I have to agree with some of the posts here about the censorship practices Match.com engages in. I've been a subscriber on and off over the past year and have had mixed results. I won't re-subscribe until such time that Match revises their policies. First, in regards to emails: If you and the person you're contacting are BOTH subscribers (at least in the past), you can send an email address, phone numbers, home address, etc. without fear of it being censored. But as soon as you stop subscribing and, if a paying-subscriber sends you a message with their email address in it (via Match's email), Match substitutes the sending subscriber's real address with the talkmatch address. Trying to 'disguise' it may work but is not guaranteed. This is one of the main reasons I no longer subscribe because I'm pretty sure that emails I sent to women who may or may not have been subscribers (Match doesn't indicate their status) may have been censored. I know for a fact that a few women subscribers sent me their 'real' email address only to find out that it had been replaced with their talkmatch address. Needless to say, they were pissed when they found out. My opinion is that, if I'm paying for a service, I should be able to contact anyone on the site with whatever information I want and the service should not add, change or delete what I send - let the recipient block me if they want. If someone is 'crippled' on Match (i.e., unable to reply), THEN SPECIFY THEIR STATUS, and I'll decide if I want to waste my time contacting them in the first place. Second, regarding profiles: Whether a subscriber or not, when you submit it for approval, Match will review your profile, and indiscriminately remove words, sentences and sometimes random letters at their discretion and then notify you that it's approved and active. Sometimes I've gone back and re-submitted the profile multiple times with the same changes in it and it either comes back with MORE missing info or accepted as submitted! Guess it all depends on who's reviewing it and how they interpret what you've written. Only when I've actually submitted blatant obscenities (just to get their attention) have I received the notice that it violates their 'Terms of Use' and that I need to edit my profile. Duh! This is what should happen whenever a profile is in violation - don't just arbitrarily remove stuff and say it's okay.
