Going to disagree here, I've had 2 and lost the money, not going to say what specifics in public but not all "chargebacks" are chargebacks, if you see what I mean.
Me too! I had 3 or 4 for the time I have been on aw and never got that money back.

Same. There are so many chargebacks on there and they favour the cunstomer

I never once had a chargeback when I worked on AW before. Can’t believe it! It’s put me off tbh. I’ll use it for phone chat whilst I can’t cam then but I don’t think I’ll cam there.
Tbh I don’t imagine I’ll make much money on cam there anyway if I stick with the prices I want! The overall rates were already low and they must be even lower now with VAT taken into consideration

Just a warning that phone chat can also be charged back :(

Thanks Cat, I did imagine so. IÂ’ve got to take 6-8 weeks off camming as of tomorrow for an op, so the phone chat will be just to bring in a bit of extra money whilst IÂ’m off. I think IÂ’ll be scrapping it when IÂ’m back to normal though.

Jenna don't decide not to cam there just because of a chargeback, it is a PITA but other sites chargeback too. I had one there last year for about 60 credits, I was so upset. It was reversed about 6 months later, that was a great day! So I guess it can go either way. Good luck with your Op, I hope it goes well xx

I've only ever had one CB on AW since 2012 & was for 1 credit & they did pay it to me back some time later.
I think all sites should cover CB's, we provide a very personal & intimate service on the only condition that we get paid & we trust we're going to get paid. Otherwise, it's a violation in my mind. It would be for me.
I've noticed this last couple of days in free chat IM, there's a little box next to the customer's name that says credits. Does that mean that that particular customer has got credits on his account to spend?

Yes it does. Doesn't mean they have many credits but they are above zero lol
I had an email about it from Daily Pay (although I've not used them for years I still get the emails).

I've logged on the past few days just to see if traffic has improved at all and I've earned 150+ credits every time so that's a nice addition to my daily total. It doesn't hurt to have it on in the background I guess.

A new fuck up on AW cam Freeview today - people are leaving my cam room without even entering it. They never come in, they don't show as being in the room, but the message pops up as they leave. Not only that but they ARE there. The reason I noticed it was because someone said hello to me, when he hadn't even entered the room, I thought it was empty! Since then a few people have left without entering at all. I have no idea now at anytime if someone is there or not and I don't like it. I still get some coming in ok but not all.
I've had quite enough of this rubbish. Is anyone else getting the same? And before it's mentioned, my connection is top notch so it's not that. Fed up with all this tbh!
I have this now. People are leaving without me being told they're there in the first place. Also, the ones I AM being told about are showing as not receiving video or audio. What fresh pile of shit is this???

I like this new feature (showing who has credits), you can see which ones to vaguely ignore lmao. Would be great if the rest of the cam window worked properly too, though.

I have sent feedback on a few occasions regarding this. I honestly thought I was going mad but now I know I'm not!
I used to prefer when JCI showed you what their connection was like, remember that? You could see when it dropped so you could tell the issue was the customer, at least I assumed so. Mind you Cat, at least now we know it's not our end. Not that it helps but I don't like thinking it's something I'm doing wrong that I could fix.
I also do like the new credits thing, now if they could show how many, that would be better!
Hello, what is the penalty for losing phone calls on AW?

Hello, what is the penalty for losing phone calls on AW?
Nope, not that I'm aware of. And I missed a few ;) When you're busy on a call on AW , any other costumer can call you too when you don't switch your profile on offline. (I guess no one does that) . he won't even hear a busy tone ... and he will call back again and again. They all would count as missed calls too. AW has a very oldfashioned system when it comes to direct calls. It would be great to sow that you're busy on a call already

I had a similar issue myself when I got back on cam last year. I was using the wrong Logitech app. Now I log onto to Logi Capture ( which I hate ) I try & tweak my setting the best I can & then I log onto AW & start to stream with Logi Capure still open.
Make sure that you select Logi capture as your cam source & if you do a c2c & you want to be able to hear your customer, you need to click the sound icon at the bottom right of his screen. The default is no sound.
Hope you get it sorted x

So I was camming as per usual on adultwork when it suddenly logged me out - when I went to log back in it said that my accounthas been temporarily suspended because my email is invalid eventhough I have not changed it and my email is exactly the same as it always has been... what's going on? ):

Hi Ladies. I haven't been on Adult Work for a while now and I used to do the direct IM messaging as well as direct camming. I can only see the direct camming and can't see the direct messaging on there. Has it changed?

