I applied to be verified after I joined...there are lots of benefits.

I know there are benefits and I am verified.
But I just think it's weird that you have the option to be verified or not.
Let's say I was a 16 year old girl, I could just sign up and go on cam on directcam and claim to be 18 and make money on an adult website.
That shouldn't be possible.
On that matter, now I understand why so many men ask me to prove I'm real, I can imagine a lot of fakers on the website this way.
Verification is a hotly debated thing, theres another forum (S-E forums) that hate verification with a passion and the thought of it could get you banned there, difference is they are mainly escorts, AW is so diverse in what it offers, people use it for what they want without seeing the needs of all people on site.
With regards to camming, you will most likely have to verify if your outside the UK (US being the latest "must verify" country), alot of UK members are being asked to verify now also, DP has to verify all its members by order of AW nowadays too.
Sooooo... still no help on my FTP thing? :(
I tried again this morning, just typed in the "host" ip and connected, (it auto-filled the username "anonymous" and didn't ask for a password), then I tried to upload a clip and it says "can't open data connect, failed to receive directory listing".
I don't know how to connect!! Why does AW make everything so complicated..
I dont know much about FTP but I got this from the help article:
"You will not be able to list the contents of the upload folder and your FTP client will probably complain about that, but you can upload to it."
They mention this is a normal thing but you should be able to continue uploading?
It wouldn't even connect first though lol
I *did* manage to figure it out; I set my client to only upload through active mode (it had been reverting to passive mode)... not that I know what that MEANS, but it's uploading now!! And yeah, it's complaining about not seeing the upload folder lol but at least my clips are moving along!
Ah, now I understand the verifying thing.
PJ: i sent you a pm if you still had DP room for my new AW account?
Hi, hope im allowed to bump this thread . . .
I'm offering phone chat on my profile, is my number hidden from the guy calling, or will he have my personal mobile to contact?
E.g when he calls they put him through to me, so he never knows my personal number, or does he just recieve my number to call when he books his slot?
Sorry, im still trying to get my head around it all :-[
Hi, it depends on which phone chat service you're offering. For directchat he doesn't get your number, he calls an AW number and the system routes the call to you...for booked chat with you calling him you can withhold your number...for booked chat where he calls you, he will have your number to call.
hi everyone, if people are complaining that when I move my stream becomes pixelated is that the cam, or my internet connection being too slow at the time? Thanks
Does anyone know - I am wanting to upload clips and all of my videos are watermarked with '(C) Hayden Blue' - no URL, is that ok to upload or will it get me banned?
i uploaded my videos and photos with "kinky midlands - bekie" the name of our group and my name. all seems well. i read the adultwork terms and conditions and it states your cant put a URL that is enternal to adultwork on your pics / vids.
You should be fine with that Hayden. Most of my vids are watermarked with a scrolling banner showing urls to all my camming and clip sites, includining AW of course, not one has ever been taken down. I did have a pic refused recentley, it was a still taken from one of my clips and only showed my SM link lol.
ARGGHHHH!!!! Signing up for AW is making me crazy. I finally got verification accepted, etc. and now I realize they have me set up as an escort! I went through help where in reg. you choose what you are available for, and it tells me I haven't been verified. Anyone else have this happen and know how to remedy it?
can someone please explain why my audio won't work in free chat but will work in private? (justcamit)
this adultwork profile is soooo confusing! can someone please explain how i get separate tabs on my profile for each of my 'niches'?
I've noticed across the top are the tabs they provide you with (gallery, private gallery, interview etc), but below that, other models have their own tabs. . .
probably right infront of me but i've been looking so hard i can't see it /:O
After leaving AW for a while and now coming back I can't figure out the best times anymore. :(
My chat used to be busy between 6 am and 10 am and from 8 till 1 pm but now my traffic stays a surprise which annoys me. aargh
major technical problems don't know what the problem is. Guys are having trouble viewing my cam. I couldn't cam at all today. This is a new laptop and i installed Windows updates, everything seems to be running fine. I've cammed before on AW and did okay with my cam. I have a Logitech C110 but it seems to work on ImLive. Does anyone know what the problem could be?
