InterPals.net Questions & Answers

No one of these conditions were available to me because I didn't receive any advice concerning spamming or anything else like that and they année me only after 3 days signing up :(

As someone who has ised Ipals for over 7 years and is older than most posters here appear to be, I can say that it has been very useful to me. I have met many people over the years, some have become true friends and visited others will only ever be online, but áras close to me as people in the Real world. Yes there have been scammers, loads of them, even my user name came from a message from a scammer after I reported him, but that is what you do, report them! If they Really are scammers the site removes them. You have to remember this is a Free site and all the moderators are volunteers, so they do the best that they can. Also I would suggest that a lot of the people complaining here are a little inexperienced and naive., you can hardly blame the site for that. If you keep your wits about you and respond to people as you would in life, you can meet some great people that you would never meet in the real world and learn an awful lot. Also, dont complain if someone doesnt respond to "Hello" Its hardly an inspiring openong line is it? I find that the more you tell in your profile the better the response, the same for a message. How the hell do you answer Hello, especially if the progile is one line or word in each box, other than with "Hello" back and that is the end of the conversation. Its a 2 way street, you have to put in too, you cant just whinge that everybody is a weirdo. That would suggest that it is you that are out of your depth and would maybe happier on youtube or twitter. Also, as someone else has written You control who contacts you, by your settings. Of course I have no idea what goes on in the younger branches of the site, I stick firmly to my own age group, as I have nothing to say to younger ones, anymore than they have anything to interest me, but I felt I need to defend what for me has overall been a very good place to communicate.

If your account was suspended, you can't reactivate it. You need to sign up for a new one.

Usually what's happened is that the person who sent the message has either deleted their account (or, very occasionally, had their account suspended) in the time between them sending the message and you reading it. There's nothing you can do about it unless they create a new account and choose to message you again.

You are not alone... a bunch of incompetent mods are there who are highly biased. This is while women have been given free hand to misuse "Report" button. If you don't agree with them you get a ban/flag!

I think the forums might have been shut down, but I'm not entirely sure

Yeah, I agree. Most of the issues I've seen raised in reviews are either non-issues or they're ones caused by bad attitudes and a lack of common sense. As long as people don't go in with a chip on their shoulder and are willing to put effort into getting to know people, they'll find someone willing to talk to them.

9.% of those wearing a uniform in their profile pictures are scammers and fake profiles.

Please be more specific about the nature of your issue. There's any number of reasons why this could be the case.

Okay. That happens sometimes
