A letter from a fan
This morning, I received one email with the subject “Pink Skirt Video Chaturbate, Custom Video”. I thought, “What on earth is that”. It turns out it’s a letter from a fan who has bought a video from my Chaturbate account but because I have banned him, he cannot watch the video even he has paid for it. Now he has even asked for custom videos!
What has happened in my CB room? Why did I ban him?
In Chaturbate, whenever someone comes into your room, CB will announce it like this:
There is one line per joining.
I know you can change the setting for your chatroom so that CB will:
- Notify on entry when fans, moderators, and people with tokens
- Notify on entry for Mods and fans
- Not notify at all
I like to see who’s coming in so that I can greet them.
What happened was, this sexyviewer12345 came into my room every few seconds. Therefore my screen is stuffed full with:
sexyViewer12345 has joined the room.
sexyViewer12345 has joined the room.
sexyViewer12345 has joined the room.
sexyViewer12345 has joined the room.
sexyViewer12345 has joined the room….. for several screenfuls.
After two or three days like this, I decided to ban him from my room. It’s far too distracting.
After he realized that he has been banned, he found that he couldn’t even watch my dildo videos that he had bought before and so he searches for my online presence until he finally found my email address from my website.
I feel a bit sorry about banning him. But I can’t just unban one person. CB doesn’t allow that. I only have an option to clear ALL bans and silences. Oh well. I just left it at that, till he wrote to me and I have to unban everyone so as to ease his ban. (This is not true anymore. CB has changed the ban/unban interface and models can now permanently ban or short-term ban individual viewers.)
How long does a ban last
If you got silenced in the room, you can’t chat for 6 hours, but you will be able to chat again afterward. A ban by the model typically lasts for a month. Unless he/she really can’t stand you and will change that into a permanent ban; otherwise, one month after you were banned you will be allowed to see him/her and watch and chat again.
If you do get banned, please read my post about how to get yourself unbanned here.
One thought about banning and what’s purchased
There’s one thought. Even though I have banned someone, does it mean he cannot get to enjoy what he has purchased? I only want to stop the interaction with that person. Surely he is still entitled to watch my videos and see my pics as he has rightfully paid for them. What do you think?
That’s a rather stupid design to make model unban everyone. People do make mistake sometimes. No matter the model pressed the wrong button or the guy got drunk and said some stupid things, cb should allow the model to change it one by one, with a unban ALL option.
Smartaus, maybe you are not the only one who said the same thing. As of Jul 2019, Chaturbate has changed their banning and unbanning options for models.
By default, a banned user will be free again after one month, unless the model chose specifically as “permanently ban”. There’s good and bad of course. Banned users got a second chance to come back and be good. At the same time, banned pest got to come back again in a month to cause more trouble.
iam model my ac banned said pz unbanned pz help me
I presume you must have received an email from cb about what have you done wrong. Can you fix it and then apologize and ask them to unban it? Unless you have done something really bad…
Hi I really enjoy your topics, and I’ve been a male performer off and on for 15 years but I’m fairly new to Chaturbate and have a couple of questions about being a performer in CB. First you mentioned that other performers or viewers will come to your room and leave and come back again, and I have this problem with other female performers doing this to me and only the performers, what do they want me to do? Second is there a bot or someway to stop the performers that comes into my room, which I don’t mind but found out they are with a studio but they are watching other performers while they are in my room. I don’t appreciate this but I don’t want to block the region they are from because I do have fans from there area. And there’s around 20 of them that do this and it’s the early morning group also. Sorry about the length of this I’m still learning and would like to know. Thank you so much.
Hi Joseph, luckily the come and leave problem is rare.
As for stopping performers to come into your room, CB has nothing to stop this, frustratingly. You can utmost silence other “age-verified broadcasters” on the Settings tab next to the no. of users in your room. That’s about it. In your case, if they are watching the others then they are definitely not chatting or spamming your room.
