Yeah, I agree it's a separate issue. I was responding more to the idea that free porn doesn't affect our business. I'm 100% with you on the censorship issue, and it's entirely fucked up that Mindgeek (Fabian) is going to be peddling the age verification technology. I do, however, feel a bit conflicted about it all and to be honest I'm not 100% sure where I stand on it. As a parent of small children, I'm honestly horrified that they're as many clicks away from PornHub (or similar) as I am. It seems like they should make it a little bit harder for underage people to access it. I know it's never going to completely eliminate kids accessing porn, but surely they could make it less easy? When I was a kid, we had to dig to the bottom of my dad's closet for the dusty VHS porn tapes and magazines (really showing my age here, ha!) when we were feeling curious. Even then, it wasn't anything remotely close to the variety of what's out there today. I'm not in favour of sheltering kids from the real world, but I certainly don't think 10yr olds should be a click away from "2 Girls, 1 Cup". You need an ID to get into a nightclub. Sure, it doesn't stop kids from getting fake IDs, but at least the nightclubs aren't leaving the doors open for anybody of any age to walk in. That's kinda my thinking. Still, I'm not down with censorship, so it's really a tough one.

If it makes you feel any better, in my day we were looking for our Dads' (not so well) hidden dirty mags...no VHS yet! It was all blow jobs and naked teenage girls.
I don't think of this in terms of preventing the under aged from stumbling across porn as I don't believe for one minute that the Government cares about that. This is all control and censorship.
Fortunately, my child and I can talk openly with each other and I've explained about porn. Things that have caused a problem were seeing clips from The Exorcist and images triggering trypophobia.

I have had loads of cam girls come into my room tonight. I don't mind but 2 things really bug me about it....1) It's rarely girls that have their free chat on so I can't go into their room and 2) They never talk - just lurk then leave!

I just had a guy come into my room, asking me if I would report him to the police if i sent him an email, I said yes if what he confessed was illegal, and he sent me one saying that he's raped a woman and the location. I am really upset. How do I go on about reporting this? like, what do I do?

I would bet he's a fantasist who's getting off on shocking you. Still, if you want to report it, contact your local police department (101 for non-emergency). Take screengrabs of the email exchanges. You can send them to
[email protected] as well if you want to report it to AW. AW also has contact details for the police to get in touch with them if need be: https://www.adultwork.com/ContactUs.asp
The fact that he asked you if you would report him to the police and then "confessed" after you confirmed you would makes me think he's just fapping to the whole danger element of it. I doubt the police will take it seriously, but who knows.

Thanks for the reply, Blue Velvet, I also considered him just getting off the 'confession' and my reaction, and so I gave him none, I was very poker faced the whole time. He gave me name, address and where and when it happened but obviously it could be all made up. I just want to report it just in case. Thanks a lot for the info because it's the first time something like this happens to me. I'll see what I can do x

If it was me I would report it too. Just in case. Better to report it and know it didn't happen than not report it and never be sure.

just joined this forum today but been on aw on and off over the years. just recently joined back, and well my first day back was abysmal. I made 40 credits after 6 hours of being logged on. Is this the norm for aw now? I am a domme, going to get myself set up with nite flirt.

I'm considering offering real time domme sessions.
I can't decide whether to change my services offered so that the escort box is ticked, or keep it unticked since it will a non-sexual service.
What do you guys think?

I would tick it and just specify in your listing what services you do and do not offer. You'll still get loads of timewasters messaging you and people who don't bother reading profiles, but if a guy is searching for a pro-domme meet, he'll go via the escort listings.

I've also been having technical problems recently (getting disconnected, unable to connect, and people leaving and complaining), although I thought it was just me. So annoying! Yesterday was absolute shit until the very last hour of my shift. In and outs and people leaving right after asking me something, which is rare. Something must be up because last Monday I moved and I now have hyperoptic (170 down AND up), and I am streaming on an i7 with a new super powerful graphics card.

Me too me too I just...it’s just blaaa. It’s a mad rush for like an hour and then complete ghost town for 7. Was on for 12 hours today and only spoke to people for 20 mins of that and about 5 second calls where they say hi and poof gone.
Driving me mad as really affecting credits :(

If you think this is bad just wait until Adobe flash no longer works in 2020 and all websites need to get new camming software.
It will be bug after bug everyone.
Actually reminds me I need to step up my Skype game.

