do they offer the same features as other dating sites, they go a step further
with live video and webcam chat.
What is Date Mail?
Date Mail is the date cam.com email messaging system. It allows members to create,
send, and read correspondence throughout the site. Date Mail organizes your correspondence
in an easy to manage set of tools. By default the system sends you an email receipt
if you have received Date Mail from another member. Sending and receiving DateMail
is a premium
service.
Can I "ignore" a member who is sending me Date Mail?
The option to ignore a member who is sending you Date Mail is in the ignore list
tab of your Date Mail. Members on your ignore list cannot send you Date Mail,
nor can they join you in your personal channel. To take someone off your ignore
list
select "remove" from your options menu.
Why are some members names in orange, and other member names are in
gray?
If a member is highlighted in the chat list in orange, it indicates they are
broadcasting a live stream. Members in gray are chatting, but not broadcasting
video.
What are Channels?
A date cam channel is a chat room for live chat. Each member has their own channel.
To invite members to join your channel for live chat, simply add them to your
contact list. This will allow them to join your channel the next time you are
online. To see a list of members who are chatting live, go to "Live Chat" and
select See all currently active public channels . To join a member in their room,
simply choose "Request a Chat" from their profile page. When the member
adds you to their Contact List, you will be notified via DateMail, and a link
to their channel will appear in the Live Chat section the next time they are
chatting
live.
What is the difference between a "public" and
a "private" channel?
Your personal date cam.com channel has privacy settings. One setting is "public",
the other setting is "private". If your channel is set to "public" any
member who is not on your ignore list may join you in chat when you are online.
If your channel is set to "private" only members in your contact list
may join you in chat when you are online. You may toggle between these two settings
at any time.
Can I kick people out of my personal date cam.com channel?
When you are in your private channel, you are the "operator". This
means you have the ability to "kick" members out of your channel should
the need arise. To kick a member out of your channel, highlight their screen
name,
select "actions", and choose "kick" from the expanded menu.
The "ignore" feature is also available should you choose to simply
ignore them. Please remain in your channel for the duration of your chat. System
alerts will be delivered to you in the chat, so there is no need to leave. If
you care to check your DateMail while you are in your personal chat channel,
simplyDateMail in a new window.
