    Default New Forum Ideas

    Due to the recent feelings of insecurity all around, it does seem like a good idea to have a forum for ALL kinds of sex work, but with most of it private, and only very very basic stuff public to draw in members.

    What I'm proposing is a non-affiliated site, ie if I made it, I already has some names picked out (www.immodestmou.se which I think is adorable, can't you just see a sexy mouse logo? or www.cumfor.us or something clever like that) and it would NOT be a platform for me or any of the mods or any one line of work, but be a place for all of us to relax without feeling exposed or threatened.

    I love StripperWeb as much as the next girl, but it's true it is awfully open & lacks proper moderation a lot of the time, & that's a problem that won't go away just by sitting back & bitching about it.

    So hey, anybody interested? I'm thinking voted-on moderators that can be changed at any time, NO VERIFICATION required, just active status ie:posting once a month, and of course lots of good old fashioned moderation, but with an emphasis on fairness (we all know it can get messy quickly, but it would need to operate on "the benefit of the doubt" while still making sure everyone would feel safe).

    And to be clear - it would not be just camgirls - it would be stripping, camming, PSO, escorting, sugar baby, basically anything that could be considered adultwork/sexwork/etc.

    Thoughts? Ideas? Opinions? Have at it!

    So if you want to be with me
    With these things there’s no telling
    We just have to wait and see
    But I’d rather be working for a paycheck
    Than waiting to win the lottery
    Besides maybe this time is different
    I mean I really think you like me

    Thought I would post and share the love, even if a private cam/adult model forum isn't something I'd be part of (well, shouldn't be part of for it to be ladies only, lol).

    Public threads, private threads, and maybe some related or shared threads such as sugar baby, 3rd party billing, taxes, etc. There will have to room for overlap, but you can't ask anyone to be "verified" for each area of discusion. Short of a listing for known/respected posters, some kind of Troll Patrol will be required.

    I love coming here and talking to everyone but some of the security-related (or, lack of security) stories have me a bit on edge.

    ^ Not everyone wants to give out their information though. Most of us like the anonymity of this forum. While I'd be fine with handing over my cam / real info to dixie because I actually talk to her outside of SW, most wouldn't want to share their personal information.

    It wouldn't be all private!! check my post again - parts of it would be labeled as all private so girls feel freer to be honest, but yeah no verification, that would be INSANE/stupid/NOT SECURE!

    basically I'm saying I totally agree

    ok so again since nobody seems to be reading my original post:

    verification would NOT BE REQUIRED - why would you trust me or anyone else with your personal info???? seriously? no way in hell.

    what I'm suggesting a private forum ie NOT GOOGLE SEARCHABLE except for a couple of threads

    rather than verification, a strong moderation by myself/voted on mods/whatever - if we want this kind of place to exist, we have to make it for ourselves!! duh!!!

    whether that means we get some sort of i-pblocking software or whatever, it can be done and it can be done well, but I'm not going to go to all that trouble if nobody's interested.

    so if you're worried that it'll be just like other attempts, know this - I won't do it unless I do it right - if we want an ip-blocker, we'll have it; if we want 24/7 moderation, we'll have it; whatever it is, we'll figure it out so that all security issues are addressed as amicably and efficiently as possible.

    CGU is by no means secure AT ALL - in fact I'd say it's worse that AC, which is just a big fat love letter to Amber.

    I don't want your personal info unless you want me to have it; I just want everybody to stop complaining and do something about the issues, or just deal with it!

    stop linking to yourself in your sig! stop using your real photo! or stop complaining!!!

    /end rant (it's my thread so it's ok for me to, right?? I can't troll my own thread )

    So if you want to be with me
    With these things there’s no telling
    We just have to wait and see
    But I’d rather be working for a paycheck
    Than waiting to win the lottery

    Yeah, even just a forum that isn't indexed would be a huge step up. All you have to do is breathe on this forum and it's on google forever.

    I think it's a great idea. It may not be hugely popular at first, but that will build with consistent management and the addition of features that people really want. Sure I LOVE it here at SW, but I also use any other forums where I can find information on working in the adult industry, or just generally chat with likeminded girls. I joined AmberCutie's forum about the same time as signing up here, and had no issues with verifying. I think if it gives us more security it's a good thing. Bit quiet over there though so I don't use it much.

