My variation on your suggestion is this -- REQUIRE every model to post a price of PM in their tip menu. -- OR -- if not then the MODEL cannot take PMs from any user who is NOT already a Fan Club member or has Ultimate Membership subscription privileges. The amount of guys who ask for PM is both (a) ridiculous - - many just want to bring down the model's performance with personal chat and no tokens... or to negotiate a reduction in their Private Show rates. And, (b) it makes it 10x harder as a knight to assist a model who does not have a PM rate
I agree with you - if you don't want to charge a person for PMs, perfectly fine. I was suggesting for those members who are usually entering the room and begin with "hey bby, PM me".... If you are comfortable with already 'known' people of your room they don't (necessarily) need to pay for the PM. I"m not suggesting everyone has to purchase it to experience it. I'm not suggesting any changes to the messaging system.... only really suggesting there is a preset entry for PM that a model could turn on for PM. Your method is to require purchasing a PM (even if the member is an Ultimate member) -- which is unusual in my experience (but completely acceptable). Your room clearly describes what you are willing to accept or not.
First of all - you are contradicting yourself a lot. Like, a lot a lot, lol.
Also, since when do Knights have anything to do with models private messages at all? What kind of assistance are you on about? If it's so difficult to type out `sorry, *model name* doesn't accept PM` or ``PM on tip menu` then write it down in notes and copy paste it if it's too much work to type out a short sentence.
Clearly the communication between model and Knight here is seriously lacking if you don't know what to do when someone asks for a PM. If the model accepts and writes PMs without a fee, again, what do you as a knight care? If she is bothered by these guys with bringing her down or trying to reduce prices, then she shouldn't just write a PM to anyone who asks - and again, that is totally on her. If 99% of the `PM me bb`do this, why is she still typing to them, and not charging for a PM? Not that it's any of your business, but maybe mention she could just SAY NO.
`` Your method is to require purchasing a PM (even if the member is an Ultimate member) -- which is unusual in my experience (but completely acceptable). ``
Your ultimate membership does
absolutely nothing for me: I don't get a % off it, it isn't beneficial to me in any way at all. All it allows me to do is to knight people, and 99% don't even deserve that anyway.
Every other perk there is, is for the user only.
Second, the only unwanted private messages I get constantly, as I mentioned before, are from ultimate members who are the only members that can message me first ( unless you are on my friend list but all of them know better than to message me first just because they can). Whoever else asks me to PM them, I just point out its on my menu or say no, thanks. Ultimate members who feel like they can do anything and everything because of some silly badge next to their name....They are 9/10 times time wasting messages with things that could be said in public chat, or full on trying to sext with me while I am in the middle of my show. Just because an ultimate member can message me first
doesn't mean they should, especially not when they want a free sexting session, and
ESPECIALLY not trying to sext me when I'm streaming! This is the biggest reason why I charge PMs to EVERYONE.
The only people who do not get charged are my Knights, and people who visit my room on the regular and contribute to it in either lots of tokens or quality chat, and they ALL know better than to bother me when I am doing a request or goal. They all also know sexting isn't free and it definitely will not happen when I'm streaming. Manners and no freeloading get you far with me. Surprise pics or a short vid is a good treat for people who can behave and respect my time.
My time and attention are not free just because of some membership you pay to the site that makes you feel so damn entitled to everything everyone else pays for.
I'm so not vibing with you man.