Nightmare re Skype!!! That being said unless I put it at 2 cred a min I don’t get many bookings...could just be me...
Random question as I’ve asked on another forum but.. has anyone had all these tech issues and actually managed to solve it, I’ve gone from hitting a figure consistently with slow days maybe just over 100 to now three days in a row doing 10-12 hours a day and making nothing, infact actually loosing because spending more on advertising!
I know it’s something to do with windows 10 bugs and people not being able to hear or get in the room, pvt button options going missing etc. If anyone has any tips it would be greatly appreaciated

If the private button disappears then one fix is to ask your customer to enter your chat room via your profile page. I'm use 8.1 & it can sometimes happen in Direct IM when I have the free chat enabled & the customer is using a mobile device. I suspect the sound issues your having maybe due to the same.
It's been an ongoing issue for ages now. AdultWork does not work as mobile site. I just wish they could just see this & roll it back to before they developed the mobile site. It worked just fine then. Customers need encouraging to use LapTops & wired connections for the best experience - not mobile phones.
It's took me about half an hour to post this reply on my laptop this morning. This forum is getting worse.

Exactly. It's so fucked up that activity between consenting adults is being policed in this way. I can't see how they'll be able to enforce it.

Microsoft most likely doesn't have the means to detect video sex - it's a really hard tech problem. They might *try* to do it, but just like with Snapchat, the vulnerability *mainly* lies with how pissed off your spurned freeloaders get & whether they report you.

Given the recent facebook controversy, surely its only a matter of time before other platforms start harvesting data including video data? I mean whats to stop them owning the rights to your videos and monitoring them for "inappropriate content"?
DancesWithSloths
03-29-2018, 09:43 AM
^Oh, they harvest them alright. It's just that right at this moment automatically detecting whether your video is inappropriate is really hard for a computer to do. Text, yes. Video, no.
Do you know these google "prove you're a human" tests where you have to click where all the cars or signs or shop fronts are in a picture? The reason it works is because computers are really shit at being able to tell what's in the picture.
It'll come soon enough, I'm sure, but we're not there yet.

Has anyone had any luck claiming back VAT paid to AW before they uploaded their UTR?
I have a friend who has worked on AW for a couple of years and just found out that she doesn't need to pay the VAT. She estimates that she paid around £4k.
Any thoughts on whether it's possible to get it back?

You can now only claim back the VAT for the month you've uploaded your details in.
So if she uploads it now she gets back all vat for the month April but no further back.

I use clubdailypay. They've just send out an email that payments from them are not and will not be effected and everyone will get paid like normal.
You can just use Skype like normal too. Maybe they'll add some text recognisation on words like "cock" or whatever, but they can't monitor video chats.
IF they did, they'd have to do it manually. Only imagine the amount of applications that job opening would get..

In case anyone didn't notice:
Important Notice
FirstChoice Pay Card Holders Withdrawal of Credits
10th April 2018
We have today been advised by FirstChoice Pay (FCP) that, with immediate effect, they will be unable to add further funds to cardholder accounts.
This issue affects not only AdultWork.com members but any FCP cardholder globally across all industry sectors.
AdultWork.com are currently putting in place alternative arrangements for our members currently using FCP as their withdrawal method, however there may be unavoidable delays in settling funds as we put these arrangements in place.
Paxum have now also advised that Paxum cards can no longer be loaded via transfer to card. They state 'it is important to note that any funds that currently exist on any Paxum card issued by Choice Bank are fully available and can be used as normal at the ATM and for POS purchases.'
Paxum are working hard to implement a new card solution and expect to have this completed within 4 weeks.
FCP and Paxum cardholders wishing to withdraw funds from AdultWork.com have the option to receive their funds via direct bank transfers in GBP or EURO.
As a matter of urgency we will shortly enable functionality that will allow you to convert your existing, pending FirstChoice Pay or Paxum transfer requests into the other available methods (UK/EU bank transfer.
We at AdultWork.com will continue to use our best efforts to provide a comprehensive range of payment options for our members but in this particular case, the situation is out of our hands.
