Hi,
Thank you for the explanation about the rules for spam filters...
I can ensure you that I'm real and don't want to disturb anyone by any means.. I just joined this site and want to make friends, exchange ideas etc..
I'd be very careful from now on about how to write to other members and I hope you unblock me as soon as possible...

Regards
Dani


You may be real but you will not be "unblocked" until you have proved to the forum that you are a contributing member by following the rules on post#1

You must post a number of times on other sections of the forum by answering threads with informative and topical posts.

Silly one word type posts will not count and posting here on this thread will not count either.

Follow the rules and you will get your message system activated and you will be on your way to becoming a contributing forum member.

Yes sir,
you are right.

Sorry for the copy and paste.
But I should have sent the same message to several members. Really they were not spam.
Thank you.

No one else but yourself can reactivate your PM system as it was outlined in the very first post. Please follow the rules once more.

Hi,

in order to ensure quality to our users, and to considerably reduce the number of spam sent by private messages, we decided to set up a few new rules.

But we'll start with a few explanations.

Our definition of spam ?
Unsolicited emails or private messages.

How we detect spam ?
90% of spam is sent by new users
90% of spam are "copy and paste messages"

Please, please...
Don't send the same message to several users without taking the time to explain us how we could help you on the forum.

If you are a new user and if you post more than 5 copy and paste messages, your private message system gets blocked.

Stop asking us to unlock your PM system
You can unblock your private message system by yourself. How can you do that ?

Please take the time to present yourself on the forum, to participate to a few discussions (with real answers), and your private message system will be unlocked. That's it !


I accept my mistake and wud avoid it. I read all term and conditions.

ali834150

Ok
Thanks a lot.

Sorry I was not familiar with the system and I was trying to offer my help with any kind and to use my connection over here which I believe I can do help other, specially women because its more difficult for them than men to accommodate the culture here,

I like making friends and have mutual respect to share our experience and knowledge, so, anyone who is interested to contact me please feel free to do so.


Anyway for sure next time I will take care of your advice

Thanks in advance

You are not blocked. You have not posted enough times on other sections of the forum to have your system activated.
Read post#1 on this thread and the many hundreds of others here that explain how the forum operates. You have to earn the right to have your system activated.

Thanks for your prompt response, and kind reply

You are the only one who can reactivate your system. Read the rules on post#1, follow them and you may just have it reactivated.

Any copy and paste is treated as spam.

Two points come to mind:

As has been mentioned many times, these things should be done on the open forums - You'd be shocked at the number of pervs, scammers, and general fools that send PM's fishing for something.

As you're trying to contact ladies, perhaps you should be clear about your own gender (assuming you're female) in the form of a mention in your profile and a 'female' style avatar. Everyone assumes they get blocked after sending too many PMs, but most simply go over their quota.
It is possible to get blocked, perhaps by being reported too many times, and ladies getting random PMs from someone they think is a man trying it on might well get you blocked, perhaps even banned.

If you are a man - don't do that stuff.
