Hi

Golly, it appears that a Problem is being made out of Nothing...

The beauty of living in America is that Most of the time we have Freedom of Choice to use or Not to use an available product or service or what have you,,,, therefore why this option is being discussed is silly...

Every member should be able to Choose to Use or Not to Use the option to ignore anyone they wish...
We pay to be Premium members and the option to use or Not to use should remain a Right of Membership...

Nother words---------- Simply Do Not use it if you do not wish to  BUT,, do Not try to force, coax, coerce, embarrass or push others into behaving how You < (all those against the option)  think is correct...

Ruyka,,,, gosh,, do you not see how silly your most recent post is.?

i dont know what mean silly , but if it mean agressive i'm not . I just say that if a button "ignore all free users" exist , i dont see why there is not a button "ignore all premiums" . this dont mean i'll use it , i suppose i will not . But as jeanonna said , many use this button cause free members are considered like the spécialists of cold invit . But i receive more cold invits from premiums than from free members  :)

I agree with you, Ginger... but I do also think a modification of the original concept will make it a more useful feature.

Just my thoughts.

Rukya, you are right, we all and I mean ALL of us started out as free members. By having a universal button that says ignore all free users, makes the freebies feel like second class citizens. I once posted on here that we as premium members have an obligation to help out free members that ask for help. I was crucified for suggesting that we help out free users, cause they all rude and crude.  I help out any free member that asks as long as they arent disrespectful. I myself am personally responsible for at least 5 members becoming prem users. I we all did that, there would be more money paying members and then we would get the upgrades we want faster, since there are more Prem members. In my personal opinion, the worst upgrade we have ever gotten is the Busy button. It will be the end of Achat, because there will be less free members and untimately less Prem users.

@Gingerly welcome to forum, it is always good to hear different opinion, I respect yours...although I am bit confused your post here.

Sorry you said "problem", rather it will be a discussion about what someone is like or not like it,
free friendly exchange opinions as any other topic in this forum.
If this question for you irrelevant and you have very clear attitude, if this is for you nothing - then by that logic should not pay attention to this topic.
Moreover if the discussion or someone's post it's silly for you do not you think it is silly too to participate in such a thing?
The beauty of living in many country in Europe is that most of the time we have freedom on our opinion respecting diversities - then everything else.

"Do Not try to force, coax, coerce, embarrass or push other.." hey these are "big words" i don't think so , you can see only, as i said,free friendly exchange opinions but of course you can still think as you wish(and in any case I'm sorry for those who felt like you said),

Right of Membership is mentioned in the subject  even though the topic is not about it !

Every member should be able to Choose to Use or Not to Use the option to ignore anyone they wish

 - EXACTLY - this is the big point
Anyone They Wish NOT just free users !

At the end I can not help wondering what such a need to keep the option "ignore all free members' if you like me and everyone else have "ignore list "?!

@Rukya I thought to write something like you said"ignore all premiums", before -on some of my posts on this topic. Honestly I didn't just because someone does not think that despite being seems to defend the free members (which is not just that - cause i like my premium friends very much) but arrogantly suggest something like "ignore all premiums" .I must admit that was a bit cowardly from me :-[

I am glad you did and i can say in this question it is not silly at all ! When it comes to this issue, it naturally arises if we have option "ignore free users"and if premium members think the option is not silly then can't be silly "ignore premium members" too.

In addition, thank you, with your clear proposal are managed provoke some negative reactions premium members who are sensitive when it comes to their membership ( i am saying this without intent to insult anyone) It is a very good example of pointing the finger at someone even the entire group, as potentially undesirable, not a welcome - cause more or less bad reactions and this is exactly what we do to free users.
That is quite natural -we are all human beings.
I have also more or less bad impulsive reactions when I provoked something, whether any of us that there is no similar moments....

Personally, I started out as a premium member, was never a "free" user.

