Multiple Private Gallery requests

SLS has had a system in place for a very long time for people to give others access to their private pictures. LS etiquette really shouldn't be all that different than everyday etiquette. You'd not go into a bar for example and tell someone to strip naked for you. If you did, you'd very likely be shown the door, or the wrong end of someone's fist, or both.

At makes absolutely no sense for SLS to have this button in the first place. It has caused WAY more problems than it has solved. We've heard Wayne comment about how "gangbang" is considered a bad word because it conjures up these negative thoughts, yet having a "Hey, show me your naked pics" button is somehow acceptable?

It's one thing when people are pressing it accidentally, but when people are pressing it on purpose with no other communication , the ONLY reason I can see someone thinking it's OK is because that button exists, so it must be OK. It was a bad idea, and now it has proved itself to be a bad idea, and worse yet, people wasted time implementing this that could have been spent fixing any number of real problems.....(steps down from soapbox now) .

You have a point mayhem, but it does get frustrating having to constantly educate on basic lifestyle etiquette

Just the other day we had a new to the LS person (couple) request our Private pics with no other contact. I gave them the benefit of the doubt thinking they accidentally clicked the button, but the guy gets back and simple says, "No I wanted to see you two."

There is definitely a huge misconception that some have about what SLS is and how to best navigate it. Kind of clear that this person felt it was like Burger King and that he could have it his way.

I did take the time to explain that making connections and friends here isn't much different than making friends in person, and that you wouldn't go up to someone in person and say, "Let me see your junk" ;-)

Most would likely have ignored/blocked him, but it doesn't do anyone any good to let people continue to make that same mistake. I do wonder though how they get this crazy idea that it's OK to ask for this in the first place. The SLS Mobile App having a dedicated button for this doesn't help matters any.

Yet again, another case of common sense not being as common as it's name implies ;-)

We have had a few of these "Oops's" requests as far as I can tell, but 4 in the same day from the same couple was a lot and just seemed like a high likelihood of getting a lot more. If it were a couple we were interested in I would have reached out to find out what was going on, but it wasn't.

Some people use Block as a filter of sorts. We do not normally, but in this case it kind of made sense. They may well be nice people, but there just was no physical attraction in an obvious way.

It is a case of the App causing more issues than it solves. There are people that feel that if they cannot access a site via an App it's just not worth it for them, so I get why an SLS App exists.

The app and site are completely buggy like that. Sometimes I’ll be just browsing and a pop up opens asking if I want to friend request a couple?!? So it’s entirely possible that random private access requests are happening.

In this case, it turned out to be a couple that we felt weren't a good match anyway and just didn't feel like dealing with future fat fingered requests like this.

Sounds like an app user. It is absurdly easy to send pic requests on that.

Definitely would not block them unless we knew for certain.

The site is so utterly broken I wouldn't place blame on anyone for anything.

We’re starting to believe that some of these things we’d typically write off a profile for are SLS glitches. With the volume of issues currently it’s very possible that the system is sending out rogue messages. Maybe it’s all those messages that get eaten and vanish into the SLS abyss coming back to haunt us!

It might be a site issue specific to whatever SLS is currently doing. I got one (yesterday?) and when I questioned it - it was from someone who knows what I look like - was told it wasn't something he sent. I also briefly had over 4000 friend requests that day, so something was wonky.

I suspect that these were accidental, but I got 4 requests from a couple with no other contact. If it were just 1 or 2 I might have Messaged them, but after 4 in a day, I just blocked them. Seems as though this is yet another reason to not use the SLS app, because it is apparently way too easy to press this button.