Second thought though, having the other performers in your room (without sending spam) does increase the head count of your room. It may not be a bad thing overall.
Meanwhile, I will look around for bots and let you know if I find it. Have fun.

Hi Ailyn_p,
Sorry to hear that your account was closed for no reason. Have you ever written to the support? I know they can be busy and then their replies may fall in your spam folder. Do write to them again and try.
Meanwhile, check out this post of mine: https://www.honytsoi.com/cam-sites-that-provide-daily-payment/ It’s a good list of cam sites you may join and broadcast. Check them out.
Hello Chaturbate Support,
I confirmed there’s no such abuse or issues happening on me and what others claimed to me are not true. I am an independent account and followed the terms and policy of the site. I am aware that these people only wanted me to quit but I am passionate with what I am doing. I hope you can address this immediately and let me broadcast and access my account. I am genuinely begging to you to help me recover my account. My account has been suspended in June 15, 2022 and it’s been 15 days and I hope you would consider me to be part of the community. Thank you!
Maybe you can help me here. A model accidentally banned me. I could read in the public chat that she apologized for the mistake. Her name is Emilyycute and my username is profiler_xs. You can also ask the model if what I’m telling you is correct. Is there a way to remove the ban? She made the mistake on 09/05/22.
Thanks
Hi Daniel,
When I checked her profile she wasn’t online. Maybe I will try again tomorrow.
Hi Hony Tsoi
Good day Hony Tsoi. Please help me, How can I get my tokens in my banned account?
Are you a model, Jhanis? If so, it may be impossible unless you manage to prove that you haven’t violated the TOS and get your account unbanned. I have heard that even if the model has received fraudulent tokens or tips/tokens from a hacked account get banned. CB regards the model as an accomplice I guess.
If you are a customer, but if they think your account involves fraudulent activities, you won’t get your tokens back.
Hi ! I was receive ban for first time, my user is sheilamis. Many members are write on chat about pee and poo and that s Why i receive advertisment. I wasn t do this and can help me ?
Sorry to hear about that.
Whenever someone talks or requests prohibited topics in my room, I will kick and ban them immediately, and report to the support if it’s illegal. It’s just the right thing to do and also get my ass covered for not agreeing with their actions. I think all models should do that.
I am afraid you need to request the support to review the whole case so that they can see that you are not involved in encouraging them to talk about pee and poo. I have no influence on CB or connection to CB’s support so I am afraid I can’t help on this regard.
Do sign up with another cam site as backup for the worst to happen. Stripchat is very similar to CB in many ways so it’s a easy move to sign up with Stripchat. Do check out my post https://www.honytsoi.com/stripchat-fan-club-vs-onlyfans/ and jump to the second part to see the comparison between Onlyfans and Stripchat to give you some ideas.
I was banned for going in and out, my connection is buggy or my iMac is buggy and it drops me constantly for a minute and then connects. A cam thought I was doing it on purpose. I didn’t realize that that is annoying and is easily seen by the host. Oh well. Maybe in 3 months it will be fixed
Hi Jr, the ban should last for one month on CB, unless the model has set a permanent ban for you.
Meanwhile, if you log out as a guest, you can see the model’s room. But then you probably can’t interact with her because most models won’t let guest and grey users to talk.
Good luck.
My token still in. I cannot enter any room because been banned.
I asked one person after i noticed the same Background if they are sharing Setup and got banned from the room. LOL
Oops.. No big loss I hope. Yes, they are either friends and share the background or simply work in the same studio under different shift.
Any good latex cam you can recommend by the way? Does MyFreeCams wins on this topic too or Camcontacts which has many mistresses.
hello,
Firstly, thanks for taking time out of your days to provide people with help/answers. That is a cool thing you’re doing. Kudos. I have 3 unrelated questions you might be able to answer for me:
1) when a user is hovering over your “tile” (for lack of a better word .. the screen grab of you amongst all the others in a category).. if paying the $20 / month this allows to “preview” and see whats streaming. Do you, the model in said chatroom being previewed have it show that you are being previewed by member x? I broadcasted on another site and i know it would say things like “someone is watching” but wouldnt show who specifically .. wondering if this is how cb works also?