I raise this issue ONLY because it illustrates the danger of generalization. When we generalize our opinions to everyone on here, the risk of inaccuracy is high. My point is to corroborate someone who already said what we need is to fine tune options. Of course options should be diplomatically worded so as not to offend anyone. However, options are just that, OPTIONS. To be utilized by each individual at their own discretion. I believe this is the key to growing AChat. A system with enough options that most people are motivated and rewarded with the satisfaction to continue playing.   :)

what you say is true , its just options , and the "problem" is that if someone want ignore only premiums , he/she cant cause he/she have not the option to do . Some could say that ignore free members must be a premium privilege without the risk to be ignored (or only in case of finishing in the ignore list) , but this will do like if there was 2 achats . One with the options (just talking options) for premiums , and one with options for free members .

hmmm not sure if i explain well what i mean . Shortly , for me , if there is the option "ignore all free users" there must be in the other way too . And again just as an option .

Even with this option we still have about 46% of premium members answering a free user when they come asking us something in a polite way, isn't that quite good? Take a look at this thread where they talk about the survey they did: http://www.funnyadultgamesplay.com/forum/index.php/topic,1538.0.html

Some might feel that it's a premiums obligation to answer every free user, but others don't and you can't force them to do it either.

If I'm not too busy I try to answer free users that actually have real questions, but not the ones that are just looking for cheap thrills.

Actually, I wouldn't care if they added a "Ignore all premium members" option, it wouldn't make any difference to me.

well, at the end everyone is free to use it or no. we have it now, but it's on us abuse of the ignore button or not.

as more of you had mension, i have plenty of free users friends, so blocking them isn't in my mind. The forst time i used it (when it was added to acht) a friend tel me he was thinking i don't wanna see him, but i had explain him it wasn't on my mind, i was just trying it blocking all the users and using the editor, so no one can interrupt me.
so, yes, i think blocking cold invite can be good, but not block the chat!

and, well, i tend to ignore some chat couse i'm talking whit 2 or 3 peoples at time, and adding more will be a mess, so why don't set the chat sistem before going on whit the busy button!? i think the chat sistem need priority then more other stuff!

For me it's about having options. Honestly I almost always forget to turn it on until the lame pick up lines have me remembering "Oh right, I CAN shut them up."

As far as personal experiences, i was a free less then a day... I think it was less then six hours. I logged on, had a guy try to "help" me by inviting me into a room (I thought that meant a private channel like in most chat programs) and then try to get me to click the flashing box so he could bend me over and fuck me.

In spite of that I left, and discovered Robot Girl, saw what poses I could use, and saw what poses I could use if I went premium, and went out to get a prepaid card to pay for my first years membership.

Even with the free blocking option AChat still offers an impressive level of access to free users.

I will relate an encounter I had.  I was in a room, and I said goodbye and left, then clicked the bust to all users button soI could change clothes and backgrounds. When I returned the person I was with was very distraught, because I left being in a room with them, and then by what they say I went into a room with another. This happens because the busy button sends out a "In Room" on your profile. I had a hard time explaining that I wasnt in a room with someone else, I was using the busy button. There comment was "But It said you were in  a room, not busy". I had to have the person set there own busy button and then look at their own profile to see it said Im Room.

That is the main reason I will not use the busy button. It upset my friend to the point of tears. If they would change the button to say "Busy" instead of In Room, I might Use it once in awhile,

Just last night I was approached by a free user, he asked to chat amd said he was new. I talked to him and found out that he had been on 2 hours, had tried several Prem members and I was the first on to even say Hi To Him. I know that we sometimes are on here for certain people, but come on,no one would even talk to the poor guy for 2 hours. I am ashamed. I took him in a room and showed him around, told him as a free what he could do and couldnt do. He was polite and very thankful for the help I showed him. And yes I showed him several of the sex poses, I dont know whether he will or not, but he said that he was going to go prem as soon as possible. All it cost me was time.


I have an Idea, when a free user becomes prem, why not have them recommend someone who helped them out and made their mind up about going prem. Maybe give the recommended person a bonus for having the most recommendations in a month, Achat wins with more prem members and gives Prem members incentive to talk to free users, just a thought.
