Not sure if this is the right place but here goes, one to avoid ladies - just had this charmer.
Hitler_loves_women69: what the fuck r u doing in here when u dont want to show ur bloody fucking face
Hitler_loves_women69: STUPIS BITCH
Hitler_loves_women69 leaves the room
Thankfully I was in time to block. I was actually going to post on another thread the other day to say I really don't get that many trolls or nastiness on cam. This is the worst I've had so I guess I'm quite lucky but it doesn't feel very nice right now.
Yeah i find on AW most of the guys are alright, and somw downright worship you. Then you get the odd crazy guy who is clearly using AW as his platform to anonymously make himself feel big by being abusive to women. I just block and move on. Hope you're okay after this utter twat!!

I'm fine thank you! :) I know some get WAY worse than this and I feel for them. I probably do get less of this crap as I don't show my face so they can't see my irritated expressions or make comment on my looks which I much prefer. Makes you wonder where this kind of crap comes from, it was so aggressive and that was all that was said, just came into free and you see the rest.
Twat!

Yep the new player is a load of shit. AW have been notified and screen grabs of the guys complaining they couldnt connect so I'm dreading JCI being discontinued.

I have only ever worked 2 sites, AW and SM.
Streamate went live with SMconnect in July 2018 and was made the only option for streaming in June this year. That is almost 2 years where both streaming methods were running alongside each other. Models were invited to give feedback through a dedicated messaging system on the stream itself, and in paid feedback sessions of about 20 minutes a time. The new streaming portal had issues at first but is now better than the old one ever was. Throughout the whole changeover I never once worried about the rollout affecting my income.
When SMconnect was made available on July 18, it had direct connected tip vibes as a new feature and so using the new platform paid for itself, balancing out any features that weren't yet available. I have used it from the first day it was available as beta. I loved that it was available in dark mode and had tip vibes so I was sold straight away.
Then placement was boosted for models using the new platform as capacity was tested. Then came the bonus payments for any and all models who used the platform during given weeks to stress test the system. All this ensured a smooth transition in June, when the old flash portal was retired for good (RIP).
2. years.
good luck Adultwork, I just hope it all works out soon!

Do any of your girls only offer group/private chat but have found guys just coming in without you accepting them and chatting??
So I'm all logged in and the top left says 'WAITING' I'm on another site just doing some work when I go back to that tab to see I've had 2 guys in saying 'hi' etc! They've entered group mode and private mode but.... 1) I didnt know they were there since I was looking at something else in another tab 2) My computer didnt bleep to say they were there and aw didnt ask if I wanted to accept or reject the chats 3) Im worried they could see me since they're chatting away saying 'hi' and I was unaware 4) I thought well since they've come in I must have been paid but no payment for those.
Is aw just letting them come in without you knowing?? I don't do free chat like I say.
I like that I can just put group/private mode on and leave the room for a sec knowing no one can see me until the computer bleeps and I accept the chat.
I've left feedback for them about it just wondered if anyone else has encountered this?!

Adultwork management doesn't think of models as partners or care about the cam section at all. That's the difference :( their approach is act first, let everyone else deal with the fallout later.

Anyone using the new program see if AW are still skimming the 5%? Because they shouldn't be.

They will probably say they still have to pay a fee for the new broadcaster. They must have to pay something, I would have thought? X

Good point! Also I noticed it's not 5% anymore, it's 6%. I never noticed until recently but the VAT is added to that too. :(

The new broadcaster was probably developed for them, that's what your profit is for. . JCI is a program they have to pay to use.
But yes that's what they'll say.

Hi all, lots of emails etc coming in for the new broadcaster, people really
struggling with it and earnings non existent currently, as its new and
still in beta there is lots of figuring out to do still.
If you are not apart of a chat community yet, eg whatsapp group or the
private area on the AW forums then I would highly recommend being apart of
one.
The whatsapp is currently off due to it maxing out the device memory, staff
are working on resolving the issue but you can message in and once we fix
it we can add you to the chat group there, our number is

I tried camming with the new broadcaster last night. After a bumpy start it worked fine. I was just messing around in my cam room and thought I would try it. It was great and made over £100 just messing. Think I will try it on my phone today.

