I noticed as a VPN grey.. we're not allowed to talk.. should be easy-ish to give us the ability to block from being viewed by VPN-users logged in and without accounts(anons)... a ton of stalking

Its a safe bet that they are never going to do that, that would give people a way to test and see which vpns/proxies are undetected by the system cb uses.

Well, i mean, at the least, maybe, a way to e-mail support... if one is being stalked / to disable VPN-Viewers... that would be cool... also... your point is mute... bc... they already give a way to "test" , VPN greys are not allowed to chat... so... there goes that...
The probable reason "they are never going to do that" is it restricts / may "turn off" , potential Token-Buyers... but it should still be a request-able option via e-mail

Um. Counterpoint, there are states requiring VIEWERS to do an ID check and many will use a VPN to get around having to show a porn site their ID just to jerk off.

Always lurking in the shadows, knew it was a matter of time before you'd comment. Your "Counterpoint" is irrelevant to my "isolated incident(s)" post. I DON'T CARE, about people evading verification, to search for "ME". The whole point of MY POST is TO STOP STALKERS from evading GEO-BLOCK and STILL WATCHING ME.
ALSO, if there is "a switch" on our "settings tab", we can use our discretion. And you can have as many evaders as your heart fancies.

ALSO, ALSO ... they could incorporate the feature someone said STREAMATE has ... viewable only to people with usernames ... that would be awesome, too...

Put her on ignore if you don't like seeing her posts.
But her point was a very valid one. A site is highly unlikely to add a function to block people using VPNs since a large percentage of viewers have reason to use VPNs. I guarantee you the cam sites themselves do not want to require ID for viewers in anti-porn states, and they're not going to want these people to run into limited functionality (limited rooms) on the site.
Just because that very valid counterpoint came from someone you have a preconceived opinion about does not make it unworthy of being shared in this thread. So yeah, I do agree with the suggestion of getting over yourself.

A friend recently asked me to write an app that would only allow registered users to view their stream. This can indeed be facilitated using the limitcam. I will post a link to the app here when it is completed.

If they gave Models of longer tenure, I would venture 2 (maybe 3?) years and up, the ability to only be seen by people with usernames, both grey and paid. I think that would be doable and a cool thing. They would still have alot of Models being shown to anons. and would also give longer-tenured Models a break from anon-mania. Also, a concession could be a 2-hour time limit, per every 24 hours, to not appear to anons. / just appear to greys and paid members. Just my opinion. The anon-overload is nothing new. Several have voiced on it.

My post, and the original counterpoint by @Vixxen81 was about VPN users being blocked.

My post wasn't about all VPN-using-members, it was about VPN-anons. (Logged out users, running VPN.)
My personal-story being: I've been heckled, made fun of, on and on, by the same guy for 3 years ... continues to e-mail me saying he can see me and this and that ... hurling insults and all the rest and it's creepy and annoying to not be able to control that

I see that, so when it comes down to it VPN users are not an issue.
Just logged out users/guests.
So VPN probably shouldn't have been part of the conversation to begin with.

I really wish they would do what Streamate did, there's a switch to only be seen by Members; free & paid.

Thank you for confirming that VPN users being blocked was not the proper solution to the quandary.

Well, if they could isolate the VPN-restriction to guests / anons. , would be awesome. But, runner-up and possibly the better solution, would be the aforementioned. I'd be over-the-moon for either.
Basically, the guy that's been stalking me, keeps changing IPs. I'll test it and block the World besides USA and he's gone for a while, then he discovers I don't have USA IP's blocked and back come the weird E-mails. That's why, I guess, I was hung up on the VPN-Part. Hope that makes sense.
Also, making derogatory usernames because he knows I have greys muted, making false reports on different IPs. I attracted the worst Troll in the history of Trolls, that's just mentioning some basic things. The dude is a Monster.

These are the risks you take on this job, was it not clearly explained? Did you research the risks? It's WHEN not IF. You WILL BE seen if you are good at it. Deal with it or quit, idk?

smoker! I can't believe you haven't done a limitcam app yet
And as has been noted here and elsewhere, once limitcam starts the model is removed from the main pages and placed on the Private Show page, so there is a cost.
Respect, smoker

Hi. Blocking regions of the world because of 1 user will end up hurting your income. Just consider all of those paying customers who can't find you now! I would suggest handling this troll by ignoring them secretly. CB allows apps/bots to hide chat before it is sent to the server. You could hide all chat from this user without informing them. Then that user will stay on 1 name, trolling to their hearts content, with none the wiser. You could even go 1 step further and 'spy' on their hidden chat, occasionally responding in an effort to keep them on the username you have already blocked. With an intelligent dark-list, you could automatically hide this user based on things they say instead of names they are using.

cb.onStart(function(user) { cb.limitCam_start("Only Registered Users Can View This Cam!"); }) // hides the cam on bot start
cb.onEnter(function(user) { cb.limitCam_addUsers([user.user]); }) // adds user to 'allow list' on enter (only users with names are added, skipping anonymous)
I had a similiar idea a few years ago and wrote an bot that can hide the cam and lock the chat. Users are granted access to either/both based on status (color, fan club, etc), name, password, or tip. Tips allow users to purchase access by the minute or for the length of the transmission. Limit cam stuff is fun to work with. Have fun!

I was playing with something the other day, its untested but in theory it should work. If you have adblocker plus go to options, advanced and add the following to my filter list:
chaturbate.com##div[class*="defaultUser"]
it should make it so greys are invisible to you
edit: yes even in the model list

Question... i tried "limitcam" type apps... and all it does is moves my stream to the "private shows" or "community shows" tab... hence... 99% of people won't see me... is there currently a way to only appear to paid users and not anons and greys or? Where you are still featured and seen on the home page to only paid users and/ or greys? If you could drum up an app for me, in that vain, i wouldn't mind paying decently... thanks... please reply..

Thanks, for the effort. If you mean making the greys/ anons "disappear" with html / elements tweaking, i know how to do that, but, that won't solve the problem of him seeing me live. I actually have a chrome add-on... that can hide basically any element on the screen that bugs me... it's awesome... but, he'll still be able to stalk me and see what I'm doing..

I want him to not see that I am online, not be able to stalk me / watch me, whenever he wants. Is there currently a way to do that? LimitCam just moves the stream to the "private shows" tab or similar... it just takes you off the home page... I'd pay if you could build me something where I am still appearing on the site to all, but, anons... seems like the website architecture, won't allow for this? Or is there a way?
