    Default xPeeps = Groovy

    I prefer to not bump the other lovely titled thread

    Thank you toMissSeraphim and ROCKAPOTIMUS for their kind words.

    We are still in beta and working out some details. We are changing the rating system to be only a feature that token buying customers can participate in. This was supposed to be how it worked anyway but our developers goofed

    The star ratings are not a factor on how models are sorted on our site though.

    That's good to hear that the rating system is being fixed.

    A question that I know a lot of people have been wondering is if the guest and model accounts will ever be separated so that models don't get treated as guests when they enter another model's room. It would be nice if there was a model category and we can choose if we want to mute models in our rooms or not. I have model friends who I would love to have chat in my room but I hate having to unmute guests when they're acting up.

    Thanks for continually working to make things better for us.

    Props to you, xPeeps.
    Between the twitter drama and thread bashing I applause you for continuously handling all of these (at times petty) issues in a very courteous and professional way. The site is still new and in development and I think some girls need to be reminded of that and think twice before they go bashing what is pretty much the ONLY SITE around that actually directly responds to and deals with their models concerns.... *cough* and pays them 70%....

    Groovy.. lol interesting word, I would have used "awesome" but yes I agree with peaches. I think once there is more paying traffic it will be awesome! Now if only models would USE the blackout option for shows it would be even better. When models are doing public shows it doesn't make custies want to sign up & buy tokens since they get to watch it for free basically, so that means traffic will not be converting into paying traffic. We all see how much freeloading goes on with MFC I hope it doesn't turn out like this on xpeeps.

    This doesn't sound good either. So anyone who has bought tokens can rate every girl, regardless of whether he's ever spent money on said girl?

    Agree with Vlodina. I like the system SM is using you have to spend $$ (prvts) to that person, that day - to either rate or comment on said person.

    Agreed, however I think the AW version is even better, i.e the custy again can only rate and leave feedback after they have spent more than a certain amount of time/money with said girl, in other words they can't just hop into pvt for 1.00 then rate and the lady in question can publicly respond to neg feedback if necessary. I'm not a model on xpeeps yet, (think I set up a members account instead lol), still sitting on the fence, I don't like the whole playing games etc concept, if xpeeps were to introduce a paid chat only option, then I'd jump at it!
    Of course I love the 70% payout

    I'm not really sure I understand the blackout option, myself. There's no literature on it and the way I read it it seems like nobody can see you while that's on? Or guests who haven't tipped can only see you for the amount of time that you pick? LIke...you say, "blackout non tippers after 1 min" So that means that people who aren't tipping can only see another minute of show before it kicks them out? That's what it seems to say to me, but I'm not sure. It looks like it could also go the opposite way.

    Then what happens if they're not logged into the site at all? A guest clicks on your room and sees...?

    It's entirely possible that I read all this somewhere and forgot it so please forgive, but I have questions.

    The Code of Conduct says no fisting and all that, totally cool. But is there a distinction about what we're allowed to do in free/group chat? Like, on MFC you can't do penetration in free but you can dildo to oblivion in group. If there isn't an official distinction, is there one that the girls are doing themselves? Like, most girls do this in free but that only in group.

    Speaking of which, like on MFC you guys set the per minute rate for group chat, right? I'm still wandering my way through the site but I haven't come on anything that's said what the rate for group is.

    Also, I know we're not allowed to mention "other sites". I'm taking that to mean competing sites? I've seen some models mention their personal sites on cam and I had a guy who asked me for Skype. I said I didn't know if I could give it out...but on MFC (similarly arranged to Xpeeps) giving out Skype for tokens is totally fine.

    I loaded a video last night and it's still "pending" Does this mean that videos are hand approved or is it a bug?

    LOL, I keep thinking of more questions, I'm sorry! In the pictures I can sell. Can I have them watermarked from my own site? I have a TON of pictures I could sell, but they're all already watermarked and I'm lazy.

    In the "recorded video" section there's a part with, "share this video" I'm guessing that means I can reward or treat someone to a free video by giving them that link? That'll still work whether the video is free or paid?

