Just seen a model arguing with a troll, which is annoying, but her responses to the trolling is what annoyed me. Kinda similar to the I'd never date a member comments.

Troll:How much you make in a year?
Model:I don't want to make anyone jealous

Not the exact wording but that was the gist of it. Like, its adorable that she thinks members would be jealous of what she makes, and I'm sure some are, but come on. Lots of members aren't going to be jealous(they might even enjoy knowing that you're doing well) or even impressed by what a model makes. Don't mind if models think I'm lame because I enjoy sites like mfc but I hate the idea of them thinking I'm broke or looking for a date. If I was broke, camsites would be the last place I'd wanna go, sounds like a weird form of torture. If I was looking for a date, pretty sure online would be the last place I'd look. I know I shouldn't let petty shit like this annoy me but I hate the idea of being misunderstood or thought of as something I'm not. Wish all models would just ban dudes that ask stupid or personal questions.

Your point is?

To be fair, I have had members say stuff like, "Wow, I was counting your tips the other night and when I realized you were making close to $XX per hour I concluded that [you make too much money and I'll no longer be tipping/you make so much money you probably don't even notice or need the pittance I can afford to tip/I will never make that much if I keep living on the Internet/etc.]" There are also big time tippers who like the idea of "supporting" a camgirl, and when they realize that she actually makes a certain amount of money they might get huffy knowing that they're not the only thing keeping her out of the poorhouse. A lot of people do think we're just dumb bimbos who sit around and take off our clothes and don't do any actual work, and they DO get bitter about how much money some of us can make.

Still, you're probably right that it would be best to ignore personal questions or ban if they keep it up, but I think this belongs under most annoying things members can do.
 
Adding on to that, that sort of "I make $xxx" can really lead into ugly conversations such as "you don't deserve it," you're a whore," and a whole onslaught of negative things. ;_;

But I totally think your main point, Punk, was she could doesn't have to answer to trolls, and doesn't need to divulge information.

Yeah, I tried to deflect questions about a large tip I got a couple weeks ago earlier today. People keep bringing it up and I wish they would stop because

a) I dont think the member who gave the gift would want to be put on blast like that
b) I dont want people to get the impression that I'm rolling around in piles of money, because I'm not

Stuff like that is extremely rare, and just because one person gives a generous gift doesn't mean the models goals for the month are suddenly over and don't matter anymore. Even mentioning that it happened will be twisted around by someone else into bragging. :woops:

Its just embarrassing and personal and I could see how someone could muddle their words when trying to deflect questions on the spot like that.

That comment made me laugh. Maybe she meant it seriously, I don't know, I wasn't there. But if it were me then I'd only have made a comment like that as a joke to get around the question. If she were a consistently top 100 model then to be fair her yearly wage would definitely make me very jealous and probably a lot of people in her room. I can see how it might piss you off, it's very easy for a model to irritate people watching because she's actually talking to a really small group of people, with a fuck load of onlookers, so she can easily say something not realising that out of the god knows how many people are watching her someone is offended by one thing she says. It's going to happen. Some guys might have found that really funny, some guys might feel it's a personal dig at them. It's similar to people watching reality tv, someone says something that a whole bunch of people love them for and other people are like "wtf is your problem?" and hold a hatred for them.

Since when did opinion threads suddenly require so much factual evidence?

Because you're stating an opinion based on a fact as though your opinion is a fact. If you knew for certain that it were a fake avatar, then you stating your opinion about it would be one thing, but you don't. In fact, you only have your opinion that you think it's a different girl, and others have stated their opinion that it isn't and your accusing a girl of something actually pretty bad and she's not here to defend herself.

Let's actually look at the facts: Fact- Both girls have very similar if not identical facial features. Fact- They have a different hair colour. Fact- Their skin is a different colour. Fact- They have different make up on. Fact- their face is at a different angle in the picture. Fact- A different camera has been used. Fact- The lighting is extremely different. Fact- All the differences are explainable and happen all the time in photos.

Again there's be no need for her to post a picture of someone else as her avatar unless she has a really weird sense of humour and is doing so to deliberately annoy people. And if she did then who is the picture of? I know that I don't even post pictures of myself with my friends so not to expose them to what I do, it's not fair. As the features are remarkably similar, would she really use a picture of her sister or another family member? That's a pretty nasty thing to do to someone if she hadn't got their permission, and not many girls would allow someone to use their face for something like that. Seeing as she's actually going onto her webcam and everyone can see her face if she'd gone to such deviant levels to trick people then surely her brain isn't so pea sized to not realise that once people see her then they'll realise that she hasn't got that current look. It just wouldn't make sense.
 
It gets annoying when I go for a private show and the model pays very little attention to me and is clearly working another camera and giving them the show I paid for. It's only happened a couple of times but it really sucks.

That does suck. A private should be just that- Private. Spies are one thing but the model shouldn't be interacting with them. I've heard of models chatting to people in pm also. I never respond to pm's in private, only times I might is when I'm halfway through a pm and pressed the space bar and accidentally accepted the private. Then I'll just say bye so not to be rude. But I'd never do it right in the middle of one.

