Login help (MFC) for a new model, plus, any newbie tips?

[GweenBlack]

Oh! One thing makes sense now, MFC was a huge mess today in the morning, did you tried after that? I can now log in normally, but today in the morning nobody could do that.

Did you try, like, now?

 

[NiceMusicianDude]

Gween, yes... no luck. It's been going on for about 10 days now, sadly.

Thank you!

 

[PunkInDrublic]

First, nice NOFX reference in your name, PID.

Well thank you for noticing sir. I sometimes fear people will just think I'm a huge alcoholic when they see the name but happy when people get the reference.

 

[JerryBoBerry]

It's super weird you're on this forum so much, but a lot of your posts reflect you really dislike cam girls and what they do & have little to no respect for them as humans.

Super weird that you have been on the internet this long and don't understand gimmick posting.

gimmick
noun
an ingenious or novel device, scheme, or stratagem, especially one designed to attract attention or increase appeal.

Doing it once or twice is a novel scheme. Doing it consistently for three years is not a gimmick, it's pretty much just defining who you are.

 

[PunkInDrublic]

^So you know nothing about gimmick posting, not surprising, could of at least googled it. Do you belong to any non pornog communities Jerry? Gimmick posting is pretty popular in some of the places I frequent. If you could somehow manage to not watch porn all day long and try using the internet for non pornog reasons, you might find the beauty of gimmick posters. I know it will be tough for you to not watch porn all day but I got faith that you can do it. Maybe one day, and I know this is extremely unlikely, you might meet and talk to a woman in real life that you didn't have to pay.

Damn Punk, you sir are close minded, one sided, arrogant, and incredibly jaw dropping disrespectful at times. I honestly have no idea how or why you haven't been banned from speaking your opinion here. But I think even though you piss basically everyone off, some of the brutally honest comments you make are EFFING hilarious. And we all need a little asshole humor in our lives.

Now that I know everything you say is a gimmick, I'm just going to picture all your posts followed by cute little teddy bears hugging unicorns in a field of rainbow's and pink ribbons.

 

[PlayboyMegan]

There seems to be some discrepensies between your posts.
Here are some quotes made all by you:

she's not fully tech-savvy, like I am.

We are not computer-illiterate people. We are both tech-savvy

I feel that some of the models here have been offensive, thus making me defensive.

You've been awesome, Fay. Everyone else has, too. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart, truly.

Due to the escalation of stuff (she has read this thread), she's a bit hesitant to join and talk to you all.

I (and she) would do our damndest to bring back, as that is part of our very nature.

I wouldn't know, as I cannot access that forum. Once she signs up, she will be able to, and that is awesome!

That's some bi-polar shit if I've ever seen it.

I am a computer expert. She is very knowledgeable, but not like I am. Therefore, we are both tech-savvy.

I really do appreciate all the advice (from the bottom of my heart), despite some of the models being a bit..... stand-offish? "Everyone else" is a blanket term.

Due to the escalation of stuff (she has read this thread), she's a bit hesitant to join and talk to you all.

I (and she) would do our damndest to bring back, as that is part of our very nature.

Yes, she is hesitant, and as people, her and I are not "takers" in life.

I wouldn't know, as I cannot access that forum. Once she signs up, she will be able to, and that is awesome!

[/quote]


How is that statement bi-polar? I cannot access the Models Only forum, because it's Models Only. She, once she is verified/ready, will be able to. And that is awesome (for her!). ?

PlayboyMegan, I'd appreciate it if you read my responses in the context of who I was responding to. And if you don't wish to, I really don't care. I've found you to be the least friendly. No offense. I'm sure you're a sweet person.

On that note, thank you all for your assistance.... all the best to all of you.

You came here to ask for advice, and GREAT responses were given, full of heaps of wonderful advice.

When giving advice, a lot of times it isn't of utmost importance to be friendly, is it?
When giving good advice, sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind, so that the person asking can see the harsh reality of the situation. Do you see what I mean here?
It's difficult for any of us to give you advice and also be 100% sweet and pleasant about it, given the circumstances you have laid out for us.

 

[JickyJuly]

Have you considered camming as a pair? Couples seem to do pretty well on sites that allow it.

 

[PunkInDrublic]

Damn Punk, you sir are close minded, one sided, arrogant, and incredibly jaw dropping disrespectful at times.

Don't forget egomaniacal, narcissistic, and condescending. All characteristics of a great heel.