Sounds like lots of people are having problems offering free preview on the site right now. Anyone else get it were it says you are "waiting" for free instead of being in free chat and it stops people coming in. And then it will randomly put you into free chat for a bit, then flick to waiting once more. Over and over again, so annoying!
Again I contacted support and they were about as useful as a brick wall. Told me to refreshing cache, cookies etc which I did, no luck
Told me to use firefox instead of chrome which i tried but it was even worse!!
fetishqueen
02-23-2022, 03:32 PM
I thought that 'waiting' was when we are in free but no-one else is in the room, and 'free chat' when someone else is in? That's how mine is anyway. Although as I've posted before, there is still some kind of nonsense where guys are leaving free before they have joined they room, sometimes then it can show as 'free chat' even if the room seems empty because someone IS there, there just wasn't a notification that they has joined. Confusing, yes. Typical, also yes.

Is anyone else having this problem, i unticked sms i got a text to say verify telephone number, i did but it didnt verify as the message was still there, i did it about 10 times, same so i got a new sim and the same thing, the text goes through but i cannot verify. Aw keep messaging that its your phone company but my messages are going through as its costing me. I dont know what to do.

I haven't gotten one in ages, but last night I logged on and got one of AW's famously threatening messages telling me off for accepting payment offsite. I absolutely, categorically have not done this. It made my mind wonder where they got this idea from and the only thing I can think is that earlier in the day a guy asked me if I'd watch him during a call. I replied that if he called me on DirectChat and told me his Skype username, I'd be happy to watch him during a call. Do you think the mention of Skype is what flagged me up in the system? Are we not allowed to do this (exchange skype usernames and watch people during a DirectChat anymore)? Is Skype a forbidden word?

I imagine so, the word Skype has been banned on cam for a long time, if they ask they have to misspell it to get round the ban.

Yes cannot mention off site systems for cam, selling photos, private phone chats etc. I know you were still just using the DC system (so AW still making money) but it's most likely why you've received a warning.
I make a very bland reply, advising cannot mention other systems etc.

I think they use bots. In the past on the old player, it would kick out someone who used a pound sign. I noticed this once with a guy who wanted to buy me some lingerie & every time I tried to tell him the price it kicked him.
I sometimes do 1-way by using Direct Cam. I start the chat in IM & then switch over if they want it. I usually make a special offer for them at the same rate as my pvt IM & then cover my inbuilt cam so that they can't see me.
I'm not going to be doing them anymore though because I sometimes do normal cam & these 1-way guys seem to start feeling entitled to special offers/treatment all the time & I do get others trying to get in thinking I'm offering pvt at a low rate but, if you only do IM/Phone it could work out quite well.

A regular had his emails deleted before arrival by AW because he included a link to a website selling clothing (and likely sex toys etc), he wanted to show me a particular style of kink/fetish type clothing. He thought I was deleting his emails without reading. He got in touch with AW who stopped deleting his emails.

They've increased their email monitoring. I had someone ask about movies and I referred to C4S...normally that wouldn't have been picked up but it triggered one of their emails this time.

I just replied to the message he sent me via AW, so I assume they have have a system of picking up flagged words like Skype or PayPal or Amazon. I was just being stupid as I haven't been asked for "watch me during a call", so totally forgot that Skype is banned.

I get a fair few emails that I can't even read because the member is no longer active & I always suspected they'd been banned because they asked for Skype or PP or something.
It's easy for them to create a list of banned words & different miss-spellings of banned words & then bots just take down the listing.
My own listing was instantly taken down by the bot when I used a banned word on my listing. As soon as I added the word & clicked save, my profile was taken down, it wasn't a person that did it. I had to contact them to re-instate my profile & they said I can't use that word, not in any context.

Quite a few guys deactivate their account when they log out, I have content forwarding so have seen the email wording. Also some do it after submitting booking forms and or feedback. As happened to me recently.

The word that got my profile taken down was B*S*I*Ality. I was trying to prevent those sorts of calls. It's using those sorts of words that get you instantly hidden from public view.
Don't worry about updating your profile. I always update mine shortly before I'm about to log off but, it only happened to me once & it's how I know they use bots & not just moderators.

What section do Ladies offering Femdom services usually select? Dom is male.

He goes under the name Davio86 I have reported him to AW is he something to do with the AW team? Or was he hacking into the directcam system? it said (FreeMode)Davio86 and none of the boxes are ticked in my cam settings so god knows how he appeared to be there? just thought I would share that with you just incase it happens to all of you x

Yes that happens, don't worry! Some kind of weird glitch where members leave the room before even entering, and sometimes show as entering and leaving very quickly but still show as in the room, you can't kick them because they aren't actually there. Only way to get rid of the name showing is to log off and back on again. But yes, irritating but perfectly normal on AW.

Ok, he was already in the room then another person wanted to come in luckily my cam was else where and wasn't positioned to my face. I did report it to AW and they told me next time to take a screen shot and that the username I gave them didn't exist on their system which made me think it was a hacker.
