I like prepaid shows, I like knowing how many minutes it'll be, I like being able to map out the show in my head. I like getting paid in chunks and being able to do what I want the rest of the time. I like indy camming, and not just for the higher cut. There's a whole different vibe to it that will be destroyed if they try to make it like the big box pay per min sites. I mean, with that and the on-site chat, why not add a cam on the site to see what we're up to and show them a preview right? We could call it... free chat! No thank you.
Interesting points there. I haven't ever used the on site chat, not sure how it works.
It does make me wonder though - why haven't chargebacks been an issue on CMD before? It does piss me off that SkyPrivate has them and wondering how cmd avoided them for so long. (but of course maybe they didn't and maybe that's the reason they have no processor now).
It sucks though, was really getting going on CMD and now they have this issue. :(

Re: The CamModel Directory Thread
Well, so far, for me, the guys contacting me via CMD are not even wanting to join other sites when I try to redirect them....so...Im losing a huge chunk of my income. Exactly what I needed when I had to take off most of this week due to a toothache....funny, cause last week was the best week I have ever had camming, and this week is the worst...back to back. Fuck me.

Re: The CamModel Directory Thread
I had an custie mention no payments option on my CMD ad so I just sent him my indiebill Skype shows. I honored my CMD rates and threw in an extra 5 mins (which is usually just chitchat) as an extra. They didn't mind it. Works as a plan b OK so far. Hope this gets fixed soon. Mark is a good guy.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
IT'S BEEN AN ENTIRE DAY AND IT'S STILL NOT BACK UP, WHAT AM I GONNA DO
But in all seriousness, I wish CMD wasn't down. I'm really grateful I have LiveCamModelShows, NiteFlirt, bitcoin, and so on as a backup, but damn this really sucks. Who knows how long it will take Mark to fix this. He's a great guy, and doesn't deserve this. :( :( :( The timing is pretty bad, too. It's right before the summer slowdown season begins.
Thanks for the suggestions about IndieBill. I'm going to try that out. I'm also going to sign up for TTM soon because I was mostly indie and this is going to kill my sales.

I see a new notice on the site - looks like he found a processor already and it will be 5 business days till they can use it.

YESSSSSSSSSSS <3 thank you girlie, I just saw this as well.

Re: The CamModel Directory Thread
Did y'all notice that there is a banner at the top of the site that says this :
" Please be aware that CMD is unable to accept any payments at this time. We are working with our payment processor to resolve the issue and will update this announcement once the issue has been resolved. We apologize for the problem and appreciate your patience."
That was before I ever logged into MY account, so that's what the guys will see!!! How are we suppose to ever redirect them if they see that first? THAT message will probably turn a lot of them away!

Re: The CamModel Directory Thread
For real... I literally just had a good regular (the kind where if he comes online, you know he'll be getting a show) tell me he'll wait til CMD payments are back. I did NOT expect that.

The site chat isn't up yet as far as I can see, I'm just being very Chicken Little about the whole thing. That's a very good question... I assume that CMD has a better screening system, as pretty much everything about CMD is more professional. For instance I once saw a top girl on Skyprivate openly advertising bestiality shows... yikes. That would never fly on CMD. CMD's customer base and number of models is also small enough that they can maintain the Crooked Clients list and warn models off of scammers. That would never work for Skyprivate, there's just way too many people on both sides. Skyprivate is definitely more "anything goes" so it'd make sense that they have more chargebacks. Then again you're right, CMD's account very well could have been suspended due to chargebacks so who knows. As it stands I'm very happy with CMD's chargeback policy so I hope they don't change anything.

Re: The CamModel Directory Thread
Yeah... my traffic was OK yesterday, but today it significantly decreased :(
I'm advertising everywhere else. If anything, this is an interesting experiment for converting our own traffic... ugh lol

Re: The CamModel Directory Thread
FUCK!! CMD going down took a big hit on my income and my dumb ass didnt have a back up plan like indie bill.With sites like streamate being dead for the summer slump i cant afford to take a $500 plus lost a week cuz cmd is down.A lot of customers are loyal to cmd and they refuse to use other sites like niteflirt or skyprivate.It sucks to watch guaranteed money leave .PLease MARK fix it fast!!!! I was so loyal to cmd i forgot to register for a back up plan.I also wont register for indie sites that doesn't cover chargeback. I messaged indiebill on twitter .Hopefully they dont take forever to approve me.Not a good way to start off summer.I'm gonna wait patiently for cmd but my bills won't wait sadly.LOL.Poor Mark ! Im worrying about my measly $500+ poor Mark is probably losing hundreds of thousands a week !

I'm amazed as a model, you would think it would be acceptable to ask another model to spend her valuable time entertaining your client & not getting paid.

What is this LiveCamModelShows? I looked on there and they had skype options but I'm already on the bottom of their page under more models while I'm on sm. Sm allows skype now?

LCMS is a Indy Camsite owned by Loveshooks. The streamate module is for affiliates. Here's her thread right here. https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/sh...ndent-Camgirls

Re: The CamModel Directory Thread
I offered to help him get a merchant account as I'm a merchant services agent & he never got back to me. I thought he had a solution, but then I see today there are delays.
I know the industry, you have to work with agents who are experienced & if you've just been rejected then your odds of getting one is harder.
I did e-mail him again, so let's hope he gets back to me.
I already lost one guy. :(

Re: The CamModel Directory Thread
This seems to be the latest message from CMD.
June 13 2017 - The process of getting approved by another payment processor is taking longer than we had hoped. At this point it is highly unlikely that we will be able to accept payments before the end of next week. The reason we are in this position is because an allegation was made to Visa that one of the models on CMD engaged in illegal activity during a show. We do not know if this allegation is true or not as we have not been provided with enough information to investigate the claim. We are doing everything we can to address the matter as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, it is a time consuming process. We appreciate your patience.
Don't want to speculate too much, but that sounds to be like a crooked 'customer' went to visa for a chargeback and made an allegation against a model as the reason.

Just curious, is a backup payment processor something that a cam site should be expected to have?

If the complaint is made directly to the card company (ie VISA or MC) then it makes no difference how many gateways you have - you get yoinked from all of them. Then you need to find another high-risk processor willing to re-certify you. The certification process can take weeks sometimes, even if fast-tracked. We're pulling for them...this is effecting all of us.

They ruin the industry for the rest of us who BELIEVE our TIME is what they are paying for, NOT sex acts!

Indeed. We'll just have to keep our fingers crossed and stay positive. Don't want to be disloyal to CMD or Mark, but wonder if we could update our profiles to tell customers we have a 'sister' payment processor to take payments. Then we could direct customers to Indiebill. That way we are not directing customers to other camsites, and customers will still know that CMD is our main camsite of choice.
Not sure how Mark would feel about that, but sounds reasonable to me. Better than turning customers away, or them going elsewhere.

I've done this on all my listing ads on CMD. I say the site isn't taking payments and until it does to contact me for alternative payment options. I use my indiebill and honor the CMD rates. Works so far.
