Hello
Thank you for using our Live Chat system.
Further to our conversation regarding exclusive pictures, we can confirm that only the three main profile pictures need to be exclusive.
All other pictures do not need to be exclusive.
The user agreement will be amended shortly.
Please accept our apologies for any confusion caused.
Regards
The AdultWork.com Team

Just got an email from AW saying everything - not just the three profile pics - needs to be exclusive to them. I emailed them back to ask where it says that as I am a bit confused about this, being that I thought it was the 3 profile pics and everyone here is saying that as well.
Tell them to read the user agreement, it has already been changed.

UGH. I will see what they say when they email me back, and inform them for the change. I do feel rather bad for their employees if things are changing all the time and they can't keep up.

I received confirmation from AW yesterday by email that there has been no recent changes in the Terms & Conditions with regard to content uploads.
It's just thhe three main pictures that need to be exclusive.
I wonder if some providers are getting emailed this false infomation by a fake AW account?
Cleo also got the same confomation as I did yesterday.
The Terms and conditions with regards to content and stuff was just confusingly worded so that it seemed like ALL pictures needed to be exclusive - It had been worded this way for years. This is what they corrected yesterday. There's nothing to worry about now.

It really wasn't, they changed the wording in May. Previously it was only on the page where you add the 3 profile photos, and that was a relatively recent addition. I remember checking the user agreement when girls started having problems with Sweetkick insisting it was the profile photos and the free gallery ones.

ATTENTION FOLKS!
We have a guy from AW who wants to hear from us, he's a UX designer/strategist at AW. I've been exchanging emails with him already, his name is Paul Coffield and his email address is
[email protected]
I know some have been messaged by him already and we mentioned him further up in the tread a little while ago. He has asked me write this post...he's open to insights from all of AW members. So if you have any issues to raise, he’d be more than welcome to hear your views on improving AW.

Bring back skype bookings

Stop denying there are issues with JCI and blaming it on models despite them having absolutely all the most up to date high tech professional equipment known to man
Simply provide us with good ongoing traffic
Recognise that cam brings you a fuck ton of money and deserves adequate traffic generation strategies

It's really weird. I had a really good day yesterday, although it was entirely through IM (weird, I know).
Every time I see someone post here saying they had a bad day, I had a good one. When I have posted in the past about having no work, other girls have told me they're doing fine. It's super random, I can't see a pastern yet.

Thanks Susie, I'll pass it on. He can't ask you more questions about it in here though. The JC1 is a bug bear of mine, back in July 2011 they admitted to me that there was a problem with the servers randomly disconnecting (or some such) and that they couldn't find why it was happening but not since have they accepted that there is a problem.

An update on the exclusive pictures thing: they doubled-back on themselves and said they were wrong in the first email, without actually admitting they were back peddling. Thanks for the poor customer service & wasted time guys!
Got an email from the UX guy too, can't respond right now but I think he has contacted you too Susie?

Yep they've said it to me too then gone back on it, along with the phone call drops and jci boot outs. I accepted long ago that AW think we are complete idiots and do not in any way see us as partners in their business. That's why i was a little irritated to see someone was now apparently asking for our input. I've messaged him back in any case. Bet he wishes he hadn't asked now!!!

I've found it pretty dead for the last week, I did slightly better on the 2nd because a reg showed up.
Think I might just keep going until I the 150 credits, cash that and take the rest of the Summer to concentrate on filming kick ass clips because sitting in a dead room all day isn't great for my mental health and also I kinda feel that sine I have so many side hustles now I can afford to not cam for a few weeks and what money there is being spent should go to people who don't have my level of privilege.

Adultwork need to do more promotion and make the site look more modern, and get rid of the bugs, it looks ancient at the moment, I have just about given up on the site. I have found it has died a death in the last 2 months, literally my room is empty, no one coming in for hours and if they do come into my room they enter for seconds and vanish, and yet on other sites I do well, so I know it is not me.
None of my regulars are coming into my room anymore, it is like I just vanished on that site, I am almost at the point of not even bothering to log in.

I constantly had connection problems all morning yesterday, getting disconnected and reconnected. Only once it was due to my internet. It took me a while to get logged on first attempt too.
It did it during a show aswell and the guy didn’t come back to me. We were quite far in so I got a decent payment from it and he probably thought there was no point carrying on but it’s not the point really.

