The acct will probably be closed for violating terms but it's worth a shot lol This is just a shame tho because I got so many dudes to sign up thru CL when it actually worked..
Oddly enough, even though it says your number can only be assigned to an email every 90 days. I verify all my bogus emails with the same cell phone number every time. It never gives me shit.
and craigslist is a little crowded these days with BP being censored. I tried using my Jupiter FB page to promote and FB flagged me with the whole "upload a gov. issued id" like where the fuck am I supposed to get a photo ID that says "Jupiter James" lmfao
but like I said, im still searching for the best promotional tools for this site, I had no intention on having to move and I just got wifi tonight.
Hopefully we will find something better than CL
I PRAY we find something better than CL lol.

I had a cute vanilla style pic and persona, but I think they weren't sexy enough. I wanted to take some new ones now that I have access to a new webcam. I think I'm going to focus on clips and niteflirt for now. I'm a little bummed/surprised this didn't work out because my tinder/okc is always poppin- so I figured this would be great!
THAT SUCKS :( OMG. Maybe an asshole reported you? asshats can be like that. I am so sorry that happened. did they freeze your money. I hope not. You worked hard for that money and it would suck if you didn't get it.
AND OOPS DID NOT KNOW JAMMA was a GUY. Thanks for the heads up. (blush)

I have an EIN because I have my husband as en employee for when we do couples camming. so that will already get me started
MAKE SURE in your pic to FB of your debit card to Black out your real name as well as your card number (Obv black out the number I know). But that way they can't give you shit about your name ;)

I didn't have anything in the account there. So that's the upside, I guess.

Checking that box will make your GIFs eligible to be sent out in a weekly mail where we ask guys to help you decide which is the better pic. They vote (and are taken to a page where they can keep voting on girl after girl) and are given an easy way to send a message to each person on the voting page. The vote tallies show up on your profile page on the bottom of each GIF.
Bottom line: yes, you should check that box to maximize your exposure.

Re: Phrendly.com, a new GFE option to consider
getting so fed up with CL, posting ads and they get flagged within like less than an hour GAAAAAAH

Re: Phrendly.com, a new GFE option to consider
I've noticed my ads dont get flagged if I only post 3 max at a time

Re: Phrendly.com, a new GFE option to consider
Jamma: How do I tell guys to find me when I give out my Affiliate code for them to "chat for free" with me? to search for me?

What is the DDoS attack?

Re: Phrendly.com, a new GFE option to consider
I've had steady custies all day and quite a few were not from the ads I placed.
But my acct that I tried making with my EIN got deleted. :(

Re: Phrendly.com, a new GFE option to consider
Is there another twitter for Phrendly? The one I found only has like 26 followers :(

I got my other account deleted. Maybe bc I have a static IP? i do some work that i have to have a static IP and can't use a VPN. So IDK :( I will find a way.
DDoS attack: Distributed Denial of Service. Attackers flooded certain payment processors with data requests and they could not process payments. It happend a few times today. Several Adult related sites were affected including NF. I think it depends on who the payment gateway is.

Yes, please just stick with one. Your life will be more sane, guys won't be suspicious that some accounts are dupes/fakes, and you won't risk complete account closure.

Re: Phrendly.com, a new GFE option to consider
I'm getting some "bites" from POF. Also made an OkCupid but haven't gotten anyone from there yet. Not sure how long my accounts will stay open cuz I'm sure I'm probably violating some terms by using them just to advertise for Phrendly. Still unable to post on CL due to the phone thing :/ Anyway, just thought I'd mention my POF successes in case anyone else wanted to try that method
-
Re: Phrendly.com, a new GFE option to consider
Usually, your account stays up from POF for a couple weeks before they discover you advertising something. OKCupid does not work for any advertising :)

Re: Phrendly.com, a new GFE option to consider

Jamma - can someone please give this lady an explanation of why her account was closed? of course privately and then if she chooses to share it that would be at her discretion - it is very frustrating when sites pull this - and yes it feels like sites are "pulling something" when you are denied an opportunity to work with no explanation - if she violated your rules so be it - tell her - it creates an environment of distrust which is a no win for anyone - I am actually surprised - you have been amazing at repping the company and the ladies are loving your site and want to make it a success for all involved - it comes across as no respect for the ladies when this type of stuff happens - ladies start shying away from the places that get a reputation for doing this - thanks for listening

Agreed. I have quite a few "phrends" who want to chat with me but I'm not willing to work for a company that has removed a girl from their site without explanation. I'll respond to my new "phrends" after I have some confirmation that I will not be a victim of their alleged lackluster model retaining skills.
-
Re: Phrendly.com, a new GFE option to consider
Yeah an explanation would help everybody else because if she did something against the rules we might be doing it too if we dont know :(
Because I know like 3 people that Phrendly is their only income (including myself) and that would suck if it happened to other people
I hope you get your account reinstated girl!

I get it and I am sympathetic. Here’s a perspective from the other side — bear with me as I set a context. It’s 2017 and criminals no longer wear masks and striped shirts and hoist their booty over their shoulders in cartoonish burlap sacks after robbing a house or a bank. Crime has migrated en masse to the web, and it is now a global, serious, and widespread phenomenon. Every e-commerce site is a target to thousands of criminals the world over for whom an attack is a low risk, low cost affair that can be executed anonymously, efficiently and ruthlessly from anywhere at any time.
Starting a business in this environment is not for the faint of heart. A paid marketplace for relationships, e.g. Phrendly or a dating site or a cam site, etc is a particular target for scammers, who try to exploit not just vulnerable systems, but vulnerable people, too.
We, like anyone who cares about the safety and security of their users, invested heavily in security infrastructure and systems that can help us to identify scammers and criminals. These systems consider dozens of factors in determining a “good” user from a bad one. For the most part, they work well. Of course, there may be the occasional “false positive”: someone who shares a profile similar to that of “bad” users, but is actually “good”. That may or may not be the case here. By necessity, when an account is closed on the basis of a weighting of suspicious factors, we can not disclose what these factors are. This would just provide information to scammers to better circumvent our systems.
I realize this answer might not be satisfying to everyone. I only hope you can see that the systems are in place to make Phrendly a safe place for you and your customers to conduct business. I appreciate the sentiment that it’s not comforting to work on a platform where your account might be closed for an arbitrary reason. I can assure you this is the *opposite* of what happens (and it happens in a tiny minority of profile reviews). Decisions are not at all arbitrary. Everyone is put through the same process and those of you with an accepted profile passed.

I appreciate the info. But you basically just called the nice girl a scammer. This should have been PM'd to her privately. Please use more discretion in the future.
Jamma--I appreciate how much info you give us. I appreciate how prompt you are with your info and help.
BUT--this is harsh and singles out a girl who was doing nothing wrong and was merely asking a simple question.
Just my thoughts. LOVE TO The GIRL who asked about her account being closed. LOVE-HUGS-Kisses to you.
