Nah I don't buy the quiet times theory. I've been on there 6 years and there's always horny guys, any time of year, and hour of the day. I did make a lot more after everyone buggered off so I think perhaps it's just down to the sheer amount of girls on now. Need to up my game on my other sites ugh. Thank you though Cat, I hope it picks up for both of us x
I also noticed there were a LOT of ladies on last night, over 600 when I looked, which is quite unusual for a Tues. I wondered if many of them were trying to earn some last minute holiday money.
I do notice quiet times in terms of customers, but I just get on with other work stuff without feeling like I'm missing out on the money - making/editing clips, taking pics, writing blurb, doing accounts - all have to be done at some point, and might as well make use of the less busy times to be even more productive :)

I needed to re-verify my age because I hadn't logged in for a long time and the help center told me to email my ID and a picture of my holding up a sign with adultwork.com, my user ID and the date to
[email protected] So I did.
Help center emails me back and says that they don't know why I sent my ID to the help center and that the only place I should be sending my ID was inside of my dashboard.
I emailed back saying that the help center breached the protection of my privacy, copied in all of the emails, said it was absurd and that I'd like to know the person that asked me to do this will be reprimanded.
They email me back saying to locate the business center that handled my inquiry and resubmit my complaint to them.
Good to know they outsource their support to some fucktards and then take zero responsibility when something like this happens.

I am guessing this "business centre" is Sweetkick / SKL ?

Thought so. They are notoriously worse than AW at making up their own rules as they go along. And then the problem is you're not allowed to communicate with AW (who's rules and ToS you are ACTUALLY following), only SKL!

If anyone else is wondering why their credits are underline on their statement page, I just read this...
"Why are the amounts on my credits statement underlined?
The value of AdultWork.com Credits are stored to four decimal places, e.g. 15.4592. Virtually everywhere the value of credits is shown to two decimal places with the figure being rounded accordingly.
The figure above would typically appear as 15.46 credits.
If you hover your mouse over the amount underlined it will show you the figure to four decimal places.
This wasn't apparent or a problem until the introduction of VAT on digital services, when adding percentages to values increased the likelihood of numbers being generated using the full four decimal places.
The fall out is negligible except you may believe you have 0.01 more (or less) credit than you actually have. This might cause issues when, for example, you are buying or bidding on something that is the exact value of your balance. With the above figure in mind, if you bid 15.46 for DirectCam Positioning, this would actually result in your bid not being processed as it would be more than your actual balance of 15.4592."

I was in a Skype show with one of my regs yesterday.
He suggested that I link my Twitter page on my AW profile.
I said I already had, but just to sure, i looked at my profile and there it was.
He looked at my profile and said he couldn't see it, so I asked for a screenshot, and sure enough, there was no link!
So he logged into his performer profile and added his Twitter in the links section. Said he could see it. But when I looked at his profile it wasn't there!!
What is this?! Is anyone else aware?
Are AW making us believe that our links are viewable by others when they're not? Or perhaps it was a temporary glitch.
I'll keep an eye on it.

As far as I am aware you have to have your phone number up and showing, paying for this for your external links to show up for others to see them

You need to be paying for featuring of some kind that day ie featured profile, front page featuring, public phone number etc. You do not need to show your number, it can be any if these.

AW has really been surprising me lately I am doing so well there. I am in the middle of saving for a huge tax bill in January like everyone in the UK and AW (so far) is covering my payments I'm putting aside every week.
AW hasn't been that consistent for a while now so I will make hay while the sun is shining...

Hey, not sure if anyone can help, but I have just had my first issue with my transfer request on AW.... Don't want it to be hard to understand so, I had racked up enough credits to make a transfer but when I was submitting the request I could only see two transactions when in fact I have a few more on the list which don't say 'available for transfer on...' or 'transfer requested on....' I am confused at to why I would not be able to access these credits?
Can someone please advise as AW are a nightmare to contact!! .... Thanks in advance!

Ok I'm actually pretty worried right now. Still earning ok as I'm on multiple sites but the last 4 times I have been on AW, inc just now for the last 2 hours it has been completely dead. Only 1 regular has come in and the rest have been group requests that pop in and straight out. I've had quiet times of course but this is beyond quiet. Is the site broken?
I'm catching up with posts
25th of the month
end of month,
just before pay day,
people have less money,
also its summer holiday,
more people are away than ever.
Lots of reasons!
2 hour isn't unusual time to have no call.

So I used to offer direct chat and pre-booked through Skype. I was gone for awhile and since coming back have only been offering direct for now. I have several old clients who would only book through Skype and they still want that option, but honestly I always felt like I ended up loosing money because I would give warnings but they NEVER ended in time and I am not one to just hang up.
So why do phone callers choose this option? Is it to get more time or is there another viable reason I am not seeing? I'm considering adding it again because it was a nice additional income but I just don't know if the frustration is worth it.