Hi! I'm just wondering if anyone else on Adultwork has had a chat with someone called NewLeaseOfLife???
Seems like a really unstable guy! He came in to my room, and said "wow fab tits! You deserve a reward for having such great tits!" and then he tipped me 12 credits. I'm like.. okay fab, thanks.. You're too kind.
Then half an hour later he comes back in, expecting me to give him a cam show for the tips he gave me. I'm like, hey you gave them to me. I didn't ask for them. If you want a cam show then you need to come private like everyone else. He then proceeds to start calling me a vile little scamming tramp!! He got blocked obviously. But the things he was calling me were pretty shocking and I was just wondering if he has done this with anyone else, or if it was just a one off.
This kind of thing is very rare for me these days but it's still pretty nasty when it does happen.
Thanks!

I've never come into contact with him, but if he's doing it to you for sure he'll be doing it to other people. You were right to block him.
I have been getting a tone of guys PMing me their mobile numbers lately. They do this so I will call them for phone sex/phone domination. I think they want free phone sex, and even if there was such a thing (there's not, seriously, there's not) it would actually cost me money to call their international number - I'm in Australia - from my phone and talk for however long. That and I wouldn't be earning while I was wasting time on getting them off.
It frustrates me that these people do this, trying to get free cam and phone, because they know what kind of website they're on. They also know that if I went off-site, I would loose my membership and credits. I don't think there is any sort of negative repercussion for them though for trying to coax us off-site. Is there?

I haven't come across him but I haven't been camming much lately and only during the day when I do...he either thinks he can guilt trip you into a show or he is used to doing this with other girls. From the warning messages we see, I suspect other girls are doing shows this way.

No I don't think there are any repercussions for them, just for us! They MAY get blocked from the site but I've no idea to be honest.
I also get guys messaging me with their numbers. Or coming in to the free room and giving them to me. "Call me bb". I think I'll pass. "Oh well your loss!" I think I'll get over it.....

HAHA! Yes, I think you'll be just fine!
I don't imagine anyone is actually going for it, but so long as they don't have anything negative happen to them, they will keep doing it.
The UX guy was actually telling me the other day that if girls don't want to be banned from the platform, they shouldn't be breaking the rules. I was like... huh? But you ban them when they don't break the rules, and from what I've seen... pretty much all the clients are breaking the rules with impunity.
Such a weird website, honestly.

I think the issue here may be the type of guy / freeloader that comes into free chat. I've only rarely had rudeness from anyone in paid chat and I'd rather poke my eyeballs out with a rusty spoon than do any free chat. Not because I think I'm 'worth' more or anything, I have done free chat and it did work for a bit.
But honestly it attracts the worst of the worst. The less someone pays, the more they expect, weirdly. The biggest issue I ever had with an idiot on AW was someone who came into free chat, was very rude in front of other people, got blocked on cam and then sent insulting messages. Nasty piece of work. Never had that kind of problem with guys who pay. Plus I can't deal with the constant being 'on show' in free. I'd rather spend the down time doing something useful!
Free chat has its place, it can drum up business. But for me, far too many downsides.

I get what you're saying. I know a lot of women don't cam in the free room at all. I do it on and off. When I do "free preview", I find that I do make significantly more money. The only downside is that you get the nasty freeloaders! But I just kick them. Freeloaders are so easy to weedle out and then block so I try not to let it put me off.

You shouldn't let it put you off, especially if you make more money! IIRC I did do better at the time but I'm not a patient person! Also I have other things I do online so it helps me to do them in between getting a cam customer, I can't on freeview. I always felt that I should be interacting with everyone who comes in, otherwise how can I tempt them to pay for a show! I know some that do free just kind of ignore the guys but I don't really get that.
And yes the freebie hunters will very often come back again and again, I think once someone's done that at least 2 or 3 times it's time to block, they won't ever spend anything. Not sure if you've done this but I'm sure it used to be 5 minutes you could limit the free time to?

I used to feel the same about free chat, even despite the fact that I would tend to notice that if ever I was having a slow day, it could be solved a lot of the time by jumping into freeview for a bit.
I had a change in mindset though recently as I thought back to when I used to do telesales where I’d have to trawl through tonnes of data to reach the sales and realised freeview is about the same really. So I alternate between freeview and waiting for paid. I try and do freeview for as long as possible now until it gets on my nerves and then turn it off.
I totally agree with, ‘the less someone pays, the more they expect’ too. I’m still quite new but I’ve played with my prices a bit recently and I notice that when my rates were lower, they expected the entire job lot in group mode. Now I’ve raised them again, guys have been taking me into group and then before I know it, they’re saying, “in fact I want to get you naked so I’ll take you to private!” and so they do. I get less questions about how much they can get out of me in group too.

