No you can’t share personal information or have private conversation, I understand the reason why given the nature of the forum but for some topics I think it could be useful especially to speak to someone who has had similar experiences but your too shy to go into details with everybody on here. However it would be abused and I would imagine a lot of the women on here would get bombarded with messages.
Maybe there should be a pop up that you have to tick to acknowledge before a new member signs up, that states “I understand that this site is not a dating / hook up site” and there is no way of private messaging member”
As the amount of people as of late that clearly are not reading the rules when signing up is crazy.
@ToysForDays When we had private messaging it was felt by some people that they were being left out and was also hard to mod it. On occasions it would be useful to have it again like when you are going through a tough time through a break up etc…
It WASN’t directed solely at you @aljerram it just seems to be a thing more recently.
There a many rules to this forum that make it what it is, but there are obviously many that are making it extremely obvious that they are not even bothering to read them.
Edited to say I’m sorry @aljerram i should proof read my own comment it WASN’T directed solely at you
