    Default Hi! I'm new here :) + query re: AW FB Dismissal

    Hi everyone

    I couldn't find an 'introduce yourself' page on Camming Connection so hope I'm posting in the right place!

    I'll just say briefly, so as not to bore everyone to tears with my lifestory, that I've been camming for approx 3 months. I started out great but over July/Aug my takings have been dwindling down pretty swiftly. Summer sucks..

    Anyway...I'm not sure how many of you are working on AW. Having checked out Streamate and MFC when i first started, they are evidently the more popular choice & generate far more traffic. But I'm hoping a few of you at least are familiar with the workings of AW?

    I just had one question I hope you kind ladies can help me with that's been bugging me. yep I've used the search button to death; I have searched on here, google and AW, and found zilch.

    In a nutshell, last night I went to my Leave Feedback page, to rate private chats I'd done over the last few days, and noticed that 4 of those members are not on the list.

    Do I presume their names are not there because they clicked 'dismiss' (leave no feedback') next to my name?
    Why does that take both our names off the feedback list if only he clicked dismiss and I didn't ?
    It's kinda unfair, that he can remove himself, and avoid giving me FB, and & at the same time not allowing me to leave HIM feedback.

    Or is it because they've become inactive members that I can't see them?

    Please forgive my paranoia, haha, but, considering I can't remember all the guys I've privated, I'm wondering how many others dismissed me without my even realising it.

    Basically -- do I therefore presume that my shows for these guys were so incredibly awful/ incompetent/ laughable/ lame, that they couldn't just leave my FB blank, or leave a simple 'grt thx bb', as opposed to dismissing me?

    Hope this makes sense.

    I'm going through one of my super-downer weeks where I imagine everyone else is raking in the money, and that I suck.

    The FB is an issue because I'm really trying to build up my ratings and well, also it's bothering me 'cause it's kind of offensive.
    I've had some great reviews, but then I guess we can't please everyone.

    Thanks v much for anyone who can help/shed light
    P.S. ^ apologies for major rambling session -- didnt intend to write a flipping novel

    Hi and welcome! I am also new on this forum, so I haven't really introduced myself either, but I believe I saw a post somewhere for us to introduce ourselves, I just haven't done it yet. I wish I could answer your question on AW but I am not on there. I am on MFC, Streamate, Niteflirt, and Secretfriends. I am mainly doing Secretfriends right now, until my ex moves out, and then I will be able to rotate more with the other sites. I have been on MFC 3 years already. I just signed up for the remaining sites. My first cam site ever was Naked.com but I think that site went down the toilet.

    Anywho! Welcome aboard!

    Hiya SweetSam,

    No worries, thanks for the reply and the welcome

    Very envious of your being on 4 diff camsites by the way -- I know that being on at least 2/3 sites can really help in terms of success/earnings, etc. ... I can't seem to get my sh*t together enough to be organised with all that paperwork & stuff!!

    AW was very simple to join. But I need a kick up the backside asap cos really I can't afford to be relying on only 1 website. Especially in mid-late summer in Europe when every single person and his dog is on hols!
    Also impressed that you've been with MFC for 3 yrs - that place terrifies me haha.

    Thanks again and happy camming : )

    Oh nothing to be envious about, I just am not on MFC enough to keep my cam score up right now, and that's why I joined Streamates because a lot of the models talked highly of the site, figured I would give it a go. I signed up on Niteflirt to do phone sex, but I have to do a nice listing, and find my own customers, and haven't had a chance to do that yet. Secretfriends is hourly, so it's good for now, because at least I will know more or less what I will make each week which is pretty nice.

    There is probably an AW thread in here somewhere, if you do a search maybe you can find what you are looking for.

    Happy Camming

    I don't know what the rule is, but I'm pretty sure you can only leave feedback for members who have spent a certain amount of time in your room. Also, you would not be able to leave feedback for inactive members.

    Just found this on the 'help' section of AW:

    "The option to leave feedback for a DirectCam booking isn't there

    Feedback can only be left for DirectCam Sessions that were over four minutes in length.

    This change was made on Thursay 9 August 2007.

    Due to abuse of the feedback/ratings system, as of 23/07/08, it is now only possible to leave feedback for bookings that have taken place within the last month."



    Hope that helps!!

    Hi Becky,

    Thanks for digging that out... no idea how I managed to miss that after doing my AW search. Somehow I thought these pvts had lasted more than 4 mins, but perhaps that was me being overly optimistic, ha. Let's face it, sometimes pvt chats feel like they're lasting 10 freakin hours lol.

