MFC kicking Models off line.

[camstory]

Was just in Roxie Red's room and she was kicked off line, and when she managed to get back on she said she got an error message from MFC stating that there was too much traffic and that is why her connection was dropped. I'm thinking Leo is making enough money that this should not be happening?

If he's making that much money, he has no need to make major changes to the website.

Good point, I always forget no one cares about customer satisfaction these day, if it makes business sense to keep getting over.

You know what? When I was trying to log into the model web broadcaster the other day, I got that message that there was a 'high volume of traffic' or something. But I was still able to log in. Of course whenever I click that 'Start broadcasting' button, it takes a while for my video to pop up (and I can already see guests/basics/prems entering my room, and then leaving, before I even appear on screen), so then I had to close the chat and click 'start broadcasting' again. Happens a lot.

Yeah this happens to me a bit too often as well. Irritating as I'll get out.

 

[Evvie]

I mean, world of Warcraft does it. Everybody knows they don't do irritating stuff. So it must be ok.

MFC updated the web broadcaster today in some way. I'm not sure what they did as I'm embarassingly non tech savvy for a cammer :shhh:
but, I was getting kicked off quite a bit yesterday. I do know you have to have the latest version of adobe flash to broadcast now. That's all I have to say about that.

 

[LilyMarie]

Wow, I've never heard of that... Thats not cool.
How do they decide which models to kick? Shouldn't they start with the ones with the lowest camscores, as mean as that may sound, but I suppose they're the ones who are least likely to make money for the site? It seems so random that Roxie was kicked out.
And yes, it shouldn't happen at all.

I don't think it was actually "kicking people off" I'm saying I know they updated their software in the last day so it might have led to some problems. You can't use the web broadcaster anymore with anything less than adobe flash 11 :twocents-02cents:
You used to be able to get away with the older versions even though it wasn't "recommended" :whistle:

 

[ComicOzzie]

There were over 1,600 models online last night. I don't recall ever seeing a higher number.

 

[RoxieRed]

I still have no idea what happened that day.. it might have been updates like Lucky said, and I was unfortunate enough to have been camming at the time that happened. No worries, I was able to get back on about 10 minutes later and haven't had the trouble since.

If it happens again I'll screen cap it and report it to MFC. They got back to me pretty quick about another issue I was having.

MFC's been screwed up for me tonight. As soon as I got into my room, it was saying my bandwidth was poor. I had to keep closing my chat and reentering, and then there was just a black screen. After several attempts, it seemed to be fine, but damn...

That explains a lot....(slow night)

 

[PinkiePixi]

Tonight was dead for me traffic wise and guys were complaining of craaaazy lag (which I never have problems with). Not to mention I had to reload the browser broadcaster about 3-4 times before it would load all of the way, and it took longer than usual for my cam to load.

 

[Anonymous]

Tonight my video froze up about 3 times while in MFC public chat. And then at one point, I was told that the audio wasn't working. I've had to exit my chat and reenter a few times. I hope it's not like this on Friday night.

 

[PinkiePixi]

I got kicked off tonight. -.- But I was able to relog quickly. Still, my room number dropped by half because of it!

 

[IsabellaSnow]

Mfc kicked me out last night, I got no message though and I managed to log back in pretty fast.

I know there's a type for everyone, but I do kind of think mfc should start monitoring the girls who sign up. I know they're making silly amounts of money yadda yadda, but fact is, there's only a certain amount of money on mfc, some of the really low camscore models are bringing in so little is it really worth it? Those guys would probably just tip a different model. Mfc literally lets any girl become a model, whatever she looks like. Which is cool, but with 1600 camgirls online at a time and only a certain amount of money around, when there are so many camgirls online that the site cannot handle it, maybe it's time to start monitoring the new models coming in.
Might just be me though...

I don't think that would be fair to the new girls, not letting them in without even giving them a chance, you know? However, when someone's been hanging around on page 3 or 4 for the last several months, there's obviously something wrong. When a girls has an extremely low camscores (under 200 or so), there's a reason for that. If the site has to say goodbye to models, they should start with those ones. :?
Many of them aren't even unattractive, but they're ~obviously~ studio models who stay online for ages and cam on different sites at once. I just went into the room of a girl with a 192 camscore and could hear the sound that appears when someone contributes Gold on Streamate three times.

