I did think this was funny though: "We will only intervene in extraordinary circumstances dealing with illegal or highly disruptive behavior, or something that blatantly violates the rules of this website listed above."
What a joke.
No harm, no foul. And ROFLMFAO about the "We will only intervene" quote. I think we've all come to the conclusion that " 'Don't get caught.' shall be the whole of the law."
So, apart from the above digression, my refinement to some of the previously mentioned improvement ideas is based on making money for the models with an expectation the more the models make (the more members spend), the more the site owner makes from the administrative percentage. In other words, I'd always be looking for ways for members to feel good about spending and giving models options to earn. At the same time, I'd have a duty to avoid implementing options that might seem useful but would ultimately sabotage overall model earnings. (Just call me Big Brother. Or should that be Big Daddy?)

Model-definable member selection to start a "closed" show - This approach uses two ideas:
1) Give models in-room tools to quickly sort and
filter members by criteria such as:
--a) model-entered amount of time, such as past 10 minutes, 30 minutes, hour, since 6:30 PM, etc.
--b) model-entered amount of:
----i) total token spend by member in the period (tips totaling 200 tkns or more, etc.)
----ii) all members with single tips over model-entered amount in the period (one tip of at least 100 tkns, etc.)
--c) model's friends list
--d) members model explicitly adds to the group (selected from the room list)
--e) model's defined "group" list (allow models to create persistent groups of users, such as "may raffle contestants"--a separate but complementary idea)
: The goal is to give models a list of members filtered/sort by tips (plus other model-initiated additions/subtractions to the list) in real time, not just a session total of earnings or force them to look at specific members one by one.
2) A "closed" show is a non-public show only viewable to members included by the model (as in the above filtered list), but does not charge a per-minute fee
--a) Provides a "legal" (according to site rules) option for sexually explicit shows for models not willing/able to generate revenue using group/private shows
3) Model can start the show at any time
--a) Allows the model to decide when to start versus being limited by a system-based timer
4) The show probably has a model-entered set time limit once it starts to avoid
--a) the model never returning to public and not being able to court new members
--b) members expecting to stay in a "closed" session all night for only one tip
The above is intended to provide a "legal" alternative to public shows for models who don't ever/always use MFC "group" shows but like to have countdown-based shows ("3000 til shower show", etc.). When the model is ready to start, she can quickly enter a few criteria and click the filter button to build a list of members (e.g. all members in the room having tipped at least a total of 100 tokens in the past 60 minutes). The filter can be rerun multiple times until the model gets an acceptable member list ("Hmm, regular Johnny tipped a while ago. Maybe I'll extend the filter to 70 minutes. *Click* Yep, there he is.") She then uses the list to start the closed show. Perhaps members then click on a "closed show" link (like the "group show" link--only available when activated by the model) and join the show.
Even as I type the above, a few ideas require consideration:
- Would this reduce total model earnings? For example, models who currently use MFC group shows earn every minute users are in a group show. It doesn't make sense for models to stop doing group shows (earning every minute) and start doing the described "closed" shows (only earn tips).
- Will this undercut "private" shows?
- Will this increase member dissatisfaction or provoke model/member disagreements?
- Is there an limit to the complexity and number of options at which models and members stop using the site because it is too confusing?
I *think* the above is just a method of providing market segmentation. It is analogous to how providing coupons for grocery shopping helps manufacturers make more revenue. Some people don't care about coupons and will always pay full price, but some people will always use coupons and would not have purchased the product if they could not use a coupon for a reduced price. Using coupons provides for more *total* units sold. Even if the profit margin is slightly reduced on the coupon-based purchases, it is still additional revenue that would have been missed without the coupon.
Finally, my apologies in advance if the supermarket/coupon comparison suggests an uncomfortable similarity to models being treated like "meat" by members.
