| | Mail Settings: Blocking users who are "not single/not looking" not possiblePage 1 of 1 | The mail setting that allows you to block messages from users who are married blocks users who say that they are married, "prefer not to say" or "Living together". But for some reason it doesn't block users who say they are "not single/not looking".
I would like to block these users too, but I can't with the current settings. | |

| Mail Settings: Blocking users who are not single/not looking not possible

Is there a limit to how many profiles can be blocked on POF?
I've tried to block two users today. Nothing unusual happened during the process of blocking, but I see they have not been blocked.
Have they sent you a message since blocking them?
Blocking them doesn't remove them from showing up as a match--
It just stops them from sending messages to you. | |

Posted: 10/6/2012 4:06:15 PM | Look at your block list and see if they are there. It's just a list of users who you have blocked and so if these two new additions were added successfully, they will be shown on the list.
You can view your block list from your INBOX by opening any message and hitting the END key to go to the bottom of the screen. There should be an option stating "Users I blocked" in blue text to he right of the reply text box.
If you don't have any messages in your Inbox, then the same list can be accessed by going into EDIT PROFILE, then Mail Settings. In the first section headed "ADJUST YOUR MAIL SETTINGS" there is some text on the right side of the screen, again in blue, which says " To see the list of users you've blocked, click here." Click on the 'click here' part of the sentence to see your list. | |

Posted: 10/6/2012 4:06:47 PM | I think your actual argument, is with the meaning of the terms.
"Not single/not looking" is confusing, but then some of the other choices are as well, at least to some. I suspect that what it means to POF's software people, is that the person is decidedly NOT married, but is in a committed relationship. Hence, such people will not be blocked by the same setting that will block married people. But I also understand your interpretation.
There are a large number of ongoing "label interpretation" arguments ongoing here already. None are likely to result in changes to POF, I think, unless the ownership changes hands.
Ultimately, I expect that lots of us would wish that everything on a given site, be tailored to match what we want. But my experience on this planet so far, has been that only those rich enough to design and enact their own systems, are able to achieve that. | |