    Hey Dixie I read your posts. I just have not commented. Yes it would be nice to have a private forum, but I don't think it is the ultimate solution. I think people who REALLY care not to be tracked, should NOT be posting all their info on a public forum, or even a private forum. Even if we have a locked forum, there are still some cam girls who will use your information against you as well. I have seen it happen here MANY times. The real solution is for people to not give out so much identifying information in public.

    And I am not talking about the girls who do not mind people seeing all their cam work info, for advertising purposes. I am only talking about girls who complain about people finding them when they are clearly not being discreet!
    Taking a break from all unproductive shit will prove to be the best choice you can make.

    lol I just got an idea - instead of verification of camgirl status, you have to skype with a mod - you can hide everything ON YOUR FACE but your eyes, but you have to hold a conversation, like answer questions like "what's your favorite color" and "what's your favorite vacation spot" loL!

    that with heavy moderation, and the forum would be golden.

    there seems to be some confusion about what a private section of the forum would be - it means that unless you have a login to the forum, you can't access anything in the private section - and if all new members are "verified" by a mod, there's no men, and then the only lurkers are in the "warning, this is public!" threads.

    Dixie - If you're really serious about leading this, and are technically capable, I'd be happy to share my ideas with you. Like I said in the other thread, I've been thinking about this for almost two years and have some very specific ideas about how to achieve what's needed. Of course, they're my ideas, and not being a cam model, maybe I'm miles off base... but I don't think so.

    I do question how we would restrict the private section to only performers without verification however. If you can't make it secure (and exclusive), everything else is pointless.

    I'm not trying to stir up dissent. I'm being realistic and offering to help if you're interested in it from me.

    I trust Coolbreeze very much, for what that's worth, and I'm not the trusting type.

    I think someone just needs to go ahead and build the thing. People are going to be apprehensive and there's no way that any single approach is going to please everyone. But if it's good and it's safe, those who care about a stable, safe forum will come.

    This forum's obviously getting its bandwidth blown to bits, so if there's any time to build a new forum, it's now.

    @coolbreeze
    yes, I'm technically capable and more than a little bit of a perfectionist - but I think even if it takes a while to get it up, if it's right, it's right.

    as far as exclusive to just performers, I'm concerned about excluding other adult workers!! clearly PSO workers, escorts, etc. still need a private place - but I'm open to ideas, so long as it doesn't involve me or other mods possessing your information!! you don't like my skype idea? I guess I'm thinking for the first what, 50 posts or something, a new member is very very closely watched, maybe we even restrict membership to referrals! whatever we have to do, but I do not think verification re:camnames is safe, secure, or smart at ALL.

    by all means, share your ideas!!! I'm sure if you've been considering them for so long they must be fantastic

    @noa
    yes it's very annoying - for what it's worth, I know I'm newish but I do think I've been helpful enough to enough girls without asking anything in return that I think I'm trustworthy. I guess I'm thinking if its beautiful and intuitive AND secure girls will come. (lol! cum)

    Sorry dixie - I gave the wrong impression. I trust both of you - I just wanted to mention my trust of CB because I know that people tend to be wary of the men who post here. So I just wanted to vouch for him.

    Would you two be interested in working together? I don't want to push anything, especially since I can't offer any tech help myself (so maybe I should just shut up). But it seems like the two of you could work well together.

    oh no!! you didn't give the wrong impression AT ALL - I just like to fancy myself as self-aware and I know I am fairly new and that does affect the trust members would have in me.

    that said, I would love to work with someone - I actually joined on a studio started by a girl here, so I know there is LOTS of talent here, and lots of real hard-working, smart girls who know how to get shit done. I'd be honored to have another opportunity to work with such an established camgirl who is obviously well respected within the community

    Actually, I should shut up. That came off like I didn't think you'd be capable on your own and I don't think that at all. I just intuitively lean toward pooling skills and resources.

    If you build it dixie, I'll come.

    Actually I see so many things wrong with the way you plan to verify members it's ridiculous. If they are going to cover everything but their eyes how will you know that it's not a guy impersonating a woman? He can easily buy a wig and fool you. Just sayin. I will comment more later. GOod day yall!
