Don't know about you but.. I'm seeing too many "newbies" with empty profiles and either jumping on other peoples "new member threads" to intro themselves or joining topics while being WAYYYYYY with chit like "hi, I'm new here, looking for love".. It's mind boggling really..

so.. are they all scammers? or are they all that dumb to think they'll find "true love" without divulging a single thing about themselves.. being their profiles are for the most part.. EMPTY!

oh and.. gotta love the "delete my account" threads.. like the website owners are responsible for removing their accounts.. do they want the site to do their laundry too??

IS is only me? do you agree or disagree?? by all means.. add your gripe!!

I agree, I think we are seeing the results of the loss of many site moderators, they use to guide new members which no longer happens as much as it once did.

My peeve is regarding the recent Avatars that appear instead of a profile photo by many members, they are completely unfunny. I remember back in the day when members were allowed to create their own Avatars, these were at least unique, many were funny and interesting, but sadly I think it got abused and was ultimately stopped. The previous Avatars which just showed a black silhouette of the head of a man or woman dependant upon the member's gender were better in my opinion, if these new ones are supposed to be funny they are lost on me.

Hope Incarceration does not follow all this griping, can I plead the fifth from the UK.

Dut.. if you suddenly go MIA I'll reach out to the powers that be and see what I can do.. no promises tho.. I'm not ALL POWERFUL.. although some might think I am hey.. having a big mouth works.. sometimes

I agree.. those avatars are pretty awful.. and some 'male' ones are associated with female profiles and vica-versa.. someones obviously NOT paying attention

as far as I'm concerned.. we still have the freedom to air our gripes and shouldn't be thrown in jail for it.. although that may be why those in the USA haven't posted yet..

Not exactly a gripe but;

The "ugh, me want woman" neanderthals, and the "lets have ""fun"" pseudo playboys who think that kind of post is going to get them anything other than a hooker or a scammer working in a scammer sweat shop in Cambodia.

The "I love deep intellectual conversations" women whose only conversational skills are "hi, how's your day, lets continue to get to know each other more better on watsapp, google chat, or g mail".

Just make me

they make me wanna 🤮


I'd consider that a definite pet peeve Mo

I will admit all those things are annoying, delete my account when the instructions were posted on the thread saying you have to do it yourself yet they still post asking to have their account deleted..

Scammer threads are another.. This is the Internet wake up there are scammers everywhere even in your personal email. Makes me wonder if they respond to those emails..

Another of my pet peeves are even the ones that constantly post just to say that person is deactivated.. Humm they had to do it themselves many do that each time they get off line.. Then many do it to post leading you to their profile so you can find them by their FB etc. Why not let the thread die...

Then you have those that want to post Political responses shshs keep those in the Political Forums. Where they think they know what all is going on in the US but don't even live in it..

Ohh and when you find a thread worth answering you have those that don't just post a few off topic comments they keep it going for a full page.. Reminds me of my shiny penny moments when one can't focus on the Topic

Awe then you have some that want to dissect everything someone says.. As if their experience is way worse.. Or just the ohh mee oohh my post.. wanting others to feel sorry for them.. Makes me want to say suck it up butter cup there are much worse things in life..

by all means TG.. don't hold back

there's a lotta truth in what you've posted.. and I'll own up to my crap..

cuz admittedly.. I will sometimes post that the OP has deactivated.. in my defense tho.. I'm only doing that so others won't waste their time responding and asking questions of the OP only to wait forever for an answer.. that'll never come.. "the road ta hell is paved in good intentions" so moving forward.. fug y'all

as for scammers.. yeah.. I concur.. they're everywhere.. but they really REALLY pizz me off.. like get a real job why don'tcha cuz I ain't sharing any of my hard earned cash with you NOR do I want you fugging up my world cuz you think it's fun to mess with it.. I've had my identity & banking info stolen and it's absolutely no walk in the park trying to get it back from those idiots hands OR having to change everything.. but I guess it's simpler to just sit on their lazy azz's and let their fingers do the walking thru someone elses life cuz they can't make one for themselves.. the disrespectful crud..

I can get at times, I admit it.. even in a real life conversation I can get side tracked.. staring at that shiny penny..

oh gf.. THIS last one is one of my top pet peeves.. I'm glad you mentioned it.. we've ALL had chit thrown at us that we've survived, witnessed first hand or lived thru that makes us who we are today.. but to whine about it? I agree with ya TG.. "suck it up buttercup.. cuz there's others out there WAY worse off than you"

*Zee sings* don't worry.. be happy..

Hey now was I supposed to sugar coat it

Actually a lot of those things use to bug the heck out of me back when I was a mod for we would have to delete like 6-7 post instead of just the main one that started it. Now I just by pass those threads all together..

Scammer threads well now it seems some feel they have to start a new thread about scammers often instead of just posting on the 50 others that are out there.

My pet peeve is seeing so many new profiles with people claiming to live in places that dont even exist.....like Ontario, Ontario or Florida , California!......makes me wonder which scholl these obvious scammer went to ....if at all !!

that's a good one Slim.. definitely a red flag..

nope... no sugar coating required

omg I bet there was far too many huh..