    Potential bug. I can't look at my own chat room to see if things are streaming correctly. I tried this and it logged me out of my model back end since a user had entered my chat room with the same name.

    My own praise for Xpeeps! You guys have been very helpful and supportive and it's a really fun site to be on. Reminds me of a lower pressure, more fun MFC.

    Xpeeps the rating does not effect much does it? I just noticed there is a top ten girl with a low rating. Personally I feel like its there to make the guys feel good/ LOL
    XPEEPS how is placement and top ten calculated?

    When you use the blackout option let's say your regs completed a countdown towards a show. You go into your setting and blackout guests/ non-tippers once you click save you begin your show i always set it to 20 mins. When you blackout guests/non-tippers only those who have actually been contributing towards your show gets to watch the show, so no freeloading happens. This in general makes guests/ non-tippers buy tokens because they want to see the show. Once the show is done you just un-click the blackout option and guests/non-tippers can see you once again.

    For SM girls think about goldshows, say your doing your 200$ countdown towards your cumshow you hit goal and your tippers get taken away with you, well instead think you hit your goal now your going to go to town with freeloaders watching as well. Blackout takes your paying members with you like you would when you hit "start goldshow."

    In general it stops the freeloading and converts non-paying traffic into paying traffic, unlike MFC where about 98% of shows are given away for free and there is tons and tons of freeloading since they can and will watch for free. Blackout feature is a friend not enemy, i personally feel like if you aren't paying for a show you shouldn't be able to watch for free. That's why I like the blackout feature

    There's no official distinction, you can do pretty much whatever you want in free chat but to keep the site from turning into MFC we like to utilize the blackout feature once we reach the goal for a show.

    Yes it's pretty much like MFC on that end too. You're not allowed to mention other camming sites but you can promote your website, twitter, etc. and offer skype shows for tokens or promotions (for example I did a raffle drawing for a skype session the other day on xpeeps). It's pretty funny actually, if someone tries to type in a competing site to chat it changes it. If you type in "streamate" it changes it to "a documentary on bird sex". Also if someone types in "ugly" it changes it to "pretty" LMAO that could be good to know in case it's out of context.

    I think there's a bug with the video system. I have my sessions set to auto-record and there's a feature where you can crop out the good parts and sell them. I cropped one video on Tuesday and it still says it's "cropping" and I can't do anything else with the video until it's done. I know I really ought to contact model support but it's low on my list of priorities lol.

    The questions I didn't answer have either been answered in this thread already or I don't know the answers to. Hope this helps a bit!

    Xpeeps would totally rock out MFC a billion times by this blackout feature. I'm still amazed when I see cumshows on MFC that are 25 minutes long with 2000 guests and 600 basics and 400 premiums, of which 3 premiums tip 20 tokens throughout. Lol. TALK ABOUT BANDWITH EXPLOSION

    yay a better titled thread! You're welcome Xpeeps ^_^

    I'll try to answer some questions too..

    Black-out feature. Okay so blackout starts as soon as you save the setting. Meaning, it's the x amount of time you choose after you set it. Think of it as blacking out FOR 20 minutes, not after 20 minutes. Xpeeps recommends only using it for shows. Generally, I will black out guests once I'm naked. Then black out the non tippers for a show. Unless I meet a huge goal for the show then I will allow non-tippers in for part of it. It kind of gives them the tease of wanting to buy those tokens! Make sure both are selected for shows though! Only blocking non-tippers does not block guests. If you want to keep the black out feature going just go back into settings and save them again. & a general piece, no abusing it! Blacking out non-tippers so they can tip to see you just sitting there will ruin the incentive.

    There's no other rules besides the banned taboos on what you can do in free chat. Masturbate in there all day if you want lol Xpeeps is mainly free chat shows, probably due to the black out feature. Which works for me.

    Xpeeps has the standard private/group rates. You can't change them. Pretty sure it's 40 tokens/min for privates, and 10 per minute with a group.

