- This is NOT the Profile Review Forum

WHAT MAKES A VALID THREAD
A Valid Thread consists of you posting a topic or question that "you" have an opinion on, or state a position by which the subject of your thread can be discussed or debated. Surveys, Polls, Lists (eg. Favourite this or that) ARE NOT VALID as there is no potential for a back and forth dialogue to discuss your opinion or statement. Warning threads about other posters will see your posting rights removed immediately - no questions asked.
Special Note
Since this forum has a 20 post reply limit, make your posts contributory. Any wasting of replies with a non contributory value will be removed as you are only contributing to the threads early close - repeat offenders will be sanctioned. If you don't agree with this limit, the following forums are without posting limits and can accommodate your discussions just as easily and with perhaps more depth.
Profile Reviews
Dating and Love Advice
Relationship Issues
Dating and Love Advice
Sex and Sexuality Issues
Dating Experiences
any of the other POF Forums

EXAMPLES OF WHAT THREADS ARE NOT VALID
- No profile reviews in this forum - Go to this forum Profile Reviews Forum
Any form of "pity me" or "attention seeking" or "complaint" threads such as:
- "Nice Guys Finish Last", or "Bad Boys get it all" etc.
- Why members don't reply, or read your emails etc..
- Would You Date A (insert your profession here) ...
- Any thread dealing with "why can't I get a date", "what's wrong with me, am I too ugly, too thin, overweight" etc.
- Threads that are designed to look at your profile for whatever reason.
- why can't BBW's find love etc.
- Short guys don't stand a chance
- Does size matter?
- "Why is it so hard to find a man/woman", "What do men/women really want!"
Rather than expend futile energy in having the same 20 replies thrown at you, it more than likely has to do with your profile - go get it reviewed in the proper forum >> Profile Reviews Forum and read the Profile Writing Tips in that forum first.
Any of the following examples have either been done to death in other forums or have no discussion value:
- Any rant type threads with inane generalizations that only serve to troll for negative comments.
- Why members do this or that in their profiles such as no shirts, excessive cleavage, car pics, pet pics, profile email restrictions, no pics., favourites list etc.
- List / Survey questions
- Advertising to the opposite sex looking for a date
- Older Man/Younger Woman and vice versa
- No Chat threads, Word Games
Continuation, part 2 threads will be removed - see the Special Note in the above section
