Did we get a definitive answer on wether movies are now downloadable? I've been adding some new ones and pricing at £10 etc for 10 mins. I seem to remember something about they can't use freeviews on movies over £10 so might work out for the best anyway? Anyone put their audio mp3s up too? I'm gonna give aw a shot at content as haven't bothered in years.
A few years back a phone chat guy asked me to view a fetish clip on AW with him. When I tried to watch the clip, I couldn't & I couldn't work out why at the time anyway, months later I accidently found the said clip had somehow downloaded onto my laptop! A fart fetish clip & deleted it - so they certainly did used to download & I definately don't use any special softwhere not even VPN.

Apparantly it's AW's internet provider that's down . AW tweet from 40 mins ago: "We’ve been in discussions with our internet providers in Europe & they have a major outage affecting 100's of customers. They’re actively working on a solution & will update us soon. We’ll pass on any updates. We’re working on alternative options to get the site back online ASAP"

I've just been on twitter and they've popped a new update on a few minutes ago (9.13am GMT, uk)
We are aware that problems are ongoing and engineers are working tirelessly to restore all services.
This is not a problem with the AW Platform but with connections to it.
Thank you for your patience.

Heads up - it was announced today that the AV law for porn sites will come into force on July 15th.
(I thought there was a separate thread about this but can't find it.)

So when this comes into effect does this mean any user logging into adultwork wont be able to see us in freeview for example unless they register their card with the site to prove their age etc? Im assuming this is the case as isnt this all about ensuring children cannot access sites of this nature. Does this also mean that sites like streamate will have to follow suit for their uk customers and they too wont be able to see our cam feed unless they sign up and prove their age?

pretty much yeah,
with streamate its really up to them whether they follow it or not - if they dont then the UK government can tell ISP to block the sites. However I contacted Liz from SM about this to see if they where aware of the new laws and they are and from the sounds of it they're gonna try and comply.
tbh its been postponed so many times already Im not sure it'll ever come into effect anyway

US sites dont have to comply, they'll just stop catering to UK models and customers. AW stopped allowing US models instead of trying to comply with fosta/sesta. The new york post simply blocked access to UK readers instead of complying with GDPR.
Who knows /shrugs/
Classy_Katy
04-18-2019, 07:55 AM
I don't know if US sites will get rid of UK service providers...they're more likely to do nothing and just lose UK customers when their internet provider and payment cards block the non-complying sites (they can access with a VPN but the issue would be purchasing). We could use a VPN (but watch out with AW) but there could be an issue with our banks accepting payment from those sites, although my cheque from C4S doesn't state the site.

This happened with uk customers using debit cards on clips4sale when the last round of age verification idiocy happened re UKAP. I can't remember exactly what happened but no doubt it'll happen again. I've moved away from my uk bank (nationwide) now for most of my payments, to app based banks instead. The whole thing is a stupid ballache and it's tiring going through this over and over. Hopefully won't happen.
If i can be bothered later i'll write an actual answer. Myles jackman and pandora blake on twitter are worth following for the latest.

I can't see my bank refusing my Paxum payments & TTM the US/Cad site I also work on they updated their website so that it was GDPR compliant for us in the UK so I trust they all find a soloution.
UK guys are probably the biggest porn consumers outside the USA, no-one's going to want to lose their busness & as for the customers they just get age verified - They're not going to want to miss out these men.

Do you mean UK banks stopped accepting incoming payments/cheques from C4S? I'm following Myles Jackman...this is the first I heard of bank accts refusing payments due to AV laws! :O

It will be in one of specific threads on this issue. As well as internet providers blocking non-complying sites, banks will be too...but I don't know if that will be only outgoing payments or incoming payments too. It would only be if they knew it was from that site, so Payoneer would have been fine I expect.

Oh, right! Sorry I meant what Classy Katy posted about, that "there could be an issue with our banks accepting payment from those sites". I can't see how the AV would affect our incoming payments.

Just to update, i asked sm, iwc, mfc and nf what the situation was in regards to the new EU AV law. Sm said:
Hi, there will not be an impact to performers regarding the new UK age verification laws since performers are signing into the site from (link: http://streamatemodels.com) streamatemodels.com, which has no adult content on it. This will further not impact performer's ability to receive their payments from what I am told as of today. The greater impact will likely be felt on the customer/member side, and we are still awaiting further details about this.
Will update with the others.

Not an AW model (although I used to be) here for the new dumb UK porn laws.
A question. Regardless whether sites comply or not. I can’t help but think this is going to severely hurt our income anyway. Are guys going to trust putting that kind of sensitive information in?
What are your thoughts?

i think im right in saying they verify their age by inputting their card details so i dont see how this woule effect anything as if they want a show with us currently they have to do the same thing to top up?
I thought the change would mean they wouldnt be able to see us in free chat but i spoke to liz at sm and she said this wouldnt be the case as we dont show nudity in free anyway so i dont see how this law will make much changes in regards to what the customer can access. As they will still see us in free chat and then if they want a show they have to verify by card/topping up which is same now anyway
if i have any of this wrong people please correct me but this is what i have heard

I think the guys will verify rather than miss out & if they use a credit then they might even get tempted to start spending on it. Those that are too paranoid to get verified and put a card on file are no loss to us because they're never going to spend anyway - freeloader losers - who cares about their them? not me.
Sex is a major priority for a man - more important than food for most of them. They don't think as women do. I remember once seeing a guy who had just been let out of the hospital to die because he had a terminal illness & the first thing on his mind was sex. He didn't even care how susceptible he was to germs and how him having sex could've finished him off even quicker. I didn't judge the guy though because its not my place to & also, understand how they think & if it was a woman in that same situation then sex would be the last thing on her mind, but this the reason why I think they will imput their sensitive details - they'll take the risk.

Did you ever get paid for any of them in the end? I'd be seriously upset if I got one - especially if I'd got naked.
Probably best off insisting they use Direct Cam or pre-booked phone first & then when you know they can be trusted let the book Skype.
This is also one of the reasons I think AW should insist every member puts a credit/debit card on file so that they can do any necessary checks to weed out these fraudsters because it's not fair.
SylvySinclair
04-26-2019, 03:26 PM
All of them were on directcam, which makes me wonder, how in the hell they can get shows if they didnt put a cc there??? I only got paid for one guy, was a smaller show, the other 2 guys, i didnt get paid for and i lost 250 pounds, this time i lost 140 pounds!!!! Why are these guys able to spend and why is aw doing that to me, i dont know. Im seriously angry as I cant rely on guys there anymore.
Classy_Katy
04-26-2019, 11:30 PM
I expect they are fraudulently using someone else's credit card and only loading with credits right before the show. You can't go asking everyone who wants a directcam show to spend money on you first, wait a few hours or even days since it can take time for an unrecognised payment to be reported, then have the show, the whole point of directcam is the instant nature of it.
I've only had one, I don't know why you're getting so many, Sylvy.

I am voluntarily verifying myself as I only do phone and IM currently - I thought the verification might put some guys minds at ease - and they put something on my profile saying I might not be legitimate. I have emailed them about it and they said, 'the verification process takes up to 48 hours'. I am worried that alert might drive off business and damage my brand a whole lot in that 48 hours as I have not had any calls/paid IM since it was put there. Has anyone else had experience with this? Will it impact me long-term? Reassurance totally welcome.
