I tried to list this at AFD already using Twinkle but received a notice that a link I had put in the description was in the blacklist and the page would not save. I had provided links to two discussions on Google Plus (copied from a Google search) where people were complaining that they were getting spam from IQ Eliter that asked for their email passwords and that sent more spam to everyone in their address books. I do not need to link to those, as they are readily available by doing your own Google search.

Site appears to be blatant advertising of deceptive scam site. There are no reliable sources (hell, almost no sources at all) mentioning the site in any way. The so-called references previously provided in article only discussed online dating in general and not this site. Claims of having millions of members are highly dubious based upon the amateurish nature of the site and lack of anyone talking about it except as a spammer/malware distributor. Also claims it was started by Mensa members, but no Mensa sources mention its existence. DreamGuy (talk) 00:54, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
