This chat is called Paltalk. To make a long story as brief as possible, a few room owners have a room. The main owner didn't pay his part of the bill for the room, so these people decide to branch out and make their own room. I'm hired as an admin and there is fuel being put onto the fire because the owner that is of the room which I'm admining is is accused of closing down the other's chat room.
Later on as time goes by the admins get tired of the owners who made their own room. Attitudes, not following the G Rated rules etc. At this point I'm promoted a head admin slightly before this period. One day, the admins decide that they don't want to take any more beef, so The admins there split up to make their own room, a black room that is not capable of streaming video like all the other rooms are. This is a bad move since this drives away people from a paid room into a free room. Bad blood progresses and the owner of the room which the admins left decides to take it upon himself to clone another screen person's name and use a punter to knock out all of the admins from this third room. This person has punted, nuked, sent viruses to me and he will not let up and Paltalk will not do anything without physical proof, kind of difficult when he is untraceable.
this same person also threatened someone on Paltalk, very serious, and yet he is still allowed on. A palTalk red, someone who is high rank in paltalk, told me to get proof and then go see a co-admin. Now, no matter if I am an admin or not, he is still capable of punting people out, though I'm getting most of the flack. Today I had to do a complete format of my system because of the damage I have been through during all these times I have been beaten up.
Why do these people stay on??? Is there a real logical answer to this question???
Rooms on Paltalk are a business and I have seen the good and dark sides of Paltalk. Rooms that have streaming video for all are like this because the owners flip the bill. Rooms pay by themselves through the use of sponserships, selling items, etc. So yes, it is a business transaction and it is encouraged there.
I think the owner may have been upset because I resigned my hat as head admin, a hat is a designation that a person is an admin the "@" symbol in front of the name. My work in the owners room was never appreciated and I was yelled at because I wouldn't respond right then and there when I was told to.
I have been an admin of 6 rooms, a head admin of one, and am owner and admin of my own photo room, well not now since I get ousted out of it, so I know how paltalk works, functions, and carries it sell; the baggage if you will. Why do I stay you ask? The rooms are greatly moderated and have a top environment for live video and chat. Unfortunately there are holes in it. There are illegal tools out there, plus the banning of people doesn't reside on the server side, but on the client side. You ban someone, no biggie just either download an antiban program or do it manually from the registry. It is a mess, but yet I stay because of the programs capability, the friends I do have, and because I never let down from a fight. I will not change my screename for anybody.
Well, that is the short of it. Thanks for listening.
