Hi girls and Kim,
I have two questions:
1.) my friend wants to do account on cam4 that she performs and all the time gets this error: ALERT: Username and/or email is invalid, or already exists. Please try again.
Which cant be right. Because she tried totally new username, password and new email, three times, three different onese and the result is always this ALERT
2.) How do i block a user on cam4 who is on purpose all the time rating me 1 star and being rude to me? Can i block him now when im not online broadcasting as well somehow? Then is he blocked from my room for good or just for one day?
Please anyone who knows, im thankfull for your replies!
Huggs,
Sam
Sam , I'm not sure if this helps but when I signed up for cam4 I was getting the same error msg. Turns out they don't allow special characters like !?*$ etc in the password. I usually use a ! In my password so once I removed it I was able to sign up.
Hopefully that helps her :-)
Thak you TatooedBBW ! :) I will tell her to try that . Kiss

I was wondering, how important are ratings on Cam4?
I've be running an 'antagonize' hustle there. (Entertain the paying boys by being mean the the ones that don't.)
I know that ratings mean practically nothing on MFC but it never occurred to me to ask how important they are to placement on Cam4?

^^^ I have wondered this as well JAC. My thought is that ratings, favorites, and subscribes could all be factors in placement. But it seems to me that the most important factor is number of users in your room...which seems to be tied to placement and thus likely the other things play in there as well.
Tsani
02-04-2014, 03:26 PM
From what I can see, ratings mean nothing when it comes to online placement. Not sure if it affects offline placement. If it is tied to placement though they should only allow people who have tipped you to rate you.
Ratings don't effect placement that I can see. Placement is determined by how many people are in your room.

Laurie - Simply refresh your screen hon or log out and back in. If you are using the private show software, however, it's just ending the private show and you'll be taken back to the public chat of your room.
Winona - I believe we are looking into adding such a button but will double check.
Samm - Have your friend contact
[email protected]; they should be able to figure out what the problem is.
As for blocking - the joke is really on him. Someone can only rate you once, so even if he comes in and ten times a day hits the 'one star' it wouldn't matter nor can it affect your overall rating.
I'm going to see if it's possible that we add the feature for you to add someone to your ban list via your profile, I think it would be a good option for performers and even regular members to have.
Cherry - Great! Thank you for letting me know about your pic/video set-up. Let me know how you're doing with that.
It's a pity guys attempt to talk performers into something. I saw one the other night where guys tried to tell a new performer she needed a gold membership before she could receive tokens - that's why they couldn't send them. *rolls her eyes*..
Jac - In the future we're hoping for you to have the ability to pick and choose an imagem to remain/delete or even keep to sell.
If I missed anything from anyone please let me know!
Thanks!

yes they still see.
Ignore is not really meant for models from what I understand. It's more for viewers i think.

This might have been asked in this thread but I didn't see it-
I know the site says when requesting payout by Payoneer it takes 3 working days but is there anyone who's received it sooner? I requested payout this morning and am really hoping it comes in tomorrow as I'm broke as hell! So if anyone's got any good stories of it coming in earlier please share ❤️ This is my 1st payout thanks!
Also what time does the payment usually come in for you ladies? Early mornings? Same time as Streamate? Thanks for the info!

Kim, I have a question for you. Is there a way to permanently ban someone besides the ban button? I had a guy pressuring to meet me IRL, which I won't do. Then trolling my room trying to get another cam girl to private message him to meet up. So I banned him and now he is sending me private messages. I ended up just logging off (which I was about to do anyways) but I don't want to deal with him any more.
What can I do?

depends. Most of the time once I drop my payoneer $ it shows up within 24 hours. But it depends WHEN you drop it [ like if you drop it late in the day it'll prolly take 48 hours not 24 cos it'll go into the next payout, or if you drop it too close to the weekend]
Similliar thing. I want to block this guy he is all the time offering to meet him and that he pays for it and that he will pay other cam girl to meet etc, lies in the chatroom that he tipped me 900 tokens to do something and that i didnt do it etc, so he is all the time pulling ppl out of my room. I banned him but i dont know, is this ban only for one time, for that day? His nickname is enrique1500 from belgium. Plus his threats all the time that he knows ppl on cam4 and that they will delate me from the site and that i better look for another cam site and such things. I replied pointless threats to him. :(

When you have private chat on cam4 it doesnt make a sound (like tip has a sound) so i suggest that when girl gets private chat it should make a sound too.

