I feel the amount of adds from cam sites and other scamers would decrease. I came to the number 3 because I know a few couples that have 3 profiles. One as a couple, and the other two as a dominant and submissive. Do you think it would help?

Status: offline 		Now, are you asking about 3 from the same ISP, or three on the same IP? If it's ISP, as you stated, then, absolutely not. I know at least 8 people on this site who use the same ISP as I do.

If you're talking about IP addresses, then it would be kind of pointless anyway, as, anyone with a router in their home can assign IP addresses to the individual computers in a matter of seconds, literally. Or even switch them at will. So, either way, I think it would cost more time and effort and money than it would be worth in the long run for CM to even bother with such an endeavor.

Status: offline 		No, it's an automatic difference for those who are poly and have more people than that in their households.  A couple could easily have four profiles if they were both switches who prefer to each maintain both a Dom/me and sub profile.  Five if they also wanted a couple profile as well.  Why should they be penalized by being charged a rate when other people are free?

Do I think it would 'help'?  No, I don't.  If people can't tell which profiles aren't compatible with them and have the sense to hide those profiles, that's their own problem.

Status: offline 		Clearly, the OP is trying to punish some sort of activity.

OP, please rewrite - maybe start a new thread - with a poll that indicates WHAT behavior you think should be punished.

So far, it seems nobody thinks a "charge" would be effective against multiple profiles.  The other impression I get is clearly one of a charge would be inappropriate.

ETA: The system itself could PREVENT the behavior you're trying to punish..... so we really need a definition of that behavior.

How about a poll on what we think of people who don't know the difference between HAVE and OF.

Status: offline 		I'm not the computer geek here, and Hanners isn't here to give the details, but we use one of the two major ISPs available in Ontario, probably 40% of the members from Ontario use the same ISP, so no, a really dumb idea.

As far as IP addresses go, I'm not entirely sure how one does it, but Hanners assures me that she can change our IP address with a single click of the mouse. So limiting it that way won't work either.

Status: offline 		No it shouldn't, because its a flawed concept altogether. First of all there is no such thing as an ISP address, so I am assuming that you mean IP address , If that is the case, then as several people have pointed out, they can be easily changed.

First of all, IP addresses can be easily changed, either through various software, by typing a few commands from your keyboard or even by unplugging your modem for a period of time (how long depends on your ISPs DHCP procedures). 

Second, almost all ISPs now use dynamic addressing (DHCP), which means that they do not assign an IP to you permanently, so the one you have today may not be one you have tomorrow. 

Third, some ISPs who have a shortage of addresses use a forwarding proxy system, whereby multiple people use the same IP at the same time. 

And fourth, IP s can easily be masked as well. 

For all of the above reasons, it just doesn't work in today's day and age. 
Hope that answers your question.
 Oh, and BKSir, the IPs assigned by almost all routers are internal IPs and are not visible beyond the router. The ISP assigns an IP to the modem, and that is what is seen on the Internet (unless you mask it of course )

Technically true, but in effect no. The more members (i.e. profiles) the more they can charge to run the ads...see how that works?

Do your basic premise is that collarme has a revenue target in mind and if they get it from profiles, they will decrease the number of ads because they don't want to earn too much money?

And I have refused all sorts of raises because I don't want to make too much money either.
