A poll for standard members about the IM change
A poll for standard members about the IM change |
||||
|
Repeating the text in case words get deleted from the post: So we know that standards no longer get 3 free IMs a day to send, and now you have to spend points to send. However do you spend/lose points if you receive IMs? IF and only if you're a Standard member, please vote. There is one option for Golds who want to vote but really, this isn't your circus.
| |||
|
.......and a circus it indeed is ~~
| |||
|
Its bullshit! Cant even chat with people..... Talk about controlling...smdh

I think passion wants to do away with standard members completely
| |||
|
IM rarely works for Gold Members. RARELY.
| |||

there is no chat any more its advertise has free but its all charge
| |||
|
I'm not sure they realize...and I'm sure they don't care....just how many standard members there are on this site. Eliminating them will have a negative impact on the paying members as well.

With less people male/female, gold/not gold, those here will have less choices therefore less possibilities of interacting. Interacting, in various ways, is th only thing dating sites have to offer. Far as the OP's question goes, I have only looked once at IM since the change. I did not see where I could use points to contact someone. Is that actually still possible and, if so, how? When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

By charging points they will eliminate a lot of FAKE PROFILES and SCAMMERS most of the fake profiles are standard members
| |||
|
I lose points if I send the IM or receive the IM.
| |||
|
I haven't had an IM since the site changes so don't know if I lose any points or not. However, I used to report those members who would send their email address in an IM and I'd have to click Reply so I could copy the message I was sent and paste it into the online report and then close the IM. And because I'd clicked on Reply, I'd lose one of my three points. Even though I hadn't actually replied.
| |||
|
I think now there is a question?? Does the originator of the IM pay ? The recipient ? Or do both have to share in this expense??

I am not a standard member, and this is straight up BS and they need to give back free IM's and email. This site is going to down hill each and every day!! It's all about the all mighty dollar for them. I am always trying to help out standard members who need points..I hope your staying cool hun and enjoying a peaceful Sunday..
| |||
|
you know what else is annoying... I can read emails from guys but never from women unless it is the 1st 4 or 5 words. Great!
| |||
|
It used to be vital to read someone's profile and now it's more important to be able to chat to those who can't read them? Using more than all the road!

