Email limits are a specialized function of our web site for members who want to limit the numbers of emails they receive to their preference. An example of an email limit is the ability for members to only allow Men to contact them. This would limit all women from being able to send them a first contact email. Another example of an email limit is the ability for a member to limit new emails to a range around their zip code. This means a member can setup their Inbox to only allow new emails from members within 10 or 50 (any number form 5 - 250) miles of their zip code.

Email Limit Types:
You can limit first contact emails with the following parameters:

Members who have a photo or not
Members within a specific range of your zip code
Members by age, height, weight, gender
Members who are on your Hot Jock List or who you have privately book marked
Members who have been validated as real

Email limits only work on NEW emails sent to you. They do NOT limit members whom you have contacted, whom have contacted you before, or on members who contacted you before an email limit was put into place. Email limits only work on first contact emails.

How to Override an Email Limit
Email limits can also be overridden by donating members of the site. This means that if you place email limit on your account and you are not a supporter of the site, then a supporter can override your limit and still send you a first contact email. Basic supports can override non-supporters and Premium Supporters can override Basic and Non-Supporters but NOT other Premium Supporters.

Email limits should not be thought of as a way to block a member from totally sending you email. Instead they should be thought of as a filter to help reduce the amount of email you receive to what your preferences are. If you are not looking for someone outside your zip code by x miles, only looking for men, or have a preferred age, weight or height range you only want to receive emails from, then turn on the appropriate email limits. If you want to stop a member from sending you emails completely you must specifically block them. More information about Blocking Members is in the FAQ.

Can Someone See My Email Limits?
No. Email limits are private and the error message a member gets is that you are not accepting emails due to Email Limits on your account. If a member could see your email limits then they could just change their ad to meet the limit you currently have set, send you an email, and then change their ad back. This would make the Email Limits totally useless.

Why Does This Site Have Email Limits?
Many members have asked for ways to limit the number of emails they receive. Some members have asked us if it was possible for only members near them or member who have photos to send them first contact emails. Other memebers asked if their was a way that only real people could contact them and not fake ads. Email limits address all of these issues and more. Please understand that Email Limits are completely voluntary and are TURNED OFF BY DEFAULT ON ALL ACCOUNTS. You have to turn ON Email Limits in your Email Preferences for them to be active. Email limits are a unique function of this site and a good way to screen out members whom do not meet your preference(s).

Are there Going to be More Email Limits or Different Ones?
Yes, we are currently working on a variety of different email limits for our members to be able to use in the near future.

Can I Send Someone an Email Through the Webmaster if a Limit is in Place?
No. All requests of this type will be deleted without response.

How do I Contact a Premium Supporting Member if they have Limits On?
If you do not meet the Email Limits of a premium supporting memeber you cannot contact them through the Email System. You can send them an Instant Message when they log onto the site or add them to your Hot Jock list which may get their attention and then they would email you back thanking you. Once they have emailed you, the limits no longer apply and you can freely communicate with one another through the Email System.
