Subject: RE: BS: Paltalk Room Charges
My thanks go to Noreen, Jon for pointing out your miss reading. I must admit I was a little confused she also sent me a message that although did not go into any detail was enough for me to work out why this is such a sensitive issue. I must admit it's a bit of a worry as one of the downsides to my dyslexia are the problems that I have proof reading my own writing. A missed word can change my whole meaning! So I'm going to read this carefully before posting it. We both seem to be on the same side Jon your last posting 05.46 AM explained that.

Its all very well someone else saying "F*** Em" but it dose little to save all the hard work that has gone into setting up the Mudcat Rooms by yourself Jon. Opened or Locked it is Paltalk who would seem (to me) to be breaking a contracted with all its (not just Mudcater's) the people using the Paltalk service. Are there any Mudcat Lawyers who could look at the situation for free to make the position clear.

The best solution long term could be that the Mudcat Café has its own conferencing text and Voice facility. That would also support Apple Mac users! I have no idea just what that would involve from any angle cost, work etc. but at least in setting one up we could put in place some sort of guarantee. But for now we just have to decide if its worth the extra effort getting Paltalk to take some notice that the majority are not HAPPY! With this turn of events!

I had not even thought about the temptations that there pop up gambling add could place on people. I do however agree with you that it would be better not to have to look at them! Would paying for the service so that Paltalk would remove all adds solve this? Or would Paltalk be allowed to reinstate them, due to their need to generate cash moving the Goal Posts again, at some later date? There should be some watchdog to place some restrictions on Paltalk somewhere to guarantee some protection to its consumers.

I still favour consumer power lets organise a protest Room on a given time and date. Inviting all Paltalk users to let their feeling known on mass to Paltalk. I could be fun! So dust out your protest songs and Rap's is what I say!

PS Hi nutty! I hope that the Paltalk Help room is not like some in the UK that charge! They seem to not only be of little help in putting right problems that may have been caused by their company in the first place. This just helps them to make money out of there own errors!
