Welcome to a summary of our discussion on the creation of a "Wall of Shame" database, a proposal aimed at enhancing the safety and security of webcam models by sharing information on problematic clients. This initiative seeks to establish a searchable tool accessible exclusively to verified members, allowing them to warn each other about scammers, time wasters, and other undesirable clients. Below are key points and suggestions made by our forum members:
- A centralized database where models can input and search for screen names, associated aliases, and descriptions of scams or problematic behavior.
- Features of the proposed tool include:
- Listing other sites and aliases used by the client.
- Specific comments and situations shared by models.
- Details on how their scams operate.
- A "confirmed creep" rating to indicate the reliability of the reports based on multiple experiences.
- Concerns were raised regarding privacy and the potential for misuse. It was suggested that the database should avoid including personal details such as real names or contact information to prevent privacy violations.
- There was a consensus on restricting access to the tool to verified members only, to maintain the integrity and purpose of the database.
- Alternative suggestions included organizing the database by cam site or employing a simple list format to simplify the reporting process and minimize privacy concerns.
- Despite enthusiasm for the idea, some members expressed concerns about the potential for inaccuracies, the challenge of keeping the database up-to-date with scammer tactics, and the need to ensure the tool does not unfairly harm clients due to misunderstandings.
The proposal received positive feedback, with many members supporting the idea as a valuable resource for protecting themselves against known scammers and problematic clients. The forum's administrators have committed to developing this tool, with the community eagerly awaiting its implementation.
