I sincerely do not understand why SLS has made it so easy to accidentally send the automated request. It should ask for a CONFIRMATION before sending and it SHOULD REQUIRE THE SENDER TO READ THE PROFILE TEXT AND TAKE TWENTY SECONDS TO WRITE A PERSONAL MESSAGE.
These automated requests are like the equivalent of a catcall from a construction yard. Who thought this was a good idea? I'm pretty confident it wasn't a woman.
Just because people on this site are into unconventional sexual exploration doesn't mean we don't have feelings, class, or want privacy and decency.
i doubt there is a single couple or single female who actually likes this feature. I've spoken to a few single men who have been MORTIFIED after accidentally sending a request, since the 'request' and 'allow mature images' buttons look almost identical and are placed identically. I haven't gotten a single polite message or date from anyone using the image request button. Know why? Because it is nearly exclusively used by people jerking off at strangers pics, not people who actually car wabout who you are or even about meeting you.
Remove the feature, fix the feature, I don't care. It's stupid, not useful, and only irritates every single person I've spoken to about it.
