I ALWAYS report these twats and paste the full email into the message. Each time AW has banned them.
REALLY!? Maybe that's why a couple guys have popped up as 'no longer a member' when I logged in and checked my messages after the weekend. It won't even show me what they said. Hmmm...

I do this, I think it's 4 credits for 6 months or something. So useful, seeing as otherwise they can see if / when you read the message.
(So they can't whinge and moan and send '???' when you ignore them for being idiots...)

@Fetish - The cam icon is lit green on some providers featured listings - I had a look on the webcam featured page on the night I discovered mine isn't lit green.
It's only the webcam green link that has now disapeared, the little direct Cam icon should be lit green when we are featured & logged on available for cam.
For some reason mine isn't & some peoples is?

This providers has both Cam & Phone icons lit green in her featured advert today.
Most don't have their green cam icon lit up, but some have.
Sorry it's poor picture quaility my room is quite dark today.

I messaged them 3x about it on Saturday & I'm not doing it again just receive replies with links to articles that don't even come close to answering my query. I just ended up stressing myself out & I think admin was feeling it going off his/her typo's in the replies.
This is why I'm posting what I was trying to explain to them on here in hope that someone from the technical team will see it & fix it.

I have a theory about this now. I looked up the profile you showed, took a bit of finding! She offers pre-booked phone chat which doesn't seem that common. I wonder if it's the 'pre-booked' thing that lights up the cam? Now I do know that phone chat is represented by the phone icon but it's the only thing I can see which may explain it. Otherwise I just don't know.

I don't know but the cam icon should be green when we're available & paid to feature. Imagine the stress it would cause the Escorts if their icon didn't show green when they'd paid for featuring.
I'm wondering if it's a server thing & the icon lights up depending on which server you're on. The lady above who's icon is green was featuring for text chat when I found her. *edit* Just noticed her text chat isn't green even though that's what she's paid to feature.
Tomorrow - I'll upload Pvt pictures again & I'll enable phone bookings to see if that makes any difference.

Most are still not lit green though. I've just had a quick look at the featured cam page & there's one featured ad that's got a green link to her free room but her cam icon isn't green, so doing free doesn't make a difference.
If I was a customer going through that page looking for someone to cam with, the only way I'd know that they were available if they're offering free or I clicked on the actual profile to see when she's available.
That icon means available right now & if it's not on it could cost sales & it is - No wonder daily featuring for cam doesn't really increase sales all that much.

I don't know Cat but I give up.
I tried to explain to them again yesterday about this issue & they just don't get it at all.
The reply I got this last time was that I have to be logged on to Just Cam to be available now - Like I don't know this already. I was on cam at the time emailed.
It doesn't matter how many different ways I try to explain the issue - they just don't get it.

AW admin thinks that my cam icon is not green because I am not logged on to Direct Cam.
I took these pictures about 15 mins ago all at the same time. I'm featured for cam today & no green icon. I took a picture of my profile page to show that I am logged on for cam. The third picture is a different featured webcam provider who has a red link to show she is logged on and in private, but again no green webcam icon.
I've even pointed out this thread to admin 7 I don't know what else I can do now to make them see & understand that there is an issue with some providers green webcam icon not lighting up when it should.
It's not due to any delay on the server because even after being online for 3 hours - my green cam icon still is not lit.

I've just seen two listings online right now with the green cam icon & both of the profiles still show them as being online for both Webcam & Direct Cam - That's what it is.
I've just been into my settings though & I can't find a way to make myself available for Webcam, it's all greyed out.
How are they managing to make themselves available for both?
Anyway, I'm not stressing myself out about it anymore. It was what lead me to believe I was showing up online at all last Saturday.
Kristen_Krystal
07-18-2019, 04:46 PM
I wonder if it is because they were/are using other messengers like MSM & This is how they are able to still be available for both cam & webcam? I tried setting up a special offer to see if that would allow me to tick the webcam box again but it didn't work

I just logged on here now to say the exact same thing Sylvy. Yesterday I was still able to do pre-booked phone via Skype & tonight I logged on it had gone because I did pre-booked phone session & noticed it then. Thankfully my caller uses normal phone & not the Skype.
It's weird this & yet some providers appear to still have the ability to offer webcam bookings & I noticed their links after my Skype with phone option disappeared.
Callers can still pre-book using normal phone & my Direct Chat is still enabled.

