Do You Want To EFFECTIVELY Complain About The Standard Members Losing Their Email Privileges????

As many of us come to expect, the most excellent and well venerated [blog wordsmith6900] has weighed in on the current hoorah about the restriction of messaging privileges on the site, which weighs as usual most heavily on the poor but affects us all adversely. His advice is sound and is the result of years of service blogging and researching the intricate history and convoluted workings of this site. He has a voluminous capacity for memory storage and can pull it all up at need. It is the best post I've read on the topic and I think offers the most sound approach. Read his post [post 3707442]-Do You Want To EFFECTIVELY Complain About The Standard Members Losing Their Email Privileges???? and leave him a comment, and then act!

And I'll also take the time and space (Please, no discussion here about quantum physics, string theory or the nature of reality. Save that for another post.) to say that this blogger [blog wordsmith6900] never fails to impress me with the clarity of his thinking or his command of the facts. He is in my opinion the go-to guy for all matters site related. If we had an Elrond, he would be portrayed by [blog wordsmith6900].

Take a couple of minutes and give him your attention. He has important words of wisdom to impart!

I do too, my friend. I've been mulling it over in my mind- there's quite a lot of room in there for mulling, for which you need space- and was kind of at a loss for the best possible tactic. I like the idea of boycotts in principle, and they do work in practice, too. But in the middle of the mulling process, [blog wordsmith6900]'s post popped up. I liked it. Gold members really should get behind this.

I like this site. We all have bitches about it, me included, but it provides the most pleasant social networking, in the blogs, that I have found. There's considerable freedom of speech here even with the restrictions already in place. But restricting access to one another will drive people away. You might as well try to get laid on AssPlace.

I respect [blog wordsmith6900], and that's from experience.

When I see that "heart" emoji in one of your comments to me, my own heart goes pitty pat. I think you put a bit of a Nick in the superior vena cava.

OK, this LOOKS like a rolling on the floor laughing emoji, but it's really me writhing on the floor in ecstasy. I get a bit emotional sometimes.

maybe I am a little naïve I have only been a member for 13 years, but I never knew they had privileges...that's why they try and upsell new men to buy the standard contacts. Personally I think it limits the bots email priveleges came with popularity and views

Standards could read and respond to messages sent to them. Now they can't.

that must be new... first several years on here I paid for my membership, they had a silver back than along with gold, than I thought I was tired of paying for the glitches so I went standard I couldn't do a lot of things I got some privileges by popularity when a certain amount of people viewed your profile..than a sweet gentleman bought me a membership so I could see all his pictures and videos than the ice breaker came out. that comes with a price having a picture and it generates an email you compose to new people..if they were allowed to email all the time that is something new and if they did do away with it, it is probably to prevent BOTS and phoney profiles

    Oh bullshit! The only bots and phony profiles are those created by Affairlook themselves, to send out a bunch of phony flirts and messages enticing foolish men to pay for a membership that turns out to be worthless. This new policy won't stop that. It will only cause the people who might have been considering a paid membership (like me) to realize the site is run by morons who only want your money, and quit.
Take it easy. Be polite when you respond, please. It's fine to disagree, but keep it civil.

[blog wordsmith6900]'s post is still up but the link isn't going hot- anywhere on the site, as near as I can tell. That's why I copied the title of his post as well as the numerical link. I would suspect foul play but I know they would never censor us in that way. Remember the hacking scandal?

Well, if they want there paid member count to be reduced, they should keep doing things like this, messages make the world go round, if I can't expect a return message from a standard member, that limits my possibilities as a paid member, pure common sense, economics 101.

It's a brand new thing, kinky. redrockrascal alerted me to it in a post first, and the anger in the blogs started welling up right away. Pretty much everything here is a privilege and not a right since this IS a business. But paid members have a contract and the service that is paid for is being reduced. If the protest doesn't succeed in reversing the policy change, folks might just start voting with their feet.

Thanks, Spunky. Word always has something cogent to add to any discussion. In the tide of rising anger about the message policy change, his is a calm and clear voice.