Even though I was a former Gold member, I'm currently standard, which doesn't make me tight, despite the stupidity of tartwiffaheart and moronic observation- and we don't know if she's one of the many many many women who were given free gold status on the back of paying male members Yes, we lose points now if we answer an IM, and have done for days, so not effective from 20/7/19 as the site claims. The points are lost even if person we msg or reply to is offline or ieven if msg is unread or just in sent status. I have even been deducted points for a follow up msg to same woman later on despite it in effect being part of the same 'chat' There are plenty of similar mind to tart who only thnk Gold members are worth engagin with, though no doubt plenty of Gold members are total morons, as no doubt many of you can testify This does have an impact on gold members being able to interact with all members on the site and devalues their membership, but, there are plenty of points like this that can be made that are way beyond the capacity of some idiots to comprehend
| |||
|
they're obviously trying to make changes to the site in order to stay competitive with stuff like tinder or whatever, but this seems like it will in the long run drive people away. if there's only 5 gold members left in one city and they can't talk to anyone else why would they keep paying for it? i suspect the whole thing will fold sooner or later. If you want to contact me send me a message on my postbox blog: My Postbox
| |||
|
I would consider paying, but the site itself doesn't appear to be a stable platform and their functions seem to work sometimes or are buggy. It's a tough call.
| |||
21/7/2019 17h48 |
Totally bullshit
| |||
|
It sucks but since not paying i cant complain.
| |||
|
As a gold member, it's a joke. A lot of people sign up to see if there's anyone local and once they can't interact at all, they're going to move on. Having a limited number of free contacts per day would go a long way to encouraging people to become paying members, even going back to the old tiered membership structure with a cheaper, somewhat limited option.... Just my two cents
| |||
|
Yeah you do lose them either way. I wouldn’t have a problem with the change if the messenger worked everyone but it sucks when you waste time getting points and it doesn’t work. Plus getting charged 10 points when they don’t respond is kind of bs.
| |||
|
the more i listen n read....i think the male profiles get charged either way. Th females....so far.....only get points deducted IF they initiate the IM. The IM has been tempermental for eons.....the site has done nothing. There are others here that also feel that gold is the only way to go...and they spout off that opinion every chance they get. I, at one point, thought they worked for the site , trying to drum up more paying members. Many stories of the site making unauthorized charges on ones credit card. I would only giv them a pre paid and zero balanced after card. Especially since the gold member features/access are spotty..at best. I have been told that the only free gold nowadays is thru making an Ice Breaker. A few people in the past week have received gold for that. Its becoming more n more of an elitist environment....its already heavily male laden. Once they chisel the standards down to nothing, they will be recycling all gold members. An incestual cesspool in the making, IMHO~~
| |||
22/7/2019 4h39 |
10 points to use IM is too much especially when most times it doesn't go thru. I am also on Alt and they are charging only 1 point and USUALLY it at least goes thru
| |||
22/7/2019 8h19 |
A bajillion years ago when I first got on here you got 20 free IM's a day!!!
| |||
22/7/2019 8h58 |
It‘s a shame about the lost of these 3 free IM…passion is going to loose money again I guess…no one will pay for that !
| |||
22/7/2019 12h53 |
Even when Standard members got 3 free per day, I never, ever had a reply to my sent IM. So I'm not missing much. Also the only emails I get is from passion trying to get me to go Gold. I'm not surprised, since we live in a monetary society and nothing is free except the gimmicks.
| |||
|
seems that any points you might earn get taken one way or another.
| |||
|
Before they start putting all the restrictions and rules on the IM function, why don't they FIX the damned thing first!!! I'm a gold member and cant answer IMs. And I doubt people see mine either.
| |||
23/7/2019 2h58 |
it ucks
| |||
23/7/2019 4h13 |
Never been a gold member , this im charge is ridiculous. Messages charged for even though not read . Crashes during chats and have to pay more to carry on. This site is getting to be a money grabbing one
| |||
|
New policy sucks. Also use together points for writing a story. Why is that gone?
| |||
23/7/2019 10h04 |
I use to have an passion and ALT membership and ALT SUCKS cause its not that many so you are forced here. For the standard member after you have filled out your profile and even confirmed ID its a race to meet all the other criteria to keep this thing free.
| |||
23/7/2019 12h11 |
passion has wanted to limit the bandwith used by std members for a long time. They've been making little cutbacks to the service allowed for std members for years.
| |||
|
same for the men xxxx
| |||
|
obviously there goal is to get more people to pay for there service, but as for me, I think membership fee is a bit too high. especially considering that the service is subpar. the apps on this site are very fickle and in a lot of cases inoperative, I was a paying member several years ago and opted out of continuing to pay due to lack of reliability. in reality they would make more, if they lowered prices and fixed the site to work properly
| |||
|
Personally I hate receiving IM chats from standard members who cant even see who I am or what I am looking for.I come online and before I have a chance to switch my IM to busy I get IM chats coming in.In my profile I have stated that I am not here to receive IM chats.I am not sitting here waiting for them ,I like messages sent the regular way so I can answer them when I feel like it not have to answer immediately. Usually IM chatters are just masturbating and want to get off.I am not looking for that.
| |||
24/7/2019 4h40 |
Standard member here. It is what it is. I will never provide them with my credit card info. Not worth the risk. I can still read blogs and stories on occasion.
| |||
24/7/2019 11h43 |
If i try to IM a female its rare they even reply back. I dont know if its me or IM dont work. Either way you lose points. Then if you try to contact them later it cost you 10 more points which sux.
| |||
|
I am afraid that it is the end of the world as we know it.. lol.. sucks a LOT though and not in a good way. What with the guv'ment shutting down backpack, craigslist classified etc.. this place was one of the few left
| |||
|
I am not a standard member, and this is straight up BS and they need to give back free IM's and email. This site is going to down hill each and every day!! It's all about the all mighty dollar for them. I am always trying to help out standard members who need points..I hope your staying cool hun and enjoying a peaceful Sunday.. However, that ONE person who emailed me.. I really regret not getting back with them
| |||
|
Well, they baited the line, now let’s see how many sign up for full membership, my experience here has been 0, most are trolls and not serious about meeting let alone chatting, unless Western union is involved
| |||
|
i do not like it. This tends to be as much if not more about dating then sex
| |||
|
do not like the format
| |||
|
Yes, I've noticed that I had to pay 10 points to respond to an incoming im earlier in the morning. It sucks for the rest of the standard members since they have another restriction for this site which is only going to drive a good majority of them away rather than making extra money. In my opinion this is just going to hurt everyone else and the site itself in the long run but what do I know?
| |||
|
VERY good point PCG. Since the IM changed happened I've been watching my searches, women only within AZ, and it looks like both gold and standard ones are less active then they seem to have been. With less people male/female, gold/not gold, those here will have less choices therefore less possibilities of interacting. Interacting, in various ways, is th only thing dating sites have to offer. Far as the OP's question goes, I have only looked once at IM since the change. I did not see where I could use points to contact someone. Is that actually still possible and, if so, how?
| |||

