Id say no, they should NOT stay away. This is a place that should be fun for everyone, even broke-ass fools (like me! ).
I think the one thing most models would ask of someone with no credits is that they not request or beg for something for which others would normally pay. Quote

As others have said, people who cannot tip shouldn't request things others are paying for. Having said that, hanging around in open chat is a different thing. There are many ways to contribute to open chat, and one of them is by just being you and being there. Helping make a room a place others want to visit and hang out in provides a huge benefit since some will tip or go private, and the only reason they may be there is because they enjoyed the conversation that you were a part of. I know some of the models you visit and I equally know they are sincere when they say they want you in there. Quote
As far as I am concerned that is what defines a great model from those that quickly fizzle. Models who simply sit there and look pretty get dull very quickly. I enjoy a little eye candy as much as anyone else, but I like my candy to be sweet and tasty, not just sticky and tempting.
Feel free to stop by my chat room any time you like.
Cheers,
Jonathan

Freeloaders sometimes have credits, too. It's not a matter of how much you give, but your thought process in giving it.
It's one part in a spectrum of behaviors present all over Flirt4Free and the internet as a whole. Some people, and maybe not even some people, but, rather, people SOMETIMES see cyberspace communication as a way to let their insecurities run wild.
You are not one of those people, PJ. If you're here for positive fun that makes you happy and gets your rocks off, then you're alright in my book. That's the purpose of this website.

I cannot afford to buy credits either. I enjoy the company of many of the models (Izzi, Derek, Demonte Jonathan, Andretti to name but a few) they all know my situation and are fine with it. I really appreciate that. There is also a benefit that goes with it and that is earning "boost points" and it's my opinion that they count just as much as tipping does. I send them to the models and hope that helps them just as much as a tip does. Quote

Boost points are just part of the flirt game , they help a model a little bit in terms of where they show in the main pages and as a small part of the rankings , BUT they in no way count as much as actual tipping or pvts . credits/tips = Actual Earnings for the model , Boost points are just part of the game with a very minimal redeption value for the model.

I can not always afford to buy credits. But I still visit the models chat rooms and the ones who know me don't mind. I never make a request though unlesss I tip. Sometimes I make joke requests but only with models who know me & know I'm just kidding. I think if only members who can afford credits all the time were the only ones alowed in the rooms well, there would be a lot less chat and it would be a lot less interesting Quote

I don't know if it is worth adding that the site is called Flirt4Free, that VS positively encourage chat in the rooms and a lot of the rooms are open to gray users - who can't tip.
The freeloader issue seems to come into play in Party Chat. Models always know that when they offer Party Chat many members, with or without credits, will not tip because they can see the show for free. However, this is much less emotive now that models have the option of Group Chat.
Jake rightly mentioned that non-tippers shouldn't make show-for-tip type requests, and Izzi mentioned that non-tippers shouldn't demand that models respond to big tips from other tippers. (I think Annie made the same point in another topic).
Can I add that I really dislike it when non-tippers use the Lets Tip and other large emoticons. The worst case I encountered was when a non-tipper used Lets Tip about 10 times in Party Chat and repeatedly wiped off all the tips and the model's targets from the screen. When we tip, I think we all like the model and others to see it. It can also encourage more members to tip. These unpopular emoticons often have the opposite result. Just my Quote