I don't do cam, but when I did free IM, I Found that the same couple guys kept popping up. Then when I changed to paid 2 actually started paying. I don't think they would have paid if I still offered free.
The switching between free and paid thing has its merits, but it's nice to not have that annoying noise come on and have to rush to the computer only to find it's someone who isn't actually paying.

It's about finding what works best for you. When I'm camming, I do free preview as much as possible as it works best for me. I don't sit smiling at the screen while they wank though...I acknowledge them when they come in and then busy myself on another laptop, and I'll engage if they talk to me...I don't give them what they're looking for in free. They can see me and if they want more from me they have to do something about it, I'm friendly but I do not fawn over every guy who comes in and pretend to be horny or look desperate.
I'm in free when doing instant message too, I will kick boring guys who never come into paid. I chat without giving too much and I will tell them when the conversation needs to be continued in private, then it's their choice...bugger off or start paying.

It's generally much slower than DirectCam but can be worth doing when you can't cam and sometimes I make more than if I had cammed that day - they're both so variable. I have a few regulars who chat for different lengths of time (just like cam) and it's much easier for me to do IM as it takes me quite a while to set up for cam, plus I can just sit there in my nightie and glasses with no make-up, looking very non-cam ready! There are guys who prefer IM, you can imagine more than you see and it's great for role playing. Some guys will also go on DirectChat and DirectCam as well as IM. Some guys just want to talk about their experiences, they don't need to see you to do that and IM is cheaper.

Thank you, I honestly thought IM would be a bit pointless to tell the truth. I really enjoy doing Directcam BUT I find it quite isolating being in the same room in my house all day when I'm logged in, with IM I could move my laptop anywhere and get some extra hours in. Possilbly!

I've just uploaded some Private pictures & I noticed on the picture upload page & the phone icon is lit green but my cam icon isn't !!! I thought it should be lit green? Everything is green on my profile page.
All as I've had tonight on AW is 2 emails - one idiot with no feedback asking if he can have a phone & cam session & how much will it cost & another asking if I fancy meeting him for drink when he comes to Manchester next week.
I know it's the holidays but not even a peeper for me ;)

It's all the same for me too, I thought Kristen was talking about the little webcam icon that used to light up green that doesn't anymore.

Yes, I was talking about the little green webcam icon that wasn't lit green on the Private Picure page when I uploaded a picture. My phone chat icon was green just not the webcam.
I had a look at some of the listings on the featured webcam pagege & some had the webcam icon lit green, so it should've been green on the Private Picture page because I was logged on for cam.
I did get a guy just after I posted, but he came through my actual profile page not my cam thumb nail & then I got a few more in whilst he was in.
I'm still convinced I wasn't showing on the correct cam pages & I emailed admin 3 x about it yesterday & don't think whoever was getting my message was understanding what I was trying to explain, so tonight I will check if I'm showing on the Direct Cam pages & take screen shots of the Private Picture upload page if it's not showing the green cam icon on my picture upload again.

Have been on AW a few years and have had a few Private Galleries (in individual Albums, for example, titled: Schoolgirl, Secretary, Nurse etc). I always thought that when someone purchased an Album (Private Gallery) they paid for 1 Album (at a time), however by accident today I discovered that when they purchase access to a Private Gallery they see ALL the Galleries/Albums.
I am totally confused, as I said above I always thought that Galleries/Albums were individually bought and also it doesn’t make sense as surely if I uploaded a New Pvt Gallery Album this week and a regular who had ticked the ‘inform me when sexychops uploads new images’ (or whatever the phrase is)….. that when they get a email Notification surely they only want to see the NEW (recently) uploaded images, not ones they might have seen ages ago.
Or even if it’s a NEW customer, it means they don’t have to buy each pvt gallery album individually they see them ALL?! – I am sure I remember seeing yonks ago others saying on a Forum it is a pity that when we get the forwarding email from AW informing us ‘Someone has purchased a Private Gallery’ that we don’t know WHICH one it is they have purchased…………………. And I remember thinking the same myself… in other words it helped us know what sort of images we uploaded were popular…..that being the case, the system doesnt make sense... anyhow I digress, albeit slightly!
Soooo….. I would be hugely grateful if someone could provide clarity as to how the AW Private Gallery system actually works? Am I doing something wrong? I would prefer if I could individually price each Album that is purchased or is that not possible? I am TOTALLY confused, (I have looked on the site but all the Album prices even if I alter the price seem to be lumped into one, which I don't want - in other words the Buyer is getting access to all my Albums at once).
Sorry for rambling...... but its doing my head in as am now thinking perhaps it has been like this all the time/for years (& I didn't know/realize.. esp when you get the email Pvt Gallery has been purchased it doesn't tell you which one... or maybe that is why! because they see all) ....or.. has it recently changed, i.e., how they do the pricing structure. (I can't find anything in the Help centre etc).
If anyone knows how to change it so I can individually price Pvt Gallery albums I would be most grateful as I am totally stumped.:O

