I'll be honest, I hope not. I think it's one of the community destroyers on CB.
I wouldn't want to use that feature either. Something that a member (my moderator) dislikes might be something that doesn't bother me, and I can't have a member kicking/banning potential tippers all willy nilly just because
he has issues with them.
Exactly. It would destroy the personal touch...and make a room look like a strip club with bouncers all over, intimidating members. Much as we (members) probably have all wanted such power, it would hurt more than help. I can also imagine two members fighting with the model over who gets to be a moderator. lol "I've tipped more!" "No, I have!" "STFU!" "You first dickface!" lol
On MFC, I even find it kind of off-putting when models allow members to act as their "PR Agents" and answer questions for her.
Yeah I don't like that either.... sometimes I ask people to do it when some asshat clearly doesn't have sound, or if it's a question about my videos, like the types of files, that I have forgotten what the answer is. And sometimes regulars will answer if I've answered several times and the person clearly hasn't registered. I think that's ok, but I hate it when regulars start answering every question before I get the chance to do it. It's useful for members to keep track of things like the countdown or other things, I have a regular who I trust who often does things like this, or will post the 5/10 minute timer up when I ask him because I have no idea what it is, that is bloody useful, but I wouldn't want him or anyone else to be a "pa" of any sort, he's just a mate hanging out in my room who sometimes helps me with things when asked or when I clearly need a bit of extra help.
Even him and other members often get insulted and annoyed by certain things members do, which personally I wouldn't ban them for. Plus, I often get really arsey messages from dudes who've been banned, I just couldn't have someone there upping those bans that I can't even explain. I also think it'd be very easy for a member to get over excited and get a power trip and become a troll themselves. I've seen in the past models giving members special treatment and suddenly that member thinking they're somehow above other members and will get automatic special treatment from me. I could imagine these dudes would run wild if they could mod their models room, and would quite likely start acting up in other models rooms. As much as I trust several of my members, I still don't know them personally, and even if I did, it's very hard to really know a person and know how they're going to react in certain situations.
I'm just going to add what I said in the above paragraph to the "members behaving badly" situation.
Members who've met/helped out other models for various reason expecting they've suddenly been given the green light and ever model is going to want to meet them.
There's a dude who's not a regular in my room, though he clearly visits quite a few of the UK girls, he knows me through another UK girl who he's met in real life so he could take care of her dog. Very nice thing to do, and it's cool that she trusted him enough. I still have barely spoken to him, then another UK girl apparently got him to take care of her dog when she went away... he turns up in my room boasting about it, posting pictures of him and girls he's met, all in my public chat. He then tips me about 300 tokens, he'd been on my friendslist for a few months yet had never tipped me, but was there because of the mutual model friend. He starts sending me quite a few pm's, I'm in the public room, so am dancing and stuff, so answer a few messages I've read with smiley faces as I cannot fully respond, but to show I've read them.
He starts moaning in public chat of my lack of attention in pm. I explain that I do most of my pm chatting while I'm not on cam as when I'm on cam I like to focus in the public room. He takes this as that we're suddenly going to have off site interaction, he asks me how we're going to do the interaction, over the phone, Skype? And when I explained I meant just over Mfc while I'm not on cam, he acted really disappointed.... dude had only tipped me 300 tokens in total... But the way he was acting seemed like he expected I'd jump to meet him because he'd met two other cam models! I mean cool, good for him, but it didn't change that to me he's a vague acquaintance on a camsite. I never mentioned it to either of the girls, but I couldn't help but wonder if they knew that in meeting him he'd suddenly started acting like he had some sort of special place in the camworld where he was above the usual rules of camming, and was actually really rude and disruptive in my public chat.
Since then I don't think I've seen him back in my room, and he's definitely not tipped again, I guess maybe he was upset that I wasn't going to be having a load of phone chats with him.... Or he just doesn't like me much. Even so, he was bad enough that several members sent me pm's asking what was going on, that pretty much NEVER happens. I mean posting pictures of yourself and a model in another model's room?! Not only does no one care, but that is just SO not cool! I may be friends with the girl, but she's still a "competitor" and I'm trying to work!
