Thread Name: BS: Paltalk Room Charges
Subject: RE: BS: Paltalk Room Charges
Sorry Jon I was typing out my last thread as you posted! I'm a bit slow at Typing and spell checking.

You maybe right and that Paltalk will consider us very small fry! However you must never underestimate the Power of the consumer. In the UK it was consumer power that forced the UK Banks to remove the charges for using ATM machines. The whole country was nearly brought to a stop last year over the Price of Petrol and Diesel.

So here are some questions If Paltalk do not care about the customers should we still use their service? How many other Paltalk Rooms will this change affect? How many people who have just been asked to pay for a pop up and Banner Free access to Paltalk are going to like Paltalk closing Quality Rooms? Or Pay for access in future? If we did pay for a locked room how many why would want see the 24 hour a day pop UP's and banners that people are paying not to see?

How would Paltalk like this discussion to be in an open room on Paltalk. If it was organised so that the maximum number of Paltalk users from Mudcat (and other room administrators who could be invited to take part) all met for the possibly the worlds first international virtual protest March on a given Day and time? (submit sugestions for a good name for the room here please.One that will get the message across and bring even more people into the room.)

If Paltalk have now got a Monopoly on this kind of site then surly as consumers (if you pay or if you do not pay you are a consumer by viewing there Pop UP's) there must be some organisation to give protection to us the consumer.

Please do not get too despondent I still sing some of the 60's protest songs even it they still seem to fall on deaf ears.

I can't wait to see how many Mudcater's we could invite to protest on Paltalk. The Mudcat Snug may be down the list with 10 to 15 Caters. But a well organised crowed Room should get the Virtual Protest March to the top of the list and Noticed. Now how did that song go? We shall not! We shall not! We shall not pay a fee………………
