When a member receives a message, surely its only polite for them to reply to sender, even if only a "thanks, but no thanks"?
I try to reply to every message, I no non paid members cant, but if you;ve paid to be a member then, send a reply!
Am I right or wrong?
This is a common question, with as many answers as the site has members (well almost ;-) ). One of the main responses is that people get gazillions of messages and most of them are from people who haven't read their profile, or put any thought into the PM. If you were to respond to all of them you'd never get off the site!
Mind you, I reply to every PM I get (I just don't get many :-( )
Note to self: Type faster and get in before Nola! :lol2:
This is the content of a mail I was sent recently.
"we r cheshire cpls looking for some good fun." Plus 2 letters I assume are initials, hence not copied here.
Seriously - does it warrant a reply?
However, prompted by this thread, I sent "thanks, but no thanks" to 4 recent mails. I'm curious what the result will be. 2 of the mails were like the above, the other 2 had at least made an effort.
I'm not great at replying, I admit. But many weren't worth opening (with minimal content and written in txtspk), let alone replying to.
its all good, I sent a "thanks, but no thanks" to someone, he replied with with "so nice not to be ignored", however then proceeded to push meeting up, so perfectly understand that.
As you say, so many people don't read the profile, and just send a round robin message!
I don't reply to in-solicited messages. It says quite clearly in my profile that I'm not meeting and not to PM me so if they do I know they've not read it. Why should I respond to someone who can't be bothered to read my profile.
well, of course, if you;re profile says you;re not here to meet up, and wont reply, then of course people shouldn;t expect a reply!
Seems many people don't read profiles very well!
I used to reply to all messages but some people just wont take no for an answer and will get people replying back saying please give me a chance I am genuine. So now I have a comment on my profile which if it isnt mentioned in the subject title of any messages I get I just automatically delete the message, also I dont reply to anyone that doesnt match what I am looking for and it also says that on my profile.
