"not allowed to message this user"
Posted: 4/20/2008 11:17:16 AM
that's the message i get. the only restrictions the person i want to message has are no looking for int. encounter and must not have messaged people looking for sex...what does that mean? my profile says hang out...does that mean i'm not allowed to have messaged someone else who put int. encounter on their profile? that's the only reason i can think of. nuts.

thanks in advance.

No thats not what it means.
You can contact whoever you want.
What it does mean though that people can choose not to speak to you based on the type of profiles you contact - ie: initimate encounter profiles.

It is somewhat back-ass wards. If I email someone who happens to be looking for an IE about a forum post or interests we share or just to say hello, even though my setting is set to Other Relationship, it equates to me being the same as those actually seeking IE's...

People have the right to filter their messages and messagers but don't I have the right not to be lumped in with those seeking IE's?

Nothing to do with 'Other Relationship'

This "lumping in" is of your own doing. In order for the IE Filter to function and allow Users to restrict those who have sought Sex or those looking for Intimate Encounters, a System has to exist to tag such Individuals. And if you have done so on a few Occasions, then you become restricted from contacting those who have enabled the IE Filter. Its the Way the System works, your Argument leads to nothing other than "Let me contact anyone for Sex or Intimate Encounters as I please" if you really think it through.

We had already been there a long Time ago when Ladies left this Site in Hordes being bombarded for Sex & IE Requests, even when their Profile plainly stated they were not looking for that sort of Thing. In Order to curb these Abuses, this IE Filter was implemented. Thus if you message Users for Sex or those looking for Intimate Encounters, those who have set these contact Restrictions, you won't be able to mail. Keeps everybody happy ... well almost, except those who insist Women do not have the Right to restrict contact from IE Seekers. But then that's neither here nor there.

No, it doesn't.
It just means that you have contacted people who are seeking IEs.

Some women chose not to correspond with guys who have contacted people that are seeking IEs.

Exactly.
The women who you can't contact, have the right to block you.


I find it amussing when a person, who has message restrictions on his own profile, cries loudly about other people's message restrictions.
You chose to block men, married people, foreigners, and people with no pics from contacting you.
Other people chose to block guys that have messaged [people who were looking for intimate encounters. Accept it.

Yeah, but what if a person seeking IE's sends a message to you and you answer back... Who takes the time to look at their profile to see what it is they are seeking? So when you answer back you are pretty much burned.... Hmmm?

^^^^ No.

The IE filter does not apply to you responding to someone.
Only when YOU initiate the first email to the people.

Does this ban come off over time? I have never messages someone asking for sex, but may have messaged someone that is looking for intimate encounters and not realised...i didnt actually know about this block untill reading these forums to see why my messages aint sending. Will it lift after a certain length of time? If not, is there anything to stop me starting a new profile with a clean slate so to speak?

Not known, although some People have stated it does after a lengthy Span of Time.
