I wouldn't let them know that I was/am a voyeur to their apartment, but I can imagine me being at their door and telling them to turn down that darned music, if it was again 1AM - 4AM and them playing that music as loud as per usual. I can only imagine the sleep deprivation their next door neighbors suffer from - especially Barca 2, which seems to be a regular apartment with neighbours right on the other side of the walls, floor and ceiling. And that bass thump carries long further than just the next apartment.

Large mirror there would be a good idea, true. Especially if the Living room cameras were adjusted a bit (direction or placement).

Well, you're right, there doesn't seem to be anything like RLC and it is addictive Maybe at the end of October, when I've been a week or so without all the cameras, I will feel some withdrawal symptoms and rejoin, we'll see (especially if I find out, by reading this forum, that I've missed out on something great ). Maybe I'm just a bit more sensitive and thin skinned, compared to other members, about tenants paying attention to the cameras in general, let alone "shutting them off" deliberately with obstacles like in the "episode" I ranted about. Of course I know that it isn't really REAL domestic life we are viewing (thank god as that would really be dull), but I'd like to have the illusion not broken like that Aaaanywayy... I guess it's good to take a break, and cut some time spent online in general. And I'll pop in here every now and then anyway.

Thanks for all the comments! I have been a premium member of RLC for only 4 months, so I don't have that long a perspective of this all... of what has happened before and how things maybe have changed and evolved in the apartments, regarding how people react to cameras and exposure through them etc... but the events at Lola's room last night, that got me venting some steam, were such a huge disappointment. It was the first time I witnessed a blatant disregard of what RLC should be about. Tenants have been spending time in non-camera areas during my stay as well, especially on balconies and some other "dead spots" where no cameras can reach - and that can always be explained somehow, but to lift the bedsheets up and shamelessly telling the viewers that "you are excluded, sorry... we know you are watching, so we put this wall up so you can't see... " was and is too much. You know, I felt (and still feel) completely duped and deceived. I paid almost $50 a month to be an anonymous voyeur to these apartments, watching "real life" as it emerged in them, and to which agreement all the tenants (supposedly) agreed to - to have us behind cameras and them not paying attention to the cameras. Then the "illusion" is destroyed by actions like those that took place last night. I will of course keep the door half open and maybe rejoin as premium member if I notice things changing. Maybe it requires some major changes in tenants (especially as I was not interested in half of the apartments at all anyway) and some evidence that RLC is taking some actions in clarifying to the tenants what this site is all about and what is expected of them. I'll keep informed at this forum and hope to see good news soon (my last payment covers my premium status up until around 20th of October, so after that I rely on you guys and your "reports" of what is happening )

And this is what I mean by above rant... most of the time it was like this: If the images don't show, click on the links: http://imgur.com/9Ka9sEd http://imgur.com/sOb0cIr And as I mentioned above, I have absolutely no problem with tenants having sex under bedsheets. That's what people do in real life. But when they hold up bedsheets in the air like in the images, it is not natural and ONLY done to avoid anyone seeing what is going on (recognizing the cameras which shouldn't happen), that is completely wrong for a site like this.

I wouldn't have guessed that the moment when finally something steamy is happening in Barca, Lola's room, with her, Carolina, Belle and Stella, is the moment I decide to give up my Premium subscription at RLC... I do understand people having sex under bedsheets, but I do NOT think in REAL LIFE people having sex are holding their bedsheets up like curtains to cover any view from exactly the sides that happens to be the sides where the cameras are located. Belle was taking care of Carolina with fingers and toys and all the time they held the bedsheets up in the air to have a curtain vertically hanging between them and the cameras. That is a gigantic F*** YOU to the paying customers. I know we aren't promised anything specific when we join RLC, and there more interests than people having sex, but this website should in some way reflect what "real life" might be in the apartments, and tenants not acknoledging the cameras too much. Who the he11 has sex in their bedroom and holds the bedsheets like that? If you are not willing to accept the premise of the website and "web service", don't become a tenant, that's my message to these girls actually. So, no more money from me, RLC, after 4 months of premium membership. Wouldn't have guessed that it took a 4 girl sex session to happen for me to come to this decision.

I don't understand why their apartment is just for the Premium membership? Who would pay anything to watch the endless boredom in their apartment? Even the guests they have are more interesting but that doesn't take much... Well, maybe they are in the Premium section because if any of the *free users* checked their apartment, it wouldn't be encouragement to become a paying customer to the site I guess...

My vote goes for Lev as well... 99% of the time we see him he is lying on his back on sofa with a tablet on his belly - doing absolutely nothing. It's a shame, Zoya could do so much better than him... I have no interest in following Maya&Stepan or Vanessa&Thomas anymore, so maybe there are contenders for the title in those apartments, I don't know, but Lev is certainly among the top.

I would really like to have tenants who spoke English to each other, so that I could understand what is being talked about. I don't understand Russian or Spanish at all. if there is not a realistic option to have an RLC apartment with local residents in UK, USA, Australia or Canada etc... then maybe have an apartment somewhere with tenants from different countries - so that they would practically *have to* talk English to each other.

Yes, she is still there, but look at the apartment names on the left of your screen (when in RLC): it already says that one is "Polya, Anna and Belle" and the other Barca is "Lola, Carolina and Stella". And Stella's room is already named as "Belle's room".

Stella seems to be moving to live with Caroline and Lola (now that Megan has left)
