You can generate an email template to make contact with the TwinStranger, just click on the small enveloppe to generate this email. It will be open in your email client to give you the option to modify it before sending it. Here Janine has found her TwinStranger Paula. We then send an email to Paula with the pictures of Janine.

A confirmation dialog will then appear to confirm the change.

Note

If you delete an account, the user’s informations will be destroyed from the database. That means their is no way to retrieve it. You should rather use the locking option when a user violate the terms so that they cannot recreate an account.

3.3.1. Filters

You can use filters. Sort by name (asc/desc), last sign-in/sign-up. Filter by country, locked only, admin only, confirmed account only. You can of course find a user by username, email or name in the search bar.
