Jess, u mean u split sm 720HD + bonga flash based (the regular one) or bonga nano encoder (HD)?

I know I ramble...the enocoder for SM with the HD 720 settings from last August? And on BC I use the "good" stream settings. Anything more than that I get a lag for BC

Hey!

Hope you're going great! So let's get started!


Does anyo9ne know how to turn sounds off on Bonga please?
Just want to add a bit more about that. Models do not have the huge button on our site “Turn off all sounds”. You can turn off the sound of private messages. Also you can use “Volume Mixer” to customize sounds (it is usually located in the lower right corner of your desktop, in the taskbar).


Or each member pay in his country currency and there is a conversion made? Confusing.
Members can buy tokens in EUR or USD (they also see the approximate amount in the currency of their country).


So i got this email from bonga in my email account & also see it on site in dashboard.

"Thank you for using the new option – BongaCams Lawyer Help.

Please note that due to a large number of requests in helping to remove a video from a third-party website, inquiry processing time has been increased.

Thank you for your understanding.

P.S You don't need to resend your inquiries. All requests will be processed"

They refer to the fact that i enabled that DMCA protection logo while i stream live there? Cause i never manually sent an inquiry?!
We have sent e-mails to all models that the consideration of legal applications increased. It's just a notice to all models, regardless, model sent a request or not.


Jess, u mean u split sm 720HD + bonga flash based (the regular one) or bonga nano encoder (HD)?
Nano encoder is less heavy that the regular one. So I think encoder suits more, if you want to have a better chance of not losing video quality.

Will come back to you soon! Have a pleasant time! :)

I have been trying to figure out what competition points are!.. Anyone know? thanks
At the end of every week, the top 100 models with the most points will receive a prize.
How points are distributed: once an every hour the top 30 performers are selected based on earned amount of tokens during the last hour. Amount of points gained will depend on the position in this hourly count – a higher position brings you more points for this contest.
NB! Points earned on Sunday are doubled! Source: link (https://en.bongacams.com/top-models?read_more=1)

http://blog.bongacams.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/b938d142c8-e1457516040667.jpg

So at 00:01 (UTC+2) every Monday all results for the previous week are frozen and starts the new week. Also here (https://ru.bongacams.com/top-members) you can check when the contest ends.
If this is not completely clear for you, please let me know! I will try to describe how points are calculated on an example. :)

Dear models!
Want to ask you a question. What kind of posts do you want to see here or in our official thread (https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/showthread.php?190359-BongaCams-com-is-looking-for-models-and-studios!/)?
I would highly appreciate your feedback! I think that is the great chance to clarify how I can be more helpful for you. So I am open to any kind of your needs and suggestions :yes:

Answering our questions is great, site updates and promotion notifications. BUT most of all what I want to see here is;

Reassurance that refunds and chargebacks WILL NEVER OCCUR - Like it says in your advertising!

03-09-2016, 06:47 AM
Hi Olga, I do think it is great that you are in this thread participating in our conversation. Most models will prefer this thread since it contains true feedback and experience from the model point of view and I do believe industry representatives should feel honoured they made it into this part of the forum since most do not and end up hidden away in Industry Insight where viewership is very small.

this is my biggest concern. and why i haven't signed up yet. has that model been paid back her tokens? do you guys understand it's up to us when we feel a customer is being rude? because i will ban anyone who rubs me the wrong way. pushing limits, talking down to me, trying to rush me. whatever.

Nope they haven't paid her back and don't seem to understand why they should.

KatM
03-09-2016, 01:24 PM
^^^ I second all what it was said above plus:

I dont feel comfy to talk about camming issues with people outside Camming Connection, since bonga is a cam site why go out of this area anyway?! Olga, stay here and talk to us the cam girls, u can advertise ur site wherever u want but pls keep up in close contact with us here :)

The kind of posts i personally wanna see are mainly about tech (how to use site resources to splitcam for example cause let's face it, many of us splitcam in order to make the money from as many sources as possible);

i also wish u to explain the cut time for each week (time zone with HOURS INCLUDED so people can figure out when the cut time is in their time zone) and make the FAQ for models accessible from the dash board, also the fees for group/ true private visible somewhere in the earnings section on site, i mean bring all the information from FAQ to where they belong to if u know what i mean so people dont get confused where to look for information.

Also tell models how u charge the guys (currency they buy tokens with) like it was explained in here when i asked so we know how to adjust our hustle to their money spending 'habits' & financial resources LOL.
These are the things i personally found confusing, was kinda difficult to find the info i needed in the place(s) i expected to find it.

Ty, that's my 2 cent xx

ETA: ahh by the way, do u have a free splitting software u can provide models with?
A software that provides the HD resolutions needed to splitcam with & is low resource consuming?
for 64 & 32 bit windows OP (MAC too eventually for other girls who have MAC's).
Maybe u develop one if u dont have it just now or even partner with verysoft (i know i want a lot here haha but is good to ask, just for the case), that would be really amazing to have, other sites have their own splitter(s) but they made to function on their sites mainly like visit-x who blocked my pc for some reason & i had to restore point to get my system back, that thing is buggy.

