There was a caster constantly being racist and an antisemite. So I was reporting him with proof. They did nothing. So, I got fed up one day and in chat, I said stop hating. Scruffy or Mark was lurking and permanently IP banned me from the site instead of banning the broadcaster. Later that month, the nazi owners banned the caster for personal reasons. Vaughlive is such bull it's unbelievable. Mark and Scruffy will IP permanently ban you from the site if they like a broadcaster and you report or complain too much about them abusing the rules.

Mark hates and attacking other social sites too

Misscruffy the Nazi owner bans channels becuase she reads "Private" PM's between casters. Nothing is personal or private on Vaughnlive. Miss Nazi will tamper with channels once the broadcaster dies without permission from the family and she plays around with broadcaster's chat going invisible and bans people without the broadcaster's permission too. Seriously people, this site is not right! STAY AWAY. FIND ANOTHER SITE!

Mark's mom, Misscruffy basically runs the site and she is an evil mean witch. She attacks people with bad language and telling them, "Don't $#*! with me!". All kinds of attacks. Is this the way to be a community manager of a website? NO.

Otherwise, she goes around the site banning people, micromanaging, and telling people her sickness and health issues. The Vaughns constantly lie. They say they have rules, but there are different rules for different people. They tell people to "REPORT" channels that break the rules, but if they don't like the reports (favoritism), they will ban you or ignore the report.

I am from JTV too. It was professional. They had a staff and admins. If an admin didn't do his job, they got rid of them and banned the channels. Mark was also an admin from JTV but lost his admin position because he was a trouble maker and they had disagreements with him. He was useless and worthless there. It was 1,0000 times better than Vaughn. The owners didn't have their mommies go around attacking people and playing favorites and double standards.

Vaughnlive allows their staff to allow death threats between broadcasters in chat. Some staff guy name Daryl sits in his favorite channel and alllows threats, pedophile talk and anything if he likes the casters. If they don't like you, they will ban you for this. So much double standards and favoritism on that site, it's pathetic!

The owner of the site Missscruffy terrorizes broadcasters. Casters don't have their own channel. She will go into a channel and tell people what to do. She is an evil and manipulative person. Go to another social site

Out of every live streaming website I have been on - (and I've been on a lot) VaughnLive is the worst of 'em all! The site owners pick on customers, drive them away, instigate drama and are complete children. How is it that this site is still running? I'm disgusted by its chaos. It's a daycare at this point. Drama, stupidity, children, stalkers, harrassers and doxers and people who beg for money all day. It is NOT worth visiting the page. There are way better sites out there.

I used to love vaughn live but then when mark and lynn started telling me that I was stalking the women on the website I ended up lashing out against everyone in the community, it is my fault that vikki is dead, it was only until shawnio got all my blogs deleted did I realize that I was a complete loser and accepted defeat, at the end there I was obsessed with mens genitals and would talk about nothing but warrbuck, now that I am dead now no one has anything to worry about, ps I am a huge loser.

Avoid
March 10, 2016

The site owner plays favorites among the casters. If you arent in their little club the staff will post your personal details and dox you if you speak out against their handpicked favorite casters.

Its run by a fat loser who still lives with his mom in his 30s. Oh yeah and he employs his hypochondriac mom to help run the site. Very unprofessional and very clique'y.

One stop at vaughnlive and visiting the casters on their top bar you will quickly realize none of them hold jobs, many are criminals, and many just sit there and drink or do drugs.

Staff and site owner regularly posts IP addresses and personal info of users. My virus scan has detected malware numerous times when using the site as well. Vaughnlive is not a safe site. Do yourself a favor and stay away at all costs.

So sad it used to be a good site. Now it's just a sewer. The owners and staff thrive on the sewage for their own entertainment. Doxing going on all over. No privacy options.

No privacy!
March 9, 2016

The site owner has a tendency to announce when you enter his channel, even if you're not signed into your account. His mother is just as bad, just a nonstop piss bucket of drama and double standards. If you're looking for a professionally run website, keep looking. Avoid vaughnlive at all costs!

Vaughnlive stinks
March 9, 2016

The owners are morons. Mark Vaughn acts like a child and Missscruffy is a Nazi Dictator. The site is now scrag nation, a bunch of E-beggers. Mark plays favorites with them and let them do anything they want. If you disagree with them, Mark will ban you from the site. Misscruffy goes around telling everyone her heath problems. This social site is not professional. Please stay away.

They choose who can break their "rules" and who can't. If you suck up to them then you are in the clear and can do anything you want during your cast. If you don't kiss their butts then you can do the smallest thing wrong and they ban you or find other ways of "punishing" you.

This site is great!
March 9, 2016

I group of people are maligning a great site to chat on. The owners have always been pleasant and courteous. They are extremely helpful to anyone who comes there and they answer your questions in a timely manner.

Mark Vaughn, the owner, started his site from scratch and made it one of the leading internet sites to use your webcam and start your own show! Anyone, free of charge can join.

You get to meet fellow casters by going into their room and getting to know their crowd and their great group of chatters. Often they will use skype to put on a show for even better entertainment.

I think a few bitter people who have gotten kicked or banned for not obeying the rules are posting these scurrilous accusations when just the opposite is the truth.

I for one love going there every single day. It is far more entertaining than anything you could watch on tv and the social interaction is fantastic.

Hooray Hooray for vaughnlive.tv It's free to join and you can even watch without joining in just so you can see for yourself. It's really is great fun for all!

I think 100% of all the blog owners always write something positive about their experience!
Please read the Terms of Service. No nudity, no pornography and a few others. Ir rate this site 5 stars!

$14.95 for a so-called VIP membership which includes an ad blocking device that you can download for free.Not much else is included in the VIP package. All you are paying for is the little VIP badge that shows up next to your screen name. Some casters get their VIP for free so long as they draw lots of viewers by any means necessary, including by randomly insulting someone to get more members to enter their chat box. The owner condones this and rewards this with special favors like looking the other way when rules are broken and giving away free emoticons when everyone else must pay $25.00.

Vaughnlive is evil
March 9, 2016

Misscruffy and Mark Vaughn are 2 evil site owners. There is no privacy on that site. It's run like a dictatorship. They stalk and dox people's information and IP. They ban people for trying to help the site because they allow hate and racism. So, you are IP banned for going against them. Misscruffy goes around using vulgar language with people she dislikes. Instead of trying to get people to join the site and make people comfortable, she scares people away. Lastly, they are allowing broadcasters to stream illegal DMCA movies. It's a terrible social site. Go someplace else for video/chat.
