I am curious why there is an option to only allow people on your friends list to PM you if gold members can do it anyways. 99% of the time they want Skype, which I don't do. It's annoying.
I still have not received my bonus for my time last week. I sent another email about it today. Hopefully this is resolved soon.

I just started today, and I totally found this to be true. I had one private and 10+ requests for skype shows. What's the deal, here? Is it against the site rules to take a private offsite? Does it make it easier for them to initiate a chargeback?

You can accept tokens for Skype shows, but if they tell Cam4 you took their money and didn't deliver, Cam4 has no proof you actually did the show. That's why I only do my privates on the site itself. Plus the Skype guys either want DP and for you to shave your head for 20 tokens ($2) or promise you 1000 tokens just to talk to them, which you know is complete BS.

I don't do skypes at all there, I tell them they have to use the private button, or tip a set amount and do a password show there for them, BUT if you do choose to do skype shows, I would take a screenshot of how long your video call lasted after the call with the guy on skype and save it in a folder somewhere, you know just incase the guy is a jackass and tries to say you didnt do a show that you did do.

I only did one skype show on here last year and the guy was an utter ugly asshole. The annoying fuck talked through the entire time and did that " now lets play" shit. I will never do skype on this site again. Guys are far too cheap and all want to steal time. I also don't want to worry about someone scamming me out of money. I noticed some of the top models have " I will not do skype with new members". I suppose guys request skype shows, chargeback then close their account. Later they sign up again and try to see what models they can continue to do this with.

Yeah, I get the sense that a lot of these guys are just REALLY cheap. That's fine, but I'm not in the habit of negotiating with anybody. It literally depresses me to spend several minutes negotiating the value of my time, so I basically just move on whenever a potential customer wants to haggle. Getting guys to tip seemed quite a bit easier than on MFC, so I might just focus on tip goals rather than getting privates.

Is there a way to change your model name on Cam4? I just know with the rate of private and also members on other sites I would do so much better if members could find me here. I mean if members are spending $8.00per min in private with me on other sites I can easily get $3.00 per min here with them and those privates would be so much longer. Also no 18 day waiting period for payout but instead 3-4 days.

I just saw Milamilan on cam4! This is great since when MFC members start coming to Cam4 I think they're going to enjoy privates being $3.00 min not $8.00 a min:). I have no issue losing $1 per per min in private when it means more members can actually afford privates!

I just received 40 tokens in my room and yet it doesn't show up in cam4bucks. Someone had on their profile about "fake tokens". Did I get hit by the fake token guy or is this just a glitch?

Was anyone else having technical issues today? My cam kept cutting out and my sound was echoing. Several members said it was happening on other rooms too. I also had some guys say they were getting kicked out of my room. It was weird. On Friday I had over 100 people in my room and today I never had more than 3 or 4.

^^ Yeah that stuff was happening to me all night yesterday and I noticed it in other models' rooms myself. I had always just assumed it was because I'm using a mic that's internal to my laptop, but that can't explain why so many others are experiencing these same things with their sound and feed cutting out.

Hey Ladies!
Whenever you have an issue like this, please do me a favor and contact
[email protected] They can grab a tech and while you're live on cam see if they can troubleshoot the issue.
Thanks!

I just wrote this whole long thing in response but i clicked the wrong button to send it!
Basically I've been so scarred from other cam sites' awful tech support telling me it's all my problem or my computer's all the time (when clearly it's not just me.) and being made to feel like I'm stupid or being annoying.
Honestly unless it was really screwing with my earnings I wouldn't bother with it - more stress and anxiety for me than I can handle! lol It didn't mess with my earnings at all last night but I can see how it might at some point.
Customers are always complaining to me that the feed on Cam4 is worse for them to receive than that of other sites, and I've seen what they are talking about sometimes from when I was working on other sites. I just figured it's something to do with the in-browser software or not having enough servers or something. Who knows!

Half the time I didn't even know it was going on. Guys would pop in and out of my room, and finally one would say your cam is black. So I would check it and restart. But I will definitely email tech support next time to have them check it out.

Anyone else having trouble logging into Cam4 today? It lets me log in, but when I try and go broadcast it tells me that something is wrong with my login. O.O
Then I'll go in and login again and it is fine, and then it tells me there is something wrong with my login again.

I'm not having any problems, but I originally logged in earlier this morning. Did you contact tech support?
Does anyone else use the 'allow chat from users with tokens' filter? I select it every time, and I am pretty sure it doesn't work. I always have guys in my room who claim not to have tokens, and while I am sure some of them are liars, I'm not convinced that all of them are. I don't see any way to tell if someone had tokens other than when they request a private show from me.
I just did a private and it's not showing up in my earnings. is there usually a delay? I don't remember there being one.

