I think I'm right in saying that on this site, you can only wink someone once within a certain time period, right?

Well one of the annoyances from people, is the bombardment of messages that happens quite often when no response is received - so, how difficult would it be to code into the site, a safeguard against this, stopping people from sending more than one email (without a response) within a certain timeframe? Say, a week.

Thoughts on whether this is a good/bad idea?

It is easily done...

You reply to someone as they reply to you then you remember to say something else so you end up having two conversations in parallel.

I imagine that is how it works anyway

Sorry? I'm not following this at all - are we talking at cross purposes?

I thought if you didn't delete the winks then that mean't they couldn't wink you again?

It goes after 30 days, and you can be winked/wink again.

Although I had one guy spam me with winks after I told him no

OP I can receive more than one mail from the same person minutes apart and I wish to receive mail from them. I may be on the forum and don't reply instantly. With your idea the 2nd message would have been declined

Gotcha - would that matter though, since you're already talking to that person?

What I'm talking about is attempting to filter out the pestering.

That is about it. If you leave the email unread, you would effectively block that person until you read it.

Can you explain a bit more why you feel that way? Pestering on here is a major problem, and major reason for a lot of irritation on the site - it also affects the people that don't pester.

What if you sent another message under a different subject heading though?

It would work if the receiver had *never* replied. That would slow the bombardment but not affect multi-messages from people who chat.

How about using the block filter to stop those pesky message re-offenders? That is something that already exists. Usually, those that complain the loudest about something are those less inclined to use the tools available.

There are many times that i press the send button and then think of something else or pressed send accidently. I don't want to wait for the other person reply before i can add to my previous message. I think the idea suggested in the op would be irritating.

The block option only comes into play after 100's or emails have been sent though?

In the example you've described, that wouldn't apply - you'd still be able to reply on the same thread many times over. I'm talking about new threads to the same person being blocked.

Huh? I can block you now with no messages being sent?
