    Sorry it would not let me edit.
    As for being American, I got a lot of shit, so did other Americans I seen it! The site has not many Americans, or did not then. I had some members tell me they would not support me due to being American on a European site, fuck them.

    Also Shaddy Show. Anyone heard of him, his site. HE takes your images puts them on his site and you can't do a damn thing about it. Says he has LJ's permission, but yet comes into your room and asks you to sign up on his forum saying Shaddy, and as a guest! I demanded my images taken down and not to follow me while I logged onto LJ. I joined his site once and he said not to go by my performer name. LOL, but use my real first name. Wow, was I floored. He did have friends inside of LJ, some members said. Not know I would hope.
    German man, nice. But his forum was a bitch fest, performer claws at one another. No one needs that shit. So then his site became moderated heavily by guys and ladies from Lj.

    Back in the day all cam sites were like this. They all required you to do your hair and make-up. They all wanted you to dress nice, not eat on cam, have good lighting, a great camera, etc. I really don't see the problem with that. I understand it's not a site for everyone, but I also don't see the rules as a a negative. As for performers talking about other performers, that happens on every cam site there is. There is always going to be crazy performers who talk shit. Hell Streamate had to make a rule just for that.

    Stalking customers happen on all sites as well. I usually hear about it from MFC, but I'm sure there are issues with it on many sites. I've cammed for nine years and never had someone stalk me or say my real name in free chat. I'm a hard ass in free chat and the customers know it so they tend to not really bother me a lot.

I have emails I have saved that go back almost 2 years from support. They will make our region another region so the stalker could not find us, never happened, or a failed attempt. I mean this guy has threatened our lives! And, that is just the start of what he has done to us on LJ. Odd, he blocks on all other sites, but LJ was unable to block him, Hm.
    Yes other performers are on most othetr sites hating and rating 1 star. However LJ seemed to have the most childish caddy performers who would talk shit about you in their room asking members to go to your room and talk shit about you. And the members would do it! And not ban!
    There is indeed fantastic money to be made on Lj. I had no disability while working LJ as my primary site. I was number 1 in two categories and making great money!
    But given all the shit I went through I found it impossible to work with a clear head and worry. This does reflect on my earnings.

    If I want to dress down on cam instead of getting all dolled up, I should be able too. I should not be told what cam to use to work their site. I should not be told I can not take a sip of soda on cam while everyone else is drinking getting smashed or even at times flashing customers in free chat. My fucking dog barks and I had an email from support, really? Life happens even when we work. I can go on and on, and prove what I put out here, just ask me models on here who are regulars, I will show you what hell I have gone through.

    Funny though that it is. I was talking with a very popular performer in HF who said things are slowly improving. She has learned to ignore her full real name and address when it goes through her chat. Yes, that's a big improvement, lol. Her money is there, and she needs the job. I did too but you keep coming into my room telling people my full name and address that gets scary. I had to take action.

    Also,I did have a few admins who had stuck it out with me. It seems as though they got tired of the crap as did I. They could not ban out this stalker, they said it seems as though he was resetting his router.

    I do hope LJ gets better in the near future. I had many regulars on that site who never found me, they are good money. I would go back IF I could get that ass who finds it fun to stalk and harass performers off the site. He was the biggest problem. But time will tell.

    These are my experiences on LJ, anything is possible in this world. I went through hell.

    I worked with ICUcams and Girltime back in the day, we had dial up and did not have to dress at all, we could log on in a towel. I mean you can log into LJ wearing just a towel too, there are a few performers who work for a studio who always only show their heads and seem to be masturbating already to get privates. I also see performers in pretty much anything... still. I think this is a tough rule to enforce, because what is glam to some is not to others.

    The stalking crap, well I am far from a wall flower on cam. Actually am a good business woman. He just hit me for whatever reasons an online stalker would. But I said I was not the only one he stalked. Had him arrested! He bailed out. Lots of hard work, I was taking time from cam while on cam just to screen shot him. Really, The Police in Australia said this would be a long shot, never has there been an online arrest International. I don't think that he was the norm. You would know it if he kept after you. I would never wish that or him upon any performer. He thrived on a performer being a 'hard ass'. They love it when you fight back even with the laws. I'm telling you this was bad, and when I have a knock on my door I always can wonder who the fuck he sent to my home with his antics on LJ. That never leaves you jane. He would type "why pay here to see the whore here, go visit her at (insert my address)" so many times. I had to leave, had to.

