Unavailable

June 15 2016

Why do so many forum contributors have their profile unavailable? then those big red letters try again later. Is this a form of trolling, I will comment but you may not see me. Reading profiles for me gives me some idea, small as it may be, about the person. I don't get why they are happy to comment on everything but hide themselves. What do others think about this? does it devalue their musings? Would any of the unassailable ones like to make a comment?

    I've only just "unhidden" my profile again. I kept it hidden because I'm over getting messages from people that don't read my profile (and some who get nasty if you ignore or reply politely with "no thanks"). I don't really want to meet anyone now after the past few "duds". But I don't want to leave RHP because I love reading the forums. I don't consider it 'trolling'. And maybe not me personally (because I'm not a regular poster), but you can get an idea of some of the personalities here by there regular posts without having to see their profile I think.

    Same as what stirry said, If that's what they choose to do then that's their choice and they don't have to explain their choice to anyone. From memory there is a setting that says I don't want to make my profile visible - Posted from rhpmobile

    Is almost as unavailable as those who have hidden their profiles, except that I have a photo on display :) but what kind of idea can you get about me just from looking at my photo? :) For me, I have disabled my profile (which to me is no difference from hiding it completely) because I am unable to meet anyone at this stage due to my own reasoning (which I have talked about too many times before), but I want to remain on RHP for the Forums. Therefore, I deleted all of the important content of my profile and replaced it with a message to let people know that I am not interested in meeting anyone for now, and so if anyone wanted to ignore and still send me a message, then they would know that they can't blame me for wasting their time! :) Of course, my case represents me only, and like DynamicCouple36 mentioned, sometimes it could be the case of you being blocked for some reason and nobody would know why you have been blocked, except your blocker(s). - Posted from rhpmobile

    Recently I had mine disabled because I was unexpedely sick for a couple of months. Before I disabled it, my inbox was filling up fast. Rather than look like I was ignoring everyone I disabled it. I changed it when I had more time but only so those that know me could message me - otherwise it would still be unavailable. So one reason is people don't want to receive endless messages and flirts. Others are they are busy, have crap going on in their lives, health issues, just having a break from looking for people to play with, have started a relationship but want to keep one just in case, are now in a relationship but love the forums, just want to annoy and tease people with a hot photo and no profile. As a female - it doesn't matter what we write on our profiles. Mine has made it very clear I don't want messages etc but it hasn't stopped the flirts, friends requests and occasional messages from random who can't be arsed reading a few sentences. It's just easier to hide it than deal with imbeciles.

    One does not need to give any explanation (to the profile one has blocked) as to why one has blocked them. There could be many reasons why a profile is unavailable and or why someone has blocked you. For example, we received an unsolicited message from a "single" male, the wording of which was very crass, disrespectful and lewd. The same male had been viewing our profile upwards of 14 times a day, every day. And so we blocked him. Strangely enough, he still attempts to view our profile daily, on average 5-7 attempts. We are not sure how he does this, nor why his attempted viewings are still being registered in the viewing stats section of our profile.

    As previously stated above nobody owes anyone anything with regards to having their profiles active or not, whether they decide to block you or not and what they have in their profile, template short or articulate. Nothing. The comments made by people on the forum should be taken as their it is, their opinions on the subject matter. I don't see how their profiles has any bearing on what they have posted and how it bring you more clarity or enlighten you further. It is irrelevant in my opinion. I never look into the posters ' profile unless the profile pic might grab my attention and I will have a little perve.

    Quoting 'sweetgem' Is almost as unavailable as those who have hidden their profiles, except that I have a photo on display :) but what kind of idea can you get about me just from looking at my photo? :) - Posted from rhpmobile Actually, if you have the 'right' skills / abilities, you can actually get quite a lot from photos. Pretty much anyone can check out what is included in a photo that someone has taken, and come up with some sort of conclusion (whether it be right or wrong). But in my own field, we are trained to actually do 'remote viewing' whereby we can actually interpret someone's traits and personalities, amongst many other things we can find, just by looking at a photo. And it doesn't even need to be a visual clue - I have done 'profiles' from just a phone number, a persons name, psychometry, crystal reading, and what's inside a closed wooden box. Almost anything is possible if you have the necessary skills/ abilities. Tall

    unavailable from time to time ... its good just to take a break and concentrate on other things in life for a while. Even during those times when I am taking a break I still enjoy reading the forums. I am still the same person when "available" as when I'm not "available" so I don't see why my comments would lose their value (if they have any value anyway). LG

