    Default Muting Basics/Greys/(depending on the camsite) What's your policy?)

    Whatever the people without tokens are called. I know that there's an option for muting people who can't pay you. However, sometimes, they are good tools when getting a conversation going. And I also have talked to some of my friends who view cams and buy tokens specifically for models they've talked to. However, there are many who are, indeed, freeloaders and become so whiny and demanding that I question if they're even legally supposed to be viewing adult cams. I'm thinking I might mute/silence people without tokens after a certain hour of the day, or when I get back from my "break." But I'd like some input.

    I'm always willing to allow guests to talk or maybe twenty minutes when I first sign on (when I work MFC which admittedly hasn't been for awhile.)
    but then someone ruins it and then I mute them.

    I ban the annoying ones, and I put the rest on notice that if they don't buy tokens they will eventually be banned. I usually give them a week, but they get little to no attention.

    Normally I mute guests as soon as I start camming, and allow basics to talk until they either get totally obnoxious or the room gets too busy (sadly, the latter has not been happening as much as I'd like - lol) I've actually had a couple people sign up and tip me after being basics so I try to give them a chance. If they are getting out hand though, their chance to chat goes bye-bye.

    I let them be until they get too chatty or annoying. I often have a mod on Chaturbate who mutes them for me. But when it gets too busy, they all get muted. Sometimes they are good for conversation. Do what you want with them without feeling bad is my opinion. I don't find that many convert only because I let them talk when they were basics. They would or wouldn't convert regardless if they have a voice.

    I let all talk. Sometimes we will get a member who just gave his last token to another performer then he will see me working. It's funny, but I never get shit (it's rare) in my room with anons. I had over 700 anons on Chaturbate yesterday and not 1 was mean. The members can get just as testy though, and I have found myself doing an actual ban on a few members. At times I run my room with no anons and it's less shit to read, which is nice. They do tend to clog chat.
    My policy... sound/say your a kid, your out!! Paying members get annoyed... your out!

    I just ignore them. On SM I leave only the free chat area open. When the paid chat above in red "dings" it automatically kicks the guys out. At the very bottom in guest chat, those guys have yet to sign up with a credit card and will just sit and lurk. Instead of kicking them out, I simply ignore them. I found that keeping them in and just not speaking to them either makes them sign up for my attention, or, they just leave. I do prefer them to stay in because it only helps my placement.

    On IML I simply ignore the whole room until I hear a paid chat ding. I only work IML so that I can finish my mandatory free chat hours anyway. If they have money to spend, they will spend it on me. I also only show my cleavage on IML and they get to see all of me in paid. Why exhaust myself trying to convert guys who either need a push, or never plan to spend on me anyway?

    Guests can't have anything nice. They always ruin it.

    That is totally up to you. I know that not all guests and basics are bad, but I mute them because a disturbingly high amount of them are rude, begging, and demanding. A while back there were a few basics who I really liked. I won't go into all the details of why I don't deal with them anymore, but both of them turned out to be annoying guys who thought compliments are supposed to be a replacement for tipping...and they were dropping hints about "wanting to get to know me better" and wanting to exchange numbers/meet up/send fruit to my house/pay my Sprint bill for me. LMAO. You're not getting my phone number or address, weirdo. Both of them wound up getting banned. Not just for freeloading, but for being creepy as fuck, PMing me to death, and basically having ridiculous expectations of a cam girl (expecting stuff to happen outside of the internet) and taking advantage of my kindness.

    Also, with all the trolls that are already on MFC, I feel that keeping guests and basics unmuted is giving even more trolls the opportunity to post nasty, hateful things in public chat. Ever have a beggar ask for something, and when you tell him to tip first he gets all nasty and pissy? Yeah, there's already enough of that coming from some of the premiums. I wanna keep that chill vibe in my room and have as little drama as possible. Guests and basics should consider themselves lucky that they can even camp out in models' rooms for that long and see nudity (other cam sites would boot them from free chat after a few minutes). They can pay the $19.99 to upgrade if they wish to talk that badly. When they're in your room every night for long periods of time, clearly they see something they like, and they should want to tip you. Some of them will act like they're broke or can't afford it, and if that's true then they'd better not slip up one day and start bragging about their new iPhones, you know? And a lot of premiums get annoyed in rooms where guests/basics are loose and out of control, and they'll move on to a different room.

    Another thing I've considered is that the amount of comments outing your personal info (whether that's intentional or accidental) is more likely to be higher than before if everyone is free to chat. Some people on the 'net will say whatever fucked up thing they want when their username is Guest12345. Also, if someone you know is browsing MFC for the first time and finds you on there, they're probably watching as a guest and may blurt out "OMG, *real-name*, I didn't know you're on here! How ya been? You still working at *name-of-your-job*?" They're telling all your business and not even realizing what a no-no that is.

    I agree with everything you said 100%! With all respect to every Cam Performer however there are some damn mean paying customers out there that blow away members. Interesting how Performers handle their rooms different from others. MFC is very bad for BS. My account is still sitting there waiting for me to get back on. Tons of members begging before tipping... Damn I hate that. At least I can ignore the guests. Also I don't give a crap what they say or know about me, I am out there already. It's my paying members I worry about, I lose them I lose my money.

    Speaking of paying members, you know what really sucks sometimes? When a premium with, say, 2,000 tokens showing asks to see my ass, and then when I tell him I'll flash for 25 tokens he leaves. So you like me enough to wanna see my ass, but not enough to tip me a small amount for the request? Ugh!

    I keep greys and basics unblocked just because they usually talk more then the paying ones = more conversation.

    Thanks for all your input. I always mute people who can't bother to sign up for an account, because I like to attach a name to the comments, and talking to someone whose only attribute is guest1234567^%*# kind of creeps me out. But I may have to start getting more strict with the people without tokens. It's like some of my favourite coffee shops offer free WiFi, and it's probably ok to sit and just use the internet, but if too many people do that, then someone who actually wants to go in and buy coffee comes by, and the shop is crowded, they may just go across the street to Starbucks. And Starbucks isn't even that great. Unless you're in Japan.

    No one could have ever have said that better!! Think that is why the members bother me more than the anons. Guess I could expect some crap from an anon, but a member showing his token count on MFC (I can say that can't I) that was another mind blower when they left after begging to see something.
    MFC bothered me so badly. It's like they had been spoiled babies crying for this and that for free, then after you say show me the tokens they slam the door in your face, wish I could reach through the screen and slap them all!

    This is SEMI related, but not entirely..... what are your ladies take on Private Message muting (on MFC anyway)? I have the whole "___ tokens to add to friends list & have PM privileges" thing.

    I've tried both allowing any premiums to contact me and just those on the friends list. GAH - I feel like with my friends-list-only policy I am missing out on potential opportunities (I totally am!).

    (I can post this in the MFC thread if more appropriate)

    I used to charge 100 tokens for my friends list, but then I realized some people will just tip you that once just to PM you to death. So now I don't charge for friends list. Instead I choose to add whoever I feel like adding when I feel they've earned it. In other words, they've started visiting my room frequently chatting and tipping when they can. Usually the guys who ask me "Can you add me?" are the ones who don't quite deserve it, and just want to PM you to death...lol.

    After getting 16+ private messages and a bunch of whiny babies (I'm about to write a rule which states that immature behaviour is grounds for banning.) I blocked messages from nonfriends and charge for adds. I didn't see any point in giving special attention to all the "hi," and "hey, bb" messages when they weren't benefiting me. I do similar on chaturbate.
