    Default do you take advantage of blocking out certain states?

    i did, and not just a zip code, my entire state -- on webcams and i was really talkative in free chat, giving the guys more attention than i should be. and one of the guys was talking about the university he goes too (which is in the same city i live in!) he was a student, i hate young men who go in my room.. they never have any $ and they certainly wont spend it on you, they expect free things because ooo we're almost the same age. Anyways it just creeped me out that he was that close to me.. i wonder if the blockers block by isp or by credit card information... but i dont trust those blockers anymore. i know he didnt just find me on the internet and then go in to brag about knowing me, it didnt seem that way at all, he even knew of this hippie festival (nelson ledges) near my college (kent state-where that shooting happened) you'd have to live where i live to know about it or what its about (its a giant park where you can get any imaginable drug and the whole park gets fucked up all weekend long, its an insane place to be... i cant believe ppl bring children there.... a lot of people will take serious amounts of drugs and then jump off this cliff into a lake and they usually die hitting the rocks, or drown)

    i lied and said i was from somewhere else, but he gave me his phone number and it had my area code... i double checked my settings and not only is my state blocked, but i blocked all the zip codes in the area as well......


    im not extremely worried because i suppose blocking out even 1 state merits losing quite a bit of business.
    but at the same time last night i had some friends come over to get drunk, and we were on google and youtube just looking for music to listen to while we drank (they didnt know i cammed so it wasnt weird) but this girls chat room just popped up from streamate, and we were looking at her talk in her room... we werent looking for porn at all, and we certainly didnt pick any particular model.. i think streamate just has pop ups for cam girls...
    wouldnt it be weird if someone you know was online and a pop -up of your room just lands on their computer... i know its unlikely... but shit happens, and its a small world ...right? maybe sm is better at blocking states than webcams, but the risk is there non the less.

    im just not feeling so safe today :/ the camming risks are really in my face all of a sudden

    Yes I have my home state and my current state blocked so people dont find me even though my close family knows that I cam. if I blocked all the states I lived in id have no were ha. Camming is a little scary and risky sometimes I wish I could hide my face from the cam. I know my bf would be really upset if he knew I was camming again but I need the money right now and I do like what I do. It just sucks how camming could screw things up for you in some ways so I know how your feeling. :/

    Georestrictions don't work. Sometimes they do, but often times they don't. And they will never work if a guy is using a proxy.

Those blocks are not 100%. I decided that it was best for me to set it because I don't like the thoughts of being viewed by those who are not signed in. That is a benefit of SM.

    Without the restriction, Any random person can run across the site and then see your bio pic sitting there, then see you in free chat without having an account.

    I figure if someone I know is signed in and surfing a porn site, they are not likely to go tell the news that they found me. If they run across the site and do not have an account.. they will talk shit. "Hey guess who I seen on a cam site!".

    But mainly, I don't like sitting there talking shit, trying to get a guy into private, and then wondering about how many people are sitting there watching me, that I don't know about lol. It doesn't bother me if I know it is members with accounts, or other models. But the openness to just anyone, that just creeps me out.

    I just wonder how many people watch those chat rooms and never get member accounts. Something to think about!
    Exactly. If you don't have at least one on, you will be displayed on Streamate's home page regardless if they have a members account. And they can watch you. At least geo-restrictions make it so you have to be signed in on your members accounts in order to view someone with even one geo-block on. That's the only reason I keep it on.

    I've been chatting with some other people and found out that SM changed their restrictions. It used to be that you didn't show up in a g**gle search, but now you do (if you have restrictions on), and it used to be that they didn't use you in any kind of advertising, but I've heard that they've started using those girls again (one girl said she's a pop-up), even tho their FAQs say they won't do it.

    The only advantage I can see to have a restriction is 1. You're not getting attention for models who don't have a customer account b/c they can't see you and are therefore forced to mind their own business and not get jealous of you or turn you in for minor stuff. 2. The guys can only see you if they're logged in.

    Otherwise, it looks like SM decided this wasn't such a good idea to offer it and has started taking away some of the restrictions. I was NOT told any of this by SM. I've been told by other models and observed some of it myself (I g**gled a restricted girl and her profile came up in the results).

    I use blocking, and have never had a person say they are currently in my area. I know people can use proxies (but I'm assuming if they go through that trouble, they wont be giving themselves away).

    Also, SM told me that they suspend accounts of customers who use proxies, but I"m not sure if that's true. A girl can dream...

    I don't think I have geo-restriction on anymore (on any site), after realizing that it doesn't always work. Also, I figured that if someone "in real life" wanted to be nosy and spy on me on a site like MFC, they would do so as a guest or basic since it's free. I mute guests and basics at all times, and I don't have to worry about them running their mouths.

    I'm bumping this thread. I know there was a longer thread a little bit back on the subject of SM geo-restriction, but couldn't find it.
    I'm struggling with this dilemma right now. I have geoblocking on, and really don't see much of a difference in income. (But it has only been a few days, with my regular guys taking me exclusive, so I can't know for sure).
    I just want other girl's opinions. I like being protected against anyone and everyone being able to look at my free chat feed without being logged in, but I don't want to compromise my good paychecks.
    Can anybody verify to me that they have geoblocking ON, and still make a good amount? I'm talking around 100+ an hour good--with geoblocking ON.
    I need to have peace of mind on this issue because it is driving me cray-cray.

    PS- Just for the record, I geoblocked a shit ton of middle eastern countries, and it reaaaallly helped my sanity by getting rid of LOTS of beggars.

    If you go to Redtube and click on the second page a pop up will appear which broadcasts a random SM girl in free chat. There's a scrolly thing on the bottom which shows all the girls on SM who are live. I think it's a new feature if anyone wanted to check it out.
