Welcome to the summary of our discussion on making the chat feature exclusive to Verified Members. This is a significant update aimed at enhancing the experience of our professional community. Here are the key points from the conversation:
- The chatbar is now only accessible to Verified Members to prevent fake members from soliciting free shows.
- All chat features, including the general room, individual chat, and mobile chat, are covered under this update.
- Members are encouraged to get verified if they haven't done so to gain access to the chat features.
- A technical issue was addressed where some external links were not opening in new windows, potentially causing users to navigate away from the site. This has been fixed.
- There's a proposal for making only verified members able to access chat and private PMs to further secure our community.
- Concerns were raised about the appearance of member profiles potentially attracting customers due to advertising and pictures, suggesting a need for clearer communication that this platform is not intended for customer interaction.
- It was clarified that chat access is now limited to verified members, and private messaging (PM) is available only between friends. The site's non-commercial nature is communicated clearly to new members upon signing up and in the welcome PM.
This update is part of our commitment to maintaining a safe, professional environment for our members. Thank you to everyone who contributed to the discussion.
