    Duh New Camgirls and Common Courtesy

    I'm seriously really frustrated right now. Like a lot of you here, I come here to receive advice, answers to my questions, and support, but I try to give it too. Even within the past few months it seems like the amount of really informative posts are dwindling and the number of irrelevant/random/stupid posts are increasing. I thought the primary reason we were all here is to make money? This isn't geared towards a particular person but I've noticed that more and more threads with info are being read but nobody contributing to them and there are lurkers just taking taking taking and never giving back, or even thanking. I find it kind of disgusting actually. I've read here some newbies getting offended at some of the vets here who they feel come across as attacking or belittling them, etc. Now that I've been here over a year I can see both sides, so I'm begging you girls... Obviously I don't own this forum and I don't make the rules nor am I trying to demand anything. I'm just saying all of this as a member and observer. But, I think that if we do these things it may make this a better experience for ALL of us. So, Please:

    New Girls
    - Please read before you post. PLEASE use the search function and look through the first few pages both in this section, as well as the other work section if you are new to this and you are about to ask a question. MissEgo has taken the time to start a very informative thread for new girls and a lot of helpful and experienced camgirls here have contributed to it so please READ it! Today I saw THREE separate threads made for the exact same question. Really?? We can do that better than that!
    - Choose your questions wisely. A lot of questions here have extremely obvious answers and should never be asked if someone has done their homework, or even uses common sense. When the obvious questions are asked, it kind of throws things off course and causes a lot of threads with substance and actual information to be buried and lost in the sea of posts and it makes it harder for other new girls to find the information that they need, thus starting a vicious cycle of repeat questions.
    - Don't be needy. If you come here expecting for people to hold your hand and take time (and money, since time is money) to walk you through this step by step, then you will most likely get some rude comments directed towards you at some point. Use this place as a helpful resource and a nudge in the right direction, not a crutch. Google is your friend! If you can't find a few things on your own, then you probably won't be successful in this business. Being a camgirl (or a successful one at least) requires some independence and initiative. If momma ducks just carried baby ducks on their backs all day and never let the baby ducks ever waddle and fall on their own, then they would be enabling them to be crippled, never learn to walk, and never reach their full potential.
    - Be a Team PLayer. Don't be selfish and only think about how you can get help yourself - Always think about how YOU can make a positive contribution and help make this forum a better place. If you are asking for help, don't be afraid to share if (when you are doing your own research like a good little camgirl) you find something interesting or potentially helpful. Even if you aren't very knowleadgable yet, there is still something you may be able to contribute to the forums, even if its not in this particular section. But the number of girls who just come in here expecting answers and never even trying to contribute makes me feel sick. This is supposed to be a community!
    - Show Your Appreciation. This one really gets me. I have observed numerous times girls, especially new girls, ask a TON of questions they could have easily found the answer to, get very detailed and informative answers by experienced camgirls, and respond with not even so much as a simple "thank you". Really??! How hard is it two type two words, or even simpler, click the freaking "thanks" button? Several newbs/semi-newbs have like 50 threads asking guestions and yet they have yet to show their appreciation and haven't thanked a single person who has given them advice. NO ONE here owes you a FUCKING thing. They could keep all of their tips and advice to themselves... afterall, in some aspects we are each other's direct competition so it may even be to their advantage if you fall flat on your face and fail. Don't take the help for granted, they really don't have to take the time to answer your questions and help you make money, especially when it may actually be taking money OUT of their pockets. Maybe I'm just an anomaly but my parents raised me to have this thing called manners. When people help me or when I read a post that is informative I "thank" them.

    Experienced Girls/Vets
    - Don't be a bitch. I know this has been said recently but I feel it could use re-iterating. To rag on newgirls and treat them like they are an inferior subspecies of human is not only uncalled for, but it's hypocritcal. We were ALL new at some point, and this business can be intimidating. If you don't have anything nice or at least any legitimate constructive criticism, then maybe you should try keeping your mouth shut. It gets on my last nerve when a new girl asks a question that was perhaps stupid or naive and vets run to it to it say something mean without contributing anything of substance. It only starts flamewars which gets everyone off topic and breeds new off topic posts, burying the threads that are actually legit and helpful. Being here for a while doesn't given you the right to be a condescending ass-hole.
    - Don't be a know-it-all. Ok so you may have some experience under your belt, but guess what? You don't know everything so don't pretend to. Some of you all state your mere opinions as set-in-stone-fact . Don't automatically try to publicly discredit someone who is trying to contribute, just because their opinion differs from yours. Have a little respect! Show others your appreciation and thanks someone when they've helped you or taught you something new. Be open to new ideas and concepts and don;t just dismiss someone's ideas because it's different than what YOU've done in the past.


    ALL GIRLS
    - Let's use this section for what it is intended for! Getting support and advice on life is important and there is a time and place for it, but this section is for camming, can we please try to keep it concise and to the point? I come on here to learn and share about CAMMING, but lately it seems like every other thread turns into a soliloquy about someone's personal drama or their life story There are plenty of other sections on this forum to post more off-topic subjects.


