Yes muppet filter gets our vote.
Exccept for Mr Snuffolopocus, though technically he is was from Sesame Street so not sure if that counts.
It has to be said having read all the deluge of comments recently posted, some very good points have been raised.
If there was a couples 4 couples room (regardless of if the word 'only' was used in it or not) and it was only accessed by people with couples profiles. Then it would not to be wrong to make the logical assumption that those people using that room at that particular moment in time, were looking for couples, and looking to talk to couples, as opposed to coming into the room for a gold old gossip and a chinwag. Again if that was a room aimed at couples who wanted to meet other couples then one would have to wonder why singles would want to go in there?
We are not suggesting it as the way fowards, but it seems to use that argument has some validity. If on the other hand people feel it would die a death for this reason because people would never use it because either the majority disagreed with its existence, or there wasn't a need for it, well it would be quickly proven to be correct, as it would remain either empty or largely unused.
I think there is also a valid argument to a degree about equal membership access and being able to state preferences on your profile anyway, which gives people a clear idea of what you want. Funny thing is, that simply doesnt work. Many profiles including ours tell people not to send us a standard response, but we will still get several of those a week anyway (even from couples, I must fairly point out)
I am not sure what the best solution is here, but I do know alot of people don't use chat at all because of the problems they have had with it, similar in nature to ours. And the fact of the matter is, they don't want to complain about it and get involved in all that, they don't even want to post about it in here. They simply just left chat and do it all by mail instead. That doesn't seem right either.
I guess the moral of the tale is an all too familar one, you can please some people, some of the time, but never all of the people, all of the time.
