I know there is an option to select a certain distance, but is there an option to select specific countries? I have no problems talking to people from other countries, but I (and I'm sure many others) receive an overwhelming amount of messages from Nigeria and India particularly. Whilst there are some people I've spoken to in the forums from those regions and moved into private messages with few concerns, most of the unsolicited messages make me feel uncomfortable.

Are there filters like that in place? Or is it a case of make do with the messages I get or select a specific distance?

Yes Lost_in_reverie,
The only option is to limit the messages
you receive by distance in your filters here:

If you don't want any messages from a particular user
simply block them & if they send you inappropriate
or harassing emails, be sure to report them as well.

Thank you for the reply. I don't want to use the distance filter as a lot of the people I do talk to are from the US, which would be excluded if I did use a distance filter.

I do utilise the block/report buttons where appropriate but I obviously have to receive those messages first, which I dislike.

Thank you anyway, Journeyman. x

No problem, anytime!
That's what we're here for

Please, an option to block Nigeria and India as she said!! by specific country, not by user!
