In section 14 of chaturbate’s ToS (tipping) it states the following : c) “Tips are a voluntary gratuity and may not be given in exchange for specific services. Promising to give a tip in exchange for performance of any specific act is strictly prohibited. Such conduct will result in an immediate and lifetime ban from use of the Service. ” This makes it sound like everyone that ever tipped for a flash (or any specific request) is eligible for a life time ban. Am I reading it wrong?

This question has been asked to Support for a clarification of this.

But my understanding, tips are seen as gifts. ‘Promising’ a performer that you’ll tip a certain amount of tokens for something in exchange from the performer can be deemed as against the rules.

But if a performer has a ‘tip menu’ or a app / bot running & a user sends tokens for a certain act, this would be classed as not against the terms as you are not ‘promising’ to send tokens in exchange for an act.

Once Support have answered the Question this answer will be updated.

EDIT

Support have now answered with the following answer:

This will confirm that demanding anything in return for tips,
whether before or after tipping, is prohibited and may subject your
account to termination. As stated in our terms, tipping is a voluntary
gratuity. You should tip if you feel like it, don’t tip if you don’t
feel like it, and never expect anything in return for a tip.

Thanks,

Support
