Quite simple really...

Try personalizing your messages to a select few people you really want to know better. Don't use a copy/paste generic message to the masses ... that's when the spam filter sets in.

Status: offline 		Whether you're cut and pasting or not, you are obviously sending out far too many messages in one day in order to set off the spam filter. The filters are there for a reason, to prevent scammers that like to mass email folks to try and get to as many people as possible. Why not narrow your search down more and only email folks that really interest you and take it from there. Finding someone isn't a race. Take your time.

Maybe they just don't want their users harassed by carpetbombing fuckwits.

Even if you don't cut and paste, if you're sending messages to people who report it as spam, it will trigger the filter. A lot of women on this site do that to people who ignore what their profile says they are looking for.

So, why did you burn through three profiles in three days?

The other two probably got locked by the spam filter as well.

This thread has been locked to give certain posters time to read their mail from me.

OP, I'm just going to save the time and post this link for you. It was started by another screen name who also wanting to say that the spam filter "wasn't working" because it was preventing him from sending a bunch of mail that people didn't want.

One of your profile's has been here for over 7 years and you have posted to the forums previously, I suspect having been here that long you were aware of the spam filter. So creating additional profiles was to override the spam filter. Having read your profiles all that was there is complaining about the spam filter. I too would have chalked your mail up to spam more then likely as your profile is just plain whiny and complaining....
