The beauty of the internet is that there is always a 'close' button.

Then they will get back to him. That then begs the question, "How long should people wait before it is considered as being ignored?"

Ignoring is part of the communication process and as with all communication it has two distinct phases, transmission and reception....or in the case of ignoring non-transmission and hopefully reception. In many cases ignoring is not the actual active ingredient, other factors affecting one party can be construed as ignoring by the other, when that is not the intention of anyone, merely the perception. If for instance a client messages several ladies and recieves no answer then he may believe he is being ignored, however in all the cases it could be other factors, for instance...lady 1 out of town, phone switched off, lady 2 busy with clients and hasn't checked messages, lady 3 doesn't use the pm or email service on the site, and lady 4 presumes that some other lady has already answered the distress call so gets on with other contacts. In none of the above has anyone set out to ignore the client, but for him it sure feels like it. So advice if wanted, do not attribute actions to others unless you are sure that is what they intended.
Depends entirely circumstance, if you know someone is busy and you message is not 'time sensitive' then you shouldn't expect a reply until they have time too. If there not then anything after 2/3 days is leaning towards to the ignoring side but that just me, I like to sort things out so I can put them to the back of my mind, I rarely text friends for that reason if a 5 minute call can sort it out.
Ps Sorry sam that it took me 20 minutes to reply
