receiving your roommate matches
Thanks for submitting your profile. We'll review it soon.
IF your profile was acceptable and IF you told your email provider to inbox our emails, you'll receive another email entitled: from roomiematch.com: you're about to be matched :)
So please make sure you've got your email situation under control, then be on the lookout for that, it'll contain everything.
. . .
If your profile was NOT acceptable and/or if you miss your matches because they were mistakenly misfiled as spam because you failed to tell your email provider otherwise . . . we're afraid your time here was wasted.
Sorry, but you can't say we didn't warn you! (more below on email)
our review process
We are not 100% automated. Actual humans review all new profiles before inflicting them upon any current subscriber. Many get tossed.
Whose profiles get tossed in the trash?
- anyone raising our SCAM, SPAM, and/or SCUM red flags
- anyone sounding insincere, completely offbase, or just completely insane
- anyone refusing to provide requested information in their freetext
We don't rely on our subscribers as our only reviewers, waiting to see what trash they report AFTER wading through it themselves.
Humans take out the trash FOR you.
your personal info - we NEVER publish it on the site
This is much better for legitimate roommate searchers. It's not what all the roommate scammers, spammers, and scumbags out there would like us to do. But it is best for legitimate roommate searchers who also value their privacy.
Publishing your personal info and contact details on the site is a bad thing, at least, for those that understand the implications. Spammers and scammers could scoop up your details and do anything they wanted with them, as is the case many ways one could roommate search. We know many people enjoy having their personal info splatted all over the internet. If you do, that's your prerogative, and we're sure you'll find many ways to do just that. We just don't think it should be a requirement just to find a roommate. Sharing info with accepted subscribers via private email only vastly minimizes the probability that your personal details will end up in the hands of anyone other than another sincere roommate searcher.
This also means everything comes via email. Subscribers simply read their own email . . . that's all that's required.
If you NEVER receive your roommate matches:
FIRST: If you failed the review process, we deleted you on purpose.
SECOND: If you failed knowing how to use your email account, you effectively deleted . . . yourself?
Again, you do have to provide a sufficiently reliable email address with enough space that can consistently receive our email.
No one wants to be rude so please don't take this personally, but practically speaking, you do have to be email literate in order to find a roommate here. We send matches via email instead of forcing subscribers to return to the site repeatedly or download and install a separate software app or something else most aren't already using because that's most convenient for most people . . . just not the email illiterate.
You do have to know how to handle your email account.
If you never got any roommate matches, but think you can do better next time and want to try again, please feel free!
We STRONGLY RECOMMEND telling your email provider in advance to inbox all email from us to make sure you don't miss anything. Again, that just means telling your email provider to accept all email from: roomiematch@roomiematch.com
Your email provider may call that a variety of things, such as: Contacts, Safe Sender List, Custom Sender List, Allowed Sender List, Address Book, Friends List, Buddy List, Whitelisting, etc. You would add roomiematch@roomiematch.com to whatever that list is called.
Good luck!