    I may hope to go back IF things change there, and he is gone one day. He hangs in HF mostly it's a slow moving category when it comes to chat. I started in that Category, then left to Mature added Girl and Fetish. Girl moved too fast for him, but he still would scroll my personal info. through too often. I split cam and ran another comp. in all categories. Still, I made great money, but had fear. No way to live. Both PD's started getting together and did agree that he would be stopped at the border IF he came to the USA, he said he has family here to the courts I guess. Hope that is some progress. Life is not the same, we have a lot of sickos out here.
    This guy changed my life. He has made me much more aware, while getting a concealed gun permit as well. Security bars on most lower windows, and I have dogs, little and big. Still..... sorry about going on and on, but it is what it is. I have been camming for about 20 years! I am in my 50's now. Nothing much has changed with the dress as I see it, only on Scoreslive which I am signed with, they really require a color backdrop and sexy lingerie.
    Much luck to you, you will do well. They have paying members that's for sure.

    I was on privatecams andthey pretty much had these same rules and I loved it. It's always worked for me and I think it works for others as well. I'm sorry you had a bad experience on there.

    Sorry, but i feel i need to share.
    So sitting in an empty room as usual on this site, my phone rings, and i answer it since i,m not busy. Call doesn't last even a minute. I get a pop up immediately in my room to not ignore members and use phone while online. I look in my chat, not a single member in room, while feeling creeped out how closely, with a magnifier glass admin is watching me. Later i get an email i'm suspended from the awards, oh well no biggie, this is jasmin, but get this: for eating?! on cam. LOL, this site! I'm tired to fight it , i'm tired i can only laugh.

    That says a lot about the site. Why don't Americans like working on there? One reason is probably that they accept models from anywhere in the world. I can't sign up to some American sites (ImLive, Webcams, SakuraLive, 5Star etc) as they don't accept models from my country. No problem with LJ as they are very international.

    I'm a very hard worker, but I don't like to have moderators constantly checking up on me. I work hard, but like to work in a relaxed environment and not feel someone's constantly looking over my shoulder. If I want to leave the cam for a few minutes I don't want to be disconnected. On my other sites I leave a message that I'm taking a meal break - and I'm not disconnected. I also like the option of using audio or not and choose my own cam angles. I also don't like posting high resolution photos on a site because I don't want them copied and spread around the Internet.

    As you say, their high video standards probably make it difficult for models such as myself who struggle with poor internet connections... but the way I see it, if a customer sees a poor feed he doesn't have to pay for private, does he? He gets a free preview doesn't he? He can find a better room that suits him.

    I reckon LJ could make a killing if they eased up on the bs and made it more model friendly. It's no coincidence that most posts I read about LJ are negative.

    They use pop ups now? They used to pull your ass into private to bitch at you. Yea cell phones are a HUGE no, and is eating or drinking. But they are rules, and some seemed to not be bothered by admin with those rules.

    ^^Any of those 3 rules would bug the hell out of me. I worked on one site that always kicked me if I left the cam, even for a very short time - really pissed me off and I don't work there any more. At least they didn't fine or threaten me - that would be infuriating. What's wrong with drinking or having a snack in front of the cam. Customers want to see real people being real. I can't see any problem with it. LJ want robots standing at attention in front of the cam.

    The thing is, as long as they have 1000's of models willing to put up with all this bs, they'll continue doing it. Obviously the American girls know better and don't work there.

    I reckon sites need diversity. Not every customer wants to private an experienced porn-star on HD video stream. A lot of customers prefer the less experienced models, who don't dress up in designer clothes and have million dollar rooms to work in.

    It is BAD Manners to eat, be on the phone while on cam.

    It isn't hard to log off & go do what you got to do instead of leaving the cam room empty. Guys don't log onto cam sites to see empty rooms. This is a business, even if you are working from the comfort of your home. There is NO excuse for leaving your cam room empty while LIVE, NONE!

    I don't blame the site for having such rules, what is sad is that performers don't have enough sense or manners that there has to be rules & penalties for such stuff.

    Good lighting, cameras, & internet is a company trying to have great standards so that the men who spend money get a great service.

