Sorry to hear you've got another one Sylvy. Did anybody explain why you got the CB's, was it CC fraud? It does seem odd that you're getting so many, but I really don't think it's anything shady AW's part. I get the feeling you're being targeted by maybe one guy that has multiple accounts.

I would email the webmaster & keep emailing until they investigate properly what's going on if you've not already done so.

I chatted with them on live chat and this time, the guy was a regular of mine and yet, they said, his transaction was found to be suspicious and therefore, they decided to hold back untill they investigate him. Im really upset, now, its been 500 pounds in losses.

Kristen_Krystal
06-08-2019, 03:04 PM
I see - maybe he spent a lot that night and maxed out his card and then used another and that's what flagged him as suspicious? Can only speculate really but I did once have a non regular in IM & I got a cb and AW said the same thing to me that they said to you - they did pay it back to me within a few weeks, so hopefully if he's a regular it'll be okay and you'll get it back. I hope so.

UGH. I have been having a load of calls lately that last a couple mins before they're disconnected. The guys always message after saying they don't have any credits left and can't call back but next time when they call could we talk about x thing. Are they just hanging up because I can't read their minds then regretting it later or what? Seems to be all the sorts of calls I get anymore. Really missing my long chats that heat up slow and wind up being really hot for everyone.

So I heard back only to be told that because of non-UK peeps connnnsstantly breaking rules (funny, most of us were banned 2 yrs ago so how?, also, I live in the UK now), they will not be allowing those who have been banned or suspended (even though they punish you for 2 weeks) to have their accounts, back. So the money I put into that acc. they keep, and they of course had to add the snarky and unnecessary "if you don't like it, don't use our site" bit like, durrrr.


At least they're allowing me the chance to re-register which I find comical considering they told me that they're noting my 2 week punishment and why, on the new acc. Ummm ok? Why force us to create a new acc. if there's going to be a blemish from the previous acc. on it? Why not just let us keep the old acc. (which was new and waiting for verification, lol) with a warning on it? Oh, and if we do something else 'bad' were barred for life, lol. AW is extra for no reason. Pretentious has always been their thing but they're doing a whole lot and I wish they'd take their own advice of 'there's no need to respond'. Just get to the point and stfu. Models just want to use site traffic for a service they pay for. Period.

Keeping money you put into the site? Did you earn it? If you earnt it and they kept it that's theft!

They can fight to keep skype bookings instead of removing them!

Answer us via email with ACTUAL answers not stock automated responses followed with condescending drivel that denies there's a problem and it must be our computer/internet.

They can oh i dunno.... ADVERTISE for a change and bring in customers!

Skype bookings are staying for the time being. No date was ever bought in regarding them being removed.

They're lying because they have to have enough credits for at least either a 4 min or 5 min at your rate to call you. It sounds like when they hear your voice you sound to nice for them and it's making them lose their bottle. Maybe make it clear on your profile what they can and can't chat with you about to cut down these time waster calls.

I don't get calls like this on AW but I do on my other site sometimes & it's annoying, especially if they end the call within 30 seconds because we don't get paid on my other site.

I do get quite a lot of annoying peepers on cam though - I'm getting tempted to start banning them when they do it. Some do it repeatedly & then finally they'll have a little show. Some say they lose connection but it's still annoying. The amount of guys I get that don't interact at all is unreal. What is wrong with them? What is the point of using a live interactive cam service & then not interacting with us?

My group shows tend to consist of one guy that does inteact & the lot's of in & out peepers.

What does everyone else do with your persistant peepers - do you ban them or just keep letting them in for a quick peep?

They're not really peepers in the same way on AW as these guys are paying when it's happening in group. It is annoying when people come in and out but I engage with them and happy to have extra money coming in, even if it's not very much. I have my own show in group so I don't mind much if they don't interact but usually at least one does.

Using the mobile site they do get disconnected easily.

I once had a guy in private just sit motionless at his desk, not even saying anything...no idea why he wanted cam2cam, it was really off putting.

