Yup, if you message someone that has IE you will be blocked by those that block those that have messaged those looking for IE. Don't message someone that has looking for IE and you won't be blocked when sending emails to others.
You can do both its different setting in your email filters.
One blocks those who's status is set to searching for IE's on here.
The second one blocks people that have been searching for sex with people who's profiles were set to IE.
So YOUR profile can be set to "dating" but if you have been contacting people looking for intimate encounters that second one blocks YOU also.
Thank you that makes it abundantly clear.
I wonder what the limitations/threshhold to that are. I have recieved one message from a woman set to IE and I responded back once. I had also sent one message to a separate woman who was set for IE. As far as I can tell I can still make first contact with those who enable "Block users from making first contact that have messaged others for sex or intimate encounters"
There are two Intimate Encounter contact restriction settings. Both can be turned on in your Mail Settings
Block users from making first contact that have messaged others for sex or intimate encounters. Set by the system based on your contact patterns AND enabled by the User
Your profile will be flagged, if you REPEATEDLY send FIRST CONTACT emails to members who are SEEKING AN INTIMATE ENCOUNTER in their profile. The key is "repeatedly", not once or twice, but a definite pattern of contacting members first, who are looking for an Intimate Encounter.

If someone checks the box beside the following, at the Top of their Mail Settings, that says:
Block users from making first contact that have messaged others for sex or intimate encounters.
... and you have sent repeated first contact emails to users who are seeking an IE, you will then be blocked from sending them emails.
If you claim that you don't think or don't know of any users that you have contacted first that are seeking an IE, Click HERE, to refresh your memory. Be aware, that members may not register on your contact history if they have left the site or are hidden, so it's not proof positive if they don't exist ( in the link provided) or that you haven't contacted an IE seeker in the past. Members come and go on a daily basis.
Will you get flagged if someone who is seeking an Intimate Encounter, CONTACTS YOU FIRST, and you reply? - NO
Can you get this flag reset? - NO
Will you be notified that the email has not been sent? - NO
Must Not Be Seeking an Intimate Encounter Based Upon what you State in your profile AND enabled by the User
Simply disallows a user, who in their profile is seeking an Intimate Encounter, from contacting another user who has chosen to not accept emails from people looking for such an encounter via the Relationship restriction settings at the bottom of their Mail Settings
I contact a lot of people.....I don't check what they are interested in first. I just read their profile. So apparently I'm now on that list. These things should be made more evadent while your emailing.
I checked my profile and I was listed as looking for an intimate encounter. I changed it but this stuff should be more out in the open.
If you claim that you don't think or don't know of any users that you have contacted first that are seeking an IE, Click HERE, to refresh your memory.
Claim? that makes it sound like it's my word against the computer. Is someone on trial here?
BTW I clicked here and it just showed a list of people I contacted...how do I know which ones are open for IE? and how do they know? Maybe they didn't know that their box was checked either.
I have a question pertaining to this unclear rule. I get that if someone has IE on their profile and you contact them, you could minimize your chances to talk to other members who are not seeking IE and if you have IE on your profile, you are limited to who you can contact, but what I would like to know: Is there a way to 'flag' a person who has long term, or dating or other status on their profile other then IE that contacts people for IE?
Frankly, I like this setting. I have encountered issues in the past with people who weren't exactly honest (cough) about their intentions and this removes that matter if/when it is an overt behavior of interaction at the site. (Even as I readily understand it doesn't keep people from being deceitful in other ways that cannot be tracked.)
That said, I do think the site should allow for blocking on any status, simply to afford those who know they're not looking for 'long term' or 'dating' or whatever to choose accordingly. Indeed, by combining different choices, the amount of tailoring (again, understood to have generally no help or affect against the actively deceitful) would be quite nice.
I have no issue with someone filtering me out or not allowing me to contact them if THEY aren't looking for 'long term' or 'dating' or whatever. After all, isn't it supposed to be about finding what you're really looking for in life?
if you are pure of mind and soul, and are actually only mailing ladies seeking long-term or dating...well, you won't have any problem.
but, since you apparently do have a problem, one must assume that your stated intent (long-term) does not accord with your actual actions on this site. meaning - you profess one thing, yet are writing to numerous intimate encounter/other relationship profiles. hence, you can't message anyone who has selected the ie filter. can you blame them? move on, and mail those without the filter.
i am looking for long term so i souldnt have any problems just anoyes me that if wana message someone thats looking for same thing and has that block thing up lol
i am looking for long term so i souldnt have any problems just anoyes me that if wana message someone thats looking for same thing and has that block thing up lol
That block thing is up against you because you have messaged women that are looking for intimate encounter... it's a nifty little tool to be able to weed out the guys that toss long term on their profile but actually message others that are looking for the 'quick hook up'...
how do i message someone who has this Must Not Be Seeking an Intimate Encounter
If your are blcoked then you have tripped the IE filter by contacting to many women seeking Intimate Encounters. Thee is no way for you to ever contact those blocking you.
