I have my mail settings so that users without a photo cannot mail me. It doesnt seem to be working though, since a couple of users without pics have messaged me.
I've cleaned my computer, as well as reset my mail settings a couple of times and it still doesnt work!
Is there a glitch or something I can do?
Thanks!

Users with hidden images could email. The system has now been changed so that only users with images on their profile can email.

That feature wasn't finished till today.

That should stave off a ton of Abuse from Fake Profiles.

Thank you for sorting that out... I did wonder how a couple got through too!

Users with hidden images could email. The system has now been changed so that only users with images on their profile can email.

...so I'm guessing that they have to have a photo visible on their profile and not just send one from the hidden section to get through?

I'm not sure that this feature is still working, I have received a number of 'first contact' e-mails from people who have no image on their profiles, even though my settings ask that this not be allowed. Is there something I'm missing?

If this is the case, as admin points out ...


Users with hidden images could email. The system has now been changed so that only users with images on their profile can email.


then there's nothing preventing someone from exposing themselves (per se) momentarily, shoot off an email, then go back into seclusion - that may be the answer.

Mail Settings: Messages from People without a Picture

Ok...I'm so confused...like this is something new .. anyways.


Users with hidden images could email. The system has now been changed so that only users with images on their profile can email.

That feature wasn't finished till today.

And in posts after this it eludes (unless I misunderstood, do not think I did although, I might have though) that you have to have a picture showing on your profile to email people?

I went to Ticket's posts link here for more information:

Mail Settings: Messages from People without a Picture

it had no answer to my confusion. I took mine off my profile (showing) because mine are not a full facial-only a partial facial-and I can still send emails. So am I missing something? Or is it because I was a member long before this went into affect and had pics of me out there before and they are just now hidden on my profile?

I don't want all of mine to get axed, tis why I took them off from showing, or loose my email privaledges (I have quite a few friends here and am making more). I'm quite upfront with people if they are that anal about pictures from the start then they need to email someone else, it is my choice not theirs...so just curious (yes I know, curiousity killed the cat )

you have to have a picture showing on your profile to email people?

That is correct and was the Design and Intention of that Filter.

If in your Mail Settings you selected:


    Allow emails(first contact) from users
    without images on their profile:

... then People without Profile Pictures should not be able to 'E-mail' you, unless of Course Someone sought to circumvent your Filter as indicated by the Link I posted in my previous Post above.

Likewise, if other Users have also selected a Profile Picture Requirement, and you do not have a Pic on your Profile, you are restricted from E-Mailing them.



I took mine off my profile (showing) because mine are not a full facial-only a partial facial-and I can still send emails.

That is an entirely seperate Issue, and has nothing to do with E-Mails at all.

The Admin issued Picture Standards for upload to your Profile, as indicated in the (4) four Links below:

Unacceptable Profile Pics
Reporting And deleting Main images
Reporting Image As Not Human
Headshots - Recognition & Reporting

The latest Image Upload Requirement is in this Link:

Profiles: Recognizable Headshot Criteria

It has not yet been enforced via the Upload Page, but Moderators will revoke Image upload Priviledges if your main Pic renders you not recognizable.

^^ Ok..I missed that somewhere. I don't email people that require a pic and do not have that as a requirement on mine.

Thanks Ticket :)

Edit: The first post...oh Duh Rocky! *bangs head on wall*

Thank you, trappedonbaystreet.... that makes sense. It's not a huge problem, because I know I can delete and block them, I was just curious.

Those that I have had out there have been there for at least 8-9 months, the last one I uploaded was a full shot of me so no issues there. Even the partial of my face makes me recognizable in person...have not had anybody miss me yet with just seeing that part of my face

Thanks again Ticket...guess I missed this part of the post before.
