agree with almost everything

one thing however i don't agree with is the "camera is broken" idea. i'm a college student with a broken camera and i barely make rent payments i can't afford to fix it. granted i do have a camera phone but not everyone does as you say. i personally have 3 friends that don't.

I totally agree with this.

One more thing to add is if someone is on webcam and they never do much and they keep on saying no to standing up etc they maybe on replay.

I have had this before when someone just aims there cam at a video they have recorded of someone else on webcam.

I have been conned recently by one of the "fakes" when i was new to the site. This may have already been discussed, but i just wanted to say it anyway. I got an email asking me to sign up to sites like "amateurmatch.com" etc FREE so they could find me and talk to me. It sends you emails then from other fake girls that you cannot reply to unless you pay a premium rate to join, and then they stop talking to you. Its all one big scam. Luckily i got suspicious and googled it low and behold it is. So watch out any potential slaves!

Wow. The lengths people will go to constantly amaze me. I would suggest having the person go on webcam and create a sign with whatever you want written in it, as a simple picture can be easily photoshopped.

Yeah it is a very good post however I'd like to add a few comments here...

Not so sure to having a kind of over-skeptical approach is the best way to start off in any kind of D/s relationships. When I was searching I've had some folks asking me every 2 mins "are you really a girl" so much so that they just annoyed me & I moved on. You must take into consideration that time is your friend and also that perhaps the person you're talking to has had a few fakes contacting them as well in the past too...

There just as many fake Masters out there for example. I remember one who managed to come up with 3 different nationalities & 2 different ages in a week when I chatted with him last year

This is unlikely, especially if they are seriously thinking of starting a D/s, T or D, or any other such relationship with someone

I have never had or used a digital camera before december of last year although I've been involved in online M/s stuff before that. So saying that someone is lying if they say they don't have a camera or pics of themselves on the net sounds a bit exaggerated to me

Hmm yeah I remember replying to you about something like that. And what I said exactly was that it would have been preferable to post a thread instead of replying to another person's post in the main s/m area which is for advertising and not about discussions like here. It had nothing to do with your opinion but rather where you chose to post it. Sorry if there was any... ermm... "misunderstanding"...
