Capabilities of private messaging

[theaterdream]

Hey guys,

I have a question that's a curiosity, more than anything. I've only been on MFC for about eight months now, so there will still be things that creep up from time to time that I don't quite understand. Relative to the average model or member on MFC, I am still a noob.

I have seen something a few times, and need clarification. It concerns private messaging. I know if I want to interact with a model when she is logged in on cam, I can bring up a private message window, and chat with her. I can also turn on her cam in the same window, so, outside of not being able to see the general conversation within her room, I can see or do everything else as I would normally. If I don't want to make my presence known, I can tip as a ninja.

But what if she is not considered "logged in". When the green text of death comes up, "there is a problem with the model's stream, or she is not logged in", the model is not appearing on cam. Whatever it says, specifically, I cannot remember it verbatim. It comes in when the model first logs in, but has not entered the room. If she is not in her room, can she still do a cam to cam with somebody via the chat window? Could she, in essence, do a private without it showing she's on cam? I'm not insinuating that any kind of rules violation is happening. For all I know, it could be possible, and the member could be charged the same token rate as usual. But a few times, I've seen a member give a model a really big tip, and a few seconds later the model is off cam, and the member is no longer in the room. But both are still on. I don't think they're doing a Skype in this instance. So what is possibly going on?

Thanks for the clarification.

I don't think she could be giving a hidden pm window private with the webcam not broadcasting message showing. I think most likely possibility is a Skype

But the reason I am responding is "If I don't want to make my presence known, I can tip as a ninja."
You do know models can see when you are watching them through a pm window right? Or were you talking about making your presence known to the room?

Hey jjtp,

Firstly, thank you for responding. It's much appreciated.

In direct response to your question, yes, I was meaning to say that I could view and interact with the model sans the other members in her room knowing. I was 99.9% sure that the model could see me doing it, but that's not an issue as I would be interacting with her, anyway. The only method I know of watching one of the site's models without her knowledge is via one of the lounges. And that's as it should be.

Whatever these two individuals are doing is none of my concern. There are privacy settings for a reason. But as somebody who is fascinated by how the sites are written, and the capabilities that have been added for various model and member needs, I was wanting to know what was technically possible. I hate stumbling on on something down the road and feeling stupid because I didn't know better.

Logged on but no cam showing (No little camera icon, it will be on the left of the door icon)? ... Cam to cam is impossible with her not broadcasting, she could watch someone elses cam, but her own would not show to the member.
So in answer to your question, member or model can be on without showing camera feed, but there is no pvt show going on, there may be conversation though.

You can spend on a model any time you please, even when she isn't on.