All of these are also very good reasons to keep the camscore formula inside the models only section of this forum. I personally really wouldn't want it to become public knowledge on MFC, because then every member could easily calculate how much model x has made per hour over the last 60 days. (Not to mention that that's no reflection of her monthly earnings, of course.)

It's true what they say; money complicates things...

In the general world, telling someone how much one earns can lead to all sorts of issues. Some folks measure themselves to others based on the size of their bank account. And in the case of people who are actually wealthy, there are those leachers who come out of the woodwork asking for monetary favors, or expect the wealthy to fork out the entire dinner bill every damn time. And those examples are just the tip of the ice berg.

As earnings in the cam business are concerned, i've heard member rumblings on how certain top earning models are labeled as "a greedy bitch." I would say it's never a good idea to bring up earnings to anyone, even your fellow model, or even raise the issue of needing cash such the model who exclaims that she's broke and can't pay rent. The issue of money complicating matters can be just as real in the camming realm as the rest of the world.

These guys sound pretty bad. If a member is going to get jealous or bitter I don't think they will be spending much anyway and do models really even want these types of guys in their room?

Not sure I understand the want for secrecy. I don't think many members care about this stuff and if they do and they get jealous/bitter, again I doubt they are going to be spending much and why would any model want these dudes around?

If a member has the formula for camscore, and refers to a site like mycamgirl which tells them both how a model's camscore has changed and how many hours she has been online over the past 60 days, they can form a rough estimate of both hourly earnings and income over that time.

A model might not want these guys playing Fantasy Fuckdoll League around, but they show up anyway, and then go blurting things out in chat which, like it or not, do sour the mood. A model has a lot of things to pay attention to if her room is busy, and isn't always able to ban them quickly, and some models are a little hesitant about banning generally.

Definitely more than you think.
and if they do and they get jealous/bitter, again I doubt they are going to be spending much and why would any model want these dudes around?
Because not only big tippers are tippers. I wouldn't want to lose a small-tipping regular because of something like that.

And like Sevrin said, on MFC there would DEFINITELY be guys that would come into top models' or even just relatively successful models' room and blurt out their hourly tokens, or even their assumed monthly income. "OMG I did the math and she makes x per hour and probably made x in December and I only make x and I work really hard!"
I don't want that kind of drama or even that conversation topic to be brought into my room.

To me, it has *zero* to do with secrecy. IMO, income/salary/etc are *private* and *personal*(and that's a little different than secret), or at least they should be. All of those celeb incomes that are bandied about are mostly guesses. The exceptions are when a public corporation has to release expense reporting to comply with accounting laws; or politicians having to comply with election laws. Same with athletes, not just public corporation requirements, but union collective bargaining agreement reporting. Last time I checked, models don't fit any of these scenarios. They are private citizens, like you and I. And they deserve privacy, or at least a chance for that.

Let's put it another way: How many members would willingly post a jpg of their pay stub in the lounge? How many members would like it if somebody else leaked that jpg to the lounge? I've seen first hand where family members find out what others make. A good time was not had for all, lol.

I've said this same thing before, and when it does happen it never turns out well. I will never forget 2-3 years ago, a successful model bought a new Mercedes. She tweeted about it and had at least one "car" show in her garage. She wasn't boastful, she was patting herself on the back a little bit for her first "adult" purchase (similar to that). I honestly was ambivalent, because cars are transportation not status, etc. to me. But I liked her and was happy for her. If she was OK with a $1000+/month car payment for 6-7 years, great. If working on MFC allowed her to pay cash for it, more power to her.

But the lounge let out a collective OMGWTF and vented their venom in the lounge, on the internet and (some) in her room. HOW DARE SHE! What ever, dudes. During the "car show" my only thought was that I was afraid she would scratch the paint with her bra :lol: Not everybody felt that way.
 
For me it's when they start treating their regulars with cold indifference.Don't even say hi or respond when the regs are courteous enough to say hi & ask them how they are doing.Also when they renege on a prize won & say they don't do that anymore & turn around & work out a deal with someone else.Oh also when they just sit there & text the whole time & ignore the room.

When I did my top 100 month towards the end of the month it was getting seriously slow. I was risking the danger of not ranking. I'd put so much effort and energy into it, had devoted my life to it that month working my arse off and all the money I was earning was going somewhere. I spent a little of it on things for me, but almost all of it went to stuff that needed to be paid and it still wasn't enough.

Some douche turned up at the end of the month when I was saying just how slow it'd been that night and how we needed to step the game up being all like "But you must have made like 8 grand this month right?". I replied that I'd been working my arse off and all my money was to go somewhere important so even though I'd done very well during the month I still needed to make more and it didn't justify no one tipping now. He responded with "Oh, what charity are you donating to?" Because apparently me having important things to pay off means that I'm donating a whole bunch of money to charity. Apparently if you're a camgirl and you earn over a certain amount, even if only for one month, you should give your income away. No one would expect it off someone earning a similar wage to give away a large portion of their monthly income, but a camgirl? What could she need with her income?

The whole thing pissed me off immensely. Mainly because he'd announced my rough income in the room and had said it in a way like "why are you complaining? You've made loads this month, now you should be happy just to work for free!"

