Why can't I accuse someone of being a video in public chat, won't that help the site?
Instead of accusing someone of playing videos in public chat, you should report them for abuse, and if your complaint is valid, our staff will permanently block them from the site. The reason we do not allow users to accuse others of being videos in public chat is if they are wrong, they end up spoiling another user's experience on the site. Calling someone a video will not get them to disappear and will only make the site seem less real to others, especially if the accusation is false, which has happened many times before we instituted this policy.
What kind of links can I post in my profile and over my webcam?
Any link is allowed as long as it is not to a website which promotes malware, illegal activity, spam advertising, or fake webcam sites which are designed to trick people into signing up.
Can I block users in my city, state or country from seeing me?
No, it is not possible to block users by region. Allowing blocking by region would add more lag to the site and would not be very effective because of dynamic IP's on mobile devices and proxies which allow people to mask their IP address.
Do you support interactive toys such as Lovense?
We are not big fans of interactive toys like Lovense/Lush because they make models appear less authentic, and diminish the uniqueness of user experience. Paying members prefer genuine connections and interaction over clicking a button to buzz a toy they have seen a million times. If you don't want to be treated like a robot, avoid these toys and focus on having real fun! So the answer is, these toys do work on our site, but we really discourage their use.