I no longer have the option to offer phone via skype amd my webcam booking settings are greyed out. However my webcam and phone green lights were on when i was camming earlier. I was available for pre booked phone, direct chat and direct cam. Guys seemed to have no issue finding me although i noticed a much higher proportion are now coming through via AW live and therefore only seeing a pic and not full bio which is somewhat annoying but rollers gotta roll.. x
Kristen_Krystal
07-18-2019, 08:43 PM
Your little green cam icon was on do you mean Susie like in the pictures I posted above?
I'd come to the conclusion tonight that those who have the green icon lit green have it that way because they still have the ability to Webcam not just Direct Cam.
I've never had a customer tell me he came through AW live but I never usually ask. I wonder if I'm even showing up on there at all.
They were a provider on the main page yesterday & her little cam icon wasn't on but when I clicked onto her profile she was available for cam. So it does seem that most cam profiles don't show the green icon unless they're available for Webcam & Direct Cam.

I did see your listing tonight on the phone chat available now page when I went to re-set my availabilty & your cam icon wasn't on then, but you might not have been logged on for cam. Saying that no-ones green cam light was on exept one person's. The person with Webcam - Direct Cam & Chat all available on her profile.
I've got to stop stressing about green icons now - I've got more important things to do now :-X

You're right Cat - I've just tried out what you said - I texted back ON & my profile number & it's made me available for Webcam.
It's the 1st time ever texted using that option, but it's no good for me in the long run because I use pay-as-you-go.

I did wonder! Wow, they haven't changed this yet. Also it's a premium number, so people on contract will have to pay per text (as I found out when I used the ON text once!)

Yes, they just did like half a job when they removed the Skype booking option. If we want out little cam icon lit green to show we available on our paid-for featuring - we have to pay again to switch on by texting ON to a premium number.
Surely this could be quickly fixed by someone with a little tech knowledge. Direct Phone Chat & Escorting Icons light up green, so it's only fair cam does too.
Maybe they will fix it when they bring in this new cam player.

It's been a long time since I did daily featuring for webcam but I remember that when I did instant message (DirectIM) at those times, which uses justcamit, the camera light came on, on the featured page. I was not going online for booked webcam as I was only using justcamit. It used to be fun because so many guys would come in expecting to see me!

How is traffic for you,ladies ? last few days I spent 5+ minutes in free chat without nobody coming in...and when they eventually did,they left in a few seconds,don t even get the chance to say hi
I did the usual but is still the same...this summer sucks 51625
Kristen_Krystal
07-23-2019, 03:09 PM
Traffic is very slow this week for me too on AW. I've not been on cam for the last 4 days because I know it's just not going to be worth getting all ready & putting make-up on for & it's just too hot. I'm too hot to even finish off editing pictures that I've done lately.
I've been doing free chat in IM & there's not many coming in there for a free chat either.
Adultwork sucks this summer - nothing I do seems to improve things anymore, but on my other site which I just tend neglect - there hasn't been any decline in sales. I'm making more this year than I did the last.
It's a shame because I like being paid directly into my bank in GBP & I don't like change - once I find something I like I tend to stick with it, but there comes a point where you just have to go where the money is & focus your effort & energies on what is going to pay off & for me it's not AW anymore.
I think sometimes we can do too much & be around too much. I've noticed I do much better on cam when I'm not regular. I think a few hours once or twice a week would probably work best o9n AW

I had someone request a 'silent call' where I talk and they just listen. He had a super vague fantasy (as in - one sentence), and I was a bit funny on it... how will I know if he's into it if he doesn't talk? Also, how do I know he's not underage? How do you girls deal with this sort of request?
I feel like this sort of request could easily be made to someone making MP3s (and would be cheaper). Why make live calls?