Now that I know everything you say is a gimmick

Slow down chief, I'd say at least a fourth of my posts are normal posts. I get that all that porn ain't going to watch itself and you got better things to be doing but don't be so quick to use the word everything. Sometimes my posts are decent, gotta break character once in a while. Makes those posts entertainingly weird, like wow he said something normal, what a weirdo.

 

[TicTacToe]

NMD, there is a general aggressive tone in these forums that keeps a lot of members in "lurker" mode and scares new people off. So you are not crazy and I did see the bitter tone in some of the replies to your OP which is the reason why you became defensive.

The idea that you are "stunting" your girlfriend by helping her out is ridiculous. Some cam girls like to exaggerate the actual work that goes into camming to make it sound more important or busy than it really is. Sure she will have to "learn" lighting and maybe a couple of HTML tags along the way, but it isn't rocket science and the process is a lot of fun. The idea that you would blackmail her after splitting is paranoid as shit. I wonder if the girl that posted it and the people who applauded her have ever had a real relationship in their lives with someone they loved and loved them back. It would be very difficult to have a real relationship with someone who feels like they are about to get backstabbed at any point.

If you ask me, I actually think its pretty awesome and healthy that you are taking on this challenge as a couple and that you are doing it together out of sexual curiosity and exhibitionism rather than out of necessity. That is the possibly the best way to enter the world of camming. Doing it as a team has the potential to make your bond stronger.

Now when it comes to your issue: I don't know why you haven't gotten verified or why MFC's support isn't replying to your emails, but I will give you a couple of theories on what I think might be going on:

1) MFC verifies new batches of models on Fridays, and sometimes it takes them a while to verify an account. Maybe she will get verified by Friday.

2) Maybe their system flagged her account because you live in 2 different cities and have been attempting to log in with 2 different IPs. MFC doesn't like multiple IPs on the same account.

Good luck to you and her, and HAVE FUN!

Just to continue with the thread derail, how messed up am I that I think 3/4 of your posts are fair, balanced, and normal. Not 1/4th.
But boy when I see those 1/4ths, I'm like :shock:

-----------------------------------------------------

So here's my question OP, why doesn't your gf just join a different site? Since she's just wanting to do it for funsies she'd probably be better off on Chaturbate (where you could join her on cam). There's no approval process on there, you just sign up and are ready to broadcast.

 

[KudosKids]

Or stream mate? Or F4F? Maybe even LiveJasmin? There is alot more cam sites then mfc. Idk about the approval process. But the girl is right, mfc isn't a site for funsies. The ladies here take there job very seriously. And in order for her to have fun she would need viewers and viewers on mfc only come with a decent cam score. If she isn't doing this for money, then I would go for another site.

It would be very difficult to have a real relationship with someone who feels like they are about to get backstabbed at any point.

First off, your ignorance really shows when you belittle the idea that camming is anything less than hard work. Sure, every girl has her own style and does things very differently, but we all wear many hats doing this job. We're playing many roles, including but not limited to: therapists, make up artists, choreographers, videographers, web designers, sex objects, and so much more. If you're a girl like me who spends a ton of time using twitter, snapchat, instagram, vine, and communicating with her regulars via email, MFC mail, texting, etc. then you will come to understand that this is a job you cannot clock out of. It's literally 24/7 and it consumes your life.

Sure, this is a fun job. There are lots of perks, but also tons of downsides, just like any type of work. Doing taxes as a camgirl is a bitch in itself. Trying to keep your content from being immortalized on the internet is even more of a fruitless effort. And MusicianGuy and his phantom girlfriend apparently have pretty seemingly successful careers already. Is it really the best idea to practically ruin your image and reputation over your desire to be a so called "exhibitionist"? If you really want to do it this solely for fun, cam on CB as a true exhibitionist who does not receive any money whatsoever. They approve your account within an hour at most, and you're ready to broadcast. Easy.