    I read this thread & complaints about stuff that shouldn't even be an issue at all. I can see why Jane would want to work for them since they seem to care about what is important in doing BUSINESS!

    When I cam, my phone is NOT a priority, my money is. Whoever calls or text me can wait until I log off.

    Porn star or not, call it less experienced or not is total BS! You should always want to be your best, your cam feed the best & your room look it's best. Doesn't cost much money to INVEST into yourself as you should be. You can decorate a room to look great for $75 at many discount stores if not thrift stores. Outfits can come from anywhere for cheap & look awesome. Men can careless if they are designer. I find cute stuff at Walmart, Amazon, hoochie mama stores all for under $20 all the time.

    ^^Obviously you're an LJ fan and sooner or later one had to come in here and set us all straight. Thanks!

    I always leave my room empty with a sign saying I'm taking a break and I don't need excuses to do this as I believe it helps my business. It certainly doesn't hurt. It should be personal choice and all the sites I work on don't mind. It allows my regulars to know I'm going to be back shortly... and if I want to take a sip of coffee or water and have a few crisps or other snacks while I'm working, there's no harm in that. Bad manners? - give us a break. I'm not going to turn off my cam to do that. Bad manners in front of men getting ready to jack-off. LOL!!! Yeah, I do usually chew off cam view, but I do eat.

    You seem to be getting a bit personal on the attack, so allow me to say that when I'm in front of the cam I always look my best, always wear a smile no matter how bad I feel and I have a very nice room. My internet connection is as good as I can get within the limitations of what's available in my country. I take my job very seriously and have daily goals which I absolutely must attain and always reach.

    Anyway, a lot of girls who don't work on LJ do just fine too... which proves people can make money on sites without bs rules that are mostly just a head-fuck anyway.

    It's great that we have quite a few options. Thank God for that.

    I have NEVER signed up or cammed on LJ.

    These are rules set in place to better the site & conversion rates.
    If you want a break or to be off camera for any reason, it is simple LOG OFF!

    I didn't pick you out personally, but take it anyway you like.

    This site has certain rules because time tested it is what convert into SALES.

    It is unprofessional to have a empty room when live. It is unprofessional to eat on cam.

    Most rules are NOT BS, but put in place for a reason. All these rules almost make me want to sign up to it, though. It is obvious that LJ is upping their game & want to the models to improve as they do. They are SPENDING big money on the back end to improve & move forward in technology & advertising.

    ^^ They are not new rules (eating, drinking, being on cam) - they were around when I first signed up with them in 2006... that's one of the reasons I never logged on. Mainly it was the fines that put me off - and now they've made it much worse with 5% pay deductions. It's one thing to fine someone, but taking a pay cut is going too far.

    From the way you are talking I thought you were working on LJ.

    There's a far better way to convert into SALES than lots of bs rules and fines to enforce them. It's keeping your models happy so they enjoy working. You don't get that by continually harassing your models and fining them. You only have to read LJ threads to find many unhappy campers.

    Hold your horses, i was not eating on cam, and the phone call was "hi, ok thanks bye" short, no long pleasure chit chat, while no one was engaging me in my chat room anyway, as i sat down and my ass wasn't in cam to keep them there

    The point of my thread was to show, they take away our earning percentages for bullshit ( PERSONAL opinion of admin on our feed and audio) reasons, to pay for administrators that watch me every second i'm online (is this even necessary? must cost them a lot of money!!!!!!), that can't even point me for the right reasons. And it was not the first time, believe me.

    Oh yes, they do have pop ups now, they get fancier by the day, while i make less and less. And i have regulars galore, beggar regulars that is

    I've been camming for 10 years, and i tend to think, i have a sense to what is acceptable and not on cam, so i don't need to be lectured.

    That fact is that i don't even care anymore, it has gotten to that point, and laugh it off when they point me. Example of something i was warned for: asking for tips in a blatant, in front of your eyes findom session, that the customer was asking for in writing.

    Romanian members and guests reporting you for various reasons because you didn't show them titty or ass and the list goes on.....

    Ban feature a joke.

