On my home page it says I have a message, but it's not showing up in my inbox. This is the second time I've had this problem. What's going on?

What occurs to me is:

(1) They deactivated sometime before you
could retrieve the message.
(You could quick-check this scenario by
clicking on the username you saw accompany
the 'recent activity' view alert to see
if this is so.)

(2) The message did not pass the filters
(language.)

The account is still active. The last time this happened, I was told it didn't pass the filters, but someone looked into it and passed it through to me. There was no "language" in it at all.

I have my filters set so anyone, anywhere can message me. I don't care if they type dirty words because I'm a grown up and therefore not offended by that kind of nonsense.

If someone wants to talk to me and has made an effort to do so, I want to read what they have to say.

Last time markecephus fixed it for me.

Hello TexasScoundrel,

If you have a user name, please mail it to me.

Thanks,
Mark

why would it have to?

are these not correspondences shared between people
with the reasonable expectation of privacy?

Reasonable? Definitely. I'd say roughly 99.999% of messages go unread by us. We only investigate when there is a good chance that Mingle2's policies are being violated. This doesn't mean that the filters - in place to protect our member base from scammers and the like - are not automatically filtering out inappropriate messages.

But, there was nothing inappropreate in the message that was filtered in this case. Unless you guys filter the word "reefer." This is a trucker's term for a type of trailer some of us pull.

Maybe you should take another look at what's being filtered. I remember once not being able to send an address because the street name was filtered out.

fair enough.
thanks for responding.

We're definitely open to adjustments, but that was not the word that tripped the filter. It was a word that is ordinarily profane.

Well, it beats me what it was then.
