Given that this thread has turned more into arguing about things and ranting about theories, I'm going to go ahead and lock it and start a new stickied one in the models only section with the basic information.
I'd like this to be a helpful place for models, and all the great posts about how it actually works are lost amid the back-and-forth arguing and quite a bit of repeated questions and nonsense, and it's probably more confusing than informative at this point.
I'm not sure if it was in this thread or another, but we have already dissected the way the girls with the over 50k camscores get them. MyCamGirl and Zoomer have been nice enough to lend their stats knowledge to that conversation as well. To most of us, it's old news now. I'm sure people will still love to read about it in your book, Mila (and I know you were away from these forums for a long while), but here at ACF it's been put to rest.
And the model who originally helped us figure out the calculations has over a 20k camscore. I've heard from both lower scored models, as well as mid and high scored models that they did the math and that it works and makes sense. Since the average of all models fluctuates all throughout every day, it is understandable to come up a little off (anywhere from 20 to 200 or so). If it is off more than that, you may need to look at the way you've followed your stats (exact tokens and exact hours for the past 60 calendar days) and see if you're off by a day or something.
(I'm trying to nicely say "just because your math didn't come out correct doesn't mean all the rest of us are wrong" but there's not really a nice way to say that I guess? )
In closing on this epicly long thread, I'd like to say thanks to everyone who actually read through, and those who took the information and used it positively. It doesn't do me (nor any camgirl) any personal benefit to share their knowledge of how the camscore calculations work, but since it's always been such a mystery, it's nice to know it's actually pretty simple.
Regardless of any super-high camscore girls achieving their numbers in a shady way....
Regardless of how anyone feels about self or studio tipping...
Regardless of if anyone feels certain girls "deserve" the camscores they have...
Regardless of if we visually see girls getting tips... (though I'll advise that spying on other girls and taking notes about how shady their token income seems is not helpful to yourself or others. Unless your focus is on writing a book...)
Regardless of if your camscore was much higher 2+ years ago...
...Regardless of any of that, camscore really is pretty damned simple: Tokens per hour over a 60 calendar day average, based on the average of all active models on the site. If a model sees her score drop drastically all of a sudden, chances are she can look at the calendar and 61 days ago was a great token day, which has just fallen off of her average.
It's not a mystery anymore.
Once I have a new thread up and running, I'll link it here, but only verified models will be able to click through. I will keep the new thread trimmed up and neat so that it is helpful instead of ranty.
