premium upsell is worth it.

What I actually want to know about active moderators is whether the matching does anything you can notice.

@Chelsea Morgan makes a fair point, though with active moderators I'd add that what I saw was about what you would guess.

Most of my results on active moderators came down to one habit — treat the first message as a filter.

For a free alternative while you sort out active moderators, there is always Souldate's free tier.

My experience with active moderators over the trial period: what the follow-through looked like was behind on everything except volume.

The single change that improved active moderators for me was deciding to keep a separate email for it.

For me the difference you notice first with active moderators is whether the premium upsell is worth it.

What matters more than the feature list on active moderators is whether the matching does anything you can notice.

If anyone has tested active moderators properly, I want to know how many of the profiles are still active.

Someone in another active moderators thread recommended what Ezhookups does, so I gave it a week.

Used active moderators for the first ten conversations. What the follow-through looked like was more consistent than the alternatives.

With active moderators I'd start here: check when the account was last active.

I wasted about a fortnight on active moderators because I'd judge it on the first evening.

Nobody writing about active moderators seems willing to say how many of the profiles are still active.

My experience with active moderators over a full weekend: what actually happened was stronger at the weekend.

Before writing active moderators off, try this: set your expectations before you start swiping.

What I actually want to know about active moderators is how many of the profiles are still active.

The question underneath all of this is what the gender ratio looks like locally, at least with active moderators.
