Is it how I use my profile? I am sick of getting abusive messages from people because I say on my profile I'm not chatting or meeting with new people at the moment. One took the biscuit today by telling me I was a head case with absolutely no provocation other than he read my profile!
I use the forums, I chat and message people on here I am already in touch with, I use the meets section to see who is going to which clubs and sometime I go Into the chat rooms if I can no longer resist seeing ten very unattractive men wanking like dervishes!
Is that not a legitimate use of this site? If not please tell what is |

Use the site in exactly the wayyou want to. Those who give abuse are usually the ones who are bitter that it's not instashag and they can't find anyone foolish enough to meet them. Do as I do, report, block and have a laugh about how pathetic they are |

"Why not block everyone from messaging you?
Because I want my friends and people I've chatted to before to be able to contact me "
I thought that if you were already in contact a message filter wouldn't apply. It works that way with age filters. |

It's no ones business but your own. People will criticise you however you chose to run your profile but even more so as you're not available there for them
I set my age range to 98 - 99 when I first came back to avoid messages and I have to say it's the best thing I did. Now that I've changed it back to a normal range, a lot of the men who viewed me back then still think they can't message me |

Your profile - Your rules (as long as they fit in with site admin)
Simples
Some people have nothing better to do than criticise others, surely it's much more fun looking at profiles in order to gauge compatibility and have fun.... |

Anyway I'm not saying I don't want people to message me if they feel they must I just want to know why they get so upset that I'm not meeting or chatting and why they feel they have to question me on it and often in a very unpleasant manner |

Just take no notice of the messages, delete them, if they are abusive report first then delete, use your filters and there's always the block button as well.

Yeah I do those things, who knows whether anything is done when a message is reported? Saying that I got a warning once because I called a bloke a twat for sending me a request for anal |

Because some people cannot conceive the reasons why you wouldn't meet them. Report, block, and forget. They're not the type of people that need encouragement anyway. |

I was making a suggestion that I thought might prevent you getting abusive messages yet still enable you to keep in touch with your friends. It was intended to help. |

Of course it is up to you how you use your profile but I tend to find that the people who are abusive on their profiles are often the people who attract abusive messages themselves.
You obviously know what happens when someone sends an abusive message as youve been on the receiving end yourself, but heres the full version....
Here is an explanation from Admin from another thread on how they deal with reports.
******Just a quick note. If people report others and we can verify that they have broken site rules, we always take action (either a first and final warning, partially suspended account, fully suspended, mixture of the above).
Every single report sent via the REPORT link is reviewed. Clearly it's not in our interests to have people on here who are bad for the site. Equally we need to verify what has been reported and be fair to those who have been reported.
Admin
PS. we never provide feedback on what has happened. It's just not practical given that we get 100s of reports a day.
Here is what the page says after a report has been submitted:
Your feedback has been saved.
A website admin will shortly review your feedback and take the necessary action. After reviewing the evidence available to us, we may disable an account, remove a user, disable certain aspects of that user's account or issue a warning.
By leaving feedback you help improve the site for everyone who uses it. Thank you.******

Another moaning thread? The thread only continues because people add their own posts. If you don't like "moaning" threads then don't read or post on them, simple |

It's entirely up to you how you use your profile, and like you say, you are still playing anyway - though even if you were just chatting then it's your choice, I'm fairly similar (without loads of abuse though).
I guess the more pictures uploaded, listing interests, and posting on forums may raise your profile, and filters will help, but if an attractive single woman on this sure can be messaged by men and isn't generally meeting new men, sadly some sad, insecure person will abuse the facility.
Report and block I'd suggest? |

I'd like to thank you on behalf of all pervs for being an exhibitionist and providing us with such lovely pics. Only abuse going on is self abuse |

That's what I did originally have but having been called a time wasting cunt and a head case just this morning I changed it. So if someone called you that you would not think they were a twat? I did once send a return message that said what a twat they were for abusing me and that's when I got a warning for sending abusive messages.
And as many have said what I have on my profile and what I use it for is my own business, I didn't invite a nitpick of my profile and again, I asked if it was reasonable to use this site if not meeting or chatting with new people |

If someone called me names and was abusive I'd think they were childish, report them, block and forget. Calling names back is pointless and gets you nowhere other than wound up. Hope you don't encounter any more abuse.

