Similar world limiting number of people you can message

You're the first woman who's complaining about it, which makes me think you're not a woman.

For the vast majority of users on here, it's literally a non issue

The only people who I've seen complain about it are guys who spam PMs to women on here

i hate this policy

Totally agree ... shall we chat in PM's

I don’t understand it. Are these new people some kind of celebrities that you have to pay to speak to? It makes no sense to me. I hardly interact with new people, and block a lot of them, so it doesn’t bother me, but it’s a bit strange all the same.

I am not bothered, I mainly interact on posts and what I am liking is it seems to have limited the amount of request messages I get, which are generally from people i would not interact with anyway.

My inbox is so slow it doesn't matter! Most of my activity, like 99.99%, on here is completely in the open.

Why hide behind PM's is way beyond me.

I think it’s great, people aren’t bothering me as much anymore. I only want to interact occasionally with users I know well on here.

I think it is cutting the site's own throat. That completely kills the idea of a "social media" site because it discourages the "social" part...........unless you pay us.

I don’t even know what the problem is. Most of these changes are things I don’t notice. Hopefully this means I can expect less harassing messages.

a revenue enhancement

they said it is to keep the interactions out in the open so we can enjoy the social interaction

melarkey says I

I paid a lump sum a couple of years ago, and got 5 years of VIP. Well worth it when I hear other people complaining about ads, limited messages, and so on.

I couldn´t care less because I don´t send messages to anybody except to my longtime friend. And as long it´s not limited to send messages to my longtime friend I don´t mind about that.

But of course I feel sorry for all the other users and I think that the Admins shouldn´t make a limited number of people users can message when they don´t have VIP.

This is a social website, and so it should be possible to contact others without to pay money for that.

I do not private message with that many people anyway so it has not had any effect on me.

Really? I have VIP and havent noticed it. I guess they want you to buy VIP

I am just back here after 3 yrs being away and wasn't aware of this.

Ok news to me...how many people are we allowed messages with

i rarely ever message anybody so i havent noticed.

The only other realistic option is the website selling your message history to advertisers like on facebook. Considering this, I'd say it has a positive effect on me because I know that they have a level of respect for me.

As my inbox has only ever received one message, it also makes no difference to me.

I dont have that problem, how many is too many?

I made a post about this not to long ago

I tend to only talk to maybe 2 or 3 people

Messaging people isn't my thing so it's okay

I have seen this a lot. But I don’t know what the threshold is to where the limit would kick in.

I’ve maybe created three texts in a single day at max. And that’s when I joined. So is the number much higher?

I don't really PM often and haven't tried to PM anyone new in months, I think, so not sure if I'll be affected byt for people who mostly want to use the site privately, must be devastating.

maybe it'll push people to use other means. it really has zero effect on me here so far, but as a trend and course, i don't much care for it.

I've not had any problems at all in messaging new people, and I do it all the time. It sounds to me that those who can't now must have abused the algorithms

I literally never had the issue when I wasn't VIP a few days ago and I messaged people occasionally.

Sending unlimited messages is what i really liked about this site.

i have not encountered this!
did you get some kind of message?
@Melissaxx

smh, who cares

Once upon a time ep had free chat box. 😝

It doesn't bother me one bit.

I think it’s wonderful!!

It’s not a problem for me, since I have only a few longterm friends whom I message regularly.

Message people out in the open

It doesn't bother me. What I do on here isn't affected, as I hardly chat in the dms anyways

Very sad….

Sux

Im ok with it

I never message people.

I find it very frustrating.

:(

A naked attempt to get more paid users.

The site is just strangling itself with that stupid rule. A social media site that discourages people being social is the dumbest thing you can possibly imagine. Next out of greed for the buck they will demand everyone pay to use the site. Watch and see.

I like it. It'll stop some of the freaks sending unsolicited messages to numerous people.

Well, this will curb my dick-pikking.

Fuck. Now I wont be able to message "hey bb" to every female user today. This is a severe injustice and I'm taking it personally.

Lame isn’t it. 😞

I don't really care. I rarely message people I haven't messaged before. Most of my interaction happens on posts.
