There are a number of message filters on here to help manage the amount and unwanted messages, age, sex, sexual orientation etc but I've always wondered why there isn't a distance filter.

Lots ask for just contact from local people so why doesn't Fab development the ability to set a filter.

I'm sure there will be technical issues and people will no doubt find ways around it but would be a good addition surely.

I can see the benefit personally, but equally see reasons why it's potentially not a good idea.

People travel. Some further than others. It would also be easy for people to just adjust their postcode to get around any such filter, whereas those such as age and gender can't be altered on a whim.

There is a distance filter for searching OP.

As Obi-Wan said ^^ it wouldn’t work for all.

There’s enough filters if you use them right

Is there a distance filter search, I did not know. I shall look more closely.

It was more to stop unwanted messages

Yes. In the advanced search option. Age filters are a great way to narrow the amount of mail you receive OP
