They just updated the encoder and sent a memo saying the encoder will not allow splitcamming. I tried and they weren't kidding

oooooohhh, maybe it IS a good thing i haven't been streaming on there lately anyways, lol.
Yes, same here. I used to splitcam with two encoders running and it worked fine.
This totally sucks because now that they have changed it I will no longer be using the HD software. They do NOT have enough traffic for most hosts to just work their site.
They just are shooting themselves in the foot because higher earning models are not gonna put up with that and wlil just skip the HD or totally leave the site. Either improve traffic or change it back!
Just stupid.
Thought I'd ask in this thread since a lot of us who work on Naked sometimes get payment through the CMB card. I requested payment Monday night (well, it was actually Tuesday since it was a little after midnight) and here it is 4 Eastern time Wednesday and still no pay.
They have been late before but it's usually only weekends that I have this much delay. I really need to quit using their service but for the time being with me moving and everything I'm paying the $10 each time so that I can get paid faster. Anyone else have a pay delay this week? Thanks!
Yes Laurie, I requested payment last night and it still hasn't gotten to me. It used to get here, like 4 hours ago. They say it's next business day but sometimes I'll get it around midnight the next day, which is NOT next business day. Sometimes it's 2+ days.
You should try calling them, it's 1800-677-1483. I always talk to either Sandy or Violeta. Yes, I know their names because I have to call like every week to ask where my money is! According to Sandy they don't have a person to process payments full time so one of the managers ends up processing the requests late at night after they are done with all of their regular work. Thus, the late night payments on the next day. My guess is, if you cashed out late Monday the person might have already processed all of Monday's requests so yours would be lumped in with Tuesdays (like mine), which means we might gt paid around midnight tonight (Wednesday). But definitely call and make sure you're pending, CS can't always give you estimates as to when it will be processed but sometimes they can be helpful with that. Plus, think if more girls start calling and complaining about how their funds are arriving late they'll move their asses with hiring someone to do payment processing. You know, since they are a payment processor. What I novel idea :P
Thanks so much Courtney! It helps to know I'm not the only one waiting. Mine is pending so at least I know it's in process, but like you said they can't tell me when.
It's frustrating because it seems to me $10 is a good chunk of money to pay each and every time and get such slow service. Not that much to pay at a time but over several months it adds up to a LOT.
That is EXACTLY what I told them! I am paying them $40-80 every month for next business day access to my funds. That's not exactly chump change, but I agree to it because of the convenience of next day processing. The problem comes in when my bills are late because CMB is late, so now not only am I paying CMB fees for a service they are not delivering on, but I am also stuck paying late fees on my bills due to CMB not living up to their promises, even though I am paying them well to. I told this to Violeta when I called time, right before the new year when she told me about the expected delays, and demanded to know if CMB was going to pay my $50 late rent fee???? I pretty much told her that if my money was not there on the next day I expected CMB to either A) pay the $50 late rent fee I would accrue, or B) Reimburse me $9.95 x 6= the number of times my money arrived late in the last two months. Don't you know I got my money the next business day, even though they were supposedly closed for NYE? They've told me so many times that they'll try to put a rush on it but they don't, I think if you really need your money they only way you get it is to make demands like I had to, which is so stupid. *sigh* I hope we get paid soon.
Also, does anyone know how to unblock someone? I accidentally silenced the wrong user by mistake and though hecan sit in my free chat and he spied on one of my privates last night, he can't chat. I'm not seeing where to unsilence him?
Courtney , if the guy takes you to private, he is able to chat. I think that I read in this thread that the silence option is just for the day session ... but I am not sure.
Yes they can chat if they take you private. There is no way to unblock and unless they changed it the block lasts 30 days. It used to last only 24 hours.
Maybe if you really are wanting to unblock they can do it from their end, but I actually don't worry about blocking them because often they come to private when they discover they can't chat with me in free.
If it were up to me I'd disable the free chat anyway :)
Anyone receive their 1099's yet from Naked? I know they have til the 31st but just curious.
......
No, I didn't get any of my 1099s yet.
Thank you twistedprincess, I didn't know that.
no 1099s yet either.
Ummmm is it just me or is traffic really slow?
There seem to be a billion girls logged on to naked as well.... umm wtf?