Not sure what you had as your profile when you got the abusive messages but the one you had when you first posted was perfectly fine, friendly, no reason for people to be abusive. Sorry not nitpicking, just wanted to support the fact it didn't say tw@t before.
Yes it's reasonable for you to do whatever you want on here. I think people were just giving suggestions to try and help.
Negativity breeds negativity. You're more likely to get tw@ts messaging with a tw@tty profile.

I have removed the twat, 'twas written in anger after being called a time waster and a head case. Somehow I think I will still get the "why are you on here then and wasting my time because I felt I have to write to you and tell you I'm not happy about your useage" type mails

The bottom line is that yes you can write what you like on your profile and use the site however you wish. Sadly there will always be twats. The forum has provided ways in which you could minimise contact from such twats by making certain changes. If want the abuse to stop you need to change the way you do things as you won't be able to change the behaviour of others by whinging on the forums. |

Leave the 'looking for men' box unticked. Men will still be able to mail you (for example, men who see you in chat and on the forums) but you won't appear in search results. This should help minimise the random messages. Of course, if you still want to appear on searches then there's nothing to be done but to accept that sometimes you'll receive messages you don't like. |

" the way your profile is worded probably doesn't help. Why not just put you're not meeting at present due to personal reasons or similar and leave it at that ?
I have to agree. My favourite word is Twat but I would never dream of having that on my profile to describe anyone who messages me.
That's what I did originally have but having been called a time wasting cunt and a head case just this morning I changed it. So if someone called you that you would not think they were a twat? I did once send a return message that said what a twat they were for abusing me and that's when I got a warning for sending abusive messages.
And as many have said what I have on my profile and what I use it for is my own business, I didn't invite a nitpick of my profile and again, I asked if it was reasonable to use this site if not meeting or chatting with new people
Not sure what you had as your profile when you got the abusive messages but the one you had when you first posted was perfectly fine, friendly, no reason for people to be abusive. Sorry not nitpicking, just wanted to support the fact it didn't say tw@t before.
Yes it's reasonable for you to do whatever you want on here. I think people were just giving suggestions to try and help.
Negativity breeds negativity. You're more likely to get tw@ts messaging with a tw@tty profile.
Have a good Sunday.
I think that just by being a woman here you get twatty messages simply because they can and then they can shut their laptop lid and snigger
imagine them slamming the laptop shut and trapping their cock in it."
I've got an image of the OP slamming it repeatedly while shouting at them "Don't ever send me abusive messages again you little twat!" |

"If I get sick of something I do something about it. I don't draw attention to myself by moaning about it"
I tried to by changing my wording on the profile. Don't draw attention to myself?? Then I wouldn't post at all would I, like you? Oooh sorry you do post.... There you go |

I don't expect to change others behaviour...I was interested in the views of people about the way I use my profile, that's seems to have got lost a bit amongst the other stuff |

But you say it wouldn't be up to others what you do with your profile and become defensive when people suggest ways you could improve it to stop the unwanted behaviour? |

Whatever, why should I put in effort to stop people being twats because, lets face it, they will always be twats no matter what I do |

The OP should be able to use her profile what ever way she wants without receiving abuse from anyone. Unfortunately there are some people on this site that feel they have an entitlement to things that they don't and then become angry and abusive if they don't get it. My advice to the OP is to ignore and block those people and think yourself lucky you were able to find out what sort of person they were without ever having to meet them.
You haven't asked for advice on changes to your profile that might reduce the likely hood of this happening so I won't give any.
I hope you don't mind but I couldn't help fabbing a few of your great pics. |