    I am not looking for meet ups at the moment. My mind is on other - not as much fun things - but my profile is available to read (I think??). I know I have blocked receiving incoming messages. I contribute here and there usually when I need a bit of a break from work. A few minutes of distraction. Candy

    Is that even a serious question that needs a serious answer.... Maybe coz they have been here a loooooong time and sick of being nice and answering messages from dicks who dont meet their criteria. However, the forums are a way to waste time answering stooooopid questions. Just Sayin.... - Posted from rhpmobile

    I'll say that I've been frustrated by the "profile unavailable" thing from time to time - you read something on the forum and want to ask them a question that it wouldn't make sense to ask on a forum - no, not "yo bish, wanna ride my turgid truncheon", just for the same reason you might be engaged in a conversation at a dinner party and you might turn to the person next to you and ask a question that was deliberately not a part of the group discussion, or you might call out to the guy at the far end of the table. Something that I really like about twitter over most forum systems is that you can make a reference to someone and they receive notice of it. If one were to ask a question specifically of someone in here it can easily be lost - particularly if you don't have IP rights or you're catching up on a post from a few days ago. But that seems very different to what the OP is getting at. No, if someone has their profile unavailable then I don't think it makes the comments any less than someone who has their profile open to all and sundry - I think posts should stand and fall on their own merit.

    You have either been blocked or the posters you refer to don't want to receive messages or flirts..if you are intrigued by their comments on a particular thread,why not say so on the thread. A profile is a sketchy thing anyway and doesn't really tell you much about who a person is or what or how they think. If you want to know more ,go into advanced search with their profile name and all their previous posts under that name will be revealed. Happy reading Q

    ....unlike the person behind the profile. ;-) I am guilty of looking at forumites' profiles, particularly if their post references something on their profile. If its a relatively new forumite I will also look (okay, a couple of times) so I can get a feel for who they are and how they write. Why do I look? I am a person who is attracted to words, a clever turn of phrase, the way people describe themselves, the hint of words left out of a profile which tell me so much more. I am a curious creature and make no apologies for that. If folk don't like me looking they can block me....oh oops, I have crossed into a different thread topic ;-)

If their profile is unavailable we delete the email or flirt without opening it knowing damn well they can check to see if it's been read. lol

    I haven't read the whole thread but wanted to offer my reasoning for closing my profile occasionally. I close it when I don't feel like being in contact with anyone. I will also change the settings to refuse receiving new messages. It saves everyone time. And apparently I don't have anyone blocked at the moment because I don't care enough. Cheers, Peachy

    I just checked flirts, 4 flirts, 3 I couldn't see wtf is that about. And I do what Adelaide does, open the profile, completely ignore the flirt if I can't see them, so they wouldn't know whether I saw it or not. 'bout as much as they deserve So okay nitrox, if you'e still around and reading this, this might make you and others feel better. I've been getting blocked A LOT lately ahaha God dammit, that's my thing, they're not allowed to do that AND new guys in the forum, one guy tonight, bout my age, go to take a peek, just for visual reference to feel comfortable with someone in here, true and I'm blocked And he said he's new to the site?? So why am I blocked? I've never seen him, never been in communication. So I'm then left wondering if they are all pussies and are scared of me or if I might know them from RL somehow. Who knows really and who cares.

    Quoting 'inspirit' I can be humble... ... I heard you were once and just did not like it at all! Hell I consider it a badge of honour to find that a few of the ''ladies'' have blocked me... means I have an aversion to sucking up and generally say what's on my mind. It did take a while to learn not to post after doing Tequila shooters... maybe one day I'll be forgiven! Until then, all's fare in love and forums. No, that was not a misspelling, take it for what it's worth or worthless!

Profiles just remain as they were until the updated profile is approved as mentioned previously. You can always reply to flirts with a message that you are interested and can i see your profile..... Then when they turn it on then block them. Makes me giggle everytime i do that.

    My couples profile with Mr is currently hidden due to the fact we just can't play as a couple atm because he's had some health issues and has been seriously sick. Its easier having the profile hidden then constantly turning people down or leading them by saying we will be available in a few months, when really we just don't know when we will be able to play as a couple again.
