True. But I figure if they've complimented me by joining my site in the past, I'll still recognize that they're special in my book and give their emails preferential treatment, whether they are current members or not

Lol exactly, I don't mind if someone has become a member in the past, I still give them preferential treatment, although I hope they join again

I'm sorry you are having this problem. I try to answer emails on a regular daily basis but there are times that life tends to get in the way and it may be a few days. I like to get to know my fans and members altho a few have gotten pretty persistent on wanting to know where I live exactly and gotten on the possessive side. I turn these over to my BF to handle, as I strive for my privacy and would appreciate that respect. My fans are as important as my members, as they may become members later on; I don't discriminate but draw the line when I feel too much info is being asked.

I answer as a many emails as often as possible. Some have gone to my spam folder but I found them and answered but got a rude reply even though I apologized for taking so long. It was less than week. There have been a few fans who send messages in the double digets a day. Using email like texts. Wanting to chat, turn it into sexting and get off that way. Then get offended when I inquire about membership or sending me gifts for services rendered. These specific people had a month or 2 memberships then cancelled but continued to message. They also BCC the same message to other Charms. So it is casting a wide net approach. I have stopped replying to these messages and they have slowed down. Many of the Charms are here to have fun, I assume, but others are here to make a living, put food on the table or pay rent. It is work and a business so sometimes focus has to be on specific tasks. There are also times when life just gets full of technical glitches, a hectic day job, illness and every other thing imaginable under the sun. All fans and members are important to the Charms and we do our best to keep them happy.

Awww I am sorry to hear that! Life does get in the way sometimes! I have heard a lot of charms have member only emails and only respond to members! I also know my email sends some messages to my spam folder! I have been so busy lately. I have been slacking on replying! I have been house shopping, setting up at flea markets, mowing yards on the side! So When I am home I am sleeping! I dont have internet on my cell phone! Maybe similar situations to them as well! Try messaging them here or sending a new email! Spam and lots of emails it may be over looked!

As far as emails goes I do try to answer my mail as well but sometimes not as lengthy as my fan would like ... They must remember we get tons of emails every single day and sometimes it get lost, I even tried putting a code on each update in the members section for when they write I would know they are current member but some of them was confused by this so I stopped! Another thing is fans sends us several emails after you rely to the 1st one, so it's hard to get caught up!
Yes, current members do get 1st priority over a nonmember if they state they are a member in subject title.
I for one have been very busy the past few months with personal stuff that assumes you, but I do try to answer my mail and post every week for my members will not feel cheated. I just want to say if you are a fan I totally appreciate all of my fans who pays for memberships.

A lot of good points here. Myself, I've been a member of many charms, shot as a guest with a few, and chatted and e-mailed with many. I never counted on a response, but I would say a good, at least, 75% have responded and many quite a few times and have made many great friends and photo shoot companions as well. Personally, I do like to make e-mail contact with and have some conversation before joining for the main point of knowing they are still active and updating. I had a few new-bees I joined over time that did the first three updates and looked great and then never did any more...but that is the rare exception. I also joined one that never updated and I was just in huge admiration of her body, but she had already done 400+ updates, so there is no complaint when they have the beautiful pictures there. All in all, it is a great bonus to get responses from these beautiful ladies and the greatest response to meet some and shoot with them.

i absolutely agree with you...i got the same troubles,and im not offensive or requesting some of special or unappropriate...My idea is that many charms are only some mail box with a collection of pics perhaps video...I think the contact with the fans opinion is mutually important...and id suggest to mention all the charms who avoid contacts with the fans,by name or nickname...
