Site announcements and information discussion

Hello, recently this site - particularly the chat window in the lower right corner - appears to be crowded with pretend dommes looking to earn cash. However, their approach has shifted lately. Initially, submissives were simply asked to pay a fee to prove they are serious about the “relationship” with their prospective mistress. Not many men fell for that obvious scheme, so tactics evolved. Next came the version where the “Domme” initiates contact and then suddenly must travel abroad for business (or is already overseas and wants to return quickly). Complications arise; while specific reasons differ, the core message remains: Please assist me financially as I am stuck in a tricky spot and need funds for my trip back. I will repay you once I arrive home. This method also seemed somewhat ineffective, so now we see another variation of this scheme. Potential sub candidates are invited to demonstrate their devotion by setting up an account on a different website. Personally, I’ve been asked to do this on and, among others. The URL they provide for signing up is rarely the standard one; it contains tracking parameters that convert it into a referral link. This means if you register through such a link, the other person earns a commission. I examined some of these programs: for instance, pays US$ 1.00 per new account created, assuming at least 1 in 25 becomes a paying member (not just a free profile). I am confident many share my annoyance with this. My proposal to address the issue is that the website operator places a notice explaining how these exploiters work somewhere prominent (e.g., a box above the forum / content area of the page. If one assumes most people are now aware of their methods, they might decide there is less profit to be made here and depart. What do you think? Best, Gerry

I believe a warning would be an EXCELLENT idea! However, I also suspect these individuals aren't quite reasonable enough to heed such a message, and the attempted fleecing will likely persist....:( But I think the warning should still be posted regardless!!! With warmest regards. J.

Let me update this with a list of those I am certain are trying to make money here in one way or another: Mystique => requests people to create a profile on via an affiliate marketing link MsAndrea => Requests signing a contract that includes a "fee" (currently $200)

MsAndrea messaged me in chat and once she brought up money, I blocked her. These users need to go.

And one more: Princess Annie => requests people to create a profile on via an affiliate marketing link

Mistress Andrea has her own idea, or so she believes. She asks you to sign a chastity contract that is so vague one wonders why bother. Then send her $200 and she will keep your keys, without specifying when they return; however, if you want them back earlier, you must pay her an additional $500. And yes, as you might guess, the money goes to her cousin in the Philippines. Now I may be a bit naive, but does this sound genuine?????????????????????

perhaps I am just lonely. I enjoy chatting with these scammers. It is amusing. Fake dommes are very keen to lock my cock:p begging me almost.