Lots of members do care about how much cam girls make, part of the obsession with the top 100 stems from that. All these dudes who see camgirls earning x amount and then come up with a clever formula to help make all models earn that, that stems from members becoming obsessed with models success and earnings. And yes, some dudes are very negative about it. It is also very easy to feel totally unsympathetic towards a model somewhere in the top 100 when she's having a shitty night if they know the figure she's earned that month. Something that is totally unfair because they don't understand just how hard top 100 is for most models and just how much it drains you! It may not always be that many hours on cam, but it consumes you. It's pretty much working 24/7 with no breaks. The only breaks I took that month were when I was so exhausted and mentally drained I had to just lie down and sleep.

It sounds to me like someone finds you obnoxious and without being blunt, is trying to make you go away but you aren't taking the hint.
There is a difference between a regular friend and a regular annoyance, and trust me... it happens. Chances are you've acted poorly or given her the creeps one too many times.

I was thinking of this one. I've seen several models who put things like this in their profile: "I'm non-nude/topless/don't do cumshows because I like to keep it classy." Do they realize they're openly insulting like 95% of their colleagues, and their potential customers as well?

This is sooo lame.
There's a huge difference between "lol I'm too classy for this" and "my style is a little different from most of what you see on MFC" or something like that >__> On the other hand, you might as well not go in that direction at all and simply say "I'm a semi-nude/non-nude model / I don't do cumshows" in your profile.

Pretty much. I've never acted like a bitch/not done something without reason. Most of the time it's because the member is giving me weird vibes or is pissing me off.

Members often respond to me when I tell them off for something with something like "but I thought we were mates", I never entirely get where they get this idea from. They've been into my room before and occasionally chat in the room. Maybe members who've exchanged a few pm's with me, the odd conversation, but definitely not someone who I'd consider a mate.
I don't go to a hairdresser and have a chat with them while they do my hair, then one day see them on the street and say hello, maybe exchange small talk then go and add them on facebook thinking we're friend's. I wouldn't be a friend, I would be a customer.

Remember as a member, we do not have to like you. There's a fairly good chance you do our heads in. Part of our job is dealing with you and acting friendly and polite. If you start becoming too much then yes, that lovely smile may turn into being completely fed up with you. If she does start acting like that it's unlikely it's because of her, she has no reason to act like that towards a decent member who tips and doesn't bug her. It's probably that you're being irritating.

I get it's probably frustrating for a member, but it's like saying "god, it's so annoying when you start dating a girl and she's really nice and into you, and then the relationship goes wrong and she breaks up with you." It happens, sometimes people just don't like you, just like sometimes you don't like certain people. Unfortunately it's a part of life and however much you pay a model you still cannot change that.

I have a viewpoint to offer!
For the first two-ish years I cammed I didn't do public cumshows and at one time had a banner that said "I'm a classy bitch!" followed by an explanation of how I do things. At the time that I made it, it was very tongue in cheek and the statement was not targeted towards anyone but myself. It made me chuckle and I thought it was kinda funny since I'm anything but classy and it was never intended to put down another party. I did take it down about a month or so after because while reading my own profile, I got that same negative 'put down' vibe from it...
"Keep it Classy" was also made very popular by the movie Anchorman and of course, Posie. While it does come off like she's putting others down, other models may not have even been in her thoughts and she's just trying to deliver her unpopular style in way that members may take it well...

To the OP, despite having that graphic on my profile at one point, over time my preferences changed as well as my cam style. Every models camming style will evolve in one way or another, and I'll always applaud any model for choosing the path of personal boundaries and comfort levels vs. trying to please everyone else.

:twocents-02cents:
 
I was talking to a model who was not great at English. She went off cam for a while and began PMing me, trying to talk me into a private, in much improved English. Really a creepy experience imagining who I was actually talking to. So having someone else pretend to be the model in a PM is right up there with annoying things to do.

Talking and typing are two different things. For one thing, the accent doesn't come through in typing, so that might have been half of it. For another thing, she might have gone away to be able to consult a dictionary without looking like she's doing so on camera. Lastly, I knew plenty of classmates in French class who passed all the written tests with flying colors, but could hardly speak it and couldn't read it to save their lives.

If she had been sitting there chatting away while in view of the camera and her hands were nowhere near the keyboard, that's one thing, but being better at written English than spoken English is in no way proof that it was a different person.

I was talking to a model who was not great at English. She went off cam for a while and began PMing me, trying to talk me into a private, in much improved English. Really a creepy experience imagining who I was actually talking to. So having someone else pretend to be the model in a PM is right up there with annoying things to do.

YES! With any language classes I've taken, I've done incredibly well at reading and writing portions or oral comprehension portions but have a REALLY tough time with actually speaking myself. I'm not saying that this model for sure didn't have someone else typing for her, it's something I've heard of happening, but I agree wholeheartedly with Luna's post. If you liked her a lot before you became suspicious of her PMs, maybe don't write her off just yet! If you visit a few more times and feel like it's definitely someone else typing, then I can agree that is really annoying, but she might just be a lot better at typing in English than speaking it aloud!
