Regulars who are rude to new people, model not saying thank you for tips, and overbearing moderators (i.e. when someone gives the model a compliment, they say "Well, why don't you tip her, then?" right away, or post the "tip" emojis every 2 seconds.)
This this and more of this.
Some models need to get firmer with their mods. The mods purpose is to help and look after the model, not drive people away.
Too many models are scared and worried to be firm with them.
There is one room in particular I can think of that i go to: sometimes I tip, sometimes I do not - obviously it depends if I can afford to or not. Regardless of this fact, I am ALWAYS polite, kind, sincere and try make conversations - NONE of her mods make conversations so her room is literally just full of bot notifications. She speaks and types to me and we share a lot of laughs together. She instantly sends me a PM as soon as I go to her room because her *asshole mod* has silenced me a few times just for speaking and joking around with her (nothing rude, offensive or anything of the kind - we call each other "trouble" and play off that slightly).
I even joined her fan club and I apologized saying "unfortunately, this is all I can afford to help support you for now". She appreciated/appreciates it as a gesture and just the fact I am her fan, but the *asshole mod* calls me "just a fan" (like, it's something not relevant - yet surely models need fans, or I am missing something?). In a weird way I honestly think he is jealous of what me and her have (I am not saying we have anything, other than we laugh and talk a lot when I am there).
She has about 4 or 5 moderators, none of which do anything (they literally don't even try talk in free/public chat) except one of them; but then he does TOO much. He does exactly as you mentioned, Vanessa - someone (any colour) says a hello and gives a compliment, and he jumps on them saying "blahblahblah tip her" (he literally says stuff like "blahblah" to insult the member more). Then if they say anything else after he has said that and it doesn't include a tip, they get silenced!!!! She is a fantastic, kind and stunning lady BUT I honestly feel like he drives everyone away.
I know this guy is a good tipper for her (the asshole mod). So, he is also one of those guys that "I can tip, why can't you" - somehow not realizing that not everyone in life can be tipping 100s or thousands a day, every day and in fact 100 per week or month is all most can afford. That guy and similar really get under my skin
ANNNNDDDD breathe... lol
