Zinah, good idea about the busy option. but there is a little problem……not all the users set their country! maybe for privacy, maybe cause they are so lazy and don't wanna do it and at last there are peoples who need mopre space on profile like me.

Gently reiterates: 

• I included the language/country options because they were mentioned somewhere in the thread already.
• If they were to be offered, the dev team would have to make some changes.  (Off the top of my head, country and preferred language in a drop down menu while simultaneously providing more space for personal details.)

As a well mannered free user, I object strongly to being singled out just because I'm not a paying member! Spending money on the game is no measure of one's ability or intent to be an obnoxious prick.  Also, the “Ignore Free Users” button, implies that there is no contact nor relationships between paying and non-paying members.  No premium members have friends, lovers or a spouse that's a free member.  Hmmm.  Really?

Here's a hypothetical situation:

Premium member:  Hi, I'm a new premium, what can you tell me?
Me (a  free user):  Oh hi, nice to meet you.  Well, what do you want to know?
Premium member: ~waiting for the response but because he's new and doesn't know better, has “ignore all free users” enabled, gets no message back from me~
Me (a free user):  ~thinking “Huh, why'd he ask if he didn't want an answer?”  Moves on~
Premium member:  Geeze, couldn't even be bothered to answer?  Thanks for the friendly welcome!
Me (a free user):  ~thinking “&*&^% ignore free user button!”~

Moving on.

I'd like to expand upon Hb's list.

• Ignore everyone, very useful (as many have already indicated), when changing clothes.
• Accept messages from Friends/lovers/Spouse only.   Useful for when you don't want to deal with a bunch of strangers.
• Accept messages from “X language/Country only.”  (I toss this in because folks have mentioned it, however, with the translators, I get some crazy, albeit English messages that I might have otherwise avoided, but the Dev team could tweak things if they wish, so it's makes the list.)
• Ignore all invites, because sometimes you only want to talk to people.
• Accept invites from Friends/Lovers/Spouse only, because as we can all attest, being spammed for sex by strangers, is annoying as hell!
• Accept invites from X country/language only, because not having to translate your scenes makes things so much easier, accurate, passionate and fun! (again, the Dev team would have some extra work to make this a reality, but folks wanted it so, again, on the list.)

No, I am not willing to include “Ignore Free Users” as a viable option. I don't suck just because I don't pay for the game.  Also, there was some discussion about forcing opinions/behaviors upon another, earlier in this thread.  I posit that the current method “forces” me to pay so I can talk to my premium friends when they are using that button (I accept that it's a viable business model from Achat's point of view, no argument) OR It forces premium members to give up relationships with their free user friends/lovers or spouse if they regularly use that button, because we could never talk   The button, in it's current form, is in my humble, free user opinion, a bad model.

~sighs and gets out the cookies, cake and ice cream~  Eat sugar and play nice.

Now then.

You know, I have never, in my year+ on AChat stopped to check if the moron who sends me “Hey bb u r hawt wanna room?” is a free or premium member.  I've never once cared, because it's not about how much they pay AChat, but about the fact that they are being uncouth jackasses and lazy as fuck and that approach indicates I want nothing to do with them, ever.  My only effort after I get a line like that is to slap an ignore on them and move along with my day.  Nor have I ever, ever stopped to check if the string of uninvited, cold invites to room from complete strangers, are premium or free members.

What's more annoying to me?  Having invite after invite appear on my screen when I'm playing with clothes, or chatting with friends.  Blocking invites is far more useful, in my opinion, than blocking messages.  This may encourage people to engage, hopefully in a mature and coherent fashion, in conversation that leads naturally to rooming, rather than just spamming people with invites and hoping to get lucky, while pissing off strings of people, premium and free both, in the process.  I can ignore a line or two in the middle of my conversation.  If it's bad or funny enough, it may even add some amusement to that conversation and no clicking involved on my part.  However, that damn count down window over and over again, that I either have to watch tick away or click upon to clear,  is both an eyesore and a nuisance.

A for pity's sake, please PUH LEASE, I BEG of you.

Get rid of every version of “Tongue Play” 

I would gladly trade that face for an embrace, or a kiss, or a mere fondle.

Zinah I have nothing against the upgrade options for the “Busy State”,for my own part  can be many more choices -different types of ..

I'm somewhat confused by this comment. 
I don't want to ignore free users, as I did not renew my premium account, I am a free user now.
To be more clear, I voted for option 3:  Change “ignore free users” to “Ignore cold invites”
I'd like the option, were I to take premium again in the future, to avoid “cold invites” from complete strangers.  My preference therefore, is to change the “ignore all free users” to “ignore all invites from people not on my “friends/lovers” list.

[Zinah]

I should have the option to ignore invites from people not on my friends/lovers list.  That means that my darling may invite me without me doing some clicking madness, but everyone else is stopped cold.

Make clothing changes, add piece, or remove piece accessible while inside a room.

The best Mod is the person at the keyboard.  In other words:  Mod yourself so they don't have to.

Not to be a complete piggy, because I already have two ideas up there, but why is the “Punished Girl (Edited)” not available for voting?

[Zinah]

If you haven't already done so.
Completely uninstall the product.
Check for any remaining files, including the folder where it installed, and delete those as well. 
Restart the computer.
Do a quick check for any remaining files, if you find them, delete and restart a second time.  Otherwise
Reinstall the program.
Prior to using the Achat for the first time,  restart the computer.
Open the game and see if it works correctly.
Close the game and then Open it a second time.

“You can whinge all you like about OTHER FORUMS DON'T ALLOW WHAT GOES ON HERE but you miss the point that this is a sexual fantasy site where people come to enjoy themselves, this is not a forum run on it's own as a site set up purely as a forum.”

To be clear, I left the forums because things had gotten, in my mind, out of hand  The forums ceased to be enjoyable for me.  I came to this thread because I heard the topic had been opened up and was being addressed. 

Responses like the above however, make it clear change will not happen.

Be well.

The “I'm going to take my toys and go home”, attitude of several of the respondents, rather than looking at the points objectively and finding ways to discuss the issue, is disappointing.  The entire point of the OP is to do for ourselves, what, if AChat had a larger mod team, would be done for us. NO other forum I attend permits the level of OT bloat in their threads that has occurred here.  I had already left and decided I wasn't going to renew my premium status.  I only scene with one person, and as we don't have server-wide/general chat, the forums were what bought me back day after day and the forums have changed into something that for me, was unappealing.
