POF has an AI filter that can automatically detect foul languages. If you are using the specified language in your profile, you might get banned from the POF services. To fix the issue, double-check your message simple “BedRoom” word will block the entire message. Remove the word or compose the message with normal words and send the messages again.
There is no set of definitive word lists that POF uses to ban accounts. But they will ban or restrict your messages if they see anything suspicious and related to trafficking, forced conversation, assaulting, and violent messages. Once you make the other person a friend on the website, then your messages will not be restricted. We recommend adding your significant other as a friend, then tr to send messages.
Spam Messages
If you send any messages to almost every user, Plenty of Fish may consider the message spam and might block your account from the backend. On the other hand, sending a unique message to your partner makes the relationship more beautiful. So try to send unique messages to connect with your partner. Apart from that, kindly check your profile and enter only the correct information because sometimes POF blocks the incorrect or incomplete profile. This is because the sender doesn’t contain accurate information to help the recipient know the other person better.
Check Internet Status
The most common issue while sending and receiving messages in the POF app is internet issues. Kindly check your cellular and wifi data services. Sometimes weak data speed may stop the message to be sent or received.
Also, check for any outage in the Plenty of Fish servers from the various websites or social media networks like Twitter, Facebook, etc. If any of the services of the POF app is not working, then there might be an issue in the app files. Clear the cache from your device’s settings or reinstall the app again may fix the problem. However, you can turn off the wifi, wait for 10 seconds, and turn it on again.

Is there a way to contact POF? I am extremely pardon me but I’m PISSED off. I get a response from someone I desire to communicate with. The feeling is mutual. I take my valued time to respond to her and it doesn’t show the messages that I’ve sent. This is NOT what I signed up for and as far as I’m concerned they have violated our contract. I wish I had access to find out how many of us are out there. I see CLASS ACTION law suit. Can you direct me to get in touch with them
