Why would I want a free member to have the ability to send readable messages?
I don't want any email matches going out.

or am I not understanding this correctly?

Hello iclicku,

If Member A(paid member) send Member B(free member) an email, then Member B(free member) should be able to Reply to that email But can't send an email. Member B(free member) should be able to send replies or else your website will NOT be active and free member won't be entice to become paid members. Research paid sites such as Match.com and Lavalife.com, they all have unlimited replies to Free Members.

Hope this helps!

i'm not sure i agree with this feature mod. what if a paid member sends out mail to free members giving them his or her email address to contact them off site. the ability to convert the free member has just been lost. i believe that free members should be able to send messages to anyone but have to subscribe to read them. it's how our site works.

Hello David,

For free members to reply to messages is very important from a business perspective.... Now if there is an issue with Free Members sending email address in emails then it's best to suggest a new feature that will prevent all members from sending email addresses via Emails and Chat room etc.  So a good additional suggestion would be to have a feature that will prevent all members from sending email addresses via Emails and Chat Room etc.

I do think a Feature that will prevent all members from sending their email addresses via Email and Chat Rooms is a GREAT feature because this is a Big Issue for me and for most other sites of course. I don't think any of us here.... are here to advertise for Hotmail and Yahoo Mails etc.

we've tried to stop the sending of email addresses in text but it's nearly impossible with all the combinations that an address can be disguised as. such as : at aol, a/t a/o/l, at ay oh el, a-t hotmale, etc...i understand what you guys mean in terms of allowing free members the right to respond to email, but i'm telling you that there are just to many unscrupulous people looking to bypass your systems to take advantage of your good nature. i know that we all want to attract as many members to our databases as possible, but you need to protect the investment of your paying customers from seeing the holes in your design by weeding out the game players and bad eggs that can give your site a bad rap.
