Secure Email Forwarding
The site sends your email messages
and receives replies on your behalf. Replies are routed through the site
and forwarded to your email address. Your email address is never
revealed by us. We recommend that you do not include your email address
or other personal details in your messages. (In fact our software will do its best to filter out email addresses as it one of the most effective ways of stopping all those spammers out there).
Bookmarks
You can bookmark the profiles of members
that particularly interest you.
Searches
There is a basic search (on the main screen as you log in) and also a link to a Power Search
that lets you 'zoom in' and narrow down you search. Join / Login
'Bad Word' Filter
This filter detects 'inappropriate' words being used to send messages. This is to reduce the
chances of you getting sent anything that might offend you. Of course, I don't want to stop two lovebirds getting into a
wild exchange - so there is an option to turn of you filtering of messages to you via Preferences (on the top menu bar when you log in).
Spam Filter
I don't want to say too much about spam filtering as it would just give potential spammers clues as to
ways to bypass the filter. However, the system does it best to filter out email addresses (not much point for spammers if they can't include their
email address). The filter also looks for particular word combinations that people don't normally use, but which are used by scam artists and the like (such as those scams
that originate from various African countries).
It is very rare that a genuine member would need to initiate contact with more than a few other members per day. The daily messages limits only exist so that any spam attempt, missed by our spam filters, can be reported to me before it gets to more than a few people.
Your Email Address
Please ensure that you use a genuine email address as the system will restrict your access unless it has a working email address for you. It is best to use a address provided by your ISP rather than a web based email address wherever possible.
Web based email addresses can run out of quota and if this happens we will get an error message when trying to send to you. Your account will then be restricted and your Profile will become unavailable till you fix the problem and verify that your email address is working again.
Additional Features
We reserve the right to add additional
interesting features and use quirky humour from time-to-time.