This is why I wont sign up. They dont seem to understand (or care) about model's personal boundaries. Customer is always right, right? No. And also I really dont want to have to deal with misogynist men being awful to me every minute I'm on there as a couple of models have pointed out. The kinds of guys that are on that website do not interest me at all. Maybe if they cared more about their model's personal feelings as to what they are comfortable with (you can say you are all you want, but the fact that model hasnt been paid says otherwise) and attracted higher quality clients, I would possibly sign up. More power to those of you who are working there though and I hope you make lots of $$! Ya'll have thicker skin than me lol

They just won't pay if you try and use them. (*laughs*)

There are good guys on there, among the extremely cheap ones :) personally I haven't encountered any overly rude guys although that could be because I don't pay too much attention like I said earlier. Honestly the ONLY reason id be cautious about bonga is the refund issue.. aside from that it is a decent site.

03-09-2016, 02:43 PM
^^^ Yes, that's what makes me take the chance to cam there, i say CHANCE & not risk, i want to think positive.
I lost a lot of my income on other cam sites due to their shady policies, let's hope bonga will take this incident in consideration when they going to judge if they should refund the tokens to a member next time. I hope that will never happen again.

The fact that they don't realize their hypocrisy is alarming. Also to add wanting us to move to their thread which is in the jobs section that gets maybe 7 views a day? When Camming Connection gets 200+ views. Seems very odd. Also they rarely answer our questions there.

Is that 27 dollars straight up mine or do I only get a % of that?

Mistress It's the same as mfc - 1 token is 0.05 cents (if you're at 50%), and that is your cut. So 100 tokens = $5 etc

Yep! Thats me! Interesting that they dont have a selection for girls with black hair. If olga is reading this, you all need to change that. I had to select brunette because it makes you make a selection and I definitely dont have blonde or red hair! I have never worked MFC so I wasnt sure. I dont have the 50% yet because I dont really want to commit to a schedule yet. I'm really bad at schedules lol

If they have a selection for the hair color they need to only put the hair colors there and not mix the terms with attributes that belong to ethnicity section in fact ;)

MistressX
03-10-2016, 11:40 AM
Well I was able to select white/caucasian too. But they need more categories and selection possibilities. I dont really fit too well into their categories. Although I found my first day of just setting up was pretty cool. I dont like how guys tip you one single solitary token and expect you to show your tits lol.. I just ignore them. They can have their 10 cents back. I have to do some more reading and figure out the whole system. But I think 30 bucks in an hour of just messing around with the camera and settings is pretty good.

Til i can cam live myself i hope the model makes more money cause i am getting something from it too so i am all happy :)

I'm having a hard time with this site. A couple hours and I made $2... I am a little newer to token sites but I can make at least $60 a night on CB... What is the hustle that's working on this site? I usually dance around and show off a little bit and try to talk to them though they don't talk too much to me, which makes it hard, though I can get 115 viewers in my room at once, but can only seem to get a couple people to tip me 1 token at a time. I feel discouraged because the traffic is there and I can see it and I don't know why I'm not converting on this site but I am on CB (though CB is difficult for me too as I'm mostly a SM/ImLive fetish based model, but I have soo much more fun with the token hustle so I really wanna make it work), so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I started off with 50 tokens a flash and realized that was never gonna happen... Changed it to 15 tk/flash and 100 to get me nude and still got nothin'. Dancing around a little and showing off on CB seems to work for me, but not on Bonga. I hate to just sit there and say nothing while smiling at the cam, but Ive noticed a lot of foreign custies on this site and maybe I'm the one having some lost in translation moments here.

Idk. Any advice is appreciated because I see the potential right in front of me, just haven't worked out the right hustle.

Well. I'm jumping in tonight, splitcamming with CB. When I go to the model room page this shows up as my referral link: http://bongamodels.com/?fuid=20489991. I hope that's mine, as I have no idea. I signed up under Hyori, so I hope that helped.
I don't think I'm going to have a problem with the rudeness and freeloaders, because there are plenty of them on CB. I rarely ban anyone, but I do silence them for 6 hours on CB. I consider it training them. In any business I’ve ever had or been in, I’ve always tried to make rules that do not have the words no, not, don’t, won’t, and can’t in them. If you try really hard you can make any rule that might have a negative in it into a positive that says the same thing.

Before I finally got my splitcam to work (again, thank you Hyori), I was on BC several times, trying to figure it out, and my room filled up with show pussy, show tits, and some more really rude crap, within a few minutes, so I’ll just ignore that.

AH SHIT, I hope this works….my first night on BC and splitcamming.