 

[IsabellaSnow]

What I mean is not just not letting any new models come online, I just mean being more selective. Maybe not always accepting new models. There are just so many models online at one time at the moment, and I haven't noticed any difference in the member traffic, at least not paying members. I think you're right though about some of the low camscore models. I get everyone's trying to make a living, but sometimes if you pretty much not making anything then it's just slowing down the system for nothing. Mfc must make a lot of money, but it makes most of its money through the top 500-1000 models. I know to them it must seem like "oh cool, we keep making more and more, everything must be great" and they have little incentive to change things, but there are girls on mfc who I think have the potential to earn so much more than they do, and many who are just never going to earn much at all.

I understood what you meant.
I don't think MFC should be selective based on looks when they're accepting new models, like you suggested in your previous post. They should accept everyone who applies, in order to give them a chance. There are girls of all sizes and with all kinds of faces in the top 100, so who is MFC to judge who is attractive and who isn't? They can still kick them out later if it turns out they have had a very, very low camscore for a certain amount of time.

just suppose that MFC wouldn't have let YOU log on to cam when you first started
and restricted your ability to build up a following and earn money.
Think about it. :twocents-02cents:

Then I wouldn't have joined mfc, pretty simple. There was another cam site I thought of working on but they weren't taking anymore people. I'm really glad I didn't join there though as the pay was shit! When I signed up I assumed they would be selective so wasn't getting my hopes up about being accepted. But I do see what Lily means if girls camscores stay so low for a period of time. It just seems harsher to kick someone off a camsite once they're already on the site than to just not accept them in the first place. Then again, if there were something that say if a girls camscore remains really low girls that they might get kicked off mfc it might get some girls regulars to buck up their act and start tipping her to keep her online. Most guys don't care about camscore, but I bet they'd care if they felt the model they like watching is going to be taken from them. And I guess if that threat of the girl not being on cam anymore doesn't get people tipping then the girl is kind of doomed on mfc anyway.

 

[AllisonWilder]

I think even restricting girls who have camscores under a certain number for a long time would be a bad plan. I was in the 200-300 range for a good 4-5 months until I was able to push my way back over 1000. :twocents-02cents:

There is no need for a successful model to say other models need to be kicked off of the site. MFC makes millions and can afford have as many servers as they want. If they had less models, they would just cut back on servers and nothing would change. It makes you look petty and uncaring when threads turn to this topic I think.

The speculating Isabella and I did was of course under the premise that MFC will get a lot more stable if some models are let go.

 

[Teagan]

I dont agree fully with the low camscore girls going either. Some of them do decent enough i've seen but just have maybe a bad cam, or internet so they don't do as well as they could. I don't think it would be fair. Especially when it comes to looking at girls like Evvie and Jolene who had under 1,000 for quiet a bit of time. Sometimes it just takes a bit to get the regulars who can tip when they see you. Plus with lots being wary about tipping new girls for fear she's a scammer....

If they're gonna delete anyone I say go through the ones offering rule breaking shows and delete them. I don't mean public cum shows but the "Poo, pee 50 tks" shows. They're rule breaking completely AND always have bad camscores.

I did not direct my comments to anyone, but I am telling you what other people may think. MFC is unstable because they people running it know what they can get away with. Nothing would change if poor people trying to make a living lost their jobs. How would you feel if the top 20 models were on this board saying you should be kicked off, because of your score?

What kind of a comparison is that? Are you serious..? :shock: - I was talking about models who show that they don't take mfc seriously by camming on many sites at once, ignoring their chat etc. But I'm far from being an expert on things like servers/bandwidth, if you say mfc won't get more stable if there are less models online, then yes there's no point in kicking anyone off.

However if the amount of models DOES make a difference, then I think I prefer Tegan_Chase's suggested approach (banning models who break the rules she mentioned).

It makes sense to you because your score is above the cutoff point. To a higher ranked model you may look like a slacker who does not want to put in the effort needed to be on the top. MFC allows models to cam on multiple sites, because they like having a high model count. The thousands of freeloaders are the source of the problems, and they are MFC's future potential customers as well. The rule breakers that are still on the site are there for the same reason, MFC wants them to to be there for the money they make now or in the future.

I would like MFC to be more stable, but I am a regular customer and am not going to leave. They have no need to change to be profitable and they know it.
