YES. So someone who comes in just to ask the same question into my freechat had to at least pay to ask it today. I think I'm going to be intermittent with free chat and see what the results are today.

I'm going to try to figure out twitter today as well. Do you all add your faces to your webcam twitter accounts?
I personally dont. Theres so much free porn on twitter and i dont want to appeal to people that dont pay for porn. If they want to see my face they can come chat to me on cam

I don't put my face on Twitter, but it's linked to my AW profile where I do show my face. I live in a small village, and I figure if somebody local sees me on AW, they've also got a lot to answer for(ie. I may be an adult service provider, but you would only find that out if you were searching out sex workers yourself) whereas anyone can see me on Twitter.

Is anyone having issues with their mic & justcamit? At some point JCI greyed out the volume slider, and guys are complaining i'm very quiet. It's a good mic, worked fine before I got this new computer I think (windows 10 prob??), and the volume is up in my computer settings. It's fine on MFC and in the AW web version (videochat.tv)

Is it greyed out while you're offline too? Because you can't make changes while logged in.

I constantly keep getting the same copy paste emails from 2 guys.
First guy says he was in my chat before and pushed his own dick into his arse and wants to show me again on Skype.
He has never been in my chat and wonder what his Skype scam game is.
Second guy says he is okay with my Skype rates, but wants to discuss payments on Skype.
I must have received at least 40 messages from both of them this month. Might even be the same guy, though the accounts are not linked by AW.
I wonder how many messages these guys have to send out before the catch someone dumb enough to fall for it.
hahaha apologies for dragging the old post up but i think i had this guy! keeps messaging with 'an idea how we can both make money' and sent me a video of that.... i was newish/curious. also linked to a twitter account that as some guy being bombarded with the video saying it wasn't him. Very odd.

I've had audio issues in the past when both my logitech software and built-in laptop webcam software were running at the same time. I have to completely disable the laptop software and restart JCI with only the logitech software running. Also, there are times when this doesn't work either and I have to plug my logitech into a new USB slot in my laptop (there are 4 to choose from!) and restart JCI. I have no idea if it's just a glitch with my laptop, or if it's something other people have to do as well. Hope you figure it out! x

I'm getting a lot of being asked how kinky I might be and if I might do something but they say they don't want to tell me. I have on my profile that I'm broadminded and I say that but i never get the details. I might then get a couple of emails asking me what I won't do but not telling me what they actually want.
Not sure if the talk is the game rather than them actually wanting something (does any of this make sense)

99% of the time it's cause they want underage roleplay (possibly with incest thrown in)
1% of the time they want you to watch them eat their own shit.

I would agree that this is possibly a problem of them wanting something very taboo and being afraid of getting reported if they say it to someone who isn't friendly toward their fetish (since AW is pretty liberal, I'd guess ageplay). The guys that email you asking for your limits probably fall into this category. I usually explain that there's no way I could possibly list every obscure thing that I'm not willing to do, but if they want ageplay, anything involving real animals, or anything listed on my profile as a limit, they're out of luck. If it's not listed, they are going to have to ask. If they come back wanting to probe for more info without telling me anything, they're banned.
My second guess, especially considering the "how kinky are you?" part of the question, is that they want you to list a whole bunch of kinky things you do in an effort to "prove" that you're kinky. It's basically the other side of the coin to "What do you do in private?"/"What roleplays do you like?"/"Could you tell me about all your panties, so I know if you have the ones I like?"/any other question where they are essentially asking you to rattle off a list of your entire repertoire. They may get off just hearing a woman admit that she likes a whole bunch of freaky shit. I usually give the same type of answer, explaining that I can't possibly list off everything I'm willing to do in private, so they need to be more specific. These guys usually leave immediately, get butthurt (ban), or try to push harder ("Well then just tell me some of the things." ban).
There's also a 0.3% chance that the dude thinks his fetish is really weird, and is incredibly embarrassed to mention it, even though it's something pretty normal for us. For me, this issue seems to come up most often with cuckolds who have never heard of cuckolding and aren't aware that it's a thing. From what you describe, I don't think this is the case because a) AW is pretty liberal and mostly full of guys that are comfortable with their own kinks, and b) the truly embarrassed guys phrase it differently, along the lines of "I have something that I want to try, but I think it's really weird, and I think it might freak you out. Is it ok if I send you a PM about it? I really don't want you to be upset or think I'm a freak, so if you don't want to hear about it, that's ok." If you reassure them a bit, they usually come around and tell you. I actually like these experiences, because it's nice to let a guy know that he's not a freak of nature.

Thanks. yes I email exchange anyone who wants to discuss anything and I've yet to see something that freaks me out weird. Someone told me they had a very weird fetish and actually it was just to smack my boobs a bit with a dildo which is mild I think! So time will tell. If they can't tell me in a private conversation I can't do it.

I hate it when they ask questions like "how naughty are you"...how do you quantify that? What makes him think that his idea of "naughty" is the same as mine? I throw the question back "how naughty do you want me to be?"...then the idiot leaves.
Today a guy asked me if I was feeling naughty today...well, I'm sitting here on cam and doing sex shows, I'm wearing slutty clothes and have a ton of sex toys next to me...umm!

I don't think any of the guys that have asked me that, have ever gone pvt. I give the response of "how naughty do you want me to be" and they just leave. I guess they just want to get off to you describing what you find hot. Ugh! hate those guys.

Very good point. It is easy for us to forget sometimes that some of these guys are new to telling people about their kink and might not know how to approach us about it. They might have had a bad experience in the past and been rejected by a girlfriend or partner because of it. We can be too hasty to pass these chaps off as time wasters or just wanting kinky email chat. Thanks for the reminder bb x

This is pretty much how it is or they want you to be their mummy. It's very rare that it is something else.
I'll never understand why you'd want to eat your own shit! It's so gross watching them do it! It's so hard not to throw up!

Do you mean the scheduled DirectCam show function? The show gets advertised on the mini tv site and on the front page - top right. I used to use it but don't know if it makes much difference...any extra advertising may help though.

yeah nobody knew about it so they didn't read that stuff. May be a useful thing to twitter though when I start using twitter. Set my account up yesterday but never used it before so trying to figure out the best way to do stuff see if it helps or not.

Well, seems like the site is working for me! I logged in this morning and made 137.87 GBP (More like 89.62 after the 35% cut).
How does that seem? Also, what do you guys think of my rates?
Group: 1.75 GBP
Private: 2.20 GBP

The site does work well for newbies but you may find your earnings drop once the guys no longer consider you new...in view of that you might want to increase your private rate. We tend not to discuss earnings here...

What do folks do when sending packages that need a sender's address? I don't want to put a fake address in case that stops the parcel being sent.

If its US to US, putting the recipients address in both spots (normal and return) is generally ok for small parcels. YMMV in the UK, not sure what their exact rules are.

I put the address of a local chain hotel. It doesn't stop them being sent, it's just for the incoming customs at their end. As far as I'm aware.

I didn't suddenly turn into someone else after working for AW for years and years. Every single adult site I've ever worked for has accepted my driver's license but them and now after all these years I'm suspended.
