as a newer member on here (but certainly not new to the business) I love the idea of the chat room.
But I have to agree with some of the posts that if the cam is not on, its not on for a reason.
That reason could be anything, someone else in the room, just stepped out of the shower, etc, and I do believe it disrespectful to ask someone without the cam on, to turn it on.
I also agree with being polite. I will say hello upon entering the room, and if someone is private chatting to me, I am very respectful and polite. If I have to leave the room, I say so, as I do have other things to do.
I like this site so far and would welcome the opportunity to utilize it more.
