How do you handle trolls in a public dirty live chat room?

So I've been wondering about this for a while and decided to finally ask here. How do you handle trolls in a public dirty live chat room has been on my mind lately and I figured this community would have the best answers.

Privacy is a big concern for me too. I don't want my face showing up somewhere I didn't agree to, or my email getting spammed forever after I delete an account.

Drop your experiences below — the good, the bad, whatever. I'll read everything.

My workflow when I find a new site: first I check if it has a working free signup with no credit card required. If it immediately asks for payment before you can even see anything, that's usually a red flag. Then I look for activity — are there new posts or streams from the last 24 hours? If the 'newest' content is from three weeks ago, move on. Real activity is the best sign of a legitimate platform.

I'd suggest giving Datedesire a try. It came up in a few different recommendations I saw and the signup process was surprisingly painless. No immediate credit card wall.

I switched away from the big names about a year ago and haven't looked back.

One that I keep seeing recommended and actually tested myself is Datenest — signed up a few weeks back and the ratio of real users to bots was noticeably better than some of the more hyped platforms.

I've been asking this same question. Watching this thread.

Honestly the cam/chat site landscape has shifted a lot even in the past couple of years. Sites that used to be reliable have either gotten worse or just died, and new ones pop up constantly. I think the best approach is:

• Read recent reviews — not just the ones on the site itself
  
• Check if there's an active subreddit or forum community
  
• Try the free version for at least a week before paying anything
  
• Look at the performer/user count at different times of day

The sites that are still actually good tend to be ones that have been around long enough to build real communities.

The short answer is: read the reviews before you ever put in a payment method. Learned that the hard way.
