In the short time I've been camming, I have made some good friends in this industry, and have learned to appreciate the freedom such a pursuit can bring. However, I can't deny that there are also unscrupulous parties at every turn that are constantly looking for new ways to exploit us. I was saddened tonight to find yet another example of exploitation at 4chan (dot) org. I occasionally visit this site for advice due to it's high number of experts on anonymity, but after tonight, I no longer want anything to do with them, nor the associated advertiser.
Here is the banner ad I saw on 4Chan, entitled "Troll a Cam Girl!":

Clicking on this banner brings you to this page:

Notice anything interesting? How about the fact that you can chat, but there is NO Tip button! They are intentionally creating an environment that promotes trolling/harassment of cam models with no option to tip even if they want to.
So who is behind all of this? I noticed at the top of the page, it says "Powered by LiveFreeFun.com", so I decided to check it out. Well, it turns out LFF is a skin on the Streamate network, which you can see in the linked screenshot below:

By starting this thread, it is not my intention to blame Streamate for this; they have so many skins on their network, it's probably impossible for them to monitor all of their network sites. I just want LFF to be exposed an make cam models aware of what is going on. If anyone knows of a Streamate rep here on the site, please PM them and bring this thread to their attention. Also, I would greatly appreciate it if a female member could post a similar thread or link to this thread in the Camming Connection forum for me. Anyone that works on Streamate has a right to know what's happening, and a lot more will be exposed to this information in the CC forum.
PLEASE NOTE: I didn't post any links to 4Chan for a reason. The site webmasters have programs that will show them all the sites that linked to them. If I had posted the direct link and they find this thread, there is a possibility a coordinated attack/trolling may be used against myself or others who post in this thread. This has happened numerous times over the years. I just want to take every precaution while bringing this issue to light. That said, please DO NOT post any links to the 4chan website.
