It's 1325, now.

As I said to Budda, I didn't invent this rule. It's been around for ages. Read my post to him. Whether you agree or not it doesn't change.

No, it doesn't mean that...if you had said it once or twice. But, when you repeat the same thing over and over, especially for weeks and weeks, you make it clear that you want a change to occur. In your case, you're saying that you want Melissa to stop using her phone the way she uses it because you don't like it. It doesn't matter how you say it, you're using repetition to try to change her behavior. I didn't make up this rule. It's been stated many times by other people. It doesn't matter what you want or expect to see when you subscribe. What you're paying for is the right to see what happens in the apartments. That's all, nothing else. It doesn't include trying to change their behavior by whatever means you use to try and change it. It's up to the tenants to choose what they want to do to entertain us. It's not for us to decide. If they don't get the views they need to make enough money, then they either make a choice to do something different or they leave the project. But, it's their choice. It's not up to us. As I said before, if a tenant changes what they do to suit one person's desires, they may be disappointing many other viewers and their income could suffer as a result. Remember, there are many more viewers than just those who post on CC.

Yes, that was precisely my point. Subs don't buy the right to direct the lives of the tenants, just a view through the cams. I didn't poke at anyone specifically. I was speaking in general terms about everyone who posts the same thing repetitively.

Yes, you could do that, but that wouldn't be quite the point. Melissa has the right to do whatever the hell she wants to do with her life because it's just that, her life. Subs and other viewers also have a right; the right to watch what she and others decide to do. And that's it, period. You've said it yourself: A sub buys you a view through the cams. It doesn't give us the right to direct the lives of the tenants. We have no right to coax badger, cajole, intimidate, manipulate, suggest, encourage, persuade, prod, insinuate, needle, verbally attack, convince, induce, incite, influence, urge, advise or in any other way, direct the lives of the tenants. And it doesn't matter what behavior you use. Whether you come right out and say, "Don't do that, do this instead," or you gently insinuate you would prefer to see them do something different. Directing is directing. I don't think he was speaking literally. It was an opposing opinion made to illustrate what other viewers might like to see. He did say "hypothetically." But, he makes a good point. Why should a tenant change their behavior to suit the desires of one person, when they may already be doing what 100 other viewers prefer? That's one reason why we don't have the right to direct the lives of the tenants. If they start doing or not doing what that one person wants, they may displease 100 others. Then where would their "views" be? To quote a rather well-known Star Trek character, "The needs of the few do not outweigh the needs of the many." Or, something like that. And I agree, we all have the right to express our opinions, within the rules of the forum. And we can even repeat the same opinion ad infinitum, ad nauseam. But, why on Earth would you want to do that? Why would you choose to annoy and aggravate and irritate, offend, pester, etc., and provoke the ire of your fellow viewers in this community? Why would you want to generally get on other peoples' nerves? That's more like the behavior exhibited by trolls.

That is quite weird English. But when you mean she is tired because she did not sleep then you are most probably right. He just left out two letters: Could it be because... Otherwise, it was perfect English. Not weird at all. 😊

I've noticed. 👍

Two nice puns.

Very nice, Noldus. You might like to post that video, here. Merry Christmas. https://camcaps.net/forums/topic/14595-merry-christmas/?tab=comments#comment-1635774188

https://camcaps.net/forums/topic/9970-vh-funnies/?do=findComment&comment=1635571183 The devil made me do it, Budda, I couldn't resist. I'm just messing with you. I do have to thank you for the pic in the post right below this link. It was one of the funniest pics taken at just the right moment, I've ever seen. 👍

Gotcha. Thanks. 👍

Has been done and the Topic is Locked for the time being until further verification is done. What happened at B&H's place that the topic had to locked out?

It's still night vision, but it's not green, anymore.

Gotcha, thanks.

Thanks. I've seen graphics tablets before, just not over the keyboard like that. 👍

That "laptop" has no keyboard. It looks like two screens connected together.

Hope your Christmas is not quite this hectic, but full of fun and good memories! MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!! giphy.mp4