Not just you. I have discovered a 3 hour window where I make a good amount of money. If I try to cam at any point outside of those 3 hours I usually make $0.
Damn this sucks! There are so many girls logged in its ridiculous
I know ... more than 100 girls and just 3 or 4 in private at a time, and this week I have seen at least 15 new models. I used to love naked.com but they have lost a significant amount of paid traffic, even the top girls spend lot of time in free chat before someone send tips or take them pvt :O.
I wonder why... Why are there so many girls?? Why no privates??
Do any of you girls try to bring in new guys to the site? I'm thinking about signing up for their affiliate program to get some more paying traffic my way but I've only done non-adult affiliate stuff so I wouldn't even know where to begin with that. It just sucks because I was on another site and made $6 my cut from a private show but when I did the math I would have made $15 if I would have done the exact same show on naked. I love the % too much to give up on them.
Also, has anyone ever won prize money from the top 100 weekend models? I have not, but I've only been on naked for 4 months. How much did you have to make in a week to place in the top 100? I'd like to make a serious go of placing this week but I'm not sure what I should set my goal at.
Hey Courtney!!! You usually need $550-$600 to get one of the bottom $25 prizes. Although one week I won with a shitty $439
Thank you KarmaComa, I just have to say I checked out your room tonight and you are so freaking sweet, make that money honey!
So another question, I asked support but they didn't give me an exact answer. What is more important when it comes to placement: average hourly or total amount earned in a pay period? I always seem to be in the top 35-45% during the times when I am online, but I'm making it my mission to get to the top 20% of girls online and place there consistently. I'm wondering if my $0 hours are hurting me by bringing my average down? I like to stay online even during my slow times because you never know when you'll get a long private but I'm wondering if this is hurting my placement. Kinda like MFC's cam score. Or maybe I am just overthinking things :) I just had a kick ass night tonight and now I'm super motivated to make naked.com my bitch :P
I'm not sure about placement. I seem to be in the same place no matter what - money, HD, non-HD software, nothing seems to change it.
I have a question - does anyone know what it does when you "silence/ban" a guy? I kn ow they can still take me private and often do, but does it kick them out of the room or just "silence" them so they can't talk?
seems to have changed from the way bans used to work there.
I silenced a guy yesterday and he was still able to stay in my room, he just couldn't type. I wish it kicked them because I hate that the rude ones can still enjoy watcing me but it seems they only get silenced, not booted.
I can answer some of this!
#1: The silence/ban is a bunch of malarkey. When you hit the button, the hombre is cast out of your room, (it usually takes him to the next model in the cue as if you were flipping through the pages) He can go back, but he can't type anything you can see. I love the thought of them typing into oblivion and not getting the satisfaction of a response from the model or anyone in the room. The only way you can permanently ban someone is to have your studio (or someone in tech) ban them but they MUST be in the room in order for it to happen. It sucks but I heard some buzz they are working on this because many models have asked for in that survey they did awhile back (the one that helped get us our wish lists on our profiles etc)
#2: There is no cam score so being online a lot / too little doesn't affect that. Things that impact your placement is favoriting (please note that favoriting cycles go every 90 days. This means a girl who has 11,000 favorites and disappears for 6 months can't come back and be at top of the favorite list) Sure, it sucks for the girl but for models who are busting their asses every day it bodes well. The Top Rated sort is based on a "score" of 1 to 5 that tech assesses every now and again. To get a 5 rating, you must be broadcasting in HD, have a high quality cam, be interacting with customers, obey the tipping parameters that Naked has set up (this isn't good for models who don't get into the tip goal thing), and you MUST do some nudity in free chat too. I also heard a rumor that if your profile picture has nudity in it, it will place you higher. This is hearsay but it can't hurt to test this theory out. Naked.com's wiki page has more info on this 1 to 5 score - if you have done everything outlined in it, I would get a hold of whoever your rep is so they can help you get up there :)
Hope this helps. Naked is really fucking terrible at communicating things, especially if you are in a studio.
^See, I thought it booted them, too, when I silence/banned that guy on Sunday he stayed in my room for a very long time afterwards. After a while of me ignoring him he did leave and come back (still silenced) but it didn't boot him immediately. Maybe it was just a glitch or something. I've also had like 4 c2c shows where the viewer's cam froze over the past couple of days but I have no idea if it's the site or the viewer's connection being wonky.
