"I have real life to contend with too. Just because it says I'm online it doesn't mean I am either." Plus if you get a lot of messages they get pushed down the page and don't show anymore until you've sorted through them and deleted... | |||

"Why do many members struggle with the message system? Imagine you're in a pub chatting to someone, do you suddenly stop talking to them? Do you chat to someone then suddenly stop but you still log in but don't read the last message, it goes unread? We would never assume that they must feel they're above others or that they may have mentally challenging issues, we just assume the message system is too complicated for them to use. How could a basic message system be made easier to use?" It's called being ghosted | |||

"Messages aren't like a conversation in a pub or a phone call, they are more like emails. I reply when it's convenient, same as I expect from others. There may be a few times when not receiving an immediate reply is annoying, but those are a minority. " Communication is communication. Letter, e-mail, talk, drawn in sand; communication is communication. There are plenty of books on the subject. Doesn't matter by what means you use, if you abruptly stop communicating, you've simply stopped conversing. If you don't give a reason, what will the other party think of the other party? Not tricky is it. | |||

We know they don't so a polite let down is a mature direction to take, is it not? Has anyone quoted the FAQs yet? " Yes, the FAQ's requires updating to include such words as communication, decency, maturity etc.. If someone gets abusive, just advise them so and then block them. If you're bored, just say if it's something you become interested in, you'll catch up with them. If arranging a date is currently difficult, then just say so and if you get time, you'll catch up with them. Or simply go down silence path that the FAQ's recommend !! Classic. | |||

"When someone has cuckoo moment, we just simply delete all received and sent texts and move on. When it comes to basic social skills, it's really not tricky just to say you'll catch with them if you decide to etc.. Anyone struggling with such basics are welcome to send the message they've received and wish to decline but find it too tricky to give a basic reply." So you just delete and move on and thats fine but when others do it it must be because they're too dim or rude? Could be they just think you're cuckoo | |||

Maybe, just maybe, this is a casual sex site and people use it how they like, in their own time, and don't need to fit in your perceived rules of etiquette. | |||

Not tricky is it." Saying communication is communication is rather simplistic. I treat different forms of communication differently. Very few things are that black and white. However, if someone just stopped communicating with me altogether? No, it isn't tricky at all - it means they aren't interested. Simple, indeed. Personally, I send a message to tell people when I'm not interested, but I'm not confused/annoyed/angry when others don't. | |||

Perhaps if less time was spent on line trying to engage with strangers, and more time interacting with family, friends, meeting people out and about, there'd be less ire and angst!

Perhaps the problem isn't with the users who choose to message when it's convenient to them, rather it is with the ones who have a sense of entitlement the everyone muse message them the second they log on other wise they are labelled rude. | |||

"I'll often just stop communicating if the sender becomes aggressive or patronising. I don't feel guilty about that. " "I'll often just stop communicating if the sender becomes aggressive or patronising. I don't feel guilty about that. " I think you've hit the nail on the head here! Op, we all get frustrated sometimes when people don't follow the etiquette of communication on here, as in the real world. Assuming that someone is loopy or unintelligent, because they appear not to be able to handle technology is a fallacy. | |||