Onward to the portion that was actually directed towards me.
For me to point out that something was a perfect storm for blackmail in no way means I have been burned in relationships in the past, not that it's any of your business, or your place to even speculate such nonsense. It's just that I am aware of the consequences that arise when you divulge your personal information to someone, whether you are a camgirl or not. But when you are a camgirl, or looking to potentially start being one, honestly the best thing you can be is paranoid. Your security is vital to this job and it should be heavily guarded. For you to say this shit really just proves your naivety to the entire interworkings to being a camgirl. Many of us use VPNs, mail forwarding services, have two separate cell phones, and check some very unappealing websites on a daily basis to ensure we haven't been ousted. LOTS of camgirls have their personal information leaked on a daily basis. People enjoy doing this for whatever reason. I've seen camgirls' mugshots, wedding photos/videos, facebook accounts revealed, and so much more. I am aware of these things. I think other girls should be too, for their own safety.

she could always change her password, or apply for a new SSN, if that situation arose (which it will not).

It isn't always boyfriends doing shit like this, but perhaps MusicianGuy's girlfriend needs a wake up call to realize NO ONE SHOULD HAVE HER SSN BUT HER. Maybe her parents might happen to know it by memory or something, but that's not shit you reveal to your boyfriend. Doesn't even matter if they've been dating over a couple of years or not. Especially if her boyfriend lives in another city... How is that benefitting her? Plus I loved his quote about how it's a very slim chance they will ever break up (yeah right) and if they do... wait for it... she can just apply for a new one :lol: Yeah dude okay. He basically said, "Yes, I have her SSN. If we break up, she can just get a new one". ALRIGHTY THEN. I fucking worry for this girl. Maybe she should be applying for a new SSN like now. But I guess I'm just a paranoid lunatic for caring about somebody's private information being kept under wraps.

But yeah, as you said, "it isn't rocket science and the process is a lot of fun".
That depends completely on your idea of fun.

Lots of girls find this work to be mentally tasking, degrading, etc. after they get a taste for it. It takes a special girl with looks, brains, social skills, and complete computer literacy to do this work. Is sitting here typing this out to you my idea of "fun"? No.
Is spending hours filming, editing, and exporting a video "fun" to me? Not really.
Lots of what I do is enjoyable on some scale, but can get repetitive and tedious and is definitely WORK. Plenty of people have jobs that are magnified versions of little things camgirls on a daily basis. Sure, I'm no professional photographer, but I have all the equipment and do it myself. I'm the model AND the photographer, which makes things even trickier. This goes for everything I do. Camming is a fucking production put on by one girl all by her lonesome. So please don't tell me that camgirls like to talk as if they're working harder than they really are, because that's some bullshit. We all work very hard to make beautiful content for our viewers, try our best to be entertaining and positive on cam, and yes, we make it LOOK easy, so dummies like you tend to believe that it really is. Time for you to wake up, dude. Don't be the douche who says "camming is easy" on a fucking camming forum. Also, don't be feeding lies to newbies. They don't need to be surprised when they realize that this will take a lot more of their energy than they may have ever intended. But sure, go with what you said. IT'S SO FUN AND EASY 100% OF THE TIME! WOOHOO! :dance:

 

[eyeteach]

Okay, I'm adding to this thread for two reasons:

1. I feel lonely and left out and desperately need some sort of affection and attention; hold me???
2. This thread is 3 pages long and nobody has suggested KoolRay videos? Really? Come on people, you're letting me down.


You may now continue...

 

[LilyMarie]

If you want to help, maybe spend more time working or get a better paying job so your girlfriend doesn't have to get naked on the internet for strange dudes like me.

Yea because what woman in their right mind would want to be independent when they can just have a rich man to support them, instead? :roll:

Rich man supporting you seems better than strangers on the internet supporting you but ok.

You know, every time I start thinking 'maybe he's not that bad' something like THAT happens and I think 'yes, he actually is that bad.'

MFC MEMBERS ARE NOT SUPPORTING US THE WAY A PARTNER WOULD, WHAT THE FUCK.
They're paying for services and goods that we're providing. This is a job and you clearly see it as less than that. Why do you spend so much time on a camming forum when you have such issues with camgirls?! I can't wrap my head around it. Then again I only get naked for strangers on the internet, that must mean I'm not particularly bright, anyway.