    And, oh please , please sign up

    Rules are definitely no bullshit Sam, i agree with them, but how they are applied irks many of us, and i find it hard to believe you won't get pointed for something that will make you throw your hands in the air and leave . Make sure you don't "masturbate" your tits while on there through clothing, DON'T ever ask for tips, and Jane make sure you give a "favorable" angle when you are sick of freeloaders, because head being cut off the stream, is no bueno here. ( %5 reduction and also make sure you talk, otherwise % 5 off audio, leaves you at around %20 in free chat, and %15 in members chat.) Good luck.

It is obvious that LJ is upping their game & want to the models to improve as they do. They are SPENDING big money on the back end to improve & move forward in technology & advertising.

    LOL come on ladies, this isn't a competition.

    10 years on cam or 10 days on cam, it makes no difference when it comes to things like ignoring your cam or texting or leaving the cam to go do other things. Not many men want to see you stuffing your face or texting away ignoring them unless they have a particular fetish... I don't know any high earning models who eat on cam or text and ignore their customers. So, could that be related a bit?

    It's clear that some of you have very strong opinions against LJ. That's obviously totally fine, and it's great to know all opinions and experiences of a site. It's clear, y'all hate the site - along with a lot of other performers here - so leave the site? It's kinda easy... if you don't like the site, the rules, or their standards - leave if you haven't already.

    But, there are also some of us that LIKE the site along with the rules and standards. It's starting to feel like y'all just want to make sure that the majority opinion is that the site is just incredibly AWFUL and anyone who says anything positive about the site are the ones needing to be set straight. We get it - you hate LJ. But again, some of us like it so we should also be able to share our opinions.

    I whole heartily agree with Sam, and not just in regards to LJ. I see some performers who eat on cam, text on cam, sleep on cam, watch TV on cam, in other words IGNORE their rooms. Leave up "I'll be back signs" and all that stuff and I just wonder what they are thinking. Especially on sites like SM where time in free effects your placement you would think you would want to log off any time you are not in front of your cam hustling for shows, otherwise you're just hurting your placement to be in free chat while not even present. BUT, that's YOUR choice. I don't have to understand it or agree. I am just of a different opinion than you, and that's fine.

    With all that said, I'm making even more money on LJ now that I'm in the pregnancy category. There seems to be ton of preggo lovers on there, yay for me. I still like the site and I will continue to tell performers to try it out for themselves. If I had listened to everyone on here and never tried it, well I would be losing out on money. I know for a FACT there are other performers here who like LJ but don't speak about it because there is such a big "anti LJ" opinion around here. To each their own.

    We should be able to share our experiences here without it turning into some silly battle.
    xoxo ~ Sarah

    I think the site selectively enforces rules, as ALL sites. Even SM is horrible about selectively enforcing rules.

    I frequently have my cam pointing to only my tits when I need a "happy interested face" break and I've never had anyone say anything about it. No admins have ever showed up in my room, nothing. That one time I got 5% taken off and was able to quickly get it back with no hassle. I haven't had any issues with it since then.

    So again, another example of what happens to one person won't and doesn't necessarily happen to EVERYONE.

    I got my percentage taken, to be given back, to be taken again etc. I have two same exact feeds, one is good other is not, go figure. You're right about the luck thing.

    I wish more performers would sign up for this site, so we won't have as much competition on our other sites.

    While I agree with what is being said by Sam, this is a job... LJ takes the job part way too far against the performers, while turning a blind eye at paying customers and their shit. The ban feature is there to be used damnit! If you ban a rude customer, that is your choice, but these same customers run off to support and cry, while we performers get bitched at. I mean it.... they have some customers who will spam the shit out of you. I never abused the ban feature, the SOB had so many usernames he kept coming back into my room!!! LJ does not see that part. The evil $ rules all I guess.

    Also I never heard of a room that had not 1 person in it on LJ. They wait for you to come out of private, so don't know about the empty room thing.
    But, If I NEED to look down while a customer is typing something to me... they better stop the blame game that I have just taken a number or email from a guy... HE never fucking typed out his info. Really, looking down? I must be up to no good right? Wrong. Rules are rules, I see so many performers on all sites I ever peeked at taking a sip of water or soda, you can do that at any job actually, at a desk if need be for reasons. When you log out of LJ just to sip a water you lose your room, they all leave. So now we just bending over a little and sip out of the cam view with our lips. WE used to be able to go to members chat to pee!!! Then they added the peak feature, good for them, bad for us. What LJ needs is a Break feature for the performer! That would be great, improve the site for performers too!
    Eating, yea I never did that, BUT was told go to members chat if you must grab a snack.