    I'm just feeling a bit oversensitive right now so I really didn't need this 'not good enough to even leave 2 word FB, let me get that woman's name off my list, pronto!' hanging over me .... I gotta chill out


    Thanks for your help guys

    just so you know you aren't alone - I only get about 1 in every 5-10 guys who have been in my private chat long enough to rate me who actually bother to leave feedback - even after I've left feedback for them! It will build up, but it does take time unfortunately. You could offer a free password to a private gallery or something like that for every positive feedback left

    Woah, Becky you just made me feel a million times better about this so thx for that! So glad I'm not the only one - my ratio is about the same as yours, about 1 in 5-10 guys bother with FB (except the ones who go slightly 'loopy' or obsessed in which case they leave enough FB for 10 people).

    Like yourself, I've found guys to be particularly err.. reluctant/lazy/unclear-as-to how-to-leave feedback, and was expecting not to do that well for a while anyway, but at the mo my FB situation is quite pitiful. lol. And yes I leave FB for them too, so I'm glad (cos you've obviously been on here a lot longer) that it's not exclusively a newbie thing.

    Could be worse, I'm past the 60+ threshold but when I see profiles up there with 100+, 200+ or even more, of raving feedbacks, it gets kind of demoralising even though I know it could just be a question of how long I've been camming on there.
    I'm just para that it's putting men off/contributing to less privates.
    Patience is evidently not one of my virtues.

    You are right it takes time to build ratings up esp. when not that many guys bother.

    Thx for the suggestion re: pvt gallery passes. I know that's used a lot as a way to get FB but I don't have a pvt gallery (for various reasons) and to be quite frank, I'm not sure anyone would give a monkey's if I offered them a free pass for 5 yrs....! As you can see my confidence is at an all-time high !! (sarcasm- sorry) . I'll try to be more positive
    Thanks again !

    ^I totally know what you mean, but one thing that SM has taught me is that guys LOVE free stuff and it DOESN'T matter what it is. If it's free, they want it. If it's not free, they'll find a way to get it for free. (K, I'll stop there so I don't rant.) So the gallery thing (or something like it) is a good idea. And why don't you want a gallery? I mean, you don't have to actually tell me, it's more of a rhetorical question. If you don't want to show your face in the photos, don't do it. No one said you had to please each guy with your FREE prize. Just a thought...

    I'm on SM and we CANNOT leave feedback for the guys, and they have to be in our room only less than one minute to leave feedback and ratings. So I just LOVE the guys who are in 47 seconds and give me a 1 star for not reeming my ass with a dildo and making him cum in 47 seconds. You guys are LUCKY that the site is thoughtful enough to place restrictions on ratings. Then again, ratings don't really matter much on SM and they seem to matter more on other sites, so I don't know.

    But Becky is right, if I have 100 customers in a day, maybe 12 of them will rate me and only 1 will leave a comment. Comments aren't huge on SM either, but it just means that maybe they're too busy, gf walked into the room and they had to shut off the computer, they don't really think it's important to do, or maybe they think you'll leave them bad feedback and they don't want you to be able to. Believe me, if there was a way I could "dismiss" some of my customers so they couldn't leave feedback, I would.

    Thanks JessI can see myself having some trub with that system on SM when/if I join it...! If they can rate you after half a minute that's well sucky.
    That's made me appreciate AW a whole lot more, let me tell you.

    Free gallery is something I am considering but I think i need to go down the profesh route, I can't seem to get the balance between revealing and yet tasteful as well. That is just one of my things. Might do a boudoir photography stint when I have money (which will be never, considering the current status of my debts)
    Also, the freeloaders / jerks who think AW is a dating site/singles bar, have done my head in sooo MUCH this summer that it almost pains me to give anyone anything right now! Lol. Thanks lots for your input

    Hardly anyone leaves FB on AW unfortunately. I have only 251 from the thousands of shows I've done lol. The best way to get them to leave FB is to actively remind/ ask them, and ask for it on your page too. It's not important to them so they forget/ don't even know they can leave you a nice comment after you made them cum. FB tends to come more from your regulars x

    Oh yeah, it's rare to get even a bye or thank u after that special moment haha.

    Thanks for the reassurance.
    I just was under the impression that guys checked how many people had tried you out & what they wrote about you, before they bothered. I'll just ignore that number now.