Woah now! Someone got under your skin! Damn, that was defensive mode at its best. I would just like to add, that he didn't really give lies to newbies. There is a lot of different cam girls. Some do more work then others. A lot of you girls have cam scores that are 4k or higher. A lot of the cam girls on this forum strive to be the best and take the job very seriously. But there is a lot of cam girls that don't take this job seriously and are not wanting to be the best cam girl they can be, they just want side money. Yeah maybe, they don't make as much money as all of you. But they are also not full time cam girls. They don't sell there phone number, make vod's, or monthly picture sets. They just chat and cum and go on with there normal life. Now that really doesn't require much work. Obviously you Tilly, take this job seriously and love what you do otherwise you probably wouldn't be putting so much effort into it to build up a fan base. But this guy's girlfriend doesn't seem like she is wanting to do this so she can make it her life. She wants side money. And a lot of cam girls do this as side money and have other jobs besides camming, and the two haven't collided and fucked up one job for the other. Camming maybe work for one person versus the other person who doesn't care enough to make it work. Let's just all try to remember not everyone who comes to this forum wants to work as hard as some of you ladies do.

You seem to get angry very easily when someone voices an opinion you do not agree with. I wonder if this might be the reason you find camming to be so taxing.
If you read my post I never said camming is easy. What I did say is that many in here exaggerate the amount of work that goes into it to make it sound busier than it really is. I added that it isn't rocket science because it isn't as technical and difficult as many of the models on these forums want to make it seem.

One thing though is camming is gonna be a really nasty wake up to harder than she/you planned when she goes through the process of learning all the ropes (because in reality she has to not you). She'll have to learn what lighting works when while she's on cam, what topics work, what sells what doesn't. She'll have to learn LOTS of coding.

She is probably camming in a different spot of the Space/Time continuum cause unless she is hailing from 2001, I don't see how you need to know an IOTA of coding in order to cam. You *can* learn some to improve your profile if you want to, but there are tons of great profiles made with exactly 3 HTML tags. Many successful models have blank profiles too.

Nowadays anyone can take beautiful photos easily. You don't even need special equipment, even the camera on your smartphone has amazing quality and you can get great shots using daylight. It doesn't take brain surgeon to edit a video on iMovie. And trust me you don't need to crack open Avid or Final Cut to do it. You could even skip the editing process and just make an entire video using your webcam and photo booth like you do it when you broadcast. Many cam girls don't even sell any content and yet enjoy great success on MFC. So yes, a cam girl might want to have several different skills but it's optional and it isn't anything the normal person can't figure out in a couple of weeks.

This doesn't mean cam girls don't work hard. If you want to be successful at it you have to BE THERE. You have to be constant and put the hours in every single day. The real work a cam girl does is not technical and it doesn't require a crazy amount of knowledge, but that doesn't mean it is easy: her real work is ON CAM. Requires stamina, commitment, discipline to be there every single day, and the positive attitude to stay even when it's slow without making anyone in the room uncomfortable. This is the real challenge, and it is way easier if you love what you do, and you try to at least have fun while doing it. If you find camming so taxing, frustrating, hard, and degrading, then perhaps you should reconsider your career choice.

Camming maybe work for one person versus the other person who doesn't care enough to make it work. Let's just all try to remember not everyone who comes to this forum wants to work as hard as some of you ladies do.

Just because I wrote out a long reply explaining the interworkings of being a camgirl does't mean anything upset me or got under my skin. Another great thing about being a camgirl is that it builds up your defenses to nonsense. That doesn't mean I ignore it, it just means I am not deeply perturbed by much these days. I've seen and heard so much worse over the years.
Also, nowhere in this thread did this couple say they wanted "side money". Actually, a lot of what you said didn't make much sense. But okay. Even just the "chat and cum" camgirls have a lot more going on behind the scenes than you may realize. That's the only point I was making. We ALL do things very differently, as I said in my previous post, but I am sure when his gf gets started she will realize all this. I thought it might be helpful to lay it all out so she could get a small taste of the downsides though. It's really not all fun and games all the time.

You seem to get angry very easily when someone voices an opinion you do not agree with. I wonder if this might be the reason you find camming to be so taxing.

I added that it isn't rocket science because it isn't as technical and difficult as many of the models on these forums want to make it seem.

Again, I'm not angry over this in the slightest. Maybe you interpreted the way I strongly worded my post as being angry or upset. I'd like to reiterate that my skin is pretty thick when it comes to stuff like this. It's definitely not the first or the last I will hear of someone undermining another person's job or their work ethic.

If you find camming so taxing, frustrating, hard, and degrading, then perhaps you should reconsider your career choice.

If this was geared towards me, I hope you know I said SOME GIRLS find this work to be very degrading once they get a taste for it. I've been doing this close to four years. I've put myself through college and have other side work to support me when I need a break. I have control over my own life, and I do really enjoy camming for tons of reasons. That doesn't mean it's all rainbows and butterflies. There's darkness to it, too. And revealing that to someone new was supposed to be helpful, not a cause to start an argument. We can just agree to disagree.

