Spending time on the site today I can tell that most members who have a relationship with their favorite model can no longer flirt with whispers which is how the connection started.
There are also members that have preferences that don't need to be seen by other members in open chat that the models seem more than willing to do. Not being able to ask or talk about things in open chat are going to drive those members away. It also has always felt like to me that most of the regulars members who do spend money with their favorite model(s) always start their chats with whispers; with that gone; it feels like those members will not talk as much and may or may not spend as much. Just my opinion -- would love to know my fellow members think.
Perhaps just giving the ability to models to turn on or off the whisper feature can be worked out from a tech stand point? Perhaps just giving VIP members the option too is another option?
While I 100% agree with having a great open chat environment and enjoy making small talk and having fun with other members and the models in conversations; I think there are more downsides than upsides to taking away whispers from members.

Well for those who have not "regular" requests for privates - there is messaging system.
Whisperring for VIP-s only? Well, I had many vips who were abusing that option too
I would say - let's turn whisperring on to "accepted" people. Like - you have to "earn" for being able to whisper. I would love to have some whispers with my beloved friends - and for those I would turn whisperring on. For those "not verified" yet - I would leave messages and privates
Let's observe "no whispering time" - maybe it will teach us something?
Thank you VS for testing something which can fix problem of abusing whispers.
