[quote="yummybrownfox"HiGirlsRHot said:Say a model is primarily doing gold shows, (which is pretty much the only models I visit on SM). but somebody wants to take her private either exclusive or regular... She is whisked away with little choice from what I understand. I maybe in mid sentence with another member (i.e regular of her room) suddenly I am at the foyer. I don't know if the private is going to last a minute or 15 minutes.
Models don't get the choice to accept or deny premium sessions (which is shitty, in my opinion). Models do get a choice for exclusives though.[/quote]
I'm not 100% sure that this is a big issue. If a model is only doing gold shows, she can load up a "holder" gold show (with a description like, "just taking a break right now") so nobody attempts exclusives/privates, which is a fairly common practice. Models always have the options to deny exclusives, and if she misses the notification, they are auto-denied. And if a model is taken to private, none of the members are kicked out of the room, and she can immediately leave back to public chat in a few seconds. Models can also ratchet up the price of privates so they are very unlikely to be chosen.
I agree that it is shitty privates are auto-accepted, but it's also probably not a big enough issue that anything will ever be done about it.
I'm also with Allison when it comes to members chatting. On Streamate, the focus is between model/member interaction, not member/member interaction, and our chatrooms are not supposed to be an open forum where members can meet and socialize amongst themselves. Obviously all models run their rooms differently, but I would actually be kind of upset if a top goal in my room was for members to chat with each other. If I'm in exclusive and there is no chance another member could interact with me, there is no need for my chatroom to be open.
As a last point, you may have noticed that all model streams are on a one or two second delay (you may notice the chat update with the model's text just before she starts typing, for example). If a model gets an invitation for exclusive, says goodbye to the room, and immediately accepts it, her feed may be cut off before she announces she's leaving, making it look like she just disappeared. So I think in a lot of situations it may look like the model has no control over where she's going, but she very likely does.
