@CentralFLCuddle I love it! It simplifies it in case they come to me again, I can’t quite remember them, that note comes in handy!
Imo, 15% charge to cuddlers is too high and ultimately the customer pays for it due to pros charging more to cover costs. A flat fee imo would be more fair to pros and clients. Not likr cuddle comfort is closing deals and therefore earning commission. I wouldn't be opposed to advertising on the site for them to make money. I usually feel obligated to pay extra on top of tipping to help offset the 15% fees imo the site in itself is just a very large profile page and doesn't warrant taking such a big bite out of cuddlers fees.
+1 to the above from @warmsoftsnuggle It's very reasonable to charge a booking fee of 15% for the first hour of each booking to the pro. But the site isn't doing anything that adds value to the pro or the client that justifies charging 15% for additional hours.
Either allow all discrimination or no discrimination. I've read professional profiles that discriminate based on age and others based on who someone might have voted for in elections. Others stated that they would prioritize or give discounts based on various identities. If that's what they want that's their choice, I suppose, because I don't know the legality of it. Regardless, to allow the advertising of some types of discrimination but not others doesn't seem fair. Also, those who advertise discrimination should not state in their profiles that they are non-judgemental and non-discriminatory.
@snugbuddy if I'm not mistaken there is a clause about discrimination in the contractors (pros) agreement. Offensive profiles can be reported. Omnipotence isn't a super power any of us have though.
The homepage for becoming a pro says that you have to be "accepting of all ages, races, gender ..." etc. In the male cuddler contract, anyway, I could not find any mention of discrimination at all, beyond saying that you have to follow all local, state and federal laws. Political views are not a legally protected category that I am aware of.
I don’t know if it has been mentioned before but I think CC should open up more globally, or at least partner with or recommend some international cuddling sites. That way you can meet up with pros while you’re in France or in Japan for example.
@disneysamurai Not sure CC would want to recommend sites if it has no control over their content.
Read receipts for messages sent
I don't know if this has been mentioned before or not, but I wish professional cuddlers had some sort of "P" badge next to/ or overlayed on their profile picture. Similar to a Twitter or Instagram verification badge. I hate clicking on someone's profile and not knowing they're professional cuddler until after I'm on their page. Now, here they are in my inbox,"I noticed you visited my page, would you like to book a session??" I wish I could know upfront who's a professional cuddler so I know not to click on their page
@TableSpoon
Bottom right corner there is a pink P
I think he means here in message boards or when you’re at the section where you can see people that look at your profile, you don’t know if they are pro or not.
@Sheena123 Ah gotcha . Yes that makes sense. It doesn't necessarily bother me cus y'all all my peeps here but I can see where that would be annoying if you are seeking to converse with pro vs non pro
an app with notifications. I did the webapp and allowed notifications, but I haven't been getting them.
Knowing the price history or changes to offering price for a cuddler would help.
@yashas How so? Seems like what matters is what they are charging now.
@WarmEmbraceNat I think everyone agrees on #2. Under TOS, a member who is banned is not allowed to make a new profile, but it does happen. I assume CC does not have a way to ban based on IP address.
@WriterGF which is why they should have to upload their license the same way a pro does when creating a profile. So when you are banned, unless you create one with a fake id then you’re banned for life. To many times have had people make unwanted sexual advances. Get banned only to message and say I’ll be back in your inbox and you’ll never who which one I am.
@WarmEmbraceNat they are still able to message you after they get banned? That doesn't seem right. Seems once they are banned they shouldn't be permitted to have access to you.
@Immersedwarmth They're creating new accounts, that's how they are messaging her.
@WarmEmbraceNat Your idea has a lot of merit, but CC will never do it. If they started insisting on that kind of ID, membership in general would plummet because a lot of people on here are concerned about anyone having any idea they are members and I don't think anyone has that much faith in site security. They could easily insist on it on the basis of proof of age, but I doubt they will. The other option is to block people by IP address, but I don't know what goes into that. You're absolutely right that more needs to be done.
Maybe it’s just me, but locally this website feels so dead. It’s almost like being a needle in a haystack
@WriterGF Ah. The way it's written sounds like they are telling her this before they get banned. I knew about the new accounts. Thanks.
I absolutely would love people seeking providers to have to upload their ID and work ID/verification as screening before they’re even allowed to search anyone. This would prevent gr@pe, abusers, creeps just trying to get hard, and just entitled people.
Second, we as providers should get to rate or leave comments about clients. Our safety is at risk most as we’ve little to no recourse if abused. If someone has an unsafe experience that should be made known to potential victims as they can keep making profiles with fake emails etc.
Section removed. Gender/orientation stereotyping isn't allowed. -Stormy
@Marm I'm not fully aware of the life of a pro, but aren't two of the three things you mentioned within your power? You can require I'd from your potential clients, and you could decline taking on straight men as clients. Is this not the case?
the idea of blocking has been coming up in a lot of forums. and i think it's animportant feature.
I wish there was one step down from there.
Sometimes I've looked at a profile and determined this person would not be a great match (because of one of many many reasons from distance, to some kind of statement they've made in their profile that I found off putting, whatever).
I'd like to be able to keep them from showing up in my searches again. To block them seems strange cause they haven't actually done anything to me to warrant that.
@mauvefox Well, all blocking really does is keep them from looking at your profile and messaging you. Unless you think these are people you want messages from, might as well block them.
@mauvefox
I would like the opposite of blocking. Like a magnet that draws multiple people throughout the course of the day to visit my profile against their will, as though they are in the process of being abducted by aliens
@pmvines I hear wearing tinfoil hats does that. You should try. 😅 report back.
@stormydaycuddle no no. Tinfoil hats do the opposite of that. Tinfoil gloves maybe attract aliens? Or people? @pmvines which is preferable for you. 🤷♀️
