Why did I encounter an email limit?

We had to place a limit on first-contact emails because of spammers. Basically, this cuts down the number of first-contact emails that one can send within a two-to-three-day period (we can't divulge anymore information about this limit). However, a member affected by this limit will still be able to send an unlimited number of emails to those with whom he or she has already had some back-and-forth. It should be noted that MinglePlus members are exempt.

I think what 007bliss was saying in the original inquiry on this thread was that he tried to send a single message to a potential match and he got the "you have reached the limit of your messages today. Wait till tomorrow" post. He waited until the next day and tried to send the (same) message again and got the "limit" message a second time. In other words, because his initial attempt to make contact didn't go through, he tried it again on the following day, as instructed. I didn't take it as an attempt at harrassment, as other's have implied.

I'm new here too and I also find this site rather frustrating. It seems like most of the ladies that I find interest in (probably 90%, yes really, 90%) seem to no longer frequent this site. On other singles sites that I've been on, the active accounts are the first ones that we see and as we browse, we eventually work toward those accounts that are rarely checked or those that have even completely abandoned. I'll give it another week or two to see if there are ways to filter out the old accounts, but otherwise it's going to be a short stay for me too.

That is the only way you get that message, you send too many emails out and you get stopped...If he did wait a day, he would be able to send his mass amounts of emails to that one person again, until he hit the "Too many" mark again unless of course she replies back.

Upon first registering a few nights ago, I sent a (one) casual hello message to several ladies and I too got the "limit" message. I wasn't sending multiple messages to the same person. I was immediately discouraged and didn't attempt to make contact with anyone again for a couple days but I have gotten that "limit" message several more times, so I understand what 007bliss was talking about. Let me make myself perfectly clear here...I have never sent more than 1 message to any of the ladies on this site, but I still occasionally get the "limit" message. It seems rather random and does tend to diminish my very limited experience here. Just sayin'...