I find that there's a 20-30 min delay sometimes after I do a pvt to see the earnings

My earnings from privates an tips usually don't show up until after I log out of that current session.

ugh just got my first chargeback yesterday. It was from a guy who tipped me over a week ago. I didn't do a skype show or anything, the guy who did a chargeback tipped into a show that lasted over an hour or two with a bunch of other guys. I emailed to find out what it's about but yeah...definitely not pleased.
Okay some of the shows I did are showing and some aren't, and at least one says I earned zero tokens during the show it was a 5 or 6 minute show so tokens were earned, because they showed on my screen. Shows I did after that are showing though so no clue what is going on. Ugh I do not like chasing money.
Jinja
03-11-2014, 05:26 PM
Rina that sucks. I've had my privates and tips show up for me so far, however today I did have a guy who said he tipped me to flash my ass and it didn't show up on my end. I called him a liar, but he was so insistent that I logged off and then back in and it was showing up in my earnings, even though it did not show up on my leaderboard.
Yesterday I had issues with my cam turning black and my sound echoing, so maybe they are just experiencing some tech issues? Hopefully they get this figured out for you quickly. Chasing your money if no fun. :(
Yeah two of my guys said the initially got an error when they tried to go private. I thought they were lying at first but then they both took me private. So the site was glitching. Also the amount of tokes I show in the performer report on cam4 and the amount showing I earned today in my cam4bucks account are different. So I'll wait to hear from Kim, but this is worrying me.
Jinja
03-11-2014, 05:44 PM
Yeah I am worried that the time for our hourly promotion may not have record correctly for the last couple of days because of all the glitches. Kim has always been good at getting back to me quickly, so hopefully she will with you.
Kim got back to me, she told me to email support which I did. Long story short despite me telling them my username and name of the member they email me back telling me no tip is showing under a different username than the one I gave them. I had an account before i became a model, as I didn't realize so I made a new model account. I didn't cam on the old account, Support closed my ticket stating there was no tip, umm of course not that account hasn't been used in over 6 months, and I wrote my username in the email, which makes me feel like they did not read the email. Ugh.
I emailed Kim and support again. It's not a lot of money but on principle I feel the need to chase it down. Hopefully this will be sorted tomorrow. I'll report back.
ETA: The always awesome Kim emailed as I was typing this and she said she will get back to me tonight. So I think that is a good sign. :) *fingers crossed*

Gosh guys, you have me blushing; thank you for the kind words.
As for the site issues - yes, we had some server issues, took a hammer to them and replaced them so you should be ok now. If you have any lingering issues please let me know so that we can look into it.
As for payments - always watch the time when you request, remember, anything after 12 midnight will not go out until the next payout. For example:
If you request a payment at 12:01 am Monday morning it will not go out until Tuesday. Had you requested the payment 11:50 Sunday night it would go out with Monday's.

Holy crackers, forgot to update you all on something!
I'm so excited about this - AUTOMATIC TWEETS!
You can now set up your account at Cam4 to automatically tweet out when you're going to be on cam 15 minutes before your show is scheduled to start and it will do it again 5 minutes after the show begins!
I think this is so cool as you don't have to worry about remembering to tweet, we will help you do that.
Just log into your account and click the MY ACCOUNT tab in the upper right corner of your screen. Click on the Edit Social Networks and set up your account for Twitter Connect. You'll see two options to tick:
Automatically tweet when I'm LIVE on Cam4
Automatically tweet 15 minutes before my scheduled show.
The cool thing about this is that many of us will also retweet your tweets so you're getting the word out that you're on cam, live and ready.
Let me know if you enable the feature and how we'll you do!

In checking, I'm not seeing that you were on cam from March 3rd to March 9th. It was February 19th and then March 12th. March 12th would be on this coming weeks. If you have something else please let me know Incantatious.

I signed up for Cam4s base rate site, Im "Approved" with the Green "Status : Approved" at the top of the Cam4Pay site, and the lady said i was good to go, and someone would email me when im in the system. Does that mean if i start now the hours will be counted, or do i wait?

Is multi camming allowed, Im setting here with 2 people in my room. lol
Im having one or 2 people at a time in my room
BuffyFlame
03-19-2014, 03:44 PM
Ok, I have a few questions.
1. How is placement decided?
2. My room is unbearably abandoned, like 2 people at a time, Is it okay to Split-cam, Or am i expected to focus my attention to the 2 people.
3. Is selling of videos okay for tokens.
4. EVERYONE who comes into my room asks for skype. Are you suppose to sell skype time for tokens?
5. Name color for members are what. Yellow means _ Black means _\
6. Is there a way to know the amount of tokens, or if any have ever been purchased a member has.
JaneBurgess

It actually says on the site they don't recommend Skype shows because its hard to prove you actually did the show. I set my room to only allow people with tokens to talk. I think that's under settings. Pretty sure you can sell video's and pic sets.

1. Placement is based on how many viewers you have in your room (which can get frustrating. Try to make your cam look interesting so that people will see the preview image while browsing the site and want to come in. I tend to get more viewers when I have the cam on my cleavage lol)
2. Split-camming should be ok but I've heard from some girls that the guys can get mean when your attention is focused elsewhere.
3. You can sell videos and pictures for tokens, some girls have their profiles set up with prices and stuff. A few pages back I think someone provided a link to a profile for an example.
4. As Jane said above, it's not advised to sell skype time for tokens. It's allowed, but there is a high rate of chargebacks due to the fact that Cam4 can't verify that you actually did the show. Their private feature has improved so dudes have no excuse not to use it. If they ask for skype they probably just want to scam you IMO.
5. Yellow means they're a gold member. Gold members can send PM's, that's why the non gold members are always like "pm me bb". Both member types can tip tokens, but I think that gold member means that they can also get tipped. (everyone's a broadcaster on that site)
6. There's no way that I know of to see how many tokens a person has, other than if you're in private with them and it shows you how much they have left (I've never been taken private but that's what I've heard). As Jane said, you can filter chat to only people with tokens. Just go to the little gear wheel thing in the top right corner and it should be under "filters". I personally don't think it works though. Unless they've fixed it in the past month or so.