I THINK I might have sorted it, although I don't know what guys will see from their end when they go to purchase a Gallery... basically I seen this on AW:
How do PINs work?
Private Gallery album PINs allow you to give members free access to one or more of your albums. This can be useful if you wish to have a customized album for particular members, or if you wish to allow members to buy the PIN for particular albums instead of subscribing to the entire gallery.
and
Private Gallery Albums
Use this page to define picture albums in to which you can organise and group your private gallery pictures.
If you assign a PIN number to an album, you can then give out that PIN number to people so that they can access the pictures within the album for free. If you set a PIN Price then members can buy the PIN for that amount.
Previously I had set a Price and had the 'PIN Number' box filled in on each Album (in case I wanted to give out a Free pin to a reg so they could see 1 album!) -- I never bothered filling in the other box stating 'PIN Price' (both boxes state Optional so I only bothered with the Free Pin access one) --- now I have individually priced each box in the 'PIN Price' field, so hopefully that will do the trick!
Can't believe I've made this mistake all these years!
Am wondering now when (if!) someone makes a purchase will I get an email notification stating the actual Name of the Album they've purchased or if it will be still the same 'Someone has purchased a Private Gallery' (or whatever it says) ---- if it is the former, then it seems I may not be the only one to make this error (as I recall seeing on forums in the past others wishing they could see which Albums were being purchased).

Oh for goodness sake… I tested what a buyer might see by logging into a different browser and it is still showing as:
Access to xxxx Private Gallery costs X.99 credit(s) for 3 Days
How can I get RID of this feature,? I do NOT want to sell my Albums collectively/ALL as one Album, I much prefer the individual pricing (& viewing system).
When I try to delete the price for there it shows:
Pricing Plans for Access
Plan 1 is required, others optional.
Is there no way to workaround this? Perhaps by putting a STUPID price/amount that no-one will buy… as I only have a few albums.
Also now next to each Album it is showing, View with Pin, Buy with Pin, which is fine.. but how do I get rid of the other option? It is driving me nuts and taking up my whole evening! I thought brilliant, I had it sorted until I tested it from the other browser (to see what potential buyers will see) and then I see the ‘Access to blah blah....Subscribe' etc.....Grrrrrr
*Bangs head* :banghead:
Sorry to hijack this thread. Only its enormously frustrating.
P.S.
(Surely I can’t be the only one with this issue, i.e., who doesn’t want the option of selling all Albums in one lump?!….. if I put a stupid price, like £50 for 24 hours I am worried I may get penalized by AW, however I am only doing it as a deterrent, I do not want anyone to buy my Albums collectively… hence me putting in the Price on the PIN price feature individually – also if I put 00.00 as the price then surely they will see them all for FREE!!! – HELP!).

Hopefully I've attached these right, but my cam icon still isn't green on any of the pictures. Phone chat is just not cam
I'm going to check if I'm not busy that I am showing on the Direct Cam pages

Since they disabled the pre-booked webcam, skype etc the green light doesn't work anymore. It was only for prebooked stuff. Not much point having it anymore really...
Apologies for quoting myself!
The cam icon is still there, presumably to tell guys we offer Directcam same as always. But it does not light up green anymore. It only ever used to light up green when we ticked the 'available for webcam' option, which no longer exists.
The icon turning green never had anything to do with being logged into JCI, and you should still show as normal on the Directcam page as long as you are connected to JCI.

It looks like it is the same for others who are logged into Direct Cam but the camera (video icon) symbol is not showing in Green (in thumb image), although when clicking on/looking at their profile page it shows in Green as Available (for Direct Cam), I'd hazard a guess it is something to do with what was said previously above, about the recent Disabling of the Webcam services. (By the way I looked under Direct Phone Chat - Available Now).
I also looked for you under 'Direct Cammer of the Day - under 'Online Now' and found you, however I availed of search function using your age! as otherwise there is apparently nearly 600 Cammers online at the min.. (& my eyes are getting very bleary!)... but you are there but I see what you mean. Must be the de-activation of Webcam/Skype feature (as when we log in now it highlights it is Disabled).
AW need to or will I am sure sort out this technical issue.

Black screen in justcamit this morning - down to Logitech software needing to update. That then messed up my laptop and I had to restart a couple of times, then guys were seeing a black screen when I could see myself but going into free preview resolved it. Great fun when I had a customer waiting and the same thing happened last time he asked me to go on for him!
