why do I feel like im dealing with him now?
It's because you are! He's been blocked now by two models.
Sounds like a lot of guys I've had to deal with, honestly.
Welcome to the internets. Where men can anonymously be assholes and never experience the consequences.
Oh they experience it alright. He would've gotten a refund and a block the minute he acted up. I don't fucks with my 'calm' when it comes to hustling. Too many other fun regs to play with. What makes me giggle is these guys assume we're all desperate for their money and will put up with anything. Yeah, except there are other more sane guys waiting for shows to replace you, dipshit.
You know, I haven't dealt with him, but I've dealt with one annoying f**k on one of my other sites...wanted to set things up for skype, so I agreed and then he was CONSTANTLY skype-calling me...when I was trying to work on cam, when I was on breaks so I could grab a bite to eat, even when I was trying to sleep! I seriously couldn't even take a piss without him calling me! Then last week, someone in my family passed. I was going through a rough time and didn't even really log into my cam sites much...mainly to check my PM's here and there. I even told the guy and he would not let up...started sending me messages on skype and asking why I was ignoring him, demanding that I talk to him, calling me rude, etc...
BLOCK is the best thing ever
Sheesh what a nut! What sort of nonsense what he talking? I'm just curious lol was he like, demanding that you start camming with him immediately?
I had him but he found me on Skyprivate. Something went wrong on the site so I directed him to LCMS. He pays for an hour and we do a portion of the show. After that, this loser asks for a refund because "he cant afford it, he didnt know what he was thinking." After going back and forth with him, he changes his mind (couldn't get a refund anyway). I was so happy to finish that hour.
He kept writing and calling me on skype while I clearly told him im not available. Blocked his ass after like 10 missed skype calls.
I'm surprised you even wrote back after he acted up. I give three strikes, and re-name them on Skype.
If they act up, they get a tally. Say something rude? Tally. Being demanding? Tally. Ask for something against the site rules after I explained it's now allowed? Tally. Sometimes I tell them by saying something like "You're making me sad, please stop :(" It seems to help with the guys who aren't actively trying to be assholes, and made an honest mistake. They get three tallies every month. It refreshes on the first.
Just block this guy. Don't deal with his bullshit, you have better things to do.
PS-- Why are you leaving your Skype on? If you're not working, it might confuse the nice guys who want to contact you only to find out you are sleeping or something. I get doing that when you are away from your computer, and I know everyone does things differently, but still.
^^I leave my skype on because I add industry bbs to it as well and I like to be available for indy guys who add me randomly throughout the day. Every nice guy who's ever wanted to chat with me gets the "That's great, did you want a show today, sweetie?" "No, bummer, well, hit me up when you're ready to play." I train them all to fuck off unless they have money. I'm the same way in free chat, lol.
How do Skype shows work? How do you receive payments and where are you finding these dudes to add you??
I think I may have had him. I remember him being from NJ. He was about to pay for a show but something seemed off so I told him to find someone else. And then he blew my skype the fuck up.
Just realized it's been 3.5 weeks since my last CMD show. Yup. Logging in kind of seems like a waste to me. It really is a no traffic, purely payment processor site for me.
The only thing I get from there are my regulars that I have had. I haven't gotten anyone new at all. And I do promote, but with the payout not being as high as LCMS, I will promote LCMS more.
Damn, I was just catching up on this thread since I'm slowly working my way out of retirement and figuring out my new game plan. I was planning on listing on CMD and LCMS like I was before, but now it looks like I won't be listing on CMD anymore. That's really a shame that it's gone so downhill, I used to like the site.
I had casually peeked at the new site and it looked pretty cool to me. But reading about all the "junk traffic" and lack of paid shows and raised prices for featured placement... just, no thanks.
I also noticed there's now a studio sign up section. I think it's cool that KB's studio is on there for the daily pay aspect, that's awesome. But I dunno I just think that having it right there in the open just opens the doors to recruiters and people trying to make a quick buck off of unsuspecting cam girls. Sorta defeats the purpose of "indy" camming right?
I will say they're meticulous and picky about studios and I think we're the only one so far (and have been for a while - could be wrong). They pay a lot of attention to our payouts and make sure the models know how much we're paying them. Very odd as far as that goes, but it still mostly works.
As far as traffic goes, CMD has its spikes but overall earnings have been very steady up until this week. I think summer slowdown finally hit...starting to smell another camathon coming on.
Things have definitely evened out again for me. I had a slow week last week, but I just didn't put in any hours (this week either tbh). There was a massive drop in new traffic for me around the beginning of the year but it seems *almost* back to normal now. I have high rates for the site and never buy any ads but I can still count on making $200-$400 per week depending on how much time I put in.
There are definitely plenty of beggars, pushy jerks, and guys demanding previews but it's always been that way with indy shows for me. Screening new guys has really helped my sanity lately.
I got a show tonight, but it was from a reg I got off Twitter myself. I'll just keep logging in, maybe refresh my listing.....
I've been reading about how it's gone downhill and I think I remember someone saying that Mark is nowhere near as friendly as he used to be. Well now I got to witness this for myself. He was basically trying to tell me how to do my job LOL. no, no no no no no. How about you try camming for a while? I had this customer whose connection was bad and he kept disconnecting, I spent an hour dealing with this guy for a 10 minute show. when his 10 minutes were up I disconnected and he demanded I accept his call so I could see him finish. NEWSFLASH: I DON'T ACTUALLY WANNA SEE IT UNLESS YOU PAY ME. I told him that I wasn't going to turn my cam back on unless he paid for the extra minutes. He started giving me shit so I took screenshots and showed them to Mark to prove I DID do the show he paid for. He told me to be "understanding" and "flexible". LOL. Yes, Mark, of course. I've dealt with too many guys asking for free shit to be understanding and flexible. I hadn't even done shows with this guy up until then! He gave me shit because apparently the dude uses the site frequently and I lost "a good customer". Oh sorry Mark I did not see that in my crystal ball, my bad!
I'm LOVING lcms though and I will be leaving CMD completely.
Have not had a show since April as well. Been crickets for me. I don't care anyway, 98% of the guys who contacted me for a show we're timewasters anyways. I had a couple guys with disconnect issues before and I gave them some extra few mins, but that was it! Not spend an entire hour for a 10 min show. That is super irritating. I don't blame you for not wanting to spend another minute on the guy.
I dumped a guy on there because he was rude I went up $1 more a minute. He unfriended me and I blocked his ass. This guy also tried to rip me off by saying he paid (when he didn't). I contacted Mark about it and he said he booked a show with another model 30 mins prior to me but that was it. Loser. I wonder if it's the same guy that was a "regular" on there. Mark told me he was a regular and he spends there often. (SO?)... This guy was cheap though, only wanted 10 min shows and wanted as much as he could get for such little.
