-.- chaturbate banned me in the middle of uploading photo sets without explanation. They said my photos violated terms of service and banned me. the only thing I can think of its either they are fucktards and dont think the photos are of me, or because there was a pepsi machine in the background of one of the photos. Either way, NO FRACKING REASON TO BAN ME. WTF. This is the 2nd time chaturbate has fucked me over without real explanation. I'm pissed off. Angry. And sad. I emailed support asking them wtf. But honestly I dunno if I would ever want to cam there again after them doing this for no reason that makes since without explanation. Thank god for daily pay, I'm only loosing $8 in my account

And even that $8 may still show up...fingers crossed. I'll know in about 5 hours.

About a month ago I noticed it was getting so slow for some of the models, so we've been scrambling overtime to put together deals with everyone that will talk to us for the BoleynModels program - and rebuilding our entire pay processing and website to match. We're up to about 12 sites now with our coming re-launch, including an hourly pay one, a Vegas physical studio that does simple room rental, and 1 (maybe 2) popular indy listing services.

And I can honestly say, my own camming sucks right now. I'm hopping around on 6 websites just to keep my camming income steady when I can find the time. The days of making $1000/week being lazy on the first page of SM seem to be long over.

We WILL make it through the summer :)

I am not making ANY money on any of my sites. It's miserable and I want to pull my hair out. I've been updating my video stores every day with no purchases, I've been getting on cam, giving it some time, then logging off to try again later. Not a fucking thing. It's times like this that I think, fuck it. I quit, but know that I can't just do that.

I've been getting my listings active again on CMD and a couple of other independent sites and I have been getting absolutely nothing, what is going on? I was really going to try staying away from free chat sites but I might log in to MFC today to see how it is over there now. If this don't start picking up I'm going to be really bummed. I haven't even been getting any hits on SL :(

Came back (moved and battling depression, also found out I am being sued under my ex-married name YAY!) and CAMMING SUCKKKKKSSSS. To the point where I have to re-evaluate eggs and possibly take up dancing.

Sorry I've been gone for such a long time, I missed you girls. But I'm logged in to phones, text sites and was on IML earlier and HOLY HELL. I'm sure we can all "think our way out" of the summer slowdown, but GD! I hope it picks up for us all soon!

with the reminder that, somewhere, somehow, some guys will ALWAYS have money to spend ...

- food, energy and gasoline prices are rising rapidly
- middle class after tax incomes continue to fall
- decent paying, decent benefit full time jobs continue to be lost, while low paying, part time / temporary jobs take their place
- costs for 'necessary' items like property taxes, health insurance premiums etc. are also rising

End result is that 'average' webcam customers aren't earning any additional money net of taxes, the costs of food, energy, gasoline and other necessities is rising, thus webcam customers have fewer dollars available for spending on 'non-essential' items like paid webcam !!!

I dont think its just summer. A lot of these idiots feel entitled to freebies for some reason. I think the site is marketing to the wrong crowd (dating) and they need to go back and pay for better marketing. They also need to kill all the nudity in free chat and on Streamate they need to ban $0 Gold shows. Performers are giving so much shit out for free and thats why these broke asses stick around.

I just have an insta-ban policy in place now. Lurk for more than 3-5 minutes without saying hello? I send a private message in chat of 'it's rude to stare, at least say hello' and kick if they don't respond in 60 seconds. Repeated offenses = ban. Ask for a freebie? Private message to provide tip or be kicked/banned for repeated offenses, plus my tip rate. I don't even take the time to be nice anymore because they aren't gonna pay. I block like crazy from chat. If they aren't rude, I'll leave messages available to beg forgiveness and come back, but the second strike is permanent on messages as well. Hehehe.

As a whole, the regulars I've culled don't lurk, do tip, and do shows or get the fuck out. I may be sweet out loud, but they've all watched me hit mega-bitch mode with a freeloader. One of them actually called my mockery/ban button his favorite part of me in free chat. Bless the good ones.

