Annoying things members do

[bsurs]

• breaking a tip wall to reply to something else -- unfortunate; no big deal if it happens early in the wall. Maybe there was just lag
• breaking a tip wall to applaud -- annoying
• breaking a tip wall to complain that it's breaking chat -- stupid, when there was no chatting going on (Bonus: posting it in an unreadable color)

"There's a naked woman on the screen and you guys are talking about (enter random non-sexual conversation topic here)?!"

God I hate that. When someone says that I go into SUPER boner-killing mode.

Idiot: "Omg there's a naked woman on the screen and you guys are talking about Harry Potter?"
Me: "Yes, I started it. By the way, guys, have I shared my theory that Aberforth Dumbledore was totally fucking goats? Because he was. He was definitely a goat-fucker. I mean he always smells like goats, and was prosecuted by the Wizengamot for 'using inappropriate charms on a goat.' Sure. Charms."

 

[IsabellaSnow]

The yellow wall thing is funny, the ones Shaun said are really annoying though fortunately don't seem to happen too often and is from someone who's clearly a dick, it depends on the yellow wall situation, honestly I don't really care much about the "yellow wall". I care about the tips. When people do one token yellow walls or even 5 token yellow walls they're actually kind of irritating. The whole room is totally disrupted, at first I'm excited, but it can get dull fairly quickly and all the attention is focused on one member, then you only end up with like 100-200 tokens, sometimes less, which is awesome, but really it didn't need all that attention. If people start a yellow wall and others join in then that's fun, you're focusing on lots of people and have different token amounts. If someone chats in those moments it doesn't really bother me, the room is moving so fast that it doesn't matter, and whatever they say gets lost pretty quickly. I don't really hold a policy of "no talking when people are tipping", but if someone is deliberately trying to get attention/disrupt the room without tipping then yeah, they're obviously an annoyance and ban worthy.

(To avoid having to put on and take off my reading glasses too often I have my chat very large! So it only takes three or four consecutive tips to fill my window with a yellow wall. Of course, I'm the only one who can see it.)

I'm sure it's been said before but why don't people read profiles instead of asking the same questions over and over again?

This is my theory, too! I've always wondered how JKR could get away with writing that.

I hate it when guys who have really slow internet/crap computers constantly moan about myfreecams cam quality.

I don't even have amazing internet or a new laptop, but I have gone through different laptops, internet connections and computers and it doesn't seem to make much difference. I can also stream on the broadcaster in Safari, go onto chrome and check out my room at the same time, whilst I play music and the stream I get, though slightly worse quality than the original cam really isn't that different, the lag is slight, but come on, it's being streamed from one side of the world to another and given to loads of people at the same time, a little lag isn't a big deal. Because I can check my cam in this way (though I only do it occasionally) I can tell when it's an mfc glitch or just members having crap internet. I can always tell when it's an issue with my laptop or internet because other things will slow down.

I've had many members complain about the cam quality on myfreecams at certain points, when at other times they moan about all the issues with their internet and how they're using an old computer with a crappy connection. Often members who say shit like they won't do privates and want skypes instead because of the cam quality, issues that wouldn't even be a big deal if they just invested in a computer that could handle myfreecams and a decent internet provider. It's really not that difficult.

Either members should take their own action into providing a better quality service or they should just shut the fuck up and accept what's given to them. I cannot make their internet work better. Myfreecams is a lot of programming and streaming to deal with, computers sometimes can't handle it, even I need to refresh my browser if checking out models. If people aren't willing to accept that they might need to take some responsibility for tech issues then they should quit moaning and treating it like it's my fault. I'm doing the best I can to provide good quality streaming.

I thought the goat bothering was admitted to in an interview or something. I always treated it as a fact.

"There's a naked woman on the screen and you guys are talking about (enter random non-sexual conversation topic here)?!"

I hate that one with a passion that is fiery, yo.

The implication is that

a) a naked lady is incapable of having a non-sexual conversation

and

b) being confronted with the image of a naked lady should somehow render menfolk incapable of talking about anything other than sex because oh my god I'm replying to Lily whose naked body I once saw on the internet and oh my god she has boobies and a vagina and mmmmmmmmmm show tits bb my 9 inch cock is so hard for you bb will you watch me cum for you on cam mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm :?

