The Chat Room starts automatically when the model clicks the Start Webcam link in the software. It is the central place for interaction between the model and the guests and member in the room.
Room Topic
At the top of the chat room, the model may enter a Room Topic which will be displayed for visitors as they enter the model's chat room.
User Information
The model can click on members in her chat room to get information about them. Depending on the privacy preferences of the users, the model may find out how many Tokens and Reward Points they have, whether they have a profile, and so on.
Upon clicking on a member, the model will also get links to Private message, Ban, Ignore, or Mute the member, or add the member to the model's Friends List.
Friends List
The model can add members to her Friends List which will show the model if those members are Online or Offline, and provide an easy way to find them and send them private messages.
Private Messaging (PM)
Models can send private messages to premium members and basic members. But only premium members may send private messages to a model while she is online.
It may be difficult for models to handle hundreds of private message windows from different users, so we have developed some options to help...
PM Manager
Models can click on Options and Settings and then activate the PM Manager which will put all PMs in a single window.
PM Options
If the PM Manager is not helping sufficiently, models may click on Options and Settings and choose to only let members on their Friends List send them messages, or any of the other options.
Models should think twice before selecting this option, as it is very frustrating for new members to try to message the model only to receive the reply, "Sorry, she is only accepting Private Messages from friends."
Watch Member Webcams
Premium members are able to turn on their own webcams at any time and share their webcam with models.
If a member's webcam is on, and the member has allowed the model to see it, then the model will see an option to view the webcam in the private message window with the member.
It is up to the model to watch the members or not; there are no requirements.
The model can also choose to hear sound from the webcam or not. By default, the member webcams will be muted (sound off).
Ban
Models can ban guests and members at any time and for any reason.
For guests, the IP address of the guest will be banned. For members, both the IP address and the username of the member will be banned. Banned users will not be able to re-enter the model's chat room.
By default, bans expire after 6 hours. However, models can click Options and Settings and select specific bans and extend them for 60 days.
In the Options and Settings models may also Un-Ban members at any time.
Ignore
Models can also ignore guests and members at any time and for any reason.
The model will no longer receive any messages from ignored users, both in the chat room and through private messages.
The Ignore list does not expire, and the model can modify it manually by clicking the Options and Settings link