I just moved back up north. I miss my cats. I can't cam because I'm currently living with 4 other people while I try to find a place of my own. I did get a surprising and wonderful addition to my part time job here (which will eventually be full time) but until then I have to make ends meet.

Bitched a bunch of people out. Not feeling good about it. Putting up with the freeloaders and just letting them all pile up and spew about how much they want me, how sexy I am, please ass, please tits, please, you're so hot, i'm so hard, etc etc... seems to drive the actual customers into pvts.. for me, anyway. But today I just got fed, and told them they're all losers, and just gtfo before I ban. Not sure if I can do it anymore.

JaneBurgess
06-18-2014, 10:09 PM
Dont feel bad about it. They knew what the site was when they signed up. No one told them free nudity, free shows, date the performers, etc. They shouldn't be such assholes since they are supposed to be adults. If I nag Macy's they won't give me free items, they will kick me out.

No fucking shit. I told guys tonight, even if I am hot, horny, and willing, think about how it would feel to be told all day sit down, stand up, twirl and dance bb, show ass, show tits, blah blah, all day long? You'd be like fuck off random stranger. Why should I do that for you if you don't do anything for me? Fuck, even on free exhibitionist camsites the performers do what they wanna do generally speaking.

06-18-2014, 10:39 PM

Roomie, I love you dearly, but STOP using clueless as a cover for lazy. It's a friggin' dishwasher, not rocket science. If it's full, run it (the soap is under the sink, genius, you can look for it; put it in the 'SOAP HERE' slot; hit start and wait for noise). If it's clean, unload it. Do NOT sit here and tell me you can't put your sink full of dirty dishes in the dishwasher because it's full and you don't know where the soap is. You're making yourself look like a total moron, mmkay?

^^^ Wow! My room mate just told me the other day that he can't check the trash everyday. Um? Moron you have to walk into the kitchen to get to the bathroom you can see it every day. That is one of the only chores he has here. I told him that I have to see it every day and it pisses me off every fucking time. I really wish he would just go away sometimes.

It's like the more I advertise as strictly fetish, the more people come to me for the exact opposite of that. When I was a naughty girl next door type, it was like trying to sell water in an oasis. I'm convinced the way mainstream male sexuality works nowadays is to just be contrary. The more a woman doesn't want to do the thing, the hotter it is. And that's just disgusting.

soraja
06-19-2014, 07:55 PM
Ughhhh. Six dollars, three and a half hours. At one point, I ran out of tea and went into the kitchen with my cam to make some more, and I just gave up on being sexy and did all my dishes instead. Still on cam. In my bra and panties. I'm gonna get back on the whorse for a few more hours later, but it's so disheartening :/ At least I have a kitchen full of clean dishes to show for it.

JaneBurgess
06-19-2014, 08:51 PM
Fuck you Streamate. Your trashy ass dating customers are annoying and are NEVER going to spend the money you hope they will. Most are FREELOADERS and will stay that way. You did a great job in forcing most of your performers to split cam or leave.. Bravo

My splitter issues need to be taken care of quickly as only making 3.60 in 2 hours is bullshit. Fuck you SM, and fuck you Cams for not fixing my log in problems so I can't log in there to try it instead.

Edit: Fuck VerySoft as well. I can't use it for a month unless I buy a new license because of an issue it had when activating after I reinstalled windows that used up my last activation slot in their bullshit activation time window without it actually activating.

Even though I didnt cam much this week due to it being my shark week, I could tell it was hella slow. Phone sex has been slow outside of regs and I had been available a lot. SO. hmph.
Im glad at least I can get back to camming tomorrow thru the weekend. WE WILL SEE. Im TRYING to stay optimistic. WOMP.

I feel bad for any guy who says so much as 'hi bb' to me tomorrow, Im gonna dig my claws in SO deep & shake them down. lol.

