Pof Account Disappearing Act?

So you go to log in to your POF.com account with your username and password and the log in page just keeps reappearing as if you have entered the wrong log in credentials by you are SURE you got your POF username and password right? What happened is Plenty Of Fish system deleted your account and profile. WHY? - you ask.

Why Plenty Of Fish Deleted Your Account

Plenty Of Fish is the largest and most visited dating website in the world, and this includes free dating sites and ones that are not free too. Plenty Of Fish gets millions of visitors every single day! To help you understand why your account, and thousands others, gets deleted every single day you need to be aware of a few facts about POF:

  1. The original owner of POF, Marcus Frind, started POF in 2003. His intention was to make the website as fully automated as possible, meaning, Marcus wanted to be able to lay on the beaches instead of sitting at a computer all day.
  2. Dating sites are often the target of scammers because many people interested in dating are desperate and lonely people who will do just about anything for love. These scammers make fake profiles on Plenty Of Fish with the intent of tricking these lonely people out of as much money as they can.
  3. To keep his dating site as clean as possible, Marcus Frind has programming code on his website that looks for certain activities and actions that are typical of a spam or scam dating profile. You have done SOMETHING that tripped up that filter. Because of Marcus's desire to have his POF website be as automated as possible (so he does not have to work) whenever a POF profile trips up that spam filter it just deletes that persons account.

Things You Might Have Done To Trip The Pof.com Spam/scam Filter

Keep in mind that POF ALSO has filters in place to delete profiles of people who harass other members. If this is a possibility then you probably have your answer.

Assuming your profile was not deleted because you offended/insulted/harassed another member, here are certain activities and actions that trip up the POF spam filter. See if any of these sound familiar:

  • You are guilty of copy and paste messages. Plenty Of Fish account rules state that you can send up to 4 of the exact same messages every day. Why the number 4 was picked, who knows. Spammers and scammers also want to automate things. Their job is to find a suitable victim as quickly and efficiently as possible. That is why they send the same exact message to people. It is real fast and easy to press CTRL + V on your keyboard. This is why we designed dating software utilities, like POF Auto Message Sender, to send totally unique and varied messages that are never the exact same.
  • You emailed too many people too fast. From the spammers perspective, they want to contact as many people as possible to find the victim as quickly as possible. These spammers begin sending out tons of messages as soon as their account is created. It may sound really stupid, but if you start messaging a lot of people right after creating your account, it is probably going to be deleted. How many is too many? Only Marcus knows. To avoid this account disappearing act issue, don't do a heck of a lot on Plenty Of Fish the first week or two. Don't send out a ton of emails right away. Spend some time just navigating around the site and looking at profiles. This tells the POF 'system' you are a real human person looking to find love.
  • You created your account too fast. Remember the scammers and spammers want to get inside and start emailing people right away. These people just randomly and quickly click the questions option boxes when creating a profile/account. The irony here is that when a legit person, like you, gets their account deleted and they have no clue why, the natural reaction, out of frustration, is to create another account quickly which gets that account deleted.

These are the three biggest reasons Plenty Of Fish will make your account disappear.

Why Doesn't POF Look At My Profile Or Email Me First Before Deleting My Profile?

Two reasons POF is not more 'polite' with its members:

  1. It is free, meaning, Marcus does not get money when people join, he only makes money when people click ads OR upgrade to paid membership. Remember Maruc's main goal? No work? Beaches? By having spam/scam filter rules in place that automatically deletes POF accounts when any of these rules are violated automates things for Marcus and lets him stay at the beach without having to hire a bunch of employees.
  2. With all the fake and bogus accounts created at POF every day, POF would have to hire dozens of workers just for the task of monitoring for fake accounts and accounts scammers and spammers create.

How To Prevent Your POF Account From Disappearing In The Future

  1. Although the 50+ questions and option boxes are sort of a pain in the neck when creating your Plenty Of Fish account, you need to take your time when creating your profile. This does not mean you have to wait five minutes between option box clicks but don't race through that part. This indicates, to the Plenty Of Fish security system, you are a real person wanting to find love.
  2. Forget copy and paste messages. I know it can be real frustrating for guys. Most guys get very little response to first emails they send out to POF members unless they are really good looking. This is frustrating to the point where you quickly tire of spending much time at all with the first email. This is why POF Auto Message Sender is so popular. It sends out the first emails for you which acts as bait. You sit back and wait for the women to 'reply' to your first email so you know they are interested. You then know it is worth your while to spend more time with interacting with this person.
  3. Get familiar with the Plenty Of Fish rules.
