Defending EHarmony? Odd
AUTHOR: Holly - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Friday, August 31, 2007
Eharmony commonly matches members with non-paying members who cannot repond or communicate...I suspect as a way to bait non-members into disclosing their financial information. Once they have your money, they claim no responsibily for providing the services they claim they provide.
As a warning....when they try to tell you it takes time--and they will-- don't give them more money. Nothing will change.

How is this a rip off?

Does e-harmony make any kind of guarantee that you will find your soulmate, get married, and live happily ever after?
Does it really make a difference if someone replies with "sorrey" (sic) or not respond at all? Seeing as how you are concerned with the amount of irrelevent email you receive, one would think that such "sorrey" emails would only annoy you.
Anyway ... I fail to see how this is a rip off. It appears to be simly a case of you not finding anyone you're compatible with on the site. That is life. Get over it and move on.

Linda, can you 'block' email addresses?
AUTHOR: Juliet - (U.S.A.)

Do you have an option available to block specific email addresses? Also, can you set your spam filter to identify their email address as spam, and do with it as you have your other spam dealt with?
In this case, you did sign up with them, so they know your email address is valid. But with other unwanted emails, if it is totally unsolicited by you, 'opting out' via their email is NOT a good idea. To get an unwanted email and use that business's 'opt out' method may actually be telling that business 'this is a valid email address', and your spam will increase even more.
Blocking specific addresses, and tightening your spam filters are the best methods I've found for eliminating unwanted email, even from businesses I may have initially contacted but no longer wish to hear from.
You mentioned how you didn't get responses to some of the matches to wrote to. This doesn't seem to me to be a requirement. The anonymous factor of the internet gives people an 'entitled' feel, if you will, to do things they may not otherwise do, i.e. not respond, respond rudely, etc.
Unless E-Harmony requires the person to respond to each & every mail, then it's foolish to think it's a conspiracy.
Good luck in your search~