Olga, you need to address this. An american who has spent $700 in the last few weeks on your site says you changed the billing company this past week and his bank (chase) is not allowing him to spend money there anymore. If he is having this problem, others are too. Fix it!

He did not ask for anything for free or anything and I have reason to believe he is being genuine. I have a screenshot of it

I will also contribute to this convo (I happened to be watching when this custie was telling her about it, sorry I'm a perv, but it reminded me). I also had a custie tell me the website was "blocking his server" so that he couldn't load tokens or tip me... I wasn't quite as nice as Mistress, I took him for a cheapskate and assumed he was trying to fuck with me and just ignored him, but he was an American and he also was very polite and seemed genuine but he was the only one to say this to me and so I just wrote it off, and it sounds like this may be an issue that's going on with more than just her custie. My custie said he was pissed off cuz he really wanted to tip a lot of the models but the site wouldn't let him, so definitely something to look into! Esp if it could be an issue with Chase bank as lots of people in the US use that bank.

Hey there!

Many thanks to your feedback about what kind of posts do you want to see. I remember all of your comments and took note of them.


do u have a free splitting software u can provide models with?
A software that provides the HD resolutions needed to splitcam with & is low resource consuming?
Now we do not, but everything is possible :)


I still dont understand what 1 token is.
Models are always paid THE SAME amount (0.1 €) per Token.
For example, if a models has 50% in her/his profile, (s)he gets 0,05 EUR from 1 token. Later this amount is converted from euros to dollars.


Yep! Thats me! Interesting that they dont have a selection for girls with black hair. If olga is reading this, you all need to change that.
Yeah, I am always reading all posts on this thread and other threads/ forums too. Sometimes can't answer you asap, that is true. But I am trying :) And pay your attention, that I don't work at weekends. So you always can ask your questions in our 24/7 support.
But yes, of course we will check our categories again that to make it more suitable for you!


brunette from what i know means dark hair and darker/mediteranean skin, am i right?
Emm.. Nope. Brunette is a person with dark hair. Doesn't matter what skin color this person has.

We've checked this member. There was turned on 3D verification for billing. That is the reason why he can't buy tokens for the past week. So I asked to turn off that 3D verification. It means, that now he can buy tokens as he did it before. :)

The real percentages are 27.78%-50%, depending on what token package a member buys, outside of a model's referrals. Moving forward, I'd love to see truthful transparency in all marketing materials.

https://www.camgirlwiki.com/wiki/BongaCams
Miqote, that looks AWESOME! Thanks for your time and patience! We should take you in our team hehe :) You have a talent!
But I would like to correct some of the things there a little bit. Take a look below:

“1. General Info: Payment is made either in Euros or USD.”
For members – yes, EUR and USD. But for models payments are available only in USD. As I understand you wrote this FAQ mostly for models. So I would have corrected this point, in order not to mislead models.

“2. Types of shows available: A model is able to set it so only users with tokens may chat in the room as well as set who can send a private message.”
Emm… If I understood you correctly - this is not quite true. There is an option, which prohibits free members commucicate with you, but others – can.
All models may do that in the settings, that are under your broadcast:

http://blog.bongacams.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/f8a9e6dc30.jpg

“3. Placement on Homepage: Models obtain this button when they have new model status or have made $450 the previous week. This button can be used every 24 hours and lasts for several minutes.”
New models can use that button 1 time per 24 hours. And (s)he has status “New” for first 2 weeks.
If the model have made $450 for the previous week – (s)he has the possibility to use that button 5 times per 24 hours. Sounds better, right? :)

“4. Earnings and Payouts: It is very important to note that a model's "RevShare" score DOES NOT mean the model's percentage of earnings, as it would seemingly imply. It is currently believed by many models that this is just one of the ways that Bonga tries to be deliberately misleading to their models. "RevShare" is simply a way to determine how many cents a model will receive per token.”
Uff… It is a pity that you do not believe that!
If you managed to invite a member who is on the site for the first time or was not previously registered there - you have all the chances to earn a lot! Of course, he should start buy tokens for that. Also be sure, that he was using your referral link (not another one). If you think you don't get earnings after all of that points – please write me PM with his nickname or ask our Support team. We will check everything!

“5. Prices for Members: Members may purchase tokens through Credit Card (via SegPay or LPB), PayPal, Bank Transfer or Bitcoin.”
Not quite true. There is much more possibilities to purchase tokens for our members. For example, SMS for Europeans. So methods of payment are very dependent on the country, where from is the member.

All the rest is correct and looks really great! So thank you one more time for your thoughtful contribution! :)

Dears, have a nice weekend! See you on Monday! :heartbeat

I see you have now responded twice today Olga, and thank you for that.

Now could you please confirm that you will be honouring the "no refunds" and "no chargebacks" that you state in your advertising, so that models will not lose out UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES?