They're cheapos trying to get a 1 on 1 show at a lower rate. A few will be regs who are genuinely wondering when you'll be free. I don't ban anyone. I deliberately keep my group the same price as most other models private, that way i dont mind if there's only one guy. The peepers then are just a bonus.

Is anyone having probs with JCI today? I've been trying for over an hour but JCI won't show my cam, only a black screen. I even tried justcamit lite and it's not picking up any of my cams or mics. wth? It works fine on nf and skype so it's not me.

I was having a 20 min discount offer show with a reg and the moment I opened his cam he told me mine went off. He disconnected and connected again, and apparently it was all frozen and he couldn't see me. Everything looked ok on my end, though. Other than that, I've had people not being able to hear me more than normally.

I think it stays black for three days and then turns red. Mine only tells me about the paid private gallery pics and movies though, not the free gallery but then I don't have a free gallery so that may be why. If they want it, they can pay!

Some of my peepers have been repeatedly doing it for years now. The only good thing about them is that they bump me to the top of the page & then I'll often get a guy that does want to have a little chat.

It just annoys me because, for me, it's no different than someone knocking on your door & staring at you for 30 seconds & not telling you what they want. It's just so rude & creepy.

I tell you what's bugging me about AW lately, we all had to jump through hoops to get verified with our passport scans and photos next to post boxes holding newspapers etc, but they just assume a credit card is enough of a verification for a customer. A bunch of times recently I've been chatting away to someone for them to admit they're underage and using their Da's card. Like this isn't an ageplay thing they're genuinely under age. I've reported them each time and they've been banned, but like I'm really creeped out and annoyed by it.

I wonder what this new party chat will be like? Does it mean they can go into more than one room at once do you think? I'm not sure I fancy that if that's the case because I don't like other women seeing me naked :) I hope we can opt out of that.

We will also be able to cam using our mobiles? Camming on the go might be good.

I doubt they would ever ask customers to start sending photo ID in order to join the site - They'd never sign up for it most of them. I've never had anyone tell me that was underage & I'd take it with a pinch of salt if they did. You did the right think of kicking them & reporting. Only a dickhead would say that to you.

The customers still have to be age verified & I've had guys tell me they've had to jump through hoops just to be able to top up his credits sometimes.

Someone claiming to be underage would need his Dads credit card details & his password - These customers, they guard these details with their lives. Go on a certain punting site to see the lengths that they go to just to hide their dirty little secrets. They use VPN's, throw - away special punting phones & all sorts. I think who-ever is telling you that they're underage is getting his kicks trying to just disturb you.

From AW re Skype bookings and new features:


We shall soon be removing the webcam booking facility at AdultWork.com.

Members that have been using webcam bookings in conjunction with Skype to conduct fixed-length or fixed-price cam shows are strongly encouraged and cordially invited to continue to do the same using DirectCam Special Offers.

There are several benefits to using special offers over bookings, if nothing else, both parties don’t need to use third party software, book or confirm anything. If you set-up your offers as “group mode” then other people can join the session paying your normal group rate.

To read more about this decision and the other benefits, read this help centre article. https://www.adultwork.com/LKBA.asp?A=853

To check your DirectCam Settings and configure your special offers, visit your Edit Profile Page:

https://www.adultwork.com/EditProfile.asp?T=WC

We also have a How To video in the Help Centre:

https://www.adultwork.com/HCVideos.asp#video_24



As many members perceive this change as a negative, we would like to announce two new features that are in the pipeline for DirectCam:

Party Mode – cam with one or more members already on AW

WebRTC JustCamIt and DirectCam Player – Broadcast or watch from your phone, with no Flash or legacy tech with cam-2-cam support.


We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your custom and wish you every success as things move forward.

Regards

Yup just seen it. So "we're not actually getting rid of bookings we're just seeing what the members think" was BS.

"Party mode" isn't something I'd ever use on face value, because I WORK ALONE and I wouldn't want to risk my account/feedback/rep/etc by splitting a feed with anyone else. However, I would need to see how this works before making a full judgement.

Phone broadcasting isn't something I'd ever do. I guess many do, or want to.

