I have 4 brand new HD videos. The price would normally be 650 for all of them. I have a sale for the package for 500 tokens for August. I personally feel this is a steep discount (basically it's buy 3 vids get an entire one free.) I cropped some unimportant lines from pub chat below:
I had been verbally replying things like "well the sale is ALL month long, so you have plenty of time! Just come back when you can and they'll be waiting for you" and "and don't forget you can just buy SOME of the vids and not all of them, that'll be less than 500" the entire time.
Now I know "it's only 10 tokens" but it's the principle of the matter. When a store has a sale on something at a steep discount, you can either afford it at that rate, or you don't buy it... you don't go up to the register and ask for more of a discount. I feel like making exceptions (especially publicly where it sets a visible example to EVERYONE watching) is a slippery slope. Let one person get an extra 10 tokens off a deal, the next person wants 15 off, then 20 off... it's best to just stand your ground to start with.
I thought maybe he had missed the comment from Duo about the token donation, so I PM'd him:
So of course I 60-day banned, because if I wasn't worth the 490 tokens then, I won't ever be, and it was a dick move ultimately.
So, lessons learned here?
1. Giving people the benefit of the doubt is risky, best just to say NO and move on.
2. Comments made by models' regulars do sometimes affect her tokens
3. Members: donating tokens to a newcomer/stranger will probably end with disappointment.
4. Most members don't have "real life bills" (according to this dude) so the ones that do have real life bills should get a steeper discount than everyone else. :thumbleft:

06:33:26 PM bjoneski85: calm down super nerds, i just asked question
>> at which point I told bj that I thought I was being really respectful with my denial of the exception of the already great deal of a sale and which he'd just listen to me and not everyone else, and not call my friends names <<
06:33:50 PM ACDuoSher: I just gave you 10, bj
06:33:55 PM ACDuoSher: You better buy it now
06:34:04 PM bjoneski85: not talkin to you, the chatters (to me)
>> he leaves the room, ignoring the fact that Duo spotted him 10 tokens <<

I thought maybe he had missed the comment from Duo about the token donation, so I PM'd him:
PM with bj said:06:35:24 PM AmberCutie: one of my friends sent you 10 tokens so that you can get the package
06:35:28 PM AmberCutie: if you didn't notice
06:36:39 PM AmberCutie: i think you left before it happened
06:37:24 PM AmberCutie: are you typing to me? it keeps saying you are but i don't see anything
06:37:35 PM bjoneski85: its ok, dont like the way i was treated, youre gorgeous btw, im here for you not them, he can have them back if he wants
06:37:55 PM AmberCutie: i'd love to send you the vids if you tip like you said you wanted to
06:38:01 PM AmberCutie: and i know you understand, its the principle
06:38:54 PM AmberCutie: and like i said, i think i treated you and the situation respectfully
06:38:58 PM AmberCutie: while holding my ground
06:39:14 PM AmberCutie: you seem nice so i know you understand that.
06:40:30 PM bjoneski85: i do, ill see you another day, cant help that i have real life bills, youre gorgeous and wanted to spend my tokens on you
06:40:38 PM AmberCutie: sweetheart...
06:40:53 PM AmberCutie: you offered to tip for the vids, someone gave you the amount needed, and now you're not?
06:41:09 PM AmberCutie: big disappointment
06:41:26 PM bjoneski85: because of the principle
06:41:35 PM bjoneski85: so was getting bashed in your roo
06:41:40 PM bjoneski85: room
06:41:46 PM AmberCutie: you said you're her for ME
06:41:49 PM AmberCutie: i treated you respectfully
06:42:01 PM AmberCutie: you're not doing the right thing here ;(
06:42:28 PM bjoneski85: whatever you say
06:42:37 PM bjoneski85: if you want to ban me thats fine
06:42:42 PM AmberCutie: see, i don't want to
06:42:46 PM AmberCutie: but you're being super mean here
06:42:50 PM AmberCutie: after a friend of mine helped you out
06:42:53 PM AmberCutie: you're bailing
06:43:12 PM bjoneski85: how do i give the tokens back? i dont need his charity
06:43:30 PM AmberCutie: tip them to me, because he would have anyway
06:44:29 PM bjoneski85: are we done now?
06:44:50 PM AmberCutie: completely. sorry we wasted each others time. ishould have just said NO and let it go and i guess u should have too
06:44:51 PM AmberCutie: take care.
So of course I 60-day banned, because if I wasn't worth the 490 tokens then, I won't ever be, and it was a dick move ultimately.
So, lessons learned here?