You know, every time I start thinking 'maybe he's not that bad' something like THAT happens and I think 'yes, he actually is that bad.'

One thing I've noticed, with new girls, is that even though they don't have the experience/foresight/knowledge to work hard from every angle (snapchat, twitter, making videos, etc) they tend to put in a LOT more time giving offline attention to their tippers because they haven't yet learned how to have a cam viewer/camgirl relationship that doesn't require hours of skyping or emails. I was very guilty of this when I first started. In some ways, I worked even harder when I was new because I was on cam more, and building relationships when I wasn't. I still work very hard at this job; last night I was filming in the middle of the night in the rain while wearing a tiny dress and trying not to get caught by the police for trespassing while setting things on fire, simply because I NEEDED the shot. But that's still nothing compared to the emotional work I got caught up in 3 years ago when I thought some guy dropping 1000 tokens on me meant he earned my unlimited attention forever.

So even the girls that just "get on and cam" and don't do the offline work I and lots of girls do, are very likely still working very hard. It's an easy trap to fall into.

Damn Punk, you sir are close minded, one sided, arrogant, and incredibly jaw dropping disrespectful at times.

Don't forget egomaniacal, narcissistic, and condescending. All characteristics of a great heel.

Now that I know everything you say is a gimmick

Slow down chief, I'd say at least a fourth of my posts are normal posts. I get that all that porn ain't going to watch itself and you got better things to be doing but don't be so quick to use the word everything. Sometimes my posts are decent, gotta break character once in a while. Makes those posts entertainingly weird, like wow he said something normal, what a weirdo.

Since you do make some thought provoking and interesting posts I have resisted any bans or dog house warnings, but the replies in this thread were incredibly unnecessary, scathing and derailing. I get that it's a troll's job to rile people up, but as a somewhat resident troll of ACF, there are limits.

Just ask Bawksy.

Many of us asked you months ago to stay when you were on your way out the door, so it feels bad to do this, but this is your official "Amber would appreciate toning it down" warning.

Please and thank ya.

OP, when she tries to log in, does this screen ever pop up?


If so, she can have her username and password emailed to her. If that isn't showing up, and she's still getting the "authenticating account" error, it probably means her model account hasn't been activated yet. They WILL send her an email saying something along the lines of, "You're ready to broadcast!" but if she has a spam filter on her email account, it might never come through. It's not unheard of; some models realize after waiting a few weeks for an email that they can just log in and start broadcasting or editing their profile.

She might have been delayed in getting her account approved because of the IP differences like some other people mentioned, but I wouldn't have her focus on that unless they tell her that's the reason.

Did she completely fill out every blank on this page? Once she did that, was she asked to send pics of her ID and give her other vital info (SSN, address, etc)? Until she has sent all of that in (once they ask, and in the correct places), she will not be able to broadcast.

I strongly suggest not trying to log in on her account again (even after she gets validated) from any other IP because it will send up HUGE red flags. ESPECIALLY if you have a member account already. In fact, for the first week or 2 (random time I picked out of the air), if she logs in from her phone, iPad, or anything else with a different IP, they might get another red flag on her account. MFC is very lenient, and will usually remove blocks due to miscommunication errors for models, but if she's already having issues, she might want to walk on eggshells in the beginning (when it comes to the IP thing).

We do not know when MFC support approves models or replies to emails. Oftentimes, they don't reply at all. Sometimes, they reply in 10 minutes, other times, 2 weeks later. Just make sure that in her emails to support she is mailing from the email she signed up with and includes the name she put on the application form.

If she really wants to become a camgirl, have her try Chaturbate or Streamate (unless she's dead-set on waiting for MFC). Myfreecams is VERY hard for new models just starting out due to the camscore barrier. If she's trying to learn the basics of camming and how to use her equipment (cam/lights/sound) while broadcasting, it's going to have a steep learning curve. Most new models fret that they wish they had learned the basics on a different site, then moved to MFC later, because usually their camscore falls so low during the learning phase that it's like pulling teeth to pull their score back up. Some people have INSANE amounts of luck, but it's rare. So whether she waits to hear back from MFC or not, just let her know about some of the other camming sites to dip her toe in the water.
