Golden key access
|
|
This is a combination of the 48 hour retrieval policy and the single premium member policy. It allows the member to read or send mail which can be accessed immediately by the receiver. It is also applicable to contact details and videos of members and certain activities on this site To acquire a golden key, you must either upgrade your membership to a premium membership or the opposite member who you are contacting or whose contact details or video you wish to view must be a premium member.
|
Single premium member policy
|
|
The single premium member policy is our way of letting a lot of our users have free usage of this site. Basically a registered member can communicate freely with any premium member and vice versa with no restrictions, he/she can also view premium member phone numbers and videos without restrictions. What this means is that only one communicating member need pay for use of this service!
|
48 hours retrieval policy
|
|
The 48 hour retrieval policy applies only to communication between registered non premium members. The receiver of an internal message is notified immediately the mail is sent but he is not allowed to read the message until after 48 hours.If he replies the message, you will be notified immediately the message is sent but you will not be able to access the message until after the expiration of 48hrs. This is to ensure that premium members get the pick new tenants or properties but still allowing non premium members a chance to communicate with each other. Your best bet as a non premium member if time is an issue is to contact premium members first, as this policy does not apply to communication between premium members and registered members in either direction.
