I went and looked. This is what an IP address that is not mine shows to new members. I think someone at your IP address has to be a member to see anything else.
Yeah I am not as sure as I was about the 550, but I am pretty sure I've seen new members with 900/90 on 0 days, too.JoleneBrody said:I have seen brand new members start with 900. Not sure what makes the difference but it does happen.

It's available somehow.

Just to be clear I am not saying that is not true, it is just not supposed to happen. I can think of several things, while unlikely, that could accidentally cause it.

If I remember correctly, preferences allow a member to block some of that information. Do many even bother to set those preferences? I'd have to check, but I think mine are set to show if I have tokens but not how many. Are reward points -- or whatever they're called -- also available for models to see? I can see where that would be pertinent information for you to know, to a certain extent anyway. Just curious. Certainly not a pressing matter.

UncleThursday said:trotskyleon said:Well you clearly dont know how the world works. MFC make it very clear that they offer more support the more you spend on them. Getting rid of a new user who spent $75 who they for them probably appears to a "problem" customer is hardly going to cost them (and probably save them in future, the trouble of investigating potential fraud transactions).
Just a note, you cannot buy a $75, 900 token package on your first day on MFC as a premium. You are limited to lower transactions for a certain (seemingly arbitrary) limit of time and/or tokens bought. I'm not even sure if you can buy the $50, 550 token package when first signing up. But I know you couldn't buy the 900 token package immediately after your first purchase.
This, alone, would make your story suspicious.

However, if you are new to a model's room and are asking her to go private with you, I don't think it's too much to ask that you at least unhide your tokens. That way, the model can see you're not one of those knuckleheads attempting to waste her time with a 70-token private.

Why is this wasting time? You get 60 tokens/min in a pvt. If its a short one like a minute the only one to lose out is the member.
Most new models dont know about this, heck they dont even know how much it costs for pvt or group anyway.

Your room count goes down a LOT when you leave the chatroom for a group, private, or even just away for a moment. When some guy wants to take you private for 30 seconds, you get 30 tokens, sure, but your room count is at most half of what it was, and it takes a while to get it back up. Those people might have wanted to tip you.

Room count will go back up, especially for new models. Plus a lot would like to spy on a new model too. But if no one was tipping anyway its better to do short pvt? Generally I am reluctant to take new models pvt, because they dont know anything. Most new models are reluctat to do pvts and groups too.

You can communicate a quick note to any model by using a tip note. Does not have to be a large tip. Or you can send a MFC mail if your not in a hurry.
I don't want to speak to someone who is freeloading on me, has no intention of tipping me ever. Why on earth would I want to speak to you?
If a model does have her pm's open then I hope you'll buy tokens and tip her showing you're not just trying to take up her time (which will make her lose out on money).
If you want to pm a model then I very much hope you are planning on tipping her or taking her private.
Seeing as you've bought 200 tokens, why don't you find a few models you really like, see how much it costs to be on their friends lists, check out their videos for sale,
By your attitude it sounds like you're never going to do this, but, it's worth a try.
Man, I'm really sorry you can't bother models with your dirty talk in PM even though you paid the whole whopping $20 to become a premium member.
Why don't you let us know why it's so important to you to be able to PM models, but you can't pay whatever it takes to get on her friendslist/PM-list?
If you became a premium member only to be able to PM every model, with no intention of ever buying more tokens and spending them on those models, MFC is not for you.
The fact that you think that should force all models (even ones you never tip) to give you free attention is just baffling.
But I only add people I personally like. And you seem pretty mean. Models are people, and we can refuse interaction from you if we want to, just like real life.
LadyLuna said:It takes 30 seconds for a private to clear my room of everyone except the few regulars who have mutliple rooms up anyway. And for them, it takes a good 2 minutes to realize I'm back. That means that every private, regardless of how long or short it is, takes away an additional 2 minutes of my time after it's over. Thus, if a private only lasts 1 minute, I got 60 tokens for 3 minutes of time. Hence why I ask that privates last at least 3 minutes. I'm cool with needing to spend 2-5 minutes to rebuild my room if I just got 180 tokens, but that's me.
remember, 1 token = 5 cents. Divide the tokens by 20 to find out how much money I just got.
(1/20 = .05)
60/20 = $3
180/20 = $9
Now, think about it this way. you take a girl private, you just cleared out her room, so she has to basically start over as though she just logged on. Except, she now doesn't have MFC sending out the notifications to let people know that she just logged on, because she didn't just log on. She got back from private, but MFC doesn't send out an email or text message to let people know about that. So she's actually WORSE off than if she just logged on.
For a model who usually takes 1 hour to actually start earning money after logging on, after a private it will take her another hour and a half to start earning money again. This is where I'm at. Let's say that private happens an hour and a half into my shift. I've been earning a bit of money for the past half hour. I earn, on average, $15/hour, so during that half hour, I probably earned $10. If he takes me to a $3 private, I've earned $13 for 3 hours of work. That's less than a THIRD of what I would normally earn. If he takes me to a $9 private, I've earned $19 for 3 hours of work. That's two fifths of what I should have earned for that time on camera, but I can deal with that. (put it into 10ths, the first is 2/10 the second is 4/10) BUT, if that happens all night, well, I count that as a bad night on MFC, cause I'm likely walking away with $38 for the whole night (or $26, in the case of the 60 token private).
Now, some nights I get lucky, and it only takes me a half hour to regain my room. Let's look at that case. The $3 private, I earn $13 for 2 hours of work. A little less than half of what I should've earned. The $9 private, I earn $19 for 2 hours of work. That's two thirds of what I should've earned. Again, not exactly great, but I can deal with that.
For any model who earns over an average of $15 an hour, anything less than a 5 minute private is a loss of income.
Now, about the spies argument- the spies can't keep watching once the person who has initiated the private ends the session. If the private only lasts 1 minute, the model will be lucky if she had any spies at all. PLUS, people are very irrational about stuff like this. If the private ends before the spy is finished, he's likely to not spy on that model again. Even though it's not the model's fault. Even though it's the fault of the premium who started the private. The spy will think "she didn't give me a good show." She just lost future revenue. How do I know this? By the people who pm me during private trying to give me orders and getting mad that I don't follow them. By the people who type their orders in public chat, where the other members can laugh at it. By the number of pms and mfc mails I've gotten saying "I spied on that one private." followed by questions implying that I'm the one in control of the length of show, or implying that my privates must all look like the one they just saw.
So no, when a camgirl gets a 60-second private, she's not $3 richer. Likely, she's at least $10 behind where she would've been.
