What are "Requests?"

I've been on SW for 3 months but have just noticed "Requests." They seem the same as DMs. How do the two differ?

For some reason, some people's DM go straight to requests. I've noticed that these users are often fetish people or have user warnings.

@JimboSaturn That jibes with the requests I've received, thanks.
Jenny1234 · 51-55, F
@JimboSaturn that makes sense
SilkenHippie · 51-55, F
I don't have requests, I have orders
HumanEarth · 56-60, M
Hahaha, that won't get far with me, all it will get you is a fight

@Bowenw Thanks. Very informative. I clicked a few boxes. (They need a box titled "those who haven't read my profile first") 🙂
Bowenw · 61-69, M
@gailo You can add an "About Me" box to your profile with more details about yourself or your rules for DMs.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@gailo there is a PM greeting message option. You can put in anything you like.

I've only gotten a few, and they seem... off
Mordechai · 31-35, M
Usually weird people.

That's when someone never message you before. They go there for your safety. For the just in case their a nut case.

Gives you a chance to review their profile, before you speak to them
You don't get notifications for the requests until you read or reply.

It's when people message you
That you haven't chatted with. they want to chat with you
It's a filter to stop unwanted messages from coming straight through.

I've had a few requests, but sod them, I'm staying here!
Nevertooold · 56-60, M
That's never happeed to me....I don't block people and have no blocks of any age group except for kids....And I have no gender blocks either....But every once in a while a message someone sends me ends up in my request bin....don't know how or why?
smiler2012 · 56-60
[@gaio] yes they basically work like private messages really makes little sense too have two things that do precisely the same thing 🤷‍♂️
ArtieKat · M
@smiler2012 They don't do the same thing - it depends on your filters whether messages from people you've not interacted with get through to you automatically or not
Convivial · 26-30, F
I'm short, they're from people who you haven't communicated with yet
Nevertooold · 56-60, M
@Convivial What does being short have anything to do with it?
Convivial · 26-30, F
@Nevertooold if they're too long they don't fit in the in box
a request comes from a kind of person you have blocked from messaging, untill YOU send them one
Barebum61 · 61-69, M
Requests are messages from age or gender that you have blocked
gailo · 61-69, F
@Barebum61 Between the link Bowen provided and your response, I get the idea that Requests is a sort of penalty box.
Sam17 · 16-17, M
It's when people contact you first
Probably read your profile and line it
XxEllaxRawrxX · 13-15
Uhm they are usually old weird guys :p at least thats what I get
