Online status indicator

[shadowleft]

What might cause the green dot to light up, indicating a model is online when she actually is not? I sometimes will chat with models after they finish stream or on a day off. Occasionally I will see the green dot lit and send a message, several hours later or the next day she will write back saying "sorry I was not online and did not see your message until just now" Is this common, are there possible reasons this happens or is she actually online and just politely ignoring me?

I'd posted about this a few years ago in one of the Stripchat threads on here. Yeah, it's VERY annoying, because if you're a model who's online just to edit your Stripchat pofile...maybe upload some videos for sale, etc., it can be annoying getting PMs from guys when the model is not trying to chat right now, and just wants to be left alone to work on her profile. I used to feel the same way when I'd go onto the MyFreeCams model web broadcaster and change some things on there (without wanting to go live), and guys from my friends list could see that I'm online. Just because I'm online doesn't mean I want to be bothered with PMs.

A few years ago I'd asked the same thing...when SC models go online (but not actually wanted to stream), that message that we used to see on our end that says "The model will be online soon"...do YOU guys see that message too? I remember the person who answered my question (It was either one of the SC reps, or one of the knowledgeable SC members on here who answered) said that YES, members do see that "The model will be online soon" message even when they model is just editing her profile.

I'm sorry, but that's really stupid, and something that SC needs to change imo. The site should not assume that just because the model is online at her profile area...that she plans on going live soon. And it's getting members all excited for nothing.

Thanks for the reply. I agree, it would nice for models if they had the option to turn the online indicator off, unless they are open to receiveing pm and chatting. Have you ever had the site indicate you were online, when you were truly were not? There have been times that I will go to the site and leave a message for her knowing she is asleep and wont see it until she begins her stream the next day, when I am still sleeping. There is an 8 hour time difference between us. Sometimes the little green dot on her account is lit and she has told me that she has not been online since the last stream ended.