Yeah this is always annoying to me. 1 token walls take forever and don't usually mean shit to the model. Like making it rain nickels at a strip club.

I don't hang with a lot of models who are terribly fluent in English. I mostly see something like this posted when the model has difficulty following and/or no interest in the topic under discussion.

Yeah I will say there is a time and place that this complaint totally makes sense. It's my "shhh" finger time.

If the discusiion is following the models lead then for sure, that's dumb! But sometimes... they have a point.

[KristinaReapsMe]

Constantly ask how close I am during a show.

"Are you close bb?"
"Stop holding back bb"

>.< STOP RUINING MY CONCENTRATON! B FUCKING B! ARGH!

 

[Jessi]

When you're playing a "tip to [guess/truth or dare /etc]" and people just start blurting out answers.

 

[UncleThursday]

To be fair, a lot of what has already been said in this thread is why most members end up pissing me off too much when I actually bother to go into a room. It's why I normally only enter a room when I am going for a private. Otherwise I just watch through PM window, make jokes here and there that I don't expect immediate or any response to, etc.

In general, the majority of members on the site just piss me off too much to deal with trying to be in a room. I just say hi in PM, and if she gets back to me, I'll say something else and wait. I can have a bunch of PMs open, plus watching Amazon on my game consoles, so it's not like I'm hurting for attention or anything. Hell, when I'm writing something, it's more for just background noise or even just something moving on the screen besides my cursor and the words I am typing.

I hate it when guys who have really slow internet/crap computers constantly moan about myfreecams cam quality.

I don't think it's Internet/Computers. I can receive at least six HD chaturbate webcam perfectly (even when there is 6,000 connections in a room) but I've never correctly received the sound of any MFC models, it always has been broken (though I don't see the point to moan about that to models).

One of the models I like has a room that just stopped working for me one day, it just stutters so badly I cannot even tell what she is saying most of the time. It has to be working for other people or she would be able to make a living. It is not my connection either, because I can open up another MFC window and it will be fine. MFC has some problems that I do not understand in their servers.

 

[UncleThursday]

Private negatives:

I got nothin'.

MFC fucks up, show ends earlier than either side expected, both sides wonder who ended it early is a nice negative. It might not be as big an issue on SM and such, but on MFC, it is a huge possibility at any time as a problem for both members and models.

For any cam site using Flash (pretty much all of them) Flash crashes the browser on one side or the other (model or member), whichever side it crashed on no longer feels like continuing after restarting the browser.

Skype negatives:

Model risks having her ISP tracked.

I'm only focusing on this aspect, as the others I agree with. But, honestly, continually bringing this up is really a bunch of FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt)... mostly because you are giving far too much technical credence to the average internet user, let alone the average cam site member, than they would expectedly have. It takes extra programs and knowledge of how to use them properly to be able to effectively track someone's ISP from a Skype call. That takes time and effort that, frankly, some dude looking to get his rocks off isn't going to care to go through.

And, as was mentioned in a previous thread where tracing IP addresses came up; tracing an ISP is about as effective as looking for a needle in a haystack. Great! the ISP has a town location, now some potential stalker can find the model! Except for the fact that, you know, ISPs, especially larger ones like Comcast, Verizon, AT&T, Time Warner Cable, etc., all use hubs. The town that gets discovered is the town the hub is in. The hub for my ISP is in the next town over. That hub covers about 5-8 townships/towns. That's a lot of square mileage to cover, and my IP address when sites like to tell me where I am from tells me I am in the next town over... where the hub is. Guess what town I do not live in? Right, the one with the hub.

So, let's say you decided to trace my ISP through a Skype call to try and find me. OK, so you found out the town the hub is in. Good Job. Now, do I live in that town? Yes? Now you have to go door to door looking for me or hope you see me out and about and follow me home. No? So now you have to figure out which of the surrounding towns I do live in. Is it the one to the north? Maybe the one that surrounds the other town on three sides? Or maybe one of the two to the south that are right next to each other? Or is it the town to the east? Oh, right, there's another 2 towns to the north west and another south of the two towns that are fairly close... all served by the same hub.

