MemberI complete me details page, enter my details, age, sex (hey surely the lil girlie icon in the radar is a clue?), location, name, hobbies, comments……… the works.
Go online and the first msg sent?
Yup, ” a/s/l “.
Damn, if only I could rip the idiot thru the screen n introduce em to just what it is they are using n how it works. Often the details on the chat buddy reveal a new user or a user at a net-cafe, OK, I treat em with respect, but it sure gets me mad.Whats your pet hate?

KeymasterA/S/L ranks right up there (I too, have all that info in my Odigo profile).
The other thing that bugs me is when someone starts chatting in another language. Again, my profile says “English” (and no other languages). That’s actually a cool feature of Odigo, because you can find people who speak a certain language and filter out everyone else. Too bad more people don’t use it.

MemberYup, like yours, my profile shows english as the only spoken/understood language and I still get: “do you speak urdu?”, french, swahili whatever. How dumb, especially if the user ID shows the account over 3 months old.
I gotta ask myself, is it ignorance? or arrogance?.rustedtight

MemberI don’t have much of an appreciation for A/S/L either. I really don’t like when men quite younger than myself insist on being seen…I have kids their age for crap sake…*yack*. I do, however, like the nifty “ignore user” option
.
When you’re up to your nose, keep your mouth shut.

Membersnoopy is cool,
I can relate to that ‘snoopy’, go easy on the ignore button tho, when I was green on here I used it a lot n my list of ignored uses was massive. now I simply dont reply to idiots, n just send the persistant annoyers to the ignore list. Maybe a big list will slow down your odigo, just a thought.rustedtight.