2) Are there bots that basically tell you which viewers are holding the most tokens and do they show exactly how many tokens or just like highlight with different color names like the purple are spending and holding, blue are spending less and holding light blue bought tokens … etc?
3) I was talking with a guy who swears up and down that he was hacked by models who when confronted actually admitted that she was able to see everything on his desktop and was reading from it verbatim as evidence. have you heard of this being possible and even increasingly common? with what is known about hacking this actually seems very doable especially given the OBS most models use .. open source can be a dual edged sword you know what i mean?
Anyway, thanks again and in advance for any insights you might have regarding these 3 questions .. Be safe out there in the digital jungle!
Hi @Justsomeguy, thanks for visiting my site. Interesting questions you have. Let me answer them one at a time. haha.
Your first question: Can a model tell if someone is watching her preview from the Who’s online page thumbnails?
Answer: No, if you only mouse over my thumbnails and see a live preview of my room, I won’t be informed. Models only know who is in her/his chatroom.
As for some other sites that said “Someone is watching”, to my understanding, this means someone may be using the invisible mode, for example in Stripchat or Bongacams and entered your room. But his name won’t appear on the viewer list. This invisible viewer will appear as a separate count.
As for the other questions, I have to fact-check some of them before I answer. Please come back and check my answer another day. Thanks.
@Justsomeguy, to answer your second question: Are there bots that tell models how many tokens a user has?
For Chaturbate, it never shows how many tokens a user has.
It always allows models to see the list of viewer by alphabetical order or sort by number of tokens. This means the users with more tokens will be listed at the top of the list, but model won’t know exactly how much the users have. But…
If a model’s boyfriend, loyal moderator, or other model friends who have token balance are in the same room, a model can ask how much they have and get an idea of a user she is targeted at. For example, if the boyfriend has 200 and her model friend has 1,200 tokens. They form a bracket to let the model see who has less than 200, who has more than 1,200 and who are in between. You see what I mean?
As for the color of the username, it just indicate at least how much a user has tipped in the last 2 weeks, or not tipped in 2 weeks. For example, a dark purple user has tipped at least 1,000 tokens in the last 2 weeks but we don’t know exactly how much. For more details of the color of username, check out my post https://www.honytsoi.com/chaturbate-faq/
The above answer is all about Chaturbate. And there ARE cam sites that let models to see how many tokens each user has, optionally some sites let the viewers to hide it and some don’t.
Bongacams and Stripchat both show viewers’ token balance to the models but Stripchat allows viewers to opt out. Maybe I shall compose a list of cam sites that do or don’t show the balance. That will be interesting. Though it will be limited by the fact that I need to have a model account and be able to broadcast so as to fact-check myself. Stay tuned. I will get to it.
@Justsomeguy, to answer your third question: Can a model see/hack a viewer so that she can see his screen on his desktop?
It can be done only through 1) an accidentally mistake by the viewer or 2) social engineering/lie to lure the viewer to click the “Share screen” on Skype or alike platform; otherwise, NO.
First of all, OBS connects model’s stream to a server. Model has to specify a cam site’s RTMP server to broadcast to, with her RTMP key. It is not a peer-to-peer connection with the viewer. Models broadcast to the server of cam sites. If you watch a model on CB, Stripchat, Flirt4free, Bongacams and many many other cam sites’ public chat or even private shows, you are all safe.
If you go for a Skype show or any other platforms that allow screen sharing, say, Zoom and Discord, then it is possible that:
1. He has accidentally clicked the “screen sharing” without knowing, or
2. Model claims that she can’t see him unless “he shares his screen” which is bullshit.
