No idea. I’ve checked my settings. I’ve read the FAQ about private messages. I’ve found nothing that addresses this.
I run into the same issue and feel guilt for ignoring people.

@nonsensiclesnail best comment cause maybe the two of us can shed some light on it lol
@HellsBelle thank you 🙂

I don't, and have no restrictions in my settings on who can send messages to my inbox...except for logged out users viewing my profile.

There have been a few times for me also, when I'd liked to have seen a message in that "Requests" folder sooner. I rarely check it, unless someone here mentions it.

I don't know. I wish they would all go straight to inbox.

[c=004A59]OMG. If you hadn't posted this, I wouldn't have checked my messages...I've accidentally ignored someone for 3 days. I am chagrined. 😑[/c]

I wouldn't worry... Just a habit to get into ...
HellsBelle · 31-35, F
@ozgirl512 me and SW have an on again off again relationship. hard to get into the habit lol
ozgirl512 · 26-30, F
@HellsBelle it can be like that at times lol...

It's strange. Once you've messaged someone and they respond, it's not supposed to go in there. But if you archive a convo for whatever reason and then the person messages you, it can be in there. Sometimes when someone I've never talked to messages me it goes there; other times it's in my regula mailbox. I can't figure it out. 🤣🤣

@SW-User I think the intent is admirable because they're trying to avoid stalking. I just don't see how this helps. If I message you twice and you don't respond, then I'm blocked from trying any more, and can't send pics. If you did respond and I suddenly got out of line, you could block me and that's the end of it. But messages are in there people don't know about, sometimes from people they would want to talk to. Do not only does it not really do anything to prevent harassment that I can see, but it could serve as an impediment to some people connecting.

@NotJamieM [c=004A59]Yes...obviously. As I was saying, imagine my chagrin at finding 2 unopened message "requests" in my inbox from someone I've been talking to in the posts. As I said earlier, I wouldn't have know they were there if I hadn't seen this thread (!!) [/c]
NotJamieM · 46-50, M
@SW-User yeah,you feel bad, even though you shouldn't, lol.
iamnikki · 31-35, F
I think it does that if you've never interacted with that person before. That way you're not getting crazy/dirty messages...unless you want them
kodiac · 22-25, M
@iamnikki That's right.
SW-User
@iamnikki [c=004A59]That can't be the answer, because I've gotten crazy/dirty messages from first timers before.[/c]
iamnikki · 31-35, F
@SW-User hmm well Idk
pattycakechamp · 26-30, F
It's a filter. I forgot about it and just checked, blocked a LOT of weirdos.
Fertilization · 36-40, F
Exactly
I want to know the same.

This is a very primitive website. You have to check "Requests" frequently.

@HellsBelle [c=004A59]I have an evil twin running around on SW...someone else here I noticed has a similar profile pic. I don't know that person though. I only used this one on EP at Halloween.[/c]
HellsBelle · 31-35, F
@SW-User what was your name on ep? mine is the same
SW-User
@HellsBelle [c=004A59]BeautyinDarkness. This was between 2007-2009. I tried logging in here with that name, but the system told me it was taken by someeone else.[/c]

Message filter settings must be all checked.
HellsBelle · 31-35, F
@HannahSky by any chance can you tell me where? The only "contact and content" setting I have is "block those under 18".
HannahSky · F
@HellsBelle go into your requests and on the bottom there should be a message filter and options.
HannahSky · F
@HellsBelle also, save the ones you choose at the bottom