I could not find my answer on cam4 or by searching here. I have only been on cam twice now. 30 minutes the last couple nights. Just trying to get used to it and see how it works. I did not do any shows but both nights I received 25 tokens in tips. My token balance shows 0? Where do I see my balance? Did I do something wrong to lose them? I'm not so worried about the 50 tokens as much as learning the mistake. I don't want to finally log on, do 3 hours worth of shows this weekend, only to discover I am doing something that is not allowing me to keep tips ;-) Like one stupid button...lol. Please help ladies.
Oh, and I saw above about the class. I subscribed and so want to do that. This place is so great. Thank you!!!

I think I desperatly need some "DO's and DON'T s" for this site. I've been checking other girls' streams but I can't now if they are doing well since the viewer count tells nothing.
For example I really don't want to show anything for free. But in this site it feels like I'll make nothing if I don't start getting naked for free. I don't see any girl hustling but it feels wierd to just sit there doing nothing(since no one tips) for hours. I think "I should be doing something to make people tip" but I really can't figure what that something is. I've read this thread too but couldn't find any tips. It seems like it is all up to chance for tippers to come in your room.
Check out some of Nikki's classes she has a a lot of goodtips on hustling on the site

LadyC - you can make sure that the only inbox messages you receive are from those on your 'friends list'. Can you private me his user name please?
Tattooed - I believe you and I discussed this privately in email but I wanted to add this:
Payment requests submitted by midnight EST, will be included in the next scheduled payout.*
The above is the requirement for receiving a payment for the next payout so always pay attention to the time you request. Most payoneer request, depending on how you have your card set to load is received within the first day.
Samm - he's been taken care of. What I usually suggest is if you can pinpoint the country someone is from, try blocking that country temporarily for a few days. Most thrive on attention so sometimes it's enough to give them the hint.
With regards to the private chat - are you referring to a private message from a gold member? I will have to see if something like this is possible. I know there are times I message a performer and it's tough to get their attention. Of course, sound would need to be on to hear it but it may help somewhat.
Scarlet - Nikki has the classes in word format as well, although you don't get the delight of seeing her in action. You may want to try using a different viewer to watch the recordings, if that isn't it let me know please.

Thanks for banning Enrique1500 for me. :) Then about private chat i meant, when someone takes you in private, it makes a green square, something like that, it was so quick to see. My sound was ON, because i was tipped before private chat. It just tells you, that u are entering private chat, then performer confirms and thats it, it doesnt make a sound, a noise or how to say it lol.. That would be good option to add. Check yourself you will see.
Thank you always for quick and helpfull replies Kim!

Question about Cam4. Everyone wants to private on skype? Is this where the money is? People told me not to do skype because they use stolen credit cards and paypal. Bad combo. . I couldnt find a thread dedicated to it. Link if I missed it please. Only been on cam like 5 times now. Not sure what I'm doing ;-(
Tsani
02-12-2014, 11:14 PM
They try to get you to pay with paypal for the skype shows. You can do skype shows for cam4 tokens if you want, but be warned that customers can easily charge back those tokens because you're going offsite and cam4 can't verify that you actually did the show so they have no choice but to refund the tokens. That's why it's not advised to do skype shows on there.

I've been approved and they sent me an email about the hourly bonus. In my country (Italy) it works differently... it's 25$/hour for the first 8 hours every week, 6 week total, plus a 100$ bonus if you completed the 8 hours every week. During the first 3 week you have to be tipped every shift (even if it's just 1tk), then from the 4th week you have to earn at last 120$/week. Also, if you complete all the 8 hours every week you get an addictional bonus of 100$.
I don't know wich way is better... in the US it's 300$ less but if you do the hours you receive the bonus no matter what, and from what I read here a shift (even a long one) with no tip it's absolutely possible on cam4.
This way you have you are paid more then other girls or other countries which are 10$ for 100 hours, so you are on better turn. Very funny system too. I wonder how each country has different and would be great if this would be written somwhere public or posted here in this thread that girls would know.
Or did cam4 change this for eveybody, new system of hourly pay?
Kim?