Do you mean "why do guys use pre-booked phone chat"? It's because they can watch (download) a movie for free before and after the session (can't find where it says that, at that moment), because directchat can be glitchy, because they can try and get away conning you through the pre-booked system, and because they can stay on longer. I only offer directchat but I do cam shows on skype.
If you have a minimum number of minutes that makes a skype show worthwhile, I don't mind too much if they go over a little. It would bother me if I told them their time was up and they ignored me, then I would hang up.
I don't use skype as a phone call option as they expect to see you on cam and just trying to get it cheaper.

I've had guys in places like Ireland and Australia that use Skype because it's free to call. I assume if they used their mobile or landline, there would be an additional long distance call charge on their phone. Maybe I'm mistaken, but that's what I always assumed. I offer Skype phone and regular phone bookings. For every guy who runs over a bit, I have more than that who hang up before their time is up, so I rarely have an issue with it if they run over. If it was more than a minute or so, I'd ask them if they'd like to book more time. If they ignored me, I'd hang up. If I were in your situation, I would gently explain to those people that you stopped offering Skype bookings because people were habitually abusing the system by running overtime (HINT HINT). I'd offer to take their booking again with the understanding that they get the time they book and nothing more. If they continue to go over, block them and carry on taking business from people who don't take the piss.

That is brilliant Blue Velvet. I could actually make this work for me rather than continually let it piss me off. Lol. Thank you.
And Katy I didn't realize they got little perks like that. And yes, glitchy. I got a response from AW about my above connection complaint and of course they turned it back around to my setup. Sigh

Found this on your selling movies page: Note: When you confirm a phone chat booking with this member you can view these
movies for free 5 minutes before, through to 5 minutes after it's scheduled time.

Thing is AW bans them and they just come back with a new username. I think the protection they offer for us girls in terms of having our reputations bashed is pretty poor.

Edit - I actually came in here to say that the summer holidays seem to be a good time to get exposure to different guys. I am not busy but am splitting and am getting a decent amount of shows with people I've never seen before. Just something to bear in mind over the summer! x

I wish we could block them on justcamit without them being in the room. It used to be worse though, they used to be able to leave feedback on directchat immediately and some bastards would call girls repeatedly to leave negative feedback and AW wouldn't remove it. When they change their name, they often use something similar or related to their fetish and I can get a sense of it being the same person. The best we can do is name and shame here.

The worse was an accidental "neutral" left by a regular in place of positive. X

I'm just gutted I didn't click as I'd cammed with him before and thinking back I do remember hearing his user name mentioned too. As expected AW say they can't remove it and people will be able to make their own minds up when they see it based on my response. Stupid fucks. My energy towards aw was pretty negative that night though so I'm half certain I invited it grr. Def not feeling the site or camming in general at the moment.

Don't worry, Susie. There are hardly any established girls who don't have at least a couple of negative feedbacks from some numpty. Anyone with even half a brain will be able to tell they're the issue, not you!
I know what you mean about feeling nonplussed about camming..I just can't find anything else I can tolerate which gives me the freedom and pays much above minimum wage..the eternal merry-go-round! X

Hi ladies I'm new on here but been on AW over a year camming & escorting etc. A cam client left me a neg by mistake the other day and there is a form they can fill in and send to AW to get the rating changed, obviously this only works when it's a mistake and not a fuckwit being an idiot.
The form is under Help - Field Reports, Ratings & Feedback - Feedback - I need to edit or remove feedback I have left for another member. Then send the link to the guy.
I used this and AW altered the rating within a couple of hours.

Just thought of a PSA that might be useful for some of you, especially if you have free chat and/or group chat enabled. You can private message users within justcamit. The only reason I thought that this might not be common knowledge for some people is that a large majority of the guys who I private message in freechat act like I'm some kind of cam wizard and inform me that they have never/hardly ever see messages coming direct to them and not the entire room. They always ask if they can PM models (they can, and I encourage it). Apologies in advance if everyone already knew this. You can also type /help into JCI to get a list of other helpful commands for when you just cant quite reach your mouse. ;D
Anyway in order to do it type this (I have included some handy examples) ::)
:shhh: /msg ilovenickingknickers69 hey there want to take me into paid chat? I'd love to continue talking about your neighbours washing line somewhere more private...
:male: /msg lookatmylongdong123 I'd love to look at your penis, but as you have asked 278 times in free chat I think we should go into paid so the other guys don't get jealous.
:wife: /msg fannytwatpussyvag I don't want to kill the buzz in my room, so I am politely asking you over PM to stop typing before I have to kick you
If you mistype their username the message just hangs there, it won't be sent to them but the whole room won't see it either.
Anyway, happy camming and blessed be the credits:boobies:
No I never knew this at all, wow thank you for sharing!
So if I've got it right, you have to type /msg and a space then the username and whatever you write is shown to only you and them? Sorry to be slow! I don't have the patience for free but it could be useful for group chat...

/kick kick user
/msg send private message to user
/clear clear chat window
/exit /quit logoff
Ctrl-F2 toggle live / loop video
Ctrl-F9 set focus to chat out box
toggle video is interesting! We're not allowed to be anything but live.
kick user can be useful since they bounce around on the chat list when new guys come in.
I don't know what "set focus to chat out box" is.
