Re: Outing yourself on SW??
I've posted my SM link in chat for stream checks plenty of times and I do have my photo here in my avatar. Why? Because I need stream checks at times. No regrets as I don't care who on here knows who my cam persona is as that's all it is; a cam persona. I make my money and I log off. That's about it.
Re: Outing yourself on SW??
I agree with KK.
Don't mind people knowing who I am. In fact, it's nice when someone I regularly speak to on here says hi :)
Also verifies that I'm not a troll...haha.
Re: Outing yourself on SW??
I'll go. I've only revealed my cam identity via PM, mainly because I'm not sure about revealing any more (that's why I made the thread, lol). I don't regret it so far. It looks fun to post in the picture threads and stuff like that, though.
Re: Outing yourself on SW??
Not a camgirl but I am pretty private about my identity on SW. There is a good point, someone did recognize me based on my posts and it turns out it's a fellow dancer who I like to keep in touch. Another one is a dancer who is cool, haven't met her yet, but like to keep in touch with. I did also make another friend from this website, I met a well known user and never thought that would happen lol and she's really cool.
Sometimes I'll see other dancers from the same area make posts and I get curious who they are and if I've worked with them before. But aside from this I like to keep my identity private for the most part since I'll probably regret revealing too much info. Especially now, I relocated near a smaller city and if I make detailed posts about my club experiences it would be a dead ringer who I am to other lurkers/posters in the area, and my new club has a lot of drama and I don't talk to those girls.
I generally take what I read on this website with a grain of salt and I know there are girls who I have worked with, who read this site, and would rather they not find out who I am. I did have a couple of negative experiences meeting a couple of girls from this website, who will say one thing here and it will be a different story in the club. There are a ton of lurkers and you never know if they have mental issues, has a drug addiction or is an extras girl reading this site and would rather not be involved in that sort of thing and don't want them to know my identity.
Re: Outing yourself on SW??
I'm not aware of anything negative from using my cam name here :)
Re: Outing yourself on SW??
I don't mind. I've posted my twitter and cam links several times. Usually for stream checks or outfit checks, or whatever. My picture is up and I've also posted in threads about finding other cam girls in your location. Not a secret, lol.
Plus my screen name here *used* to be my old streamate name!
Re: Outing yourself on SW??
I'm completely out. No shame. No regrets!
I just make sure if I have something to say that might affect me somehow I post in verified. Cuz who knows who reads SW.
Re: Outing yourself on SW??
Im with KK too, I throw open skype video calls now and then with girls like jessa and such now and then too to get an opinion when Im trying out a different look /outfit style sometimes share " photo sets" going for sale with others here for their opinion on the quality and such before I put them up and so on. Im not worried in the slightest about it, largely most of us are all in this together and supportive.
Re: Outing yourself on SW??
I am out, too. My username is my cam name everywhere. :)
Re: Outing yourself on SW??
I'm probably a cross between #4 and #6. The extra layer of privacy makes me more comfortable, but if someone knows my cam name, I guess it's not that big of a deal. If I decide to discuss razor burn or some other problem with my lady bits, it's nice to know that some guy reading this won't go into my cam room and say "How's that yeast infection coming along?" :)
Re: Outing yourself on SW??
I'm #5, with maybe a little of #4. It wouldn't be the end of the world if my cam name was somehow linked to my SW name but I'd rather it not be. Keeping up my (bubbly, positive, always horny) cam persona is too exhausting when I'm not getting paid to do so.
Re: Outing yourself on SW??
I keep my SW identity seperate from my camgirl identity. Anyone can see what I post here, and I want to be honest about everything, as well as laugh at my job and custies. Plus I lie about my location on cam. Girls on here for the most part seem nice, but I don't trust anyone I don't know. So I keep it seperate.
Re: Outing yourself on SW??
I'm the same as Procrastubator. #5 with a little of #4. I was a little leery when I first joined but now it doesn't bother me for anyone to know who I am as a cam performer.
Re: Outing yourself on SW??
I am #4 and #7. I am was outed to the whole town as the girl with a penis so how much worse can it be?

Re: Outing yourself on SW??
I'm #2-4. It's not difficult to figure out my cam identity, and I don't mind that. :)
Re: Outing yourself on SW??
it's my cam persona, I don't care who knows it.
it's not my real self anyway so what am I hiding from.
and I've noticed the ones who are complaining how it's slow on some site are the ones who hide their personas. they don't use the affiliate links and they don't use their cammodel links.

I haven't really noticed this, but have you ever considered that maybe it's the other way around? If I was "out" I would never complain about it being slow, at least not outside of Verified. IMO it's bad mojo to do that where customers can see.
Re: Outing yourself on SW??
My name on here is the same one I use to cam with. I can be snarky and sarcastic on cam sometimes, so I'm ok with complaining on here occasionally or having a joke about some troll that came into my cam room. My cam persona is pretty close to who I am in real life, so I don't mind if people find what I've posted on here. I consider anywhere I can stick my Twitter or Cammodels link free advertising. Haha
Re: Outing yourself on SW??
mine isnt hard to find out, but I've never posted a link/mentioned my cam name.
Re: Outing yourself on SW??
#5. And #6 (to non-verified camgirls). I don't care if other camgirls know but I definitely prefer to be anonymous on here to customers.
Re: Outing yourself on SW??
I am #4 and #5. A lot of girls know who I am or could figure it out if they really wanted to. I used to be open but no longer am as some questions are personal and I would not want my customers to know. I also give some answers that I'm sure some customers would not be happy to read. I have had some custies stalk me and make reference to old posts when I went by my cam name so I don't anymore. I feel a lot better knowing I'm somewhat anonymous.
Re: Outing yourself on SW??
I've never seen any indication that my Adultwork customers read posts here...
Re: Outing yourself on SW??
2, 3, and 4
Well, a few years ago a fellow model from here (who I couldn't stand at the time) came into my Webcams.com free chat to troll me and badmouth me, and she put her initials at the end of her post to make sure that I knew it was her. So yeah, at that time I guess you could say I wished I hadn't made myself so easy to find. I don't feel that way anymore though, and believe it or not...we eventually moved past the drama, got along, and even talked to each other on Yahoo! and Twitter.
Cam models and cam site members read this forum. I'm definitely aware of that. I've seen guys (on Twitter, on the AmberCutie Forum, and other forums) reference SW and even link to some of our threads, and yeah, I do roll my eyes when I see it because I'm thinking "Grrrrreat. We'll get even more lurkers now." Lol. Hell, one time an MFC member I ranted about (I refrained from using his screen name) wound up joining ACF and posting on there.
So yeah, always think before posting, and be cautious about posting members' screen names. Keep in mind that if a model happens to be chummy with that guy you're ranting about, she may even snitch on you. I've actually seen that happen before on that other forum. Also, don't think for a single moment that the stuff posted on here is only viewable by fellow cam girls.
Re: Outing yourself on SW??
7. I have told models on here. I wouldn't be opposed to telling verified members that are active/been on here awhile via pm. I was thinking of making another account with my camname, but then I realized that would make posting on SW an extension of work/I'd still be in "persona" and wary of customers while posting.
