You're making quite general statements for it being just your opinion. I don't understand what you mean by "time is the most precious commodity we have". Well yes, and customers have to give up time to make the money to pay whatever they want to buy, so it goes both ways.

Unless you're saying that a camgirl spends several weeks to do one custom, I don't understand what your last opinion means either. You make lots of money and the camgirls you buy from spend alot of time to make the customs, that's really good for you, but it has nothing to do with how things are in general. Once again, it's very different from case to case. In some cases the customer invests more time/money, in some cases the camgirl do, in some cases it's quite equal. I think this is fairly obvious.
 
I think this is a stupid assumption from your side. You have no idea how much work a customer must do to get the money to pay for a custom. And all camgirls do not invest a huge amount of time in their customs.

It's different from deal to deal, so I can't see how you can make a general statement like that.

It depends, but at the same time remember that most camgirls don't want crap videos spread around the internet. I mean most don't want them spread at all anyway, but would definitely not want people seeing such bad quality as a recording to be played over and over.

Perhaps the models you got videos from weren't great at producing quality videos, but even back when I didn't know the stuff I do now...well hell it actually took way longer back then! Like it'd take over an hour to just make a video showing off one body part. Not even joking.

Think of it this way. Have you ever been in a model's room when she had a bad quality cam, and a member tried to help her figure out how to make it better? The model will fumble for ages with software stuff, lighting, angles etc, and it'll take forever just to get things "kinda alright"

Fact is this burns out many models from even wanting to make custom content. Not tryin' to step on toes, or white knight camgirls here, just saying that unless you're a camera man for a living...it's hard to realize how difficult it is to produce even the most noob quality of videos.
 
All this complaining from some of the guys makes me ask, is it possible that you are too emotionally and/or financially invested? It might help to keep it in perspective -- it's just porn.

Besides, they're camgirls, not vending machines. Now if a vending machine took your money and didn't give you your candy bar, then I could see getting all butthurt. That shit's just wrong.

I don't disagree with you. In many cases, what you say is true and in many cases it is not.

As OP I don't know if you were referring to me or not, but if you did, it's a shame you see my posts as mere complaints. My intention is just to get a discussion going on and bring this problem to light. If you think it's ok to be scammed, then fine. I don't however.

I enjoy reading the discussions in this thread and I've learnt alot from it. If you think it's just an annoying complaint thread, then feel free to not read it.
 
@kylexy Can I ask what you thought I said that was untrue?
 
@Ann_Sulu I just meant what I said before, that in many cases it is like you say, that the model invest alot of time in their work (and hopefully they get the credit they deserve for it). In other cases, the model girl don't invest alot of time.

Sure maybe, but I feel like unless you ask her for the video, and she produces it in the same hour, it's kinda hard to tell how much effort she really put into it without being there.

Yes it probably is many times, but I don't think that has anything to do with my original statement that some cam girls do invest alot of time and some don't, so therefore you cannot say that the cam girl is always the one who invests the most time.

I guess I don't really get the point of it, especially all the bitterness.

There is no solution to something like this, whether its camgirls or anyone else. Some people are bad and are gonna scam. Some people are good and won't. Like Amber said, it's caveat emptor -- when you buy something off the interwebz, you have to use your common sense and some general safe-buying practices.

If you just want to vent because you feel like you got taken, well, ok. But every one of us have gotten taken by somebody at some point. It's hard to feel outrage just because you experienced something that everybody experiences.

Sucks, but that's life, and you gotta move on.
 
@gingerhobbit Well, like I said, if you don't see the point of this thread, then just don't participate in it :)

I'm not looking for a "solution". I want to discuss and hear other peoples experiences and opinions. Alot of what's been said in this thread I'm sure will help me when doing deals in the future and I'm sure it has helped others too.
 
I would just like to point out that the "guys who scam" thread, hasn't been active in half a decade.

Because beating a dead horse is fucking useless.:think:
I would just like to point out that we have at least five active threads where models and members can and do whine everyday about guys trying to scam them and a bunch of other stupid stuff members do. Let the guy have his thread. Why would Amber sticky it if not for people to talk about it?
 
Just keep in mind members you DO NOT SEE what is said in MO so dont be so quick to say something never happens here. Just cause you dont see it doesnt mean it's not happening. Just saying and that should be kept in mind.
yeah... we're pretty big on giving harsh truths to fellow models who put themselves in dumb situations in MO. Most models who come here wanting to share a scam story aren't posting about it in the public section.

Edit! Dammit! I posted before finishing the thread and this is totally redundant but ya know... still true hehe

I personally think it's a great thread, however I think it should be more towards finding solutions to scamgirls than commiserating. If it's commiserating I say take it to the "worst thing a camgirl can do thread." At least it won't just be posts, about the same broken record subject. Sure there are other threads, but the threads I'm at least thinking of are like the wtf/lol threads.Those are mostly lighthearted lulz about silly brainhurt. I honestly had to look up the thread she mentioned, and I doubt any like it lasted very long. Yes, the thread she mentioned isn't as light as the wtf/lol threads, however I think after reading it, the reason it was locked/abandoned is it's known members are going to try to scam models all the time. Models can actually get banned from sites for scamming/taking money off site, whereas members can use a different card/IP, and get right back into camsite membership. Not saying models can't sneak their way back in, but it's quite a bit of work, and chances are likely they'll be caught.

