Profile activation question - 6/17/2017 6:17:36 AM

I can't find the right place to ask this question, so I'm posting it here.

Perhaps a moderator would be kind enough to move it and/or reply, please?

At my suggestion, a Domme friend of mine from another site made a profile on this site, and after several days it still wasn't activated, so she could receive messages, and actually had one or two, surprisingly(?), but couldn't reply to them.

She submitted a couple of support requests through the site, but they were unanswered.

After a while she gave up on that profile and created a new, substantially similar one instead, to see if that worked.

She's now been waiting over a week for that one to be activated, to no avail.

She has again submitted support requests without getting acknowledgement of them.

So naturally enough, she's wondering whether the site's now closed to new members, and puzzled as to why - if so - it's still possible to try to join and make a profile.

Any advice/observations would be gratefully received - and thanks in advance.

No its not closed to new members.

i dont know if it does IP bans or previous naughty people bans - anyone?
As far as I know there is no activation

So let wait until a more knowledgeable member comments - oi you more knowledgeable members wakey wakey

In the meantime send her a first contact message
And have her send you a first contact message

And let us know how you get on with that.

Apparently this has changed, recently.

New profiles now show, at the top, an announcement to the effect that their owners won't be able to send messages until their profile is approved, which is normally done "within 24 hours".

But it doesn't actually happen.


quote:

In the meantime send her a first contact message



I've done that. She received it, but when she clicks on "reply", she gets an error-message pop-up informing her that "an approved profile is needed to send messages" and that profiles are normally activated within 24 hours.

But it doesn't actually happen.


quote:

And have her send you a first contact message



She's unable to, for the same reason.

The two profiles from which she's tried were created from different IP numbers and using different browsers.

My belief is that at the moment (and probably for the last couple of weeks) nobody can actually join the site at all, in the sense of actually getting their profile activated.

Thanks for trying to help me. But apart from submitting "support requests" (which go unanswered, as explained above) do you know if there's any other way of contacting the site's admin, please?

Please can one of you more knowledgeable members in the loop please assist.

http://collarspace.com/personals/help.htm I myself have only noticed two minutes ago they have slightly updated the help and sites TOC. Nice too see actually :)

But at the moment I remain, still, unaware of a verification system profile approval system.

But if you give this thread a bit off time I am sure one of the regulars more in the loop can help

In the meantime great she received that
But can she send you a first contact email?

I will be about all night here and keep an eye on any comments or advice. If there is none I will ask me twin sister to join from my hovel.

But I will also stress - this is the second approval thread I have seen this year so perhaps there is something in what you say.

note two: the site does not restrict a member to one profile - so I suggest you rejoin and see if your secondary profile has the same problem - and from there we can look at it ifs its gender specific as this place was bad for bots/scammers creating profile after profile so its not without the realms of possibility the owner is trying to do something about that.

Thanks; I'll watch the thread with interest.

No; she doesn't see the "send quick message" box on any profiles she looks at.

If she clicks on "send photos" at the top of a profile (in an attempt to open a message box to which attachments can be made) she gets a pop-up error-message saying "an approved profile is needed to send messages".

There seems to be, anyway. The question is: can anyone do anything about it?

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try that.

I'd wrongly assumed there's a one-member-one-profile rule and hadn't tried it.

Never activating a new profile would certainly avoid bots/scammers joining the site and spamming its members, but at the cost of also never increasing the membership - surely counterproductive, from the site owner's perspective? So it's all pretty surprising.

As far as I am aware the one member one profile doesn't exist on any BDSM site.

Your IP and browser are irrelevant - she is not signing in via tor or vpn is she?

i really shoudnt say this but if you have ever tried on a dress - oh come on we all have surely?

Then do a temp profile with your female persona(we will allow that methinks ;) - and that one should answer your question and then have your male persona send your female persona an email and see if she can rely to that and do a first contact back as well

And we will take it from there.

As for support - this place is a one person site - if he has helpers now I am unaware. So do not expect an answer back anytime this decade.

But I am a little perplexed as you are the second person this year to mention on these forums "approved profile" but the first person was a a bloke

Now after that, if that doesnt work, have her clear out temp caches from the beginning of time after she deletes both profiles fully....do this properly and fully

Then she creates a new profile with new email addy

No - nothing like that.

She tried once from home and once from work, that's all. Both female profiles, one with a photo and one without.

I'm sure she knows about clearing cookies/offline content, and so on. It's not creating a profile that's her problem. It's just getting it activated. (And other new members, too, so it's presumably not about anything she's doing?).

I see. Thanks. Possibly he'll eventually notice, at some point, if - as I strongly suspect - there are no new members participating on the site at all (she asked hopefully)?

Forgive me if I'm being dense, but I don't quite see why gender would be relevant.

Anyway, I'll make a "male profile" myself, from a new hotmail address or whatever, and see what happens. But presumably it will just never be activated, so there won't be anything to report as I won't ever be able to send anyone a message that way, anyway.

Are they too pussy to put a big sign saying "the board's dead, fuck off", then?

Apprently they are - but it is dead, for potential new members anyway, if there's really no way to contact an admin/owner for support. New profiles are just not activated. Weird.

Note: To control spamming it has become necessary for us to require that after creating an account as you are now doing users create a profile before being able to send messages to other users or add other users to their favorites list.

Once created profiles are reviewed, usually within 24 hours, and if they are approved the account holder is then able to send messages and add users to their favorites list.


That's newish.

Important: Your profile will not be visible on the website nor will you be able to send or respond to messages until your profile is reviewed and approved. This process ususally takes less than 24 hours.


1. We will check now.
2. We will leave it one hour and add a verified picture and see if that makes a difference.

My new take is they appear to be trying to do something about the scammers and fake profiles. But without a verification system I am not sure how that would work exactly.

She can see me but not send me an email. But I cannot find her at all
Perhaps there is no-one to approve profiles or they are on holiday

I don't understand. Was that comment addressed to me?

If it was, I've never been banned from this site, and it isn't even my own profile I was asking about - mine is working perfectly, thanks. (And the friend on whose behalf I'm asking has never been a member, and first heard of the site only about 3 weeks ago.)

read all my words

It would appear this place is trying to curtail fake profiles - 12 years too late. But it is something, and I am 100% fine with that.

Can you create a secondary profile my sister went home about 11pm

I have to tell this joke first...

Why in the hell would you recommend this site to your female friend? As they say, with friends like you, who needs enemies?

(Don't worry. I'm not quitting my day job in favor of comedy.)



OK. You're problem isn't exactly new. If you take a look through Perv to Perv assistance, other people have mentioned it. Within a week or two, your friend will have email.

Christ! when me twin sister visits i have to explain the "ads" and pretend I am here just for the forums

what adverts do you women see?

Ah! Op well it seems clear he need to create a secondary profile and see what happens when it tries to interact with his primary.

I gave him that answer I do not believe its gender specific....possible though.


Oi site owner you aboot?

I have never been able to initiate a message. I can receive and reply, but cannot send the first message.
A friend who joined had the same problem, and also could not log into the forums.
So I guess what I am saying is that the site is somewhat randomly fucked up.

ThatDizzyChick strange - when did you join here? You are now the third person this year to have that/similar problem

best I can make out is that the owner curtailed the spambots by adding in an extra layer which requires profiles to be individually approved - doesn't explain you though dizzy

Anyone else having these problems?

I am leaning toward there is no-one here to "approve" profiles. The sign up page etc has changed - when did that happen?

That seems to me to be "just factual". My question is: can anything be done about it? Is there some way of contacting the site's owner and bringing it to his attention?
