"Even though there are some definite drawbacks to whispering we understand both the desire and the need for the functionality. Starting today we have updated the system to allow whispering for VIP members only. Further, to avoid confusion we are requiring that whispers only be sent when the VIP member is logged into the chat using the gold font color."
First, let me say that I was happy with the ban on whispers. Now that whispers have been reinstated for VIP members, I've encountered many rooms where the models just types away at the invisible man, same as before. Nothing was solved with this reinstatement for VIP members only, except for alienating the non-VIP members who want whispers back. To be honest, this is the worst PR blunder I've seen to date. If Flirt is going to allow VIP members to whisper, all should have that function, because the issue was not solved by allowing only VIP members to whisper. Next idea? How about only VIP members can see the live video while the rest only have a chat transcript? Is this being disussed? lol. Come on guys, you've got to admit this was a blunder. Either disable whispers for all, or enable it for all, that's my opinion.