Oh, and this is after you spent all the time and money to actually travel to the hub town.

Now, be honest; does your average person have the dedication to actually try and find someone? No. Most of us barely have the dedication to get out of bed each day to go to work, but have to do it to survive. Looking for some stranger on the intartubez that we found attractive is pretty low on the list of things to be dedicated to for your average person.

It's like trying to find someone thought a texting number. Good luck. There's so many services that give free numbers for practically anywhere in the US, you'll have more luck winning the lottery over finding some model through the number she gave you to text. As an example, SimplySara has a TextMe number she uses for when she sells/gives her texting number out. As a joke, I made a TextMe account and linked it to my Google Voice account so I can joke with her that she can use her fake number to text my fake number that links to my other fake number before finally reaching my real number. If I really felt like it, I could set up about a dozen fake phone numbers for free or really cheap that all eventually link back to my real number. Good luck finding me in Oregon or Idaho or Montana when I live on the East Coast of the US because you decided to try and find me with the area code listed on the number I gave you that eventually still does link to me.

Are there going to be fringe, not so sane people who might try? Sure. But you have just as much of a chance of meeting them when you step out your door as you do on the net. If anyone is the type of person constantly fearful of some nutter coming to do something to them, they better cut themselves off from society and move out into the wilderness, far from civilization. Only way to be safe.

Continuing to support the FUD out there, which in turn spreads it around and makes people believe it, doesn't help anyone but the people who want that FUD spread.

MFC also uses the lowest possible codecs and stream quality. Max resolution is 640x480 (for their *cough* HD setting *cough*), which is standard definition television resolution. Compare that to Streamate, where at least full 720p (1280x720 resolution) is supported, if not 1080p resolution. Sure, some cams CAN look good on MFC, but those same cams will look worlds better if done on SM or Skype or anything else that will support the actual resolutions of the cam being used.

MFC's cam quality IS bad, overall. There's no question about it. There's not much the models can do, though, when MFC, itself, won't upgrade its infrastructure. And they have little reason to, right now, since they are still making money hand over fist with the current cam quality. If business were to drop down and Leo found out the reason was that the members wanted better cam quality, then he'd consider upping the infrastructure of the streaming part of the site. Until then, though, he has no real reason to, business wise.

I can't imagine the MFC model fallout that would occur if MFC required girls to have the specs that SM requires for their higher quality streams. Some days when scrolling through girls' rooms on MFC I am pretty sure they are running their software or broadcaster from a potato. I feel like MFC is set up to accept a wider array of models who may or may not have very good computers to stream from.

Though I agree that myfreecams does have a lot of technical errors which happen pretty frequently, I'm talking about members who actually have shit computers/connections even when not on myfreecams. I used to have a regular who constantly complained about cam quality on myfreecams, wanting to do Skypes because of the better quality, yet when we went into Skype he would frequently have computer fuck ups and my cam quality would turn me into a blob or random squares. Sure the quality was sometimes a lot clearer according to him (even though my Skype seems to have decided to fuck up and zoom on me/make me go pixelated every now and then since I had to download the later version of Skype about a year ago), but he was still getting some pretty bad tech errors.

I've had this with many members. Guys moaning and ranting about mine and other girls cam quality on myfreecams then admitting later that they have a really old, shitty computer and a really slow connection. Fair enough wanting good quality, but I can't stand it when guys expect me and myfreecams to make everything perfect for them when they're not willing to put any legwork in themselves. There's only so much me or the website can do for people who have crappy computers and connection in the first place!

The skype isn't safe comments are always hilarious. Never understood how they could feel skype is less safe than the sites they work on, even after a few tried to explain it.

Guys with plenty, and I mean PLENTY of tokens who won't tip because the model "isn't doing enough".

Like, that's a low-blow and pretty pathetic.

How do you know how many tokens another member has? It does happen that models do nothing worth tipping for. It's really hard to figure out what you're talking about here.

Anyway, when in doubt, tip her yourself.

Just having tokens does not mean I have to give all of them to the model. I am not going to tip much of anything for a group countdown, because I do not like groups. I assume other members are like me, and tip more for things they enjoy.
