Your suggestion is an interesting one, but I can’t comment on whether it’s feasible logistically. I’ll check in with Peter and see what I can find out.
I actually find it pretty creepy that sad individuals trawl forums etc. and try this kind of thing….. but it’s true, I just checked with my special tape measure and it said “Bridie Jenner, practically perfect in every way”
Had a PM this morning from some lovely guy, he’s looking for his life partner and apparenty I’m perfect!
Ha! He’s only human It appeared that he also found a few of our members perfect before we had zapped and banned him!
We’ve looked into options here and at this stage we’d like to keep the messaging open to all rather than let a few rotten apples ruin it for genuine connections.
What we have done is throttle way back the volume and frequency of private messages that can be sent over a set period. That way spammers will get sprung before they can send more than a few messages – hopefully it’s at a balance where legitimate users won’t be inhibited.
At this stage we’ll keep a close eye on it and if it gets worse we’ll tighten things up further to fight the time-wasting spammers!