12-30-2020, 05:41 AM
Has anyone gotten the new broadcaster to work for DirectIM? Mine just says "connecting to server, please wait", but never says that it's connected. It connects to the server if I have my settings changed to show my cam, but if I just want to do IM, it doesn't seem to connect. My profile shows me as available for DirectIM, though, so I'm not sure if I actually am connected or what.

It just says connecting to server, but as I'm writing this, I've got a guy in free mode so free chat is working x

Hey Blue-Velvet, I had the same problem so I contacted them on twitter to ask yesterday and they said that as long as it says waiting that I was connected. they're Twitter people said that their techs know about this and are working to fix it.
I also saw that they've put a trouble shooting up on their twitter too yesterday evening. defo helped me as I had set my video too high for my rubbish broadband connection. I dont think I can put a link here but its on their twitter wall

Well I spent 4 hours on the new broadcaster today. First time I've used it. All I can say is thank god I don't use this to make my living. 20 shows, almost everyone of them got kicked. Made a total of £44 less the 35%. It would only stay connected for like 2-5 minutes at a time before going offline. Sometimes it kicks during a show but still says Private or Group show when it reconnects, I have to refresh the page to erase it. I contacted AW help and asked for the money back I spent on placing and they refunded me, but said I should make sure I've read the help section.
My download speed is 35mbps upload 16mbps
I've tried reducing the bandwidth to 400, resolution to 640x380.
Tried Chrome, Firefox, Edge. (Have latest version of each) Used the help tool to check my system, everything has a tick.
Complained to AW that they had a cheek still charging the facility fee for this piece of crap, replied with basically tough luck.
I'm not going to bother with it again till its been up and running for a couple of months, I don't need the stress.

Weird stuff occurring on AW today but nothing to do with the new broadcaster. Up until yesterday my cam facility fees were 6%, having gone up in November from the original 5%. Checking today's cam earnings and the cam facility fee is back to 5%.
Not only that, when I went to set my positioning prices for tomorrow, there was no pop up box to tell me about the VAT. I'll be checking tomorrow to see what I've been charged. Every little helps as they say!
fetishqueen
01-02-2021, 01:48 AM
YIPPEE! Not only has VAT gone from the cam facility fee AND positioning costs, it's also gone from the admin fee!!! When I try to withdraw now I'm back to a 30 / 70 split instead of 36 / 64!
Not had any emails about this? IGNORE THIS IT WAS A SHORT LIVED FANTASY
In other news, I found today that even though I have sound muted through AW for free chat, it wasn't muted on the broadcaster and I had to do it manually. Luckily I'd not been on too long.

01-02-2021, 10:28 AM
This is great news.
I've not had any email about them removing the VAT from the admin fee. It's still on my rates though.
I bet we'll get a refund now like last time.
Probably not had any notification because the accounts people will be on holiday.
fetishqueen
01-02-2021, 10:33 AM
OK so now it's back to as it was :(
Everything I mentioned above is now showing with the VAT back on. I've done shows today with the lower cam facility fee and the lower positioning cost but now they are as they were.
FfS might have known it was too good to be true.

OK found out why I keep dropping out of the new broadcaster. We've just gone onto mobile internet, speeds are better than fibre for us and a lot cheaper as we've combined it with our mobile contracts. . Hubby just thought of connecting the fibre back up again as the contract hasn't run out yet. And bingo, it works fine. So now I have to get a cheap BB contract to run the broadcaster on.

Happy new year ladies. The VAT has disappeared off everything bar the cam prices....have you noticed that? Thanks x
EDIT
update: As of 1st January 2021, the UK have officially left the European Union and for VAT purposes are now considered 'Rest of World'. This means AdultWork is no longer required to apply VAT on Administration fees or promotional facilities to those offering their services from within the UK.

So. DirectIM. Why does the AW system want to use my cam and mic for a text-only service? I know JustCamIt used to want them, but that was the old separate system. Surely AW could have build a text only service that didn't require plugging in an unnecessary cam and mic?

It seems like whatever you set on AW regarding sound in free / grp / pvt is irrelevant now. The cam software opens with the audio on and you have to turn it on or off manually. On the plus side the button is green for on and red for off so I do notice if I forget to switch it.

Yep, mine was green. It was definitely ON on the software. The first guy could hear me, but no others after could. Then I found that the boxes iin my profile on the site had unticked themselves after the first guy (or at least between the first and second guys).
Going to keep an eye on this. I want it to be on 99% of the time. Will report back and report to AW if it happens again.
