If you look at the first page of the site (www.collarme.com) youwill notice a few things...first of all it says it is a BDSM Community not a dating site.
Mine also says "Free BDSM Personals and Chat for all of Canada"
and a personal is just that...a personal advertisement, something that states somethging about me and what I am looking for, whether I am looking for a sexual partner, or a pen pal doesn't really change anything. The profile should stay if the person who posted it wants it to.
I agree that it is a little annoying to read a profile that doesn't mention being involved and then to be told that the person is involved when you contact them, but that's a basic honesty/common courtesy issue.
I started reading this thread and asked myself "Hmmmm how many pages will this go before he gets back to the email filters & pro dommes....I guessed the bottom of page 2...and you beat me!!!)
This whole idea of whining and bitching about the site not being tailored exactly to your specifications is becomming tiresome...I don't give a good god damn if you have to spend 1 second or 1 week opening a profile, or looking at profiles you don't want to see...there is a button on every profile that says "Block User"...if you don't like a profile then use that button, its called doing it for yourself.....obviously a concept you have a hard time grasping in anything but a sexual context.
What makes you think your time is so damned precious anyway....turn off the computer and go outside...meet flesh and blood people...true you can't pre-filtre them to match what you are seeking, but guess what...that's the fun of life
Why don't you start your own site...you can put in whatever filters and so on you choose.
Do you think for a moment its not annoying for me too?
i brought this particular topic up mainly as a result of reading the op and on behalf of others who have expressed a desire for it in other threads who were met by smart assed remarks and i feel it is a legitimate request.
Others however did not understand they would be met with such childish responses and had no idea that to get a point across in here one had to draw tiny pictures so the people on here could understand and they left out of frustration.
Well i decided to make it perfectly clear by drawing tiny pictures for those who either cannot read or have impulsive knee jerk reactions and are prone to the tangents that always ensue often times good suggestions on here.
Now by the time one explains it 1000 different ways trying to respond to everyone who took the subject out on a tangent somewhere i agree it can get pretty boring and even annoying to hear the same argument levelled from 20 differeent angles always coming to the same point and of course the people who are getting cranked are the same people who could give a shit or are throwing the stones at the people who bring these items up in the first place, yet they come on here with their own concerns, complaints, and whining that they feel are valid while negating the same of others....and that is what drags these things into infinity.
Hey thats ok, you can shift ALL the blame for "everything" about this on to me just because i brought it up and defended my postiion if it makes you happy.
i have offered an exactly perfect solution to keep everyone happy that is perfectly on topic with the OP that was intended to help eliminate not only this but other similar arguments from constantly haunting this forum:

Many of us have had profiles ever since we joined, so we don't feel the need to remove them when W/we connect--we update it but continue to use it to keep a presence--I for one want people to know there is a real person posting and My blog has become important to Me as an outlet--
but what is the consensus? If someone is involved/collared--should the profile be removed to allow for "cleaner searches by others"?
Minor in life's scheme of things--but inquiring minds want to know---
NO DO NOT REMOVE YOUR PROFILE!!!!
NO DO NOT REMOVE PROS EITHER!!!!
INSTEAD check:
_ tribute
checking this shows only those seeking a tribute (the pros) {otherwise no pros}
-----------------------------------------------------
_ inactive
checking this shows only those who are only here for forums, not actively seeking etc. which includes those happily collared! {otherwise active only}
-----------------------------------------------------
do this, and display the mail controls and you would have one kick azz sweet site.
and i agree with the OP "minor in lifes scheme of things" but add not minor in the debate of things!
i made suggestions that are the best compromise to keep EVERYONE happy! and instead they hit me with:

I have a very easy solution, Sybil.
Ask for your money back and go sign up for another site that is more to your liking.
Have a nice day.
who the hell is sybil?
and the more atypical approach, from another thread is:
quote:
Whine, whine, whine.... snivel, bitch, moan, groan.
Add it ALL up and it makes for a wonderfully mature discussion. Yeh suffice to say i get annoyed too.
This discussion is what we ALL make it.
Unlike searching for profiles where the only way to turn it off is go somewhere else, you have the luxury of just turning it off.
you can ignore whole topics or any individual on here. you can opt not to respond. There are many ways to avoid getting annoyed on the forums.
Finally it is the people like myself and others who help in the developement of things rather than its stagnation and as peoples needs change we help keep the developers abreast of those changing needs.
If it were left to some on here we would not even have the internet and would still be sending messages by pony express because their insight only extends to what works well for them and therefore it should be perfectly fine for everyone else too.