Did you send a request for the hourly bonus or they just added you automatically? If you did, which email did you use? I sent an email to a yahoo address of Adriana, which I had found in this thread but I haven't heard back since Sunday/Monday.
RedFairy
02-15-2014, 06:01 AM
No, they didn't add me automatically... they explained about the bonus and said that I had to wrote them back after being approved (i.e. after my first broadcast for face recognition) in order to be added. Their email is
[email protected] maybe it's something similar for the other countries, like
[email protected], and just
[email protected] for the US?
Samm, yes, it's more $$$ but if you do a 3 hours shift without getting tips for example, you lose 75$ from the bonus that week this way. Or past the 3rd week if you don't earn the minimum 120$ you don't get the bonus that week. Just depicting the worst scenario, but I'm positive. I'll start monday and let's see how it goes :)

I hope they wouldn't change it considering I was on the old system if they have changed it and I still have some hours and bonus money to get because my computer was infected so I just got it back :( Oh well hopefully they still have it all the same here. 25 an hour is really good for a bonus.

Oohhh I didn't know all that about the model bonus! I didn't get any email with information. Kim, does it work any differently, or the same for UK performers? :)
How are ladies doing on cam4 lately? Any ladies making good moneys who want to weigh in? Myself, I've been logging on for the model bonus and tried aaaaaaall kiiiiindsa hustle to get tippers but it's still not paying off. To be honest, I'm lucky to get 100 tokens for like 2 hours. :/
I tried doing the thing where I just ask for tips if the guys are enjoying me as it seems to work okay for some girls, but seemingly not for me. I still want to try to make this work though, if I can!

^^ I've just had my best night this week on Cam4 and I'd say it's really a toss up until you get a solid-viewership there. Tonight I had 3 regulars all at once spending money and I stayed on for 4 hours (making around $80). Honestly we mostly chit-chatted in between me materbating lol. I would say the hustle is very different than a lot of sites because it comes down to chance if you don't have a ton of people coming to see your shows from your own marketing. I think the biggest things that are helping me do better as time goes on are 1) twitter promotion 2) asking guys who tip/profess their likes for me to rate, subscribe, favorite, follow my twitter 3) signing on when I've noticed that traffic seems to be high. I hope things get better for you soon!

I'll start tomorrow morning, or tonight if I can... so far I've just been there for half an hour to be verified.
But I've been watching in the girls' room and I think it's a strange site... it is (mostly) tip based, but it's so different from similar sites. On MFC or Chaturbate, the models make their room fun, they're always doing something to keep people entertained... On Cam4 I see mostly girls lying and chatting very quietly, yes they tease but in a way that I would expect to see if you "just" have to wait for a pv, if it does make sense. Or maybe I am under a wrong impression, but really this is all I see there. Girls that look bored are not uncommon to see.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not criticizing the models of course. Just trying to understand how the site works :)

Sorry Ladies.. was not ignoring. I just got a notice someone posted which brought me here. Always, always feel free to email me directly:
[email protected] if you have a question and I haven't responded here.
TinyBrazilian - A heads up about skype. Some of you I'm sure are aware we have people going around in Skype pretending to be "Admin". They are able to do this because you've added them to your skype and they have actually paid for a show. They will then get you to believe they are on staff, need to send you something or have you click a link and try to get you to log in. Doing this gives up your log in information and now has placed your account and funds at risk. This is the number one reason why I tell people to NOT do skype shows. We offer a gold membership that allows you to do private shows safely in the website. There is also the private show software and in a few weeks you will have the ability to do group shows as well.
In addition to this, what Tsani stated is correct as well. The team that does the refunds has no idea if you did a show in skype or not so will issue the refund. If you can provide them with a scroll of the private show you did they can reverse it.
I always say this - look at the website as a condomn between you and the tipper - it's the best protection you have to getting scammed as stated above.
Tsani - if you still have it send it to me hon -
[email protected]
Samm - actually, she doesn't make out better. You must take the currency conversion into consideration. Under the US program we do not require you to be tipped.
Glasses - have you still not been approved hon?
Incantatious - have you tried coming to one of Nikki's coaching sessions?
