Dating has never been as modern and simple as it is now. There are a huge number of different dating sites around the world and they all offer a huge number of different features for those trying to find love. Plenty of fish is a worthwhile platform and one of the veterans of the industry. The platform offers standard features. The user can fill out a profile (photo, physical data, dating purpose, preferences, personality test) and then the system’s algorithms look for people to like. The app is completely free and positions itself as a social network for dating. This is not surprising, because sending and reading messages on Plenty of Fish is free (with a limit of 50 new introductions per day), unlike most other similar apps.
But what do you do if your Plenty of Fish account is deleted? Why would POF do that? Here is more about that.
How to know if a POF has deleted your account
The sudden disappearance of activity on your profile can be a sign that your account has been deleted. The simple explanation is that other users have no way to contact you if your account has been deleted. Unfortunately, there is no way to find out for yourself if POF has deleted your account. However, other users can check to see if your profile no longer exists.
If you want to know if Plenty of Fish deleted your account, you have to follow these steps:
- Ask your friend to create or log into his or her POF account.
- Navigate to the username search.
- Try to find your username.
If your profile appears in search results, it means the POF has hidden your profile. On the other hand, if your profile doesn’t appear, it means it has been deleted. You can also view the messages you have exchanged. Specifically, if your username or profile picture doesn’t appear in the messages, POF has decided to delete your account.
Reasons for POF account deletion
The only reason Plenty of Fish will delete your profile is if you violate the rules. POF strives to provide a friendly environment for its users, which can be endangered if you exhibit certain forms of behavior. Here are some reasons why POF will delete accounts:
- You have a spouse. Because POF is a site designed to find single people, it is not a place for married people. Therefore, if they find that you are married, your account will be deleted immediately.
- Disrespectful attitude towards other users. If you text rudely or send obscene photos to someone, you will definitely be blocked by that person. If you are blocked too often, your account will eventually be deleted. Furthermore, you must not discriminate based on gender, race, sexual orientation, disability, etc. The penalty for violating this rule is also removal of your profile.
- Posting inappropriate images. If you do decide to do so, other users will flag you, and POF uses its state-of-the-art content detection software. Consequently, your profile will be removed from the platform.
Being able to restore your old deleted account with all its settings would be very convenient. However, POF doesn’t currently provide this option. If your profile is deleted, the best thing you can do is to open a new one and start restoring it.