    If you have any RELEVANT points that you would like to add and feel would help make everyone's experience here better, please feel free to share.

    I have to admit, I am REALLY bad at remembering to hit the thanks button, especially on longer posts. I have to scroll back up to the top to hit Thanks and often I forget. Also, I am pretty used to other forums where you are limited on how many Thanks and/or Reps you can give in one day. Is SW like that? I have been here awhile and still don't know.

    I don't think there is a limit, I hit the thanks button several times a day and I never have run into any problems haha I hope that didn't come across as my main point, I mean it shouldn't turn into a thanks competition, I just feel that more girls should show their appreciation when someone takes the time to help them out and I feel like it's the very least we can do when someone helps us I'm really frustrated more with the attitude behind it then the actual technicalities

    Of course not! I just wanted to say something. Your post was great and I definitely agree that we all need to be more respectful. We can be real bitches sometimes...okay, a lot of the time.

    I completely agree with everything you said. Actually I have done more research on camming than I have spent time camming. It helps if you research things yourself, you retain the information better. I am glad I found this forum, it is very informative. I was raised in the south so I was taught to say thank you, sir, and mam a lot. So I do believe if someone help you, they should be thanked.

    Aww Kitana, I think you are awesome! You have been sooo helpful and I really enjoy reading your posts. You give away a lot of free information that you didn't have to share and you have even opened up your blog to us - When I think about you and the contributions you have meade here even just in a short time, bitch certainly isn't the first word that comes to mind - I think you can be a good role model of someone who is always researching, learning, and takes the time to give back, it's great!

    Yeah, this is what a lot of us have been saying lately (what the OP said), but then chicks always respond with "Well why's it such a big deal? Are you losing sleep over this?"

    Not sure why more people don't just ADD ON to the already existing threads. Do you REALLY have to create a new thread when there's threads on the exact same thing just a few spots down? You don't even have to use the search function when the similar threads are right there in front of you...just a few spots below. I'd say that if there's no similar threads on the first few pages, then yeah you should probably go ahead and post it as a new thread. But when you're seeing five different "What am I doing wrong on MFC?" threads posted in the same day - and they're all at the top of the first page, that's a bit annoying.

    And yes, it's always nice when a person shows gratitude for you helping them out...whether it's clicking the 'Thanks' button or them actually saying "Thanks" in their post. I think MOST of the posters on here are good about saying thank you after others have helped them.

    Just a thought - maybe we could have a sticky with some frequently asked questions, like how much a token is worth on MFC and what percentage we get on SM, etc? Or add it to the "Starting Place for Cam Girls" sticky? I feel like there is a thread started on both those questions at least once a week. We could also add some info about how long it takes on average to get verified on various sites, since that's a frequent topic. (Maybe these things are already in that sticky and I just didn't see them, I've only skimmed it.)

    I was just thinking something along the same lines. What if we have BIG "MFC", "SM", "AW", "LJ" (and whatever else) threads? And then I can post their links in my sticky, or maybe we could get them stickied on their own.
    What do you guys think??

    I think that is an excellent idea, and let me know if you'd like some help with it! I've worked on SM, MFC, and AW so I can help with any of those.

    Well I thank you for that BUT some people think I am a bitch only because of how I come across sometimes. Yes - I give away ALOT of information ONLY it is in my nature to help me. I cannot help it - That is how I am. However - I am a very outspoken individual. I speak my mind. I tell it like it is. I call it abraisve honesty.

    I know people say "don't be a bitch" but I look at it as being honest and I will continue to be that way. I will continue to be a contributing member of the SW community.

    Thank you Angel. I heart you mama Feel free to add me and make sure you follow my blog sweety!! I am working on the pages in secret and planning a big launch soon. I had some PC issues and getting ready to go live with it. Also - I am renting a page out there for banners for escorts, cam girls, and anyone else that wants a spot there. xoxoxox!

    Again. I think people are still lazy - I think I may have to sit down and figure out how to type a thread out explaining how to effectively search things here.

    I understand the abbreviations and all but there are ways you can manipulate the engine. So, let me see what I can do at some point. Just gimme some time.

    I agree, I have been on this forum for a couple of weeks now and I have not started one new thread. I have found everything that I was looking for from the search function. Sometimes you might have to try different key word combinations but the info is there. I have also been on other forums prior to this one and never started a new thread on those forums either. So I know it can be done. Some people do like to be handed answers instead of researching for themselves. There is a wealth of knowledge here, you just have to take the time to look and read for yourselves.

    lol! To be honest I just clicked the search button on at the top and type what I'm looking for. Nothing fancy lol! I have found every single thing I have ever looked for, no matter what. So just click the search drop down button and type whatever you are looking for and press GO. It's just that simple.
    No algebraic quadratic equations need before you press GO, so don't be afraid to use it ladies LOL!

    Also, like I mentioned in another thread, you can always just type in the type of threads you are looking for + stripperweb into google and a lot of helpful threads pop up! This works for me every time even when I can't seem to find something using the search function on here
