Today's featured members - why only TS/TV?

I have a complaint about "Today's featured member profiles" section on a homepage.
Today I see the following today's featured member profiles:
https://www.imagefap.com/pictures/71901 ... -legshow-4 - low quality galleries
https://www.imagefap.com/profile/kamiboy - recently posted over a year ago
https://www.imagefap.com/profile/dirtyk ... olderid=-1 - galleries with 1-4 images, nothing special of quality
https://www.imagefap.com/organizer/278118/Crossdressing - galleries showing NOTHING attractive and introducing nothing new (ok, it may be just my preference)
https://www.imagefap.com/profile/Maggie72 - 11-month account (pretty new), little content of 7 galleries
https://www.imagefap.com/profile/Sticky%20Fleabane - last gallery posted in 2015
https://www.imagefap.com/profile/kotaro111 - 1 (one!) gallery of rather poor quality (size: medium)
https://www.imagefap.com/profile/waltzer - last gallery posted in 2015, rather controversial taste
https://www.imagefap.com/profile/cindy_cross39 - 3 (three!) galleries, 4-5 pictures each

Each time I visit IF, those profiles look similar.

All those profiles have nothing to do with my account settings ("Interests" tab).
All those profiles are not interesting for me. Some of them are disgusting.
Most of them input nothing into imagefap content.
I cannot make them stop showing on my homepage by ignoring them.
Most of them have good profile description. But this is IMAGEFAP, not Tinder. IMAGE + FAP.
And... ALL those profiles have one thing in common - they are mostly "certified TS/TV" and rarely "certified female". Seriously, why should I care if it's a TS or a female? Why should I care if it's certified or not? If she posted her shitty 1 gallery a year ago, why is it recommended to me? I'm tolerant and I don't care, as long as his/her galleries make my cock hard.

Can the "featured member profiles" list be based on my interests, or user's activity or galleries quality, or whatever different than "certified TS"? Maybe I would like to see some people with similar interests, but I haven't seen them yet?

I really like Imagefap, it's simple, it works. Low activity on "site stuff" forums means there are no problems. I even have disabled my adblock. But the "featured members" is the thing that disturbs me at most and - I think - could be easily fixed.

PS. I don't hate those people. I hate that they are showed as my "featured members".

A superbly written post right on target...
I am in total agreement with the criticism of the Featured Members section as presented on the Desktop landing page when visiting ImageFap...I would believe that in the larger picture it represents a very small
segment of the Members population and as the forum poster has pointed out, those selected to appear have a record of much less contribution then so many other Menber (that should be featured, in my opinion) not among the TS/TV community.

i guess it was ignored since it was years ago but the same thing still persists. every time i log in ( and for years now) the featured members are 90% shemales, trans,sissies etc.

Starting this past Friday, the 28th, you should only be seeing two types of genders.

Female
Couples

The profiles that are featured are on a rotating basis which is purely at random. I will give you a few ways to increase your chances of being featured. But not all way I will list. Some people might 'get cute' and try to sneak their way to be featured more often.

Getting yourself on the featured list includes but not limited to:

You must have been logged in within the last 7 days.

You must have an avatar.

Your gender must have been verified by us.

In the future we might be able to manually feature some of our users. While it seems like an easy thing for our admins to do, we aren't going to add that in just yet.

Thank you. The featured members page is much more interesting now.

Thanks for fixing this. Females and couples are more representative than what we were confronted by before.

I noticed the difference and came to the forums to check.