| |||
|
It's boring without free messages
| |||
|
When I can Im someone it works well enough fore. But, sometimes it's a waste of time cuz never got lucky on here yet. Besides, it's not always about sex. Company? yes
| |||
25/7/2019 6h47 |
It sucks !! They IM sometimes boots you off and you have to spend another ten points to get back in . This happened four times in a row to me yesterday. This site could be so much better !
| |||
26/7/2019 13h23 |
It's a pretty crap way to do business but granted the chat function has always been the least important future for them. Considering it's broken half time gold or standard
| |||
|
Even with the old 3 message limit you were lucky at best to even get though with a reply
| |||
26/7/2019 23h13 |
well I wouldn't mind paying if I knew it was worth it. But since I've only met one person, I'd say the likelihood of me spending my hard earned money is extremely small seeing as it isn't proving to be worth the expenditure.
| |||
|
Now if they had changed the system so it allowed standard members to reply freely to gold members who initiated contact on either IM or email it would have made things a lot better, the fact you have to pay to reply as well will in my opinion reduce the use of the site..
| |||
|
And now as a standard member it serms I cannot view or comment on advice lines?
| |||
27/7/2019 23h31 |
Thanks for the tips! I'm not sure why my pics are grayed and blurred, I didn't think my profile pic was that bad. I'm hesitant to put a face pic on the site due to my occupation.

I think it bullshit that u have to loss points when u chat
| |||
|
* disagree
| |||
28/7/2019 8h25 |
Wont pay.. Too expensive for an IM that sucks!
| |||
|
I suggest using an alternative message channel. I know a number of people are using k1k and also sky1pe in the chat rooms. Certainly on the latter you can set up multiple accounts if you would rather keep your passion life and your real life separate.
| |||
|
I've paid b4 and it the same thing, you might get to message more but IM STILL FREEZES UP!!! not paying for that .
| |||
|
I think this the 2nd time, IM stop giving free. It happened few years back, but they revert back to 3 free IM per day. Anyway is up to them, when they are giving free IM, there tends to hv a lot of members online ( mostly fake online ) , but it give a impression that there is alot of activities going on.... but now, no free IM, it will get even worst,
| |||
30/7/2019 5h15 |
Lose points for answering. cant even do 3 free ones/day anymore
| |||
|
My biggest complaint is you get charged for ten points when the other party doesnt reply back to your IM message
| |||
30/7/2019 22h02 |
time for a new web site to be created ! by someone else
| |||
|
This is the management decision, if the end result, doesn't see what they want to see, then they have to seriously look into it
| |||
|
I believe there are reasons,the management made this decision, well , let see their next move.
| |||
1/8/2019 12h19 |
The IM doesn't hardly work at the best of times, but its a downward slop for the site imo not letting 3 free IM's.
| |||
1/8/2019 12h26 |
I have had 3 guys try to get with me on im it cost me 10 points each time but when I answer them they don't receive my message won't answer any more on im
| |||
3/8/2019 1h03 |
It's a money grab scheme by passion.They did that so standard members would have to upgrade to gold or better
| |||
3/8/2019 15h08 |
This website has turned to shit
| |||
3/8/2019 15h10 |
I'm ok with the new I'm system
| |||
9/8/2019 1h19 |
I can count on one hand the times I have been IM'ed. I personaly don't play that game. Don't chat either. If I receive a message I simply reply with an email address. I've been responded to twice by 2 very nice gold member ladies. passion is a pay to play site. Hard site for a "standard." But!!! There are was to play around passion... read the TOS.
| |||

10 points is a tough pill!
