Discussion in this thread revolves around a situation where a webcam studio faced a $1000 penalty from MyFreeCams.com after attempting to register a new model with what the site administrator believed to be a fake ID. The ID in question was described as "a bit dirty and scanned with low resolution," leading to the registration being declined and the penalty being imposed without further attempts to clarify the issue.
Key points from the discussion include:
- The importance of clear documentation for 2257 records keeping, as unclear IDs can lead to serious legal issues for cam sites.
- The practice of fining studios or models as a deterrent against rule violations, including submitting questionable identification.
- Comparisons to other sites that have imposed similar fines for violations, highlighting the industry-wide practice of holding studios accountable for the actions of their models.
- A debate over whether the penalty was a fair measure or an overly harsh reaction to a potentially innocent mistake.
- Discussion about alternative platforms to mainstream cam sites, reflecting on the pros and cons of working with larger versus smaller or niche sites.
Participants in the thread express a range of opinions, from understanding the site's need to maintain strict standards to questioning the fairness and necessity of a hefty fine without thorough investigation or communication.
