One easy way to cut down on your Cmail is to remove your profile pic. But that might not work right away, though. Even I got a ton of Cmail at first although I've never posted a pic. But at least I knew that the tons of mail I got had nothing to do with my appearance. You're so lovely that just seeing your pic will cause a lot of wankers to wank to it, as others have pointed out. And as I think lilsarbonne said, the youthful beauty of your pic combined with your profile name will tend to bring Vladimir Nobokov's classic novel to mind, promoting the wanking of all those would-be Humbert Humberts out there. And FYI: we all say "jerking off" or "jacking off" too. Those are old expressions. But I've never heard of just "Jack" being used as a derogatory term. "Jerk", or "jack-off" yes, of course but not just plain "Jack". The term "wanker" seems to be (at least I gather from its use here on CM) more specifically geared to describe someone who masturbates while using a computer. One more thing you can do to cut down your Cmail: hide your profile when you search. Then others won't see that you've perved their profile. You can even hide your profile just as a rule when you don't want any more bothersome emails (from people you've yet to converse with) right then... If you hide other people's profiles, those people can still see you. That will only prevent you from seeing them every time you search, which also is a very handy function I'm sure. Welcome to CM! Have FUN! Edited to add: don't forget to use your "mail controls" feature. That button is at the top right corner of your screen, when looking at your in or outboxes. Click on it to set your preferences so that mail from people who are of a gender, age or place that you'd rather not hear from is sent automatically to your bulk folder. Then you can just periodically go there and delete all that mail in one fell swoop. You could still read it first if you wanted to, but you'd know that everyone in that folder is outside of your search parameters. _____________________________
