Question for the girls: How big of a problem are guys writing unwanted sexual private messages??

Karyuu wrote: Dear female users, every once in a while we receive reports about guys writing pervert / sexual private messages to girls in a way that girls perceive as premature, pushy or harassing.

This is by the administration considered harassment, which is regarded as an offense and is punishable by minus points and ultimately a site ban.

(/rules-for-hey-ai See rules 2 & 3)

It seems that we hear from this more by third parties saying it happened to others, not by direct reports, so we are currently wondering whether there is a need to raise awareness and encourage direct reports from girls this happened to.


In addition, people also report guys who seem to use the site to find as many one-night stands as possible, sometimes pretending to be in search of a relationship but then disappearing after having had sex. (Which is currently not punishable by our site rules, however several people have been telling us it should be so we're giving this some consideration).
The poll itself is not about this, but for the people who experienced such guys and felt that encountering them on the site had a negative effect on their Hey-Ai experience, please comment and elaborate =)

This serves as a first overview for us to assess the extent of the problem. According to the result we'll thing about possible countermeasures.

Thanks everyone for participating in this poll, please only girls vote, guys are welcome to comment though^^

Pathetic.

This thread was made to try and encourage women to make reports. Your ridicule of this thread could put women off reporting incidents.
