What does Letter (Original Name for Messages) mean?
A Letter is the original name for a Message on JoinTheSwing — a consent-gated private introduction. The sender must send a Message request; the recipient accepts or declines before any conversation opens — the architectural opposite of unsolicited DMs.
Letters was the original name for Messages. A sender first submits a Message request; the recipient can accept, decline, or leave it unanswered before conversation content opens.
That checkpoint can block unsolicited message content, but it cannot prove a sender's intent or eliminate request-volume fatigue. A recipient can still block or report an account, and acceptance can be withdrawn by ending the conversation.
Available message formats and retention depend on the live product and published policies. A support record can help investigate a report, but it does not guarantee prevention, recovery, or a particular outcome.
