its come to light that somebody has gone around shooting their mouth off that people they know play on cam
Even suggesting that a video was made
to the point where this got back to them via their kids school
So this has me thinking
How do we keep ourselves safe on cam from these dicks?

Control doesnt always mean that those you think are safe, wont do what as happened here.
Now... this thread was started, for YOU guys can keep your self safe, and not relay on others to keep you safe.
Being able to have an element of control over our OWN safely should be an option for us. Most of us take as many precautions as possible.
I always thought that we all came on this site for the same reason, and all expected the same amount of discretion from each other. This is disgusting to say the least, i think a way of controlling who can and can't watch you on cam if you have extras is a great idea. Might weed out some of the trouble makers..
So in saying that...
WHAT would you do to protect your self's, so this cant happen????
Its sad that it as happened.
But the idea of this thread, is to help others and those concerned, as well..
ON what can be done WEB SIDE, this site is just one little area.
Rose,
You misread it. We didn't say the person had Extras. Sexii was agreeing with me that offering cam control with Extras would be a good thing.
Maybe you can put your Mod hat on and see if you can wave your magic wand and make it happen. I'm sure you'd make a lot of people happy.
True Rose but at least if you had a block button you could stop certain people or even local people from seeing your cam, it has gotta help not hinder..
Agreed Sexii,
As blocking someone does not block them from seeing your cam.
It would be good to see an admin try to answer this question, and explain why they won't add a block button for cammers. Every time this topic comes up in the forums, it's left to the mods to answer all the time......even though they can't change it anyway. Most of us are thinking that it will never be changed because it is bringing in the new full paying members. But how long will that last if all the couples and fems stop camming? Not many new members are going to pay out their money to join up and watch a sausage fest on cam every night. We may be wrong, but until admin states any different, I don't think so. And to the OP, thanks for bringing this up, it's a risk we all should be reminded of now and then.
This thread brings up a topic that arises so often it is no longer funny. G & G and others have brought it up here again and as they say, we keep getting the same answer over and over without the question actually getting answered. Put simply, WHY can't we have a block button to stop people looking at OUR cam. So many members no longer cam and the reasons are generally the same, that they don't like the way certain members treat them while they are on cam. If a block button was available and you could allow only those that you want to watch have a look then the problem is solved. We have seen the question posed so many times and as G & G says, the answer is always the same, Make a private room and invite people you want in. That is not the answer. Are we expected to open a private room , go into all the chat rooms, pick the ones we want to watch then give them the password. Then while we are putting on our show, do we keep stopping and going back into all the chat rooms to see who else has come in and then invite them in and then go back to our play? The members have asked for a block button for camming and admin have not answered why we can't have one. We are on no other sites but we believe from reading these forums that this feature is available on many other adult sites. If SH cannot give us one then fine but please can we have a reason given for this often asked question.
Gees thanks...
sigh
Answer as been the same.... since the beginning and admin have not changed that at this point in time.
And as they arnt on site till Monday night.. HEY give me a break...
So until we can all get an answer that would keep the majority happy dancing.. LETS offer other suggestions...
Thanks
Oh look i repeated my self....
sigh....
Just do what I do.
Ask " and where are you getting this information"
They will either dob themselves in for using the site, dob in someone else, or discredit themselves making their info invalid whether its true or not. If they admit to watching you simply state you must be mistaken or straight up admit to it and ask them what they thought. Challenge them to as why they are on the site.
Good and greedy i think you will find that app has changed and it doesnt give distances at all now, i did tell site about that cpl of months ago and they fixed it asap. As for recording video im pretty sure but once u broadcast it you lose rights to it and anyone can rec ord it if they wish, the only safe gaurd is that on a site like this they have rules and can ban ppl if found out, but its not illegal.
I do have to laugh at aeazy when he says do as i do, lol it sounds like its happened to him often which i doubt.
The block feature (and I'm happy to call it that, because it actually works) on the site that many of us came from stops people you choose to block from being able view your profile, or contact you. It also prevents you from having to see their drivel in the chat rooms too. So, as far as you're now concerned, they just don't exist. Everything they type just doesn't appear in chat. It's great!
I'm not sure about how it affects camming, but if it did all those things, AND stopped them from being able to see your cam, the world would be a wonderful place.
It's obviously possible, coders, so let's make it happen.
A & J
Coastie - the distance locator on the site is not what I'm talking about. It's only found in the SH App for your phone. And it is still there because I just had a look.
AJ - The block option doesn't block cams. I was thinking more of an allow button. A bit like the whisper option where you have to give permission for someone to view your cam. Or disallow someone from your Watch List. Either option works for me.
I have actually had people question me about my profile and profiles i have on other sites. Thats why I don't have a face pic and my tattoo is hidden in my public gallery. I don't go around telling everyone I know that I am bi or the fact that I am a nudist and swinger, just my closest friends and some family . I am an upstanding member of my community and have a job where public image is key. However we all have private lives and thsts it they are private
And to clarify: it is illegal to record a broadcast and distribute with out the participants knowledge and permission
The problem is proving who recorded it
Good it doesnt work on mine as i too just checked, so not sure there.
Azeasy, id love to see where you get the law your stating from as ive had a search and cannnot find it
Thats why I don't have a face pic
I am an upstanding member
lol az, you told me its because you look like a yeti that you dont have a face pic and im not going to touch the upstanding member bit lol
'nah , met az, hes a nice bloke.
just needed to have a dig at him,
as for the phone app i just turn off the gps thingy
could come under the copyright act as the people on cam are the original owners of the broadcast and it should not be copied otherwise it breaks the copyright laws same as a movie DVD music CD and Photographs..
yes i understand what your saying but thats not criminal, and as long as you dont do it to make money you cant be sued. I find on this site ppl just post up things about laws that arent actually laws, also nowhere can i find anything that says showing a video or picture from an online site is illegal. Id love someone to prove me wrong, but my thoughts r if you show on here you have to expect under current stiuations that it can get into wrong hands, so be aware and dont just think because its posted here by someone claiming its illegal that your covered