    They ask you not to mention other cam sites..they block them out as Tsani said. If you say MFC it says "a cock" lol Twitter is actually a big part of the site. Most models follow each other and re-tweet for each other as well as xpeeps who re-tweet for models if you tag them in the update.

    Skype shows for tokens seems to be perfectly fine!

    Videos can be a bit buggy. One I couldn't crop at all so I just put it up saying so. I had guys asking me if I masturbated for 2 hours lmao. My newest one doesn't seem to have a search bar at all in it.
    So xpeeps videos need some work darlings!

    I'm not sure about watermarks on pictures..I'd assume they wouldn't mind too much seeing as people on xpeeps would be paying to see them. On the pictures note though, I would appreciate very much if previews of them were smaller. Not much incentive to buy them unless guys wants super detail. But usually just seeing the outline works for them lol

    "In the "recorded video" section there's a part with, "share this video" I'm guessing that means I can reward or treat someone to a free video by giving them that link? That'll still work whether the video is free or paid?" I've wondered this as well.. because I would love to have a way to raffle them directly on the site.

    Default Re: xPeeps = Groovy

    The blackout feature is confusing. I think the amount of time it blacks out people for means that's how long they have to sit there in your room staring at the blank screen before it lets them see. This may have been changed since I started but I tested this with a friend and set it to black out for 1 minute. She sat there staring at the blank screen and I could see her in my room list but she couldn't see me until a minute had passed. So when you have guests blacked out you may still see them in your room list but they can't see anything unless their little timer thingie says they've been in your room longer than you've had it blacked out. Like I said, I could be wrong here they might have changed this. I really would love some clarification from XPeeps about this and if that is the case, why?? It seems kinda silly to me if that's the way it is lol.

    Exactly cupcakes! The only problem is if girls don't use this blackout feature in general it will turn into MFC #2, and that would be disappointing.

    I'm confused as to what you're confused about Tsani (lol)
    you explained it how it works.
    I like that you can still see them but they can't see you. You can still see the traffic coming through. Also you can anticipate a tip that way, for whatever reasons. it just helps me keep tabs on things.

    I think most girls do use the black out feature. I know a few who don't but they've usually made a lot and don't bother or they have other models hanging out. I try to at least black out guests, to push for more signups. Hell, I think most girls signed up because they have it lol

    Models do need to be distinguished from guests lol I think xpeeps thought most models would see other models as guests but it's far from the truth. A lot of girls are very friendly there

    Confused

    Default Re: xPeeps = Groovy

    I just wish there was some way to be able to see if someone who is in your room list can see you or not. It confuses some models who see guests in their room but they have guests blacked out so they think it's not working.

    Also I want to know if what Saraphim said here "Okay so blackout starts as soon as you save the setting. Meaning, it's the x amount of time you choose after you set it. Think of it as blacking out FOR 20 minutes, not after 20 minutes." is also true. Does the blackout just go away after 20 minutes or is it on a person by person basis like I said with guestx being able to sit there for 20 minutes then see me. It could be a combo of both for all I know, like say I put the blackout into effect at 1:00 so it goes away at 1:20 but guestx came in at 1:19 so he doesn't have to wait the usual 20 minutes because the blackout goes away at 1:20.

    That's what I'm confused about cuz I'm not 100% sure exactly how it works and there's nothing on the site that explains it.

    The way to tell is if they tip. Or if you just have guests blocked out if they're a member they can see you.
    after the x amount of minutes if you don't reset it just completely lifts the blackout as if you never set it. Meaning now anyone coming into your room can see you. Anyone that waited those minutes can now see you.
    If you don't trust that its working, don't mute anyone. If they are blacked out they do not even see the chat room thus they can't type. If they can type to you, they're not blacked out.
    A good way to keep track of time you've had it blacked out is if you use auto-record there is a timer above the cam.

    I've had a question though...at one point I could hear models when blacked out just not see them. Is it still this way? I haven't had a chance to test it
