POF has strict filters and will ban you again each time you sign up. If a chick reported you before, she can report you again if she sees a new account. POF will ban you for sending out the same mass spam openers. If a chick doesn't like your message she can report you. If you use certain words POF doesn't allow they will ban you. POF can even ban you if a chick complains about the date. I'm on another site and 13 guys had their accounts banned for no reason. One guy had his account banned after a chick accused him of not being real. Next day he logged in his account was gone. Another guy got banned when a chick reported him for "leading her on" after she flaked on the initial date. POF mostly bans for the messages you send or if a chick reports you for any reason. It's bullsh1t because POF will always ban on what the chick reports giving no warnings.
^^^^I agree 100%. Though there are ways around all of that. As for POF it makes business sense as they want to keep their "status" as the worlds "largest" "dating" site and to get revenue from their sleazy advertisers they have no problem taking money from even after markus big claim of "cleaning the site up of bad men". They know men will come to where the women are and POF silently banks off their infamous reputation as a hookup site thinly disguised as a "dating" site knowing men will flock to it. The women are used as bait for men whereas men are easily replaceable subscriber boosting fodder.
POF can and will delete men at the drop of a hat with no explanation because they know the vast majority will re-sign up even multiple times. This boosts their subscriber base they can show their advertisers and get even more money as well as page clicks. So if tenacity signs up 7 times. Its 7 "subscribers" now multiply that by God knows how many people have to re-sign up and that boosts their fraudulent user base and makes them $$$.
I've heard of all you mentioned plus PAID UPGRADED members getting deleted for no reason after they upgraded with no response from customer service! And they get away with it a lot due to them being based in Canada and most users are in the U.S. and internet laws are crap.
You have to go "ghost" on their filters and to lay low a bit. You cannot just spam the exact same message off the bat just signing up or they will delete you. You have to wait a few days without doing anything and only then send a few at a clip changing a word or two every fifth message.
Before signing up if you've gotten deleted you need to unplug your router overnight for at least ten hours or sign up on your phone then finish your profile on your computer.
Do not add the same pictures you've previously used or if you must use an online picture cropping tool to make them a bit smaller or cut some portion of the surroundings out so the filters don't pick up the same pictures and delete you. Best to use new pictures altogether and no pictures that aren't you or don't show your face.
Also keep your pictures hidden for two days. In where you add the pictures you can hide them so you appear to have no pictures at first but your profile is set so some angry chick cant just report you for the hell of it because she recognizes you. After a few days then allow them to be seen.
The profile itself about me needs to be different or swap the paragraphs and change a few words or the filters will pick up the exact wording. Use a different headline too (nothing remotely sexually suggestive) and your interests make sure nothing is even remotely sexually suggestive and change the order of them.
Let alone any curse words any sexually suggestive words get picked up like: c0cktails. Pvssycat or anything that can be sexually suggestive.
No obvious shirtless bathroom selfies (even beach or gym may now be on the list) unless you are at the gym or beach and have a tank top on. So long as the chick gets an idea you're built its all good.
Do NOT report anyone. In the past I accidentally clicked report user when i went to send a message and a message popped up in red that if I (as a man no less) reported someone my account would be deleted! I backed out of it as it was a mistake but basically pof will delete you as a man for reporting one of their bait (women) and then you'll have to sign up again boosting their user base.
Also if you've possibly had encounters/ issues or even suspected you'd been reported previously by a chick and click her profile accidentally...back out. Click nothing else but the back button so they'll never know you viewed them. Better to back out on every viewed profile just in case one may be the one who reported you so they don't see you viewed them.
Send a few messages a day. Don't do overkill. Tweak each message after a few to not get picked up as spamming. Try to get numbers and or meets in three exchanges or less to avoid inadvertently sending a response with some sexually suggestive word their filters may pick up and get them offline A.S.A.P to avoid time wasters. And on occasion hide your pictures so its not as easy for some chick to just report you finding your profile based on pics.
Use a different birth date signing up and a completely new email address.
That's if you want to bother with pof after being deleted.