He won't be underage - I'll be because he's not alone at home.
If he says something like - " can't talk cause wifes next to me in bed " Then he's got like a " Home Wrecker " Fetish so, make sure you mention her a lot & what you would do to him whilst she was right there - snoring - that kind of thing. His wife is his trigger so talk about her sparingly & increase how much you say " wife " when you want him to cum.
Sometimes you need to email them back & just push them to be a little more specific about what they would like you to talk about. Sometimes they're vague for a reason & when you push them it can turn out that they want some pretty nasty shit that you wouldn't want to do - especially on a silent call.
Usually, you can hear them breathing & even though the ask for a silent - they often do talk a little or whisper.
Sometimes, I don't think it matters what you talk about - they just want to hear someone & someone to share their masturbation with. I get a few like this - they get off on your accent/voice.

So I've been on adultwork for 8 long years but I still can decided whether free chat helps or not?
On the one hard it keeps me occupied and you don't always realise how long its been since a call, also makes me feel more pro active to getting money. on the flip side its a lot of "hello hru" and saying no to annoying requests.
So wanted other peoples views on free chat or no free chat?
I have a target I have to hit every day i think sitting there waiting for calls gives me anxiety that no one will call.

No help Im afraid but I don't know if Free Chat does me more harm than good. I can sit there for an hour and a half with nothing. The second I come out of free I get call after call - some from guys that were in my chat room. I assume ebcause they cant wank over a face any longer. I feel more actively productive doing free chat but I puts me in a stinking mood - same guys, same quesions, same chat. Out of free I do a lot of editing and marketing so I'm more productive in the sense that shit gets done.

I've tested doing paid only against free preview and doing free definitely works better for me. Sometimes I will go between the two and that has it's advantages as well.
I don't sit facing the screen the whole time. My cam laptop is to the side and another laptop is in front of me, which I busy myself on when nothing is happening - they don't get to wank while I smile at the screen waiting for them to type or start a show. I only turn my head to look at the screen when they come in or when they talk to me. Otherwise they get a side view of me and can see what I'm wearing.
Just spoke to aw via live chat and they advised they are going to update software so users wont have issues with c2c and need to use skype, they also confirmed its because they cant manage disputes with skype bookings due to being offsite. Also confirmed I cant take payment via a client tipping in free and then moving to skype.
Let's hope they update c2c to something that works just as well as Skype. I have a feeling it might also be something to do with the Microsoft TOS being all anti-adult now! Meh.

Thanks Katy. I have already seen that and also a few years back edited the Public (free parts) of my Profile accordingly – the only thing I didn’t/haven’t done is tick that box! (under the ‘My Details’ ‘Your Profile’ ‘Pictures’).
Here’s why.. I think it stemmed from this …. a few years back when all this age verification malarkey was first referred to..... under ‘My Details’ ‘Edit Profile’ ‘Profile Details’ ‘General’ – (see below re Consumer AV VOD) I ticked the box regarding this (AV), then to my horror guys (regs) started emailing me (panicy) stating they couldn’t get into my Cam Room! (I was sitting there thinking its quiet tonight, until emails like this started rolling in!).
So…. I then decided to UNTICK the box….. because of this experience, i.e., folk not being able to Cam with me --- it then made me wary of ticking other boxes I guess! Including the one I referred to above… that said as I stated I have amended all the content accordingly………. So I guess I should tick it! I just wanted to know/see if others have done so.
Perhaps since then a lot of the guys have become ‘age verified’ and at the start when it was first introduced and I ticked the box a lot of them hadn’t… am just guessing that is what happened. I’m assuming its ‘safe’ (for want of a better word!) to do so now!
If others have done so (& its not impacted on their earnings or they’ve not had any complaints from guys trying to cam with them etc), then I guess it is time for me to re-check the box and to check the other box referred to above.

Yes, I forgot about the cough - I always tell them to cough so I know it's them when I email them back.
One thing with the silent caller guys is they can have a tendancy to email back & fourth quite a lot before they actually call . Usually they go into so much detail about they want & then by the time they call they're ready to burst & the call is done in about two mins. I try & get them calling at firsts email.
