So far this entire thread is misleading and somewhat toxic from what I can see. Maybe i'm reading this thread totally wrong but it comes off as ..for lack of a better word, wrong.
The OP and the replies are pretty much typed in "absolute opinions" without any room for situational variables.
For example: silent long time regulars get banned days they don't tip and chat? you wont tip for a model that you get along with and happy to see if shes quiet? what are you saying to these models banning you? Is your attitude (both model(s) and OP) the same as presented here? What else is the viewer suppose to do to find out if you are a personality fit, to incentivize him? Are you trying to hold a full on life story conversation while a cum show is taking place? etc. etc.
Not chatting without tips seems a little extreme and somewhat petulant. I fully understand the mental exhaustion and repetition of talking for 8+ hours putting on a smile and personality, I do that daily for work for over 10 years now. I am my own boss as well. In my line of work I have travel time, I cannot justify tripling or quadrupling a bill because it took me longer to arrive due to traffic, or if the client decided to tell me their 30 minute story about their grandchild. Sure I could add a few bucks here or there but if I made it a part of the contract, it wouldn't be well received which is less references because now my rep is "money hungry" in their mind, and not quality. I have actually tried this. For a TON of businesses, this is part of almost every job, you have to manage with some finesse.
I also understand your room, your rules. That is correct and I support that. Tip before engaging or get scorned, that doesn't make sense to me. In my day job I can collect before or after the work is performed, 99% of the time it's after, and after some discussion.
@Sophiestique I looked at your CB page, I don't see the rule about no tip no chat, and I DO see the rule "
2. If u have a request, please ask and then tip! ". and above you say
" i like a quiet room so i dont allow chat without a tip". Is anyone allowed to chat or just tip notes? This looks kinda confusing honestly, and after reading the reply you wrote I would be hesitant to even say hi in free chat. Truely.
@Natural_Pussy You said "
Even if you want only chat you should tip for it, it's our time being wasted" I'm totally on board for tipping. I do it very often and I get the sentiment of your reply, but if I was in your room, and wanted to "feel the room out" and have a few mins of chat, would I be silenced or told to tip or something about time wasted etc? Because if I was told any of that I would move on. But I might have tipped a few at least if I liked the conversation, even if I didn't dig the scene. the example you gave of a doctor, would you be okay if you were expected to pay (something) before he/she did the work? Let alone if the staff refused to speak. It just doesn't add up to me.
@QuinnLane you said: "Waaaah I'm a cheapskate who wants to take up model's time and energy for free and I get banned for it waahhhh" He never said he didn't tip or was trying to get attention. I don't see how you got this conclusion from what was stated, honestly. He was talking about the studio this and that, nothing about tips or models attention. He did say interact, and that can mean a lot of different things. Also your reply says a lot.
Aside from
@x_x_omega_x_x attitude being somewhat incredulous, he isn't wrong. The OP might come off as somewhat uncourteous or immature, but I could say the same about the replies as well.
Also omega, try to show a little respect to the models on the forum, even if they are or aren't, respect the forum and yourself with some courtesy. Let the models have their say and try to reply without trying to provoke or be douchey by posting pics/gifs. Even if the models are posting whatever, respect the forum and yourself.
We are guests here to contribute not 4chan looking to troll for fun. Keep it classy otherwise you end up the target because you are painting one on your name.
Yes its your (models) choices to run the business how you like and make up the rules you see fit, but I don't see the replies or the rules/opinions you have stated in any way beneficial to anyone. Viewer or Model. That makes me wonder how is this all working out for you, profitable or still gaining traction or work in progress, tons of regulars or slow room etc. (im not asking a question or trying to be suggestive its a thought only).
I've only seen a few front page models that are silent that make bank, if you are one of them im totally wrong in my thinking as it is working out obviously and would apologize. The OP makes some valid points, and the replies have
a few as well.
Just my thoughts on this thread so far, not aimed towards any responses after the humongous spongebob pic................dot dot dawt dhot
Bad representation of both sides and im hoping
@AmberCutie closes this thread to be honest.