    All this BS about LJ really lies with THE admin that is watching you. There are pretty good Admins and very bad Admins. I have had both. And when you get one who is breathing down your back all the time, you wonder wtf? But, I was number 1 and brought in good money to that site. It was a mind fuck to me.

    I have friends who are still there, and they just tell me they log on do the job and log off. They have become used to the nagging Admins. Sooner or later most performers get hit with a (or many) very rude email or warning, that makes you think about the site.

    I sit here and remember that night a year or so ago, I looked down and Admin took me private to warn me against taking personal Info. He never could back that up with anything... nothing.

    Chatting with an Admin the other night who spammed the shit out of the chat box was super rude, I have it saved. While moving onto the next Admin was cool, he said we can work all this out. Problem is I really think as I said, it depends on the Admin you get. There really seems to be good and bad.

    Good money to make on LJ, but if you want to be a stellar site, you better fix that reputation and take care of the performers too. I don't run a fast enough speed for that site, never have, they did not care. But it's all about my grainy pictures now, and the cam I use which is ONE of the SAME they suggest in their Wiki page. I am just confused about that site. Learned to actually dislike it very much.

    But, would I go back.... maybe yes. I am an idiot. $$$$

    ^^ There is a reason why the site is generally disliked. People aren't hating just for the sake of hating.

    Do you really know so many top models and watch them all right through their shifts to be able to say there's no top models who eat on cam? Obviously if a model is very busy, they're not going to be eating, are they? They're not eating because they are busy, because they don't have time to eat... is another way to look at it. When I'm busy I also don't have time for snacks... but through very quiet periods I won't log off to have a quick snack. You can snack, drink and even check your phone while on cam and still stay alert. You can stay in front of the cam, but hide your mouth - but that's not good enough for LJ, is it?

    I'm not here to hate on LJ. I'm here to learn about the experiences of different models who work the site as I'm signed up and thinking about it. Right now the negatives far outweigh the positives I've read here. Obviously anyone who puts their mind to it can make money, but at what cost? A couple of frustrations similar to what I've read here would be more than enough to send me away, so I don't have to waste my time starting. I don't like being treated like a child when working on a site.

    Just to be clear, I'm looking for other sites to split to and I was considering LJ as an option, therefore I signed up.

    I'm very curious about this admin that watches rooms... how do you know they are watching? What does it look like when they actually type to you? How do you know it is not a regular person using a name that looks like an admin name? I'm going to be on the look out for this... I don't see how they could watch over ALL models on the site at the same time.

    I only split cam so I am always asking for tips, gold, etc. in free chat. I even talk about joining my gold show when I ever do them, and you would think that would catch the eye/ear of an admin and they would say something to me about it? I don't even bother to mute my mic on there when I do it.

    It is really frustrating when sites are so inconsistent with enforcing their rules, so I understand that. Even on SM I have been warned for many things I see others getting away with. Makes you wonder what causes some models to be watched more closely on sites rather than others?

    I knew i was watched because a pop up appeared as soon as i picked up the phone He/She must have been there watching right then and there. I have some "infatuated" admin, or just my luck and then he writes me an email for warning for eating on cam lmao.

    I'm friends with many models who are on the top rows of SM.... I am frequently in the top rows myself. I do spend some time on my days off watching performers because I think it is important to know what is going on on your "main" site, to keep up with trends, to learn from those you admire, to get inspired and motivated. Do I watch them throughout their whole shift? Of course not. I have 3 kids, I certainly don't have time for THAT! lol But, I do speak to many models who are very successful and we exchange ideas, tips, advice and NONE of them spend time eating on cam. Drinking, sure. Eating, texting, etc. no.

    I do have to say with one exception there is one of my absolute favorite performers who runs her room kind of like just a view into her life, so she cooks and eats on cam frequently. However, how she does it is part of her style, part of her "performance", and people love it because they feel like they are in the room with her, hanging out with a friend and having a nice dinner. Which is a far cry from being in a slow room and snacking.

    Like I said, to each their own. I do still feel there are valuable things to be learned from those that are very successful, such as Sam.
