Too many people have abused the DMs with creepoid stuff for several people here. Best to get to know someone in public comments and posts first these days.
@Starcrossed but here鈥檚 the thing we were all taught that line from my moms in our dad鈥檚 and as adults we should see it some stuff should be left if that lady or that man wants to go that far go to p.m. is all I鈥檓 saying
We don't owe every single message an answer. We have real lives and our own personal preferences about who we choose to talk to.
I prefer to get to know people out here before moving to inbox in order to keep the creeps out. So I won't and don't open every message I get - and less so when the intro implies any reference to dick or even a dick pic.
@Funlov Most folk don't like it - but I was here in the time before inbox pics were automatically blurred... and I got my fair share of dicks of the literal and metaphorical variety.
See here is one thing that is not put on here I get where you鈥檙e coming from but you know how many times I open my inbox up and there鈥檚 some big set of saggy tits. It鈥檚 the same but I get where you鈥檙e coming from but nothing worse than seeing a big set of saggy tits I didn鈥檛 ask for.
@HootyTheNightOwl I鈥檒l call sheep, a sheep and a wolf a wolf every day all day block me that just makes me laugh and reality means you can鈥檛 handle it. Can鈥檛 take the conversation but don鈥檛 send me your big saggy tits.
This is not a meeting new people website. It happens but the main purpose is sharing experiences and asking questions. Once people get to know you through your posts then you may make some friends along the way. There are other apps for that if that鈥檚 your goal.
@deadteddy you鈥檙e wrong you鈥檙e saying what you think this app is for you鈥檙e wrong this is this app is for many things whatever somebody wants to make it for so you鈥檒l look outside the box and just saying if you鈥檙e gonna go outside the box there鈥檚 still gotta be a line in the sand but you鈥檙e definitely wrong. That鈥檚 your way of thinking that鈥檚 how you look at this app that鈥檚 not what this app is that鈥檚 what anybody wants it to be.
@deadteddy all good this is what it鈥檚 about conversation you never have to apologize mostly to me or to anybody else you鈥檙e allowed to voice your opinion that鈥檚 what makes us who we are. Thank you.
@Funlov Many reasons I think. I can not answer for anyone but myself.
I'm not fond of pm's because they are far too time consuming and I am not here to get "close". I enjoy expressing and sharing on posts or my private albums versus being stuck in an inbox.
Most of us just check it and don鈥檛 open the messages. If the message is interesting/nice/whatever criteria is being used to judge we open. If it is boring or annoying we just leave it or delete it. At least that鈥檚 what I would do.
I can't speak for everyone on SW but I have a protocol for DMs.
First, you have to be active in the forums. Why would I be interested in talking directly with you if I know nothing about you from the group forums??
Second, you and I must have at least seen each other in the forums, maybe even have commented on one another's posts or something.
And lastly, if you DM me and start hinting toward anything sexual before we have established a connective rapport, your message is definitely gonna be ignored.
@DearAmbellina2113 Yep, that's pretty much what I do. I immediately ignore any "hi, how are you?" messages from someone I've never had any communication with on posts 馃槦
@SW-User I don鈥檛 get a lot. I think I鈥檓 a little dry straightforward but that鈥檚 just me knocking apologize for it. I鈥檓 not rude. I鈥檓 just straight forward.
SW-User
Responding is up to one鈥檚 discretion It鈥檚 never been a TOS requirement
@PerfectionOfTheHeart I agree I wouldn鈥檛 put too much thought in there. Anything on here until I got to know somebody that鈥檚 just the way it is that鈥檚 life.
