How do you get points? Well you can't really.

Where your points are displayed is also a link.
Click on the link and there is a tab that says "How to Earn Points"

When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

I agree with every word you said. Well done. I have been thinking for a long time - simply to leave. In fact, I have almost left the site as I come here very rarely. As you said it, slowly all ability to communicate with almost anyone in any way has been disabled. Shame.

Theses are not the only issues with the site. You missed the gripes of the bloggers especially site's continued ability to drop words or letters in blog posts or in private messages so that the message becomes distorted and sometimes untruthful

I totally agree with you on Point #1. I know and realize that nothing is for free, and that you have to 'Pay to Play', however not only discretion, but also PROTECT the user's PRIVACY.
Err... not sure what you meant by #4 ... lots of ???

If free members don’t stop complaining about everything not being free, they will end up with nothing at all and have to go somewhere else to complain.

Maybe instead of the constant complaining to others on here it might be a good idea to take it to the site ...maybe try and figure out a way to get what you are lookinh for than sit on asses and gripe...time to figure out for yourself instead of asking the masses who actually agree with you and dont have an inkling of a solution...maybe...not meant to insult you ..but you dont have to stay!

You could fix all of those things, but it wouldn't fix the biggest problem this site has. PEOPLE NOT READING PROFILES AND THINKING 'SEX SITE' MEANS ONLINE WHOREHOUSE!! I get the tag lines and the ads saying "get laid in 24 hours", but people, male and female, have preferences. The number of guys that get here after seeing the ads on a porn site (of which I blame this part of the problem on the site itself as they run those lame ads), but they think it means all they need to do is log in, whip out their dick, and choose a woman to f*ck/suck it and they are done. They don't need to be courteous, polite, or show respect. I have seen it time and time again men posting 'it is a sex site' as if that means no woman on here is worth marrying or being friends with.. NOTHING!! You just f*ck these woman as if we are faceless, feelingless, creatures to use for sex and are not even human beings. If you saw the crap we get in emails and God forbid if we get on the IM I think you would understand. My profile is crystal clear, I am NOT available as I found a guy on here and am happy. I have had messages from they are jealous and happy for me to insults from total strangers telling me to get off the site then. Um, so me being here is somehow stopping someone else from finding a partner? Those people can't control themselves if I am here and feel they have to bother me for sex based on I am here? IF that is true then the men saying those things should have no preferences and say yes to every gay man that hits them up even though their profile have in all caps NO MEN NO MEN!!

It is amazing how when online dating is viewed by many a man, NOT all, but way too many, they think women are just mindless whores here and not worthy of anything. I love the guys that have a brain and can read profiles and hold conversations outside of "wanna f*ck?" which is the #1 message we get on here. They can't even say hello first!! The myriad of messages with one word only - hi - and they expect us to jump all over that. They have no profile written other than "ask me" and no photo or a photo of a close up of their dicks. I am not against a penis, but most women don't want it shoved in their faces first and so close you can see their bladder down the hole, of which most men take those photos because it makes their dick look huge!! Yep, the idea a huge dick is all we need... again... or the endless profiles stating they eat p*ssy for days on end.... Women need a reason, men need a place. ALL men have a dick, don't be a dick!! Take your choice of which you prefer, but women no matter how horny don't just say that dick is closest I will screw him. Unfortunately there are so many men desperate for sex with anything that will let them they flood the site and slam out mindless emails with no content that would make a woman interested and in fact turn us off as some are so graphic keeping in mind they never even said hello or asked us if we wanted that type of message at all.

THAT is the biggest problem.. the a**hat men that think we are all whores on a sluts - r - us site that treat women with no respect. Now, if we could get more men to use their brains as opposed to their dicks and REALIZE that women that like sex are good and worth relationships and that we are worthy of respect and courtesy not just see us as a hole for a dick to use we would have a much better site. THEN I would say let's fix all those things you listed. Fixing the IM means we only get more idiots sending wanna f*ck messages and then b*tching us out for not replying when we have 50 men in 1 minute all sending messages at us at mach speed. If we were talking to you I am sure you wouldn't want us stopping to say sorry I am busy with another man, but those men all want us to stop and reply we are busy or something and hope we actually stop and talk to them. You could have a 'busy' sign up as we do now and we STILL get more IM's from guys not caring or watching for anything other than to get their p8ssy they were promised in a commercial advertisement saying 'get laid in 24 hours.'

Before you say that this is a sex site, let me inform you there are over 100 sites that all log in here. Each one has a different name and tag line. Datenation, Passion, SeniorSizzler, Lesbian Personals and the list goes on. Some actually say the leading personals network for dating, romance, and marriage. So those people are not here looking for instant throwaway sex, yet they log in here the same as the other sites. Remember that when you complain they are looking for more than just sex.

Having read a lot of posts about the issues,, I think it's fair to say that some standard members would pay for gold as long as it's not extortionate, and IF and it's a big IF, the bloody site worked properly and they got rid of all the glitches.

ROFLMAO.. Extortion: The obtaining of property from another induced by wrongful use of actual or threatened force, violence, or fear, or under color of official right. Under the Common Law, extortion is a misdemeanor consisting of an unlawful taking of money by a government officer.

I know of no one that is here that is being forced to be here. No one has been threatened "join NoStrings or else.." ROFL Sorry, I Just had to post that.

I'm not sure which dictionary you use, but I use the Oxford English Dictionary and I quote........
"extortionate
ADJECTIVE
1(of a price) much too high; exorbitant.
‘£2,700 for that guitar is extortionate’"

Nothing about being forced to do anything!

First off, the word was "extortion" not "extortionate" that you initially used. The definition of 'extortion as used in the Miriam Webster dictionary:

Definition of extortion
1 : the act or practice of extorting especially money or other property
especially : the offense committed by an official engaging in such practice

Extort in the Cambridge dictionary:
1 : extort-verb: to get something by force or threats, or with difficulty.

Oxford dictionary:
1: the crime of making somebody give you something by threatening them.

Collins dictionary:
1 : Extortion is the crime of obtaining something from someone, especially money, by using force or threats.

So using the word EXTORTION not extortionate, which is the word you used, that IS the definition of extortion by many dictionaries. They all state using force.
