I'm going to assume it's because, like me, there is question over how to deal with them/reply to them, and they are popping up so frequently these days. So each one creates this uneasy environment where ACFers don't know what to say.I'm baffled as to why so many people get uppity about this.
No, I don't do that. That's what makes me different from a lot of models, I actually *want* people to see my capped content then come try to find my cam room and participate in my live shows.Have you ever DMCA'd videos of yourself from tube sites?
I do it on reddit frequently, because I assume even if I don't, someone else will come along and name her/link to her profile anyway. I think the reason people feel it's not just "pointing someone to a product" is because so many girls do try to hide (for lack of better terms at the moment) and don't really want the advertisement. And also for the possibility of evil intentions.I see the posts with capped shows as a "Hey, I like this product, I would like to see / purchase more of this product. Where can I find said product? Let's ask the forum about said product." and it makes sense to direct consumers to said product.
Is it harmful when I link to the correct camgirl if I see an unsourced picture / gif / video on Reddit or Tumblr? Because I see no difference between the scenarios.
I support this motion. I'm all for ACFers having some fun, but maybe not being so hard on newcomers would benefit the forum as a whole. If a post comes up that doesn't directly need or inspire a reply from you, then just let it be. Chances are either someone else will come along and reply, or the post will get ignored if it doesn't warrant any attention.Okay. I suggest no more teasing the noobs looking for someone. Personally I'll just ignore them. It's someone else's headache.
I already have to hand-approve posts by new members, it isn't as if these guys just signed up and started wailing away... I approved the posts to be displayed. And I will continue to do so unless the posts have harmful information in them.Maybe it would help to have a waiting period before being allowed to post for the first time.
I was not joking or trying to be funny. There have been cases of sex workers lives going terribly wrong because they were outed. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/03/20/duke-porn-star-belle-knox_n_4995159.html.I say i'm agree with teagan, but you continue to laugh at me !
You act like kids, no way to have adult discution...!
In terms of security for the model it is more risky, but the one asking about her didn't create the risk, always attack the one posting stolen content.
Guys who post those kind of threads should just go get a girlfriend and realize that their fantasies are not possible .In my opinion if you know who the model is you should attempt to contact them to find out if they would like their info given to the person asking. If you don't get a reply, the reply is that they don't want their info given out, of they are no longer camming/active in the cam world. Then you should not give out the info.
If you are able to contact them and they say it is okay then sure give out the info.
If a thread like this were to appear with one of my capped shows I would like the ability to say whether or not my info gets posted. Even on a case by case basis. I would like to choose this for myself. That is why I will not give out a models info on here.
(and yes their info could be something so small as just the cam site they work on or their cam name)
But I also know that there are some vindictive people in my past that if they were to find out I'm a cam girl would probably try to ruin my life. (they've already tried to do similar things in the past. And yes they would probably seem like the nicest people and like they don't mean any harm.)
You never know a models situation. You never know who is behind the screen name on here. Yes most people aren't creepy stalkers, but you can never tell which ones are and which ones aren't. The people from my past used to be my best friends. Turns out they were actually terrible people. You never know.
So yes even if it seems completely ridiculous you should always side with caution.

Edited cause I saw a typo and it bugged me....
Let's take that a step farther. If you know who the model is and can contact her, why not just tell her about the post and let her come here and give any information she feels comfortable giving out.In my opinion if you know who the model is you should attempt to contact them to find out if they would like their info given to the person asking. If you don't get a reply, the reply is that they don't want their info given out, of they are no longer camming/active in the cam world. Then you should not give out the info.

I'm admittedly old school. These requests bug me, and I'm in the camp of telling new posters looking to find a camgirl "we don't ID women here," and sending them on their way.
As was mentioned by @Osmia, this is very much a community, and @AmberCutie has provided a wonderful platform for camaraderie, sharing, information, discussion, and dissent.
Basic forum etiquette is that you contribute first. First of all, give something of yourself, your views, your knowledge, etc., and then you take. ACF is not an encyclopedia of camgirls; we are a community of varied people who have genuine interest in how models and members view the world of camming and beyond. Most of us here are very giving with our experiences, our thoughts and opinions, and our time.
For me, the people who join simply to post a capped picture or video and ask, "Who is this girl?" are missing the point that this is both a forum and a community. They don't seek to become a part of it or to contribute in any way. They are takers. It's irksome and tacky.
I realize stopping these posts is probably unrealistic. Obviously, there are all the aforementioned concerns about privacy, stalkers, and women being outed, but for me, it just comes down to basic decency. I don't see much decency in joining a forum that is clearly a community to post for the first time only to say, "Hey, give me what I want, so I can go fap to this chick I find hot."
There's a few problems I see with identifying models here:
1. Some models don't want to be identified. Whether it's to avoid stalkers, people in real life finding them, or whatever other reason they have, I don't think it's fair to give out information unless you know they're ok with it. I know that it will still happen elsewhere, but I think it's best if it's kept to a minimum.
2. The chance of one of the guys making threads like this actually becoming a tipping member is extremely low. There's very little benefit to giving them the model's name when they're probably just going to lurk or use the name to find more stolen content.
3. If we start giving names here, there will be a lot more posts asking to id models. I think most people, including me, just see these types of posts as spam and I really don't think they're beneficial to the forum in any way.
Overall, I think it's best we just tell people that we don't id models here and let request threads die.

Yeah its just creepyThat. Although someone with ill intentions could certainly become a regular before revealing a nasty side, forum members are much more willing to help out those we know. There have been a few members on this forum who have visited my room and tipped me, and if they ever posted a thread asking who a certain girl was, I wouldn't have as much of an issue telling them because they probably do genuinely want to visit her room to tip her. But for some random person? No.
As a side note, I find it really really strange for someone to go to a completely random forum full of strangers and ask about a random girl. The internet is so full of porn and camsites, do you really need to know who that exact person is? Out of the hundreds of thousands if not millions out there who put themselves out there on the internet, is there really not anyone else out there in the world of digital sex who can aid you in the same way as that mystery girl? If not, then I'm afraid that's stalkerish behaviour.

Yes, i'm going with it's posted on a tube site.@JerryBoBerry I assume you mean that it's a video posted on a tube site.
First, assuming everyone is a stalker is asinine. Most people aren't and I choose not to go through my life automatically concluding every one is before finding out.
Ugh, several people found out that I cam, but luckily they don't know my username or cam site. This is my worst fear.
It's going to happen.I personally do not want anyone recording my shows and posting them on a porn site.