The phone camming will be useful. I will reserve judgement till after i test it as you just know there's no way this will work first time without kinks- guys will use the shittiest old phones and there will be disconnection after disconnection.

Party chat i can see being great for a lot of things. I'm looking forward to using it along with another domme in order to jointly play with a sub. Could also be really hot if a guy likes two of us and wants to all play together. No qualms here about nudity in front of other girls. I've never been able to access any other model cams on AW so it'll be a novelty for me.

Unfortunately i think the guys will mostly use party chat to play with the bargain basement models - get two for £2 instead of just one for £3+, but we'll see.

Re webcam bookings CatBB hit the nail on the head, complete load of bollocks about members wanting them gone, this was just a barefaced way of taking them from us.

As I see it the new phone broadcasting is as Cat says, the ability for US to use a phone to cam from, nothing to do with how the customer accesses us, they can already use pretty much any device they choose.

I think it's good, it offers us the chance to cam from somewhere without needing a laptop plugged in. More flexibility. Not sure I would use it with mobile date though, only wifi.

You know I didn't even think of the 4-5 mins thing. Some of these hang ups are within like 3 mins. They seem to have stopped though.

I changed up my profile to talk about longer calls w/ vanilla intro. The 5 min wank guys are fine occasionally, but it's not really my jam. I'd prefer to get comfortable, talk to someone about all their filthy little secrets and at least walk away going, "wow, those are some cool/interesting fantasies" than, "oh, another guy wanting to wank and tell me how he'll cum on my face when my profile clearly says dominant."

(Not a cam model) it could be fun camming from the bath or whatever, so long as the phone didn't fall in you could do plenty of teasing with bubbles. Bath toys are fun too. But as I say, not a cam model so take it with a grain of salt.

This is when a skype booking would be best as it takes advance preparation...I wouldn't do all that in the hope a guy will have a directcam show. They are incredibly unreliable and some enjoy making us run around and think they going to have a show with us when they have no intention of it. Even regulars can let us down at the last minute with no notice or apology. There's also only so long you can sit in a bath in the hope someone will want a show.

I think a lot of these guys are already to burst by the time they actually call, but you do get some callers that like a nice long chat - they do exist. In the past, I've some guys and they're on a call for a few hours - they tended to call when my phone rate was under 1.50 those long callers.

I have a Domme listing on my other site & I sometimes get them often phoning it for vanilla chat, but usually, they get it right.

Glad you're starting to get the callers you want - it takes time really to build up some good regulars that you like.

Kristen_Krystal
06-19-2019, 12:16 PM
Yes, I was thinking the party chat would be good for double Domme sessions. I had a guy email me a couple of weeks ago asking for a two - way Skype with another provider so that he could see us both naked and see who he thinks is best - like he's looking at two pieces of meat. No thanks. That's why I'm a bit reserved about the party chat. Some of these guys just have the most obnoxious attitudes toward women. I can't stand idiots like that.

I reckon some of these subs & SPH guys might like the party chat.

This is when a skype booking would be best as it takes advance preparation...I wouldn't do all that in the hope a guy will have a directcam show. They are incredibly unreliable and some enjoy making us run around and think they going to have a show with us when they have no intention of it. Even regulars can let us down at the last minute with no notice or apology. There's also only so long you can sit in a bath in the hope someone will want a show.

Yeah, 100%. Ugh, I'm sorry they're being shitty.

I think a lot of these guys are already to burst by the time they actually call, but you do get some callers that like a nice long chat - they do exist. In the past, I've some guys and they're on a call for a few hours - they tended to call when my phone rate was under 1.50 those long callers.

I have a Domme listing on my other site & I sometimes get them often phoning it for vanilla chat, but usually, they get it right.

Glad you're starting to get the callers you want - it takes time really to build up some good regulars that you like.

My rate is 1.70 atm. It has been 1.50 in the past but I rose it because I was tired of the call and ready to burst guys. Then I got the call and hang up and email guys instead.

It does take a while. I had a few good regulars before, but they dropped off for various reasons. I am still new though, and there's tones of other people out there who can become regs.

Have you heard anything about what they're going to do about webcam daily featuring & if they're going to keep it as it is?
