"They could have checked your profile in stealth mode? There is a way to look without being seen. Perhaps you are not what they are looking for and they may get a ton of mail it does wear you down a bit sometimes. Would not waste any more time worrying about though its mostly not personal. " Oh,yeah.Quite understand that it's nothing personal. | |||

"I've found recently that after sending a polite introductory message that my message has been deleted and sometimes that I've been blocked from rechecking the recipients profile without them even looking at my profile. Would anyone like to comment on this? I realise that couples/single ladies must get inundated with enquiries,but just to block someone for their interest,I don't understand????? " Your not the only person it happens to mate I get it regular I wouldn't worry about it this swinging lark is very much a woman's world and us poor fellas are just a pawn in there world and they have the pick but what does not help is they have to go through all the time wasters to get to the genuine guys you will get meets even if they are few an far between patients is a virtue Good luck mate | |||

"I've found recently that after sending a polite introductory message that my message has been deleted and sometimes that I've been blocked from rechecking the recipients profile without them even looking at my profile." I block all the time ... it ensures that I don't resend a message to someone who's not interested, and could therefore get ratty if I send a second message. | |||

"I understand not responding to messages if not interested - it means, 'no thanks'. And I don't see why it's more polite to give a reasoned explanation. (Though if the message is particularly well thought out and relevant to our profile, more might be appropriate.) But I've always been confused by this blocking business. If it's because of repeated emailing, then I understand. As a reminder not to email again, that makes sense too. But it seems to be used as a weapon, which is odd. As if it's saying, "so there! you can't even see me now! all because you emailed!" It's strange behaviour. We've been blocked once. Admittedly I had sent a slightly sarcastic and insulting email. (Only slightly, and it was kind of deserved.) It was in the heat of the moment and I would have apologised, but then I found I could no longer even view her profile. Communication's a great thing, therefore blocking seems silly. " If blocking is used as a weapon, then I would agree - that's not on and just does everyone a disservice. On our couples profile, and on Ruby's personal one, blocking is used more to save both parties time in the future as it takes us out of their browse searches, and vice-versa. I know it shows up on someones profile that you have previously mailed them, but we have had an instance where the system must have had a bad hair day, and it didn't show up. We mailed the couple months after the first one and they were 'less than pleased' shall we say, that we had mailed them (mistakenly) again. Hence the block facility gets used. The trouble is the wind-up artists and fakes use it with bad intent and that reflects on everyone else... | |||

"We respond to polite messages even if we're not interested. If the writer doesn't take no for an answer, we block. If the messager clearly hasn't read our profile, we block. " I would say this would be a perfectly polite way of doing things whilst not allowing multiple begging messages which I'm sure must be intensely irritating | |||

"If you're 100% sure that you have no interest in a profile and from what you have seen/read feel it unlikely that even chat would be likely - then why not block? It's a site tool. It prevents you accidentally contacting someone that's stated you're not for them, prevents those that really aren't from you sending a message that you'd only ignore - and leaves you/them free to browse and contact those that are compatible. People have the right to use the sites tools as they wish without ever having to justify things. Accept that and life will become far easier!" | |||

"I see your (multiple) point. We've never had that problem, but I can see how it can be a useful tool. However, I still get the impression many people see it as a weapon of sorts. And being the inquisitive type, I like to be able to view people's profile even if I'm not interested in the slightest. A nicer and more precise tool would be one that allows one to make comments next to people's profiles - which is how some people use their hotlist. " There's a 'make notes' section to do just that if you're a site supporter! | |||

"Many of ther foregoing arguments for blocking make some sense - particularly the one it stops u making the error of contacting someone again who has already declined u I've only once blocked anyone n that was after an e mail I received. i hadn't ever looked at their profile (altho obviously I did after I'd been messaged) . It was from a chap opposite end of the country from me. All it said was 'you sick fuck ' - I dunno to what it referred. That I am bisexual? That coupla pix show mild restraint? Or he thort at my age I should b perusing brochures for old people's homes? Whatever - it achieved it's purpose n somewhat 'upset' me that I almost deleted my account altogether " Hope you dont let idiots like that upset you now.... | |||

Well it has rather tainted the whole fabswingers experience for me at the moment and I'm reluctant to message anyone in case I get a response of that ilk. Hey ho life eh? | |||

"Why do people feel the need to question how members use the site tools, and why do members feel the need to justify their choices to strangers?!! " Because people like chatting and questioning and discussing things, perhaps? Of course one can do what one likes, but it's often interesting and sometimes useful to discuss things with others. And because one might be trying to work, but find this site addictive therefore sign in and think of pointless comments to make. | |||

" Some block to avoid being messaged again. Since using the notes facility I have kept a track of those I have either not responded to or turned down. And I have found that, often, I will get repeated messages from those same people unless I block them. It also saves you being bothered as if they block you they cannot message and then decide all over again that you are not what they are looking for. Some people like to use the notes facility to keep track - others prefer to block. | |||

And I have had replies before from some people after a second message which are quite nasty so I don't bother anymore. Also a lot of people state on their profile if they delete the message then you are not what they are wanting. It just saves me time when looking through profiles. I'm to laid back to bother about it that's why I do it. | |||
