Wink Auto Responders

24 Apr 2006

Quote by st3v3
If you do not wish to have winks filling up your pm inbox there is now an option for you to have an autoresponder which will send back a pre-defined message whenever you get winked. At the moment there are two messages to choose from, we can add more so if you post reply suggestions in here we will add the most useful ones, provided that they meet with the AUP and are not likely to cause offence.
The winks autoresponder can be set up in My Settings.

I don't want to use those autoreplies as they don't reflect my chosen response. Back to the delete button I guess for now

the problem i am NOW getting is....
after they get the auto reply, they think that you have taken the time to send it, and so must be interested in their profile!!
just got another one telling me that he is "glad i have made an exception from only wanting couples!" :shock:
and what else can i tell him about myself!

:rotflmao:

:banghead:
I've only had one of those - i'm still too flabbergasted to reply!! evil

To repeat what I said on page one -
How about something to acyually discourage, rather than encourage further responses.
Whether the spammers bother reading or taking notice or not, at least the recipients would have the choice WITHOUT having to pay to try to stop something they haven't asked for.

Yes, I couldn't find the "fuck-off you lazy bastard!" option either confused

Well, we could view it as sign of 4T's "customer services" rotflmao

Right - following my initial euphoria for the auto response - I do have to say that this has now resulted in more emails rolleyes

most just the odd line as they seem to now feel 'encouraged' as dammie says.
The sad thing is because so many trolling emails come through, you actually miss the nice ones amongst the dross!
I really do wish people would take the time to read my profile too - took me long enough to write the flippin' thing!

We said before, the auto responders were to stop you actually recieving winks in favour of messages that were more in tuned with what you wanted. The intention of this thread was to get some members to write some more standard oness that we could include for everyone to use.
They do need to be agreed in advance because imagine if we had a spammer or something who put up a great "single young lady" ad that everytime they got a wink sent back that said "please call me on 0906 etc etc".
So providing the resonses are not nasty and are sensible we will consider them for inclusion. If anyone wants no contacts at all then you need to have the blockers on rather than the auto responders. rolleyes

That sounds all very fair to me, Martin - I'll have a think for a polite and diplomatic response.

24 Apr 2006

I still reckon a polite 'Thanks for the interest but you're not what I'm looking for' or 'Thanks but I don't think we're suited' covers a multitude of responses

24 Apr 2006

For me it would be
Thank you very must for your interest, could I ask you to take the time to read my profile.

24 Apr 2006

Thanks, please PM them to me so we can then have a look over them here. The problems are thinking about this sensibly you cant have.
"You are not what I am looking for " as how do you know without getting a personal PM?
We cant have "I" either as they might be used on couples accounts
So that is why we only wrote two, so I look forward to recieving your ideas.
thanks
Martin

You could have something like
Thanks for your wink, please take the time to have a good look at my profile to ensure that you are not wasting our time. If you think that you meet the bill on all accounts then drop me a more personal message .....
ETC ETC
It is quite hard, and im not talking about my own bits either! smile

Really like your profile, why don't you drop by and have a look at mine, and let me know what you think.
CTRL C

CTRL V
and hey presto.... you can pretend to be a fully paid up extra member and send shallow unimaginative contacts like the rich guys .....

Martin_M, what part of "discourage" do you not understand ?
Probably MOST of the spammers, for that's the charter you've actually created with the wink system - imo, won't/don't bother to read profiles and don't care "about wasting our time"
It's a neanderthal, hormonal (usually testosterone) fuelled thing
"See tits/ass/nice legs/anything remotely resembling female - must wink"
The "spam one line wanna shag PM" has always been an irritant, you've just made it even easier and more lazy

By "blockers" do you mean the "block contact from specific groups" ????????
A pain in the arse on a few levels.
Or - how would you like to see me and a few others eat our words and actually offer the ability to B-- LOCK ALL WINKS

Or maybe just expressing an opinion on what seems to be a fundamentally flawed idea, that only seems to serve people who are unable to read or write more than 1 line.
What advantage does a wink serve other than to make it easier for lazy people to contact you? It's an automated pm ie it's spam.