The way I think of it is if you go to a restaurant and order something, but you don't get it...what happens? You want to then talk to the manager with proof the employee did the thing wrong. Do you have proof of purchase from the restaurant? Is the item on your receipt? Is it in chat archives? Yes? Great, it's highly likely the person you dealt with will get a warning at least. Without proof, however, you can't really get very far. If you haven't known the camgirl for long enough to feel assured you're getting what you ask for...don't cut out the middle man. Get an archived chat/pm/mail on site saying the model would do it. That's what the site uses as a receipt, along with your tip history after all.

Yeah we are pretty quick to tell "our own" when they fall for the very basic scams something like "Welcome to the Internet!" and link them to threads/pages/wiki entries that state how common the scam is when they post about such things. Most subjects on this are in the MO section.

Hoping I'm not object of discussion in the MO section after my two topics (one 'initial' post in this thread and another thread on its own) :nailbiting::sorry:
 
KyleXY, I'd appreciate if you could message me back so I can work with you. I can't seem to access your profile anymore (it says no data.) I've reached out to you several times to correct our issue and am not hearing anything back on your end right now, which puts me in the position of looking extra shitty because I don't have a way to correct this without contact from you.

Seriously, my post with advice that he asked for is a bad troll attempt? Okay, I won't venture out of models only and express my opinions.

A facepalm doesn't mean anything bothered me. I facepalmed because your long winded posts make you sound like an absolute maniac with too much time on his hands.
Anyone in their right mind can see that your post was NOT a "bad troll attempt." Certain people on here are just being immature and petty with this new ratings feature. Haven't read through this whole thread yet, but I just noticed the name of the person who gave you that rating.....I rest my case.....

Don't let one miserable person keep you from posting in this section. :)
 
This post is to clarify (since I can't delete my other one) that KyleXY has not done anything wrong or mistreat me. I am the person who is cancelling something on him and I panicked when I hadn't heard back from him over what seemed to be (to me) a long period of time as I was not aware he is in Europe.
 
@NerdieBirdie Not sure if he's paying attention to this thread. Another thing to try is to "@" @kylexy to make it show in his alerts. ^.~

Ann_Sulu NAILED it. I know people are all about their instant gratification, but we are not trying to send out a shitty video just because we feel bad about keeping you waiting. We are trying to follow all of your custom video instructions and requests as best as we can (some guys even want the model to read from a script), and we want you to be happy with the finished product. That, in my opinion, is good customer service.

That time the McDonald's employee gave me a Sausage McMuffin (or Egg McMuffin?) without the sausage (or egg) inside (so all I got was two pieces of bread...lmao)...that happened because they were trying so hard to provide FAST customer service...that they ended up leaving out the most important part, which is the sausage. Lol. So as nice as it is for a model to get you your custom video quickly, you do want her to be thorough and actually do it right.

I remember the frustration of recording a video, and then - during playback - finding a problem with it, and having to record it all over again.

But what if bread mcmuffins are my favourite :haha:

Actually a video blooper real might be pretty funny. I'd probably buy that just for the lols

You spent your day yesterday going thru my old posts and giving them turds, you gigantic fucking loser. You win tho. I'm not going to hang out or even associate any longer with this forum. Way too embarrassing to be around people like you and a few others. Even anonymously on the internet I refuse to interact or be around your types any longer, that is how lame you are to me. Amber will continue to allow it and this place just isn't fun with your types around. So again, you win. You can post all the filth you want about me, make up a bunch of stories, don't care anymore. I'm sure you will get a bunch of positive ratings for all your insults, kinda just how the girls here act. Will miss some here but not worth having to be around all the stupidity or worth being treated like shit constantly by a bunch of lowlifes. So yeah, time for me to go. Thanks to the few here that tried to make this place decent/fun. Will miss yall. Peace!

Clearly I'm dealing with the situation at hand but just want to point out that this

is not something that should happen. I state over and over again that post ratings are for fun and not to be taken too seriously, but going back to incredibly old posts by people you don't like just to put negative ratings on them isn't cool and will result in warnings or suspensions if it becomes a thing.

What you just accused me of in your first sentence is what you actually did to me. Hell, I just now noticed that you rated my above post - about the McDonald's Sausage McMuffin - a "bad troll attempt." WTF, dude? I logged on here one day and had a notification that you had "facepalmed" my one post in the Olivia thread (and it was an odd type of post to be facepalming, so I knew it was just you being petty). When I saw that, I was curious and clicked the 'Show Ignored Content' button (remember that I had you on Ignore) so I could see if you had any posts addressed to me. Now what I did see was you being your usual nasty, miserable, prick self to Tilly (who I believe you've scared off), and a couple of other women on here. It disgusted me, and I rated them accordingly. It's funny how you think it's okay for you to abuse the ratings feature (which you have done...I saw it), but God forbid some of your posts get a crappy rating. I'll admit that I enjoyed watching you have your bitch ass handed to you...by the other ladies on here.

Good riddance, troll. Maybe now you can use the free time to work on your obvious anger issues.

Yo, I already said you won. I'm done here, ok? No need for any more name calling. You win. I won't be posting here. Had you been able to just shut the fuck up I wouldn't even have to come back. You will have to find a different person to call names and give out turds to. I wish you nothing but luck with that. Just please, relax with the name calling. Amber won't do shit about anything you ever do for some reason and nobody here will say anything to you about it. Just shut the fuck up with all the name calling ok and get back to flippin my burgers you absolute fucking nothing.

You need to chill out about FACEPALMS. It's not even a negative rating!
Also "Just shut the fuck up with all the name calling ok and get back to flippin my burgers you absolute fucking nothing." is 100% facepalm worthy.