I had a rough night last night...one of my regular Thursday guys showed up, and while he cheered me up to no end by making me laugh, his credit card was stolen and he's waiting for his new one, so we've had to re-book his Skype show for next week (he's going to try to get a prepaid card to make it sooner for us :)). Booked a Skype show for the weekend with a new guy, but getting that feeling that he might get off on the booking and not on the paying! Made 75 damn tokens in 2 hours. HOWEVER if that Skype guy shows, and if even one of the guys who asked about Skype (and had legit questions, not "free skype bb?") books, then last night will have been worth it. Crossing my fingers and staying positive, it's the only way to stay sane!

So I've been having an amazing week, which is why it's kind of shocking that I have made a total of $0 tonight. No one's even really talking to me! I almost had a bite from a previous customer but he had to cancel last minute... I got all excited when another custie popped up but on closer inspection it was just his birthday notification.

Yeahhhh this sucks. :(

06-20-2014, 12:46 AM
Made my daily goal! Took way longer than I thought it would have, but I'm proud of myself for staying on. Just take a break and hop back on. Take a break, pop back in. :D Money works its way into your pocket eventually.

i like to cam with lots of natural light - it makes me feel happy and I feel more energised and can tolerate the bullshit free chat guys much more and I look better on cam. BUT some new people just moved into the flat on the opposite side of the street and they seem to stand at their window all day staring out and into my cam space. Right now they are sitting on the windowsill looking out. My street isn't that interesting so I'm paranoid that they're looking at me. I've definitely made eye contact with both of them (I was topless at the time..) and its making me edgy.

Why can't everyone just do what I want them to do?! Is that so hard? Find something more interesting to do than stare at the street so I can cam in peace!

Paranoia is taking over...

I've been trying to think of ways I could rearrange my cam space so I wouldn't be able to see them, but the lighting would be terrible if I moved, and that is not what I want.

Yeah, it's funny how traffic will be moving smoothly on SM and then BAM! NOTHING. I'm on the first page and had decent traffic the first hour and a half I was on and then people just stopped coming in...they trickle in slowly and leave almost as soon as they appear. I'll sit for several minutes at a time without one name popping in. It's weird and I'd love to know why that happens.

Vixenviki- maybe one of those room screens would help. It's one piece in 3 sections like the oriental room divider. Maybe you could place that about a foot in front of the window and still get light in?

AliceFun
06-21-2014, 07:07 AM
I am sorry vixenviki, i have the same issue here with a neighbor from opposite building that is kinda close to mine, he's an old guy who sits on the damn window all nite (i work nites), i see him even at 4-5 am sitting there staring who knows where, i am paranoid he might be interested in watching thru my window cause i always have light on all nite. for this reason i have to cover the window view and in summer is a pain in the ass as is getting very hot in here, would be nice to have the air coming in openly from window but the sucker sits there all the time, i hate him! Yes, a device with a fabric or paper that lets the light come thru is a good idea, i needed to improvise something similar but with a thick colored paper layer here so i am not seen. Damn nosy idiots!

vixenviki
06-21-2014, 12:54 PM
ah I'm sorry that I'm not alone in this! Its horrible feeling like you are being watched (for free) by someone close by :(

I ended up moving my cam space to a different part of the room so these neighbours can't see me, the people who I'm kind of facing now all have their blinds closed which makes me feel better, but the lighting is off on my cam now since my natural light source is to the side :/ but never mind, can't win them all! I don't think guys mind too much, I've been really busy and no ones said anything so I think lighting is more of a thing we worry about and guys don't care too much about!

Mare, thats a really good idea. Not sure its worth it in the time I've got left in this flat, but I'll remember that for the future!

MIND YOU she NEVER signed a receipt or left a tip cuz there was NO receipt for her.. so i wont be going there for awhile!~.. i offered to set up a sting operation haha cuz i love their burgers but oh well:(
