Hi --

Yeah, I want more rain! Bring it on!

Hey! I was running through the search list and sending messages and I "reached the maximum number of users I can contact in one day. Please try again tomorrow"

What's this all about? This is the first time I've ever had this happen on any online dating service and I've been using quite a few!

I was only picking out ladies that I thought had a good match to me with the profile they provided. Looks to me like this website is overmoderated or something. I have 74 PAGES of matches to my search criteria. MOST of the hits are women who "haven't been seen in over a month". "Nudging" doesn't send them an email, so I have to send a message if I want to get their attention. And now I find there's a governor on the messages! This ain't gonna work.

Please tell the owners I only got through 6 pages today of mostly useless, old and abandoned profiles before I was limited by this governor on number of messages I could send.

I'm seriously starting to get discouraged from using this website for the purpose it's supposed to be for, which is to make contact with potential dates. Someone needs to look over the successful dating websites and copy them.

Sorry if I sound negative, but really I'm not very happy so far with the rules and regs here which seem to be designed to STOP me from meeting people.

Humm well Bob when you send out the same messages to many people at once the site does see this. And due to scammers doing the same thing it is a filter to help keep scammers at bay....

Cause they seem to paste and copy the same thing to everyone... Like I said if you have concerns on the site post them in the Help forums for the Admin to answer your questions.

Do you post on any thread but this one? If not, you might try some others also. Mingle is different from most 'dating' sites. People here like to meet other people from the forums. It's not a quick fix for anyone, although many have made matches here. We've found that the ones who troll for dates, won't make the grade, so to speak. Put yourself out there, you'll meet some really nice people on Mingle. The ones who haven't been seen for over a month are the impatient ones, who thought magically to connect on the first contacts. It's like anything else, you have to be patient for good things to happen.

Vivian, I think he is talking about seeding e-mails if you send e-mail after e-mail of the same thing the filters see you as a scammer and will limit your e-mails if they are the first time e-mails...

But once you start e-mailing the same person over and over there is no limit...Just on the first time you send them it will only allow you to send so many first time e-mails to a different people.

Hi -

Sorry. I read each woman's profile and typed a new message to each one reacting to what she'd typed. Otherwise, she wouldn't know I'm the clever, debonaire, witty man I am!

No, I was just running down my search list, lots of the women I had no interest in, but the ones that looked possible, I wrote them an individualized message.

I suspect that the women who abandoned this site found the same thing I did - there's no "ferment", no "froth", no responses, it's slow here. The other competing websites have a lot of action and sure enough, people have to ignore/ban harrassers and spammers, but the alternative is almost no action at all!

I agree with gating spam. I HATE spam! As far as I'm concerned, after the third idential message detected, the user should be banned for a week and another violation should ban the ID forever!

Actually, there's a limit on the total number of messages you can send a day here, no matter what the content is, and this was a decision made by management. It's arbitrary and someone picked a number of total messages a day that can be sent.

My work has been programing all my life. I finally ended up in sales/marketing/tech support and design for customers. I don't think this site is responsive to customer needs for the purpose of the site.

Have the owners/managers e-mail me at my registered e-mail address and I'll offer them my services to make a list of competing website features and comparisons to this site's features. If they'll buy me membership in the top pay-only websites, I'll include them too. This website is very discouraging. I've gotten 4 times more dates in the same time I've been here on other free websites (which I won't name but you surely know already).

Ok, this is where you ban me for bitching, right? I knew it was gonna happen eventually...

I have to type it again! lol!

Thank God for copy/paste!

Well, that's it for my bitching for now. I haven't gotten a single response to all my letters yet. Maybe it's my underarm deoderant. No, that's right, I don't wear any!

Actually, it was Friday night I went out. And I'm not sure yet, but hedging my bets. Anyhow, I'm not rushing into a new relationship. I expect to take weeks or months of dating the same person before I'm ready to proposition her into something more permanent. Like fungus, I will wait until we grow on each other a while...lol
