Harassing guys (most of them, though not all, Turkish)

Since I joined this website I've received annoying and even harassing messages from Turkish guys who seem to be frustrated with their sex life. I've included a warning in my profile against this kind of messages (which I've also received from other members from other countries, such as India, Nigeria and and other African countries, and also a few European countries). A few minutes ago I received a message from an angry Turkish guy that's already too much to bear.
This is what it says: "Why you r talk about all Turkish guys.Are u facist? Maybe some guy bored you but they arent all Turks !! Now you can add me your ignore list !"
The username of this guy is "nukedevil". It may seem rude to expose somebody publicly like this, but I'm just too fed up with this problem, and of course it's even more rude to send this kind of messages. If guys don't respect the warning in my profile, I'll start exposing them in the forums, quoting their messages and giving their usernames. I'm here to meet people around the world and enjoy the experience, not to be harassed or insulted.

Thanks for your suggestion. The funny thing about my pic is that it's a "fantasy" drawing of a being that doesn't exist, and of course it's not a photo. Despite that, I once got a message commenting on my "body structure". My body structure?? I've never posted a picture of myself in my profile, and one of the reasons is exactly to avoid unwanted contacts.
On the other hand, I think that changing my sex or age in my profile may be an obstacle to meeting people who are genuinely interested in friendship or cultural exchange, because I would be giving information that has nothing to do with me. I like to get people to get to know me, so that they can know if they are interested or not. I haven't been able to solve that dilemma.

naming and shaming is one way or another gets messy but luckly those people don't go into forums just people profiles

Thank you afro_bree, I hope that doing this will deter guys like these from doing this, or at least make other females aware of who whey are.

I know that exposing them publicly may not be the best response, but it's the only one that I have. They don't respect me, they harrass me and even insult me. Why should I be kind with them? I really hope they read the forums, they need to get the message! They should be kicked out of the site, because they bother a lot of people here. But nobody does anything. So I'm doing something myself!

I have the same problem! I ignored about 50 guys... I think they wont stop sending stupid messages, even If you have a warning in ur profile and write about it on forums, try to ignore them... Smile

femaleShiver Me Timbers | 7 February 2008 - 7:43am

No matter what you do they still send you stupid messages, I have a warning on mine saying I am not interested yet more often then not there is a stupid message in my Inbox. My policy is IGNORE SENDER and DELETE then no matter how hard the pathetic man tries to send a message it will be unsuccessful.

I've gotten a few *very* graphic messages from some guys despite having a warning in my profile. when u get those kind of messages report them. theres a thing below the message that says 'report message'. just click on it. I've gotten 2 or 3 guys deleted off the site doing that Smile Rarely get unwanted messages anymore..

maleslakker | 7 February 2008 - 9:12am

How about notifying the turkish government about the anti-Ataturk topics here? If we're lucky they'll shut mailfriends off from the turkish internet just like they did to Youtube. If that doesnt work, link your profiles to the anti-Ataturk video (even though it is quite crappy) and try again.

I just want to say dont mind but there are too many people like this.Unfortunalety you re not the only one who says these stuffs.I wish,these kind of events never happen again but i dont think so.I am just sorry coz my country is related with this stuffs but these people actually from poor regions of Turkey,not educated well and even dont know english, just crap things "hi baby,blabla sexy,nice...." Poor them!What a pity!

femaleouti | 7 February 2008 - 11:59am

This has been a problem on this website for ages and I don't think there is any solution to it. I mean, most of those guys just send a message once so ignore list doesn't really help. Any kind of messages in the profile are pretty useless as well because those guys don't read people's profiles (more than 90% of all PMs I get are straight from my "don't say this" list). Besides those mainly annoying "hey u r very sexy" messages I've also received some really really rude ones, like one guy wrote that he will rape me anally and kill me...

I know Turks tend to get angry if anyone mentions "horny Turkish guys" but it's just a fact that a huge majority of those messages come from Turkish guys. No, of course this doesn't mean all Turkish guys are like that. That's why, when we complain, we talk about the horny ones. If a Turk is insulted by this, he probably feels he belongs to that category. Laughing Luckily I also know nice and smart Turkish guys so I don't get too prejudiced.

the kurds living in turkey (just like negros living among european countries or the states) had to name their country-name "turkey" while using this web. besides, they really like to bother other people (turk etnicity and the rest) within the country borders. ..
now please, read what i just wrote here again and be sure its really much more annoying to see that someone says "i was harrassed by a turk" than to annoy !
many people and i are bothered by this situation for many times. what else? -should i slay that kind of people? we are already fighing against a nameless hatret to us Smile

you know; someone can start an anti-propaganda in the name of any random country here... now should you please victimizing mine!?!

I dont care what their nationality is, just report those people who think its cool to harras girls. Or guys cuz it clearly doesnt matter much.

Isn't blaming it all on the Kurds basically doing to them what you claim is being done to you?

you have no idea what an anti-capitalist also anti-kommunist, simply a nationalist savior means to a nation of old history...
some society especially in greek and armenian counties play that cursing atatürk compaign for about 80 years and they seem not to stop till turkey falls . good luck to them.
and, the government is too fucking poor to only ban a preferable web-site instead of forcing to stop that type of campaigns

the worst thing about this problem is that it can never be stopped.
that's why I'm not that often online at mailfriends website nowadays.

I can suggest you visiting interpals.net, there are less perverts there, however, there are still a few.

How about freedom of speech then? Why wouldnt people be allowed to "attack" your country... I do feel some sort of respect for you cuz your the only one thats actually defending Turks, though not in the most suitable manner. Where are now these pm-spammers when they even get their own topic!
