If you ever emailed someone from the intimate encounters catagory and the person has that listed on their filters you will not be able to contact them even if they contacted you.

Wrong. The IE block only effects you making FIRST CONTACT. You can reply to anyone.

A member of your website, send me an E-mail.
Tried to reply back to her, but I was blocked.
Either she made a mistake E-mailing me or unware she had blocked me from sending her a reply E-mail.
what to do?

^^^ She cannot block you unless you have messaged her before. To apply the block (which only affects messages) a message needs to be in their Inbox. Was this someone you were already conversing with ? If it was a new contact message you were trying to respond to, then being blocked is not the cause of why your message could not be sent.

What exactly is the message you are getting when trying to reply ?

Previous we exchanged E-mails a long time ago.

She send me an E-mail yesterday, I tried to reply back and got a message : ' You have been blocked by this user'
I guesss, she forgot she blocked me.
Would like to reply back, unable too..

Could you send her an E-mail ( I can send you her POF username), if she wants me to reply back, she would have to remove her block.

Sure - I'll send her a message if you PM me her user name, providing I can get through any Mail Restrictions she has in place.

So I was aware not to contact a girl looking for an intimate encounter, but the problem is that is not listed on a person's profile. Even if a girl's profile says "not looking for any commitment" it doesn't mean, she is exclusively looking for an intimate encounter. The only place I have been able to confirm where their intentions are listed is when I add someone as a favorite.

I am thinking I accidentally messaged one since it appears some of my messages are not going through as I get the "red ink" message after I hit send, and those messages are not in my outgoing mail.

is there a better way to check for some girls intentions to avoid this?

How do I send you her POF username ? Do you have E-mail address or just send you her POF user name here?

thanks,
Lenny

Yes it is on their profile. You must message 4 or moire women whos profile is set to SEEKING INTIMATE ENCOUNTERS.


The only place I have been able to confirm where their intentions are listed
Gotta read those pesky profiles. Its clearly labeled "For" Look at your profile where it says DATING. (probably should be Intimate Encounters though right"


I am thinking I accidentally messaged one
It is never an accident. You have to deliberately search for IE profiles and message FOUR or more.


since it appears some of my messages are not going through as I get the "red ink" message after I hit send, and those messages are not in my outgoing mail.
THIS has nothing to do with IE's

With the IE block it does not say "sent" it says "You cant message this user"

Please refer to the FAQ's at the top of this forum section for the MANY reasons this might be happening.

All relate to either your message content or your posting history here not IE's.

Just send a message using my POF account. My settings are wide to allow forum users to contact me. The only thing that will block you is if you have been messaging IE's. Other then that, gender, age, location, will have no effect.

HELP!!!!

I'm having the same problem, and can't seem to get a response from customer service.

She was having computer problems last night, and I couldn't reply to her email last night. (error msg said she'd blocked me) Then, she emailed me again this morning and is wondering why all my emails have disappeared, thinking I've deleted my account.

Please help, we were having a great conversation and now this! LOL!

Could she have hidden her profile and prevented me contacting her? I tried creating a second account to contact her and tell her to check her settings, but I can't find her profile when I search on her username... She'd complained about other people that were contacting her, so I think she may have hidden her profile.

Thanks!

Customer service is not going to help you circumvent anyones email filters/blocks.

You should NEVER create a second account. POF may delete BOTH your accounts due to this but....

If you know her username use the second account and go to ANY profile. Go to the bottom and use the send message link NOT the quick message at the top!

Look at the top and the first field is labeled "To" with the username in it. Change it to the gals username you are trying to contact. Send message. Done

Dear Import, I thought that too, however, last week some guy from the US sent me a message and when I went to reply he had blocked me. Wierd. o.0

Thanks, though it seems they should help when the block has been done accidentally. Even replying back saying they wouldn't do it would be better than no response. Not much, but a bit better than nothing.

I thank you for your suggestions and I only created the second account out of desperation. I will delete it.

thanks to "import" for forwarding a message to my lady friend:)

Recieved an E-mail from a member of POF. Tried to reply back to her, apparently she blocked me.
We had Exchanged E-mails some time ago.

Could you E-mail her, inform her that she has blocked - me, can't reply back.
Unless she made a mistake by sending me an E-mail.

thanks,
Lenny

I was just blocked by a guy the other day, and apparently by accident. It's a good thing I got his number, and was able to inform him about it.:-)

No, this situation is different.

There is a piece of functionality here called MEET ME. In that, users are shown a photo of you and they can click on YES, NO, or MAYBE to the question of if they want to meet you. However, there are many, many flaws in this functionality.

Firstly, many users don't understand that clicking on MAYBE sends the profile owner an automatically generated message of interest which is exactly the same as the one generated by pressing YES. As there is no means to move onto the next profile, many people click on Maybe in order to skip over the profile they are currently seeing.

Another problem is this functionality does not compare the viewers stated preferences with those it is suggesting and so, if the viewer doesn't want to date a smoker, he/she will still see smokers in the MEET ME section. Likewise, if a viewer does want to date people more than a certain distance away, he/she will still be shown people outside of that geographical area.

Rather than people reviewing the profile of the the person that is being shown, they often make a decision based on photos alone so don't realize that this person doesn't meet their criteria.

So :-
1. The message didn't come from her but from the system acting on her behalf and chances are, she didn't know.
2. The system sends these messages of interest when Maybe is clicked and because many don't know this, they use that button to move on when they aren't interested.
3. The functionality is primarily based on looks alone and doesn't consider the stated preferences of the viewer which they likely don't realize either.
4. You aren't blocked in the POF sense where the profile owner has prevented you as a specific individual from not being able to make contact but more so has placed a restriction on a complete category of people who they don't wish to hear from.

This happened to me as well. I had been chatting with a woman, then one day a couple of weeks ago I tried messaging her again and it said I'd been blocked. I didn't understand it since we were getting along well but I couldn't contact her so I just left it...

Then TODAY she messaged me saying she still wanted to chat, and she'd been off POF for awhile etc... I go to reply and again...BLOCKED. How come she can message me if I'm blocked, and why can't I reply since she initiated the conversation?
