Welcome to the discussion on whether Streamate members were required to verify their account information on July 23, 2016. This topic explores an unexpected request for account verification that some members encountered upon attempting to log in, despite having valid credit card information on file. The conversation delves into:
- Instances of members being asked to update their payment/account information unexpectedly.
- Clarifications on whether the issue affected only member accounts or model accounts as well.
- The reasons behind choosing to sign in as a member, including supporting model friends, learning new techniques, and engaging in chats which are exclusive to members.
- Explanation of how Streamate's visibility works for 'members only' models, including how the placement on the site can differ from the public homepage to what logged-in members see.
- Discussion on alternative ways to watch models without becoming a site member, and the legal and ethical implications associated with them.
Participants share their experiences and clarify misunderstandings about the functionalities of member versus model accounts, including the importance of having a member account to fully participate in the site's offerings.
