I host live rooms and I don't like that INVU asks people to Tip The Host. I didn't make the room to make money. I did it so people can enjoy it and have fun. Asking for a tip seems like I am begging for your credits and it's not neccesary. Plis tipping in real life has gotten out of hand and people are upset about it. It just seens to be in poor taste.

Of all the public chatrooms I have visited none of them had any tipping feature to donate credits to owners of the chatrooms. The closest thing resembling tipping I have experienced in public chatrooms is when some visitor sends one or more gifts to the chatroom owner or other folk in the chatroom.
I own a public chatroom and I know it doesn't have a tipping feature because yesterday I asked 3 of my friends if they were presented with a option to tip me. Because of their surprise that I would ask such a question I told them I had seen this thread in the IMVU Forum. Their reaction was to tell me not to believe everything that folk post in Forums which I agreed with.
Is this tipping feature something that is being Alpha Tested and only applies to a few selected chatrooms?
Such a feature should be optional and part of the public chatroom creation setup where the owner could activate the feature by clicking a button to allow tipping.
Depending on the reason a chatroom is created then having such options could be useful; especially if the chatroom is open to the general public. Even tips paid with promo credits would be useful.
We didn't join IMVU to pay real life money for chatroom slots, pay thousands of credits and invest countless hours of valuable time to decorate chatrooms just to entertain strangers whom seldom show appreciation.
Furthermore having a chatroom open to the general public / strangers often puts stress and hardships on the chatroom owners and their friends; especially the mods. This is because of the unpleasant drama that follows every time some inconsiderate idiot or attention seeking troll visits the chatroom. Mods of chatrooms whom actually do their job should be paid a fair wage for all the BS they have to put up with. This is because they often have to give warnings and explain basic things like social etiquette or what KBs are.
Because of basic human nature it's a potential problem if mods boot without warning or don't provide room owners screenshot evidence every time they boot someone. Mods should always document their police actions with evidence to make sure they are being fair, honest and unbiased; especially when they boot someone.
Let's not forget that those whom get warnings or booted will often try to create problems by getting all their friends to message chatroom owners with bogus stories about mods that misuse power. Often attention seeking trolls can get clout and popularity from the mob of drama lovers that have saturated public chatrooms these past few years. These attention seeking trolls are often experts at testing how much they can get away with when challenging the outermost limits of room rules and testing the patience of fair and unbias mods whom actually do their job in a proper way. The mob of drama lovers that saturate many public chatrooms feed on watching expert trolls in action. Such trolls often have a massive following, especially of mobile users who feed on drama.
Any tip a chatroom owner or mod could get would most likely be well deserved.
