I would like more details on how offline tips work, and how much they really do help improve camscore. What is the minimum limit? Does it matter if model does not log in for long period of time?
More specifically, why does one tip seem have no effect, but next day another tip does improve camscore. Do you have to actually log in to MFC to have the tip calculated for your camscore?
Camscore updates every 15 mins or so, but also only updates if the model has been on recently. Doesn't have to be on camera, logging on the main site to browse counts too.
Offline tips don't help any more or less than online tips do, IF the offline tips were going to be tipped if you were online anyway. Camscore is a function of how quickly you make tokens compared to how quickly everybody else is making tokens, based on the past 60 days. Thus, even if you don't cam, there will be minor fluctuations. If the general tokens/hour increased while yours stayed the same, your camscore will go down. If the general tokens/hour decreased while yours stayed the same, your camscore will go up.
So, it will go up or down based on not only what happened today, but also what happened 61 days ago. Example: if you got a really big tip, bigger than normal, 61 days ago, then your camscore will go down as it just fell off the back. However, if you had a really dead day 61 days ago, then your camscore will go up as that bad day fell off the back.
Thus, having a usual "videos half-off if tipped offline" will probably hurt more than help if you advertise it while you're on camera. Guys who would tip the 200 while you're on camera will wait till you log off and tip the 100 then. You got 100 fewer tokens for the same amount of time on camera, so your camscore will be less than it would've been.
However, if you're going to be gone for a long period of time, advertising an offline tip sale is a great way to keep your camscore up while your online days slowly drop off the back of that 61 days.

I have never heard of there being a minimum for offline tips.
