Why are so many providers still advertising on the site, but when you look at their profile, they haven't even been on the site in months?
The Seach function includes a 'last online' option.
The site does not routinely delete people's profiles. It's common for people to dip in and out of any social media site, not just this one.
And some people will still respond if you message them because they have email alerts on.
@BlueIris I’m wondering why these threads started by Pros just as a means to advertise which is against the rules are still left up, still showing & advertising but getting even more attention because everyone wants to see why it’s locked. Why are the advertising threads not deleted or moved to the proper location. Cuddle Requests? Thanks!
@Carrie_Anne Good question. Perhaps those threads need to be reported and haven't been. I move threads that are out of place when I see them. I haven't seen any advertising posts by a pro that have been locked. Threads are locked sometimes because a FAQ has been asked by someone who didn't look at any of the sticky threads and has been pointed in the direction of where the information they want is located. It's a way of preventing repetitive threads when the subject is discussed at length elsewhere.
Am not seeing a connection between your question that that of the OP here. At the time I'm replying, he's just an enthusiast asking a question.
@BlueIris The “men who cuddle” is one and is advertising and still left up, continuing to advertise, not sure why.
@Carrie_Anne
No, it's not advertising. It's a man asking about whether it's worth it to become a male pro. He isn't a pro, so it's not considered advertising, although you're absolutely right, it's definitely self promotion. But there's no rule against it that I know of if one is an enthusiast.
It was locked after I pointed him to the proper, most current thread where he can discuss it. I left it there because it's a question that comes up a lot, and maybe someone else who was thinking about it will see that and won't make another thread on the same subject.
I also wanted to signal to the rest of the community that I am going to be shutting down repetitive question threads after pointing them to where they can discuss. I plan on leaving it up for a week or so then moving it out of the general forum if new posts don't push it down to page 2 by then.
Actually he is a Pro posting a photo, that’s why I noticed. In General and Professional Cuddling, but I know it’s tough to find clients especially for men so I’m sure that’s why it’s done. I only wish them great success here!
@Carrie_Anne Maybe he just got approved. I looked at his profile at 4 am, and I could swear there was no pro tag on it. Well, that changes things. Thank you for the heads up, and I'll make some adjustments.
I totally get it, but I hope you get enough sleep! Thanks for all you do!
Thank you, and thanks for being so helpful and understanding!
@BlueIris This is the thread that's still in the General board:
https://www.cuddlecomfort.com/forum/discussion/24959/men-that-cuddle-and-the-market-for-them
He was a Pro yesterday, that's why I flagged all three of his ads...he managed to post in every board except the one it would have been allowed in. 😆 Typically mods would merge all three of those threads to the correct board and then lock it. ♻️
Thanks for jumping on the whack-a-mole so fast...and get some sleep, woman! 😄
