Q&A session with the AW Webmaster

[iluvjem]

Movie clips and minimum pricing: why can't we just price things as we wish?

This is common on other sites there is minimum to cover there costs and it's dictated by file size.

[admin]

Will be checking the lastest posts later today and sending off our first Q&A report to Webmaster.

Thanks

Q&A emailed to Webmaster, as its fairly lengthy I dont expect a reply for a few days at least.

Will post answers to any of the questions they answer for us when the reply arrives back.

Thanks

On c4s they do it by the duration of the clip and that works better for me.

It's still a minimum though.. if you are finding your clip too expensive then making the files smaller will do. I make mine quite small though i am not technically minded enough to know how.. I just do.. ha ha

Windows movie maker is quite good at resizing.

Clips should be around 1.5mb-2mb per minute.

Test movie quality before uploading, if it needs abit more then resize from the original again to find the numbers that match for you.

I aim for 1 or 2 minutes and then save them to email size in Windows Movie Maker and that keeps them under 3 credits.

Our beloved AW Webmaster has given us the opportunity to have a Q & A session with them.

Any questions non member specific you wish to put forward can be submitted below and any valid questions will be added to this post to send off to the Admin.

Dont rush in making your question, I will leave this open for a week or so before creating the final Q&A to send off.

Both Service seekers and Service providers may ask questions.



My Question:

Where does Adultwork see itself in 5 years? Any interesting developments that may be in the pipeline?

SW Member question:

Can you make a clients credit balance viewable to us while in JCI?

iluvjem Question:

Can you make it easier to view customers profiles? i.e if they are in Directcam we cant see anything. Would be good if we could just type there username in and view there profiles, feedback etc

Trinity-Belle Question:

Is there a reason why long standing providers of good repute do not get a warning before their profiles are de-activated for minor, unintentional infractions of the rules so that they can have an opportunity to put it right without losing income?

Trinity-Belle Question:

Is it possible to have TS members appear on the "Available Today" tab? At the moment it appears to filter on "female" providers only, and certainly when you click the "Click here to see more members available today" button, only female members are returned. Even if it were segregated into tabs like the "Featured" and "Local Escorts" sections, that would help. At the moment I get no extra response by using "Available Today", so I just don't bother with it.

iluvjem Question:

Why are verified members services suspended when its decided we have to reverify ourselves?

Classy_Katy Question:

Are they any closer to resolving the connection issues with justcamit and directchat?

Classy_Katy Question:

Is it possible to have a 4 minute period of chat before feedback can be left following directchat, the same as with directcam?

curlytots Question:

I've had a lot of clients say whilst in DirectCam or DirectIM that they get no warning when their credits are going to run out, and they would like this feature so they can top up before they get kicked out (I know they get notified whilst in DirectChat for example). Could this feature be a possibility?

curlytots Question:

Is there ever likely to a UK Bank Transfer option - I know it was perhaps going to introduced this summer, but it wasn't?

iluvjem Question:

Is there any plans to make content more interactive ie ratings and comments for videos, pics etc?

Classy_Katy Question:

Can permanent ban on justcamit mean permanent ban?

Classy_Katy Question:

Can we ban members from calling us on directchat?

Missnaughtyness Question:

What are the rules about no taboo chat?

christie Question:

Just how much money do you guys actually make?

Trinity-Belle Question:

Can we have more detailed reporting on our statements of which dates have been booked for featuring?

At the moment we get something like:

14/07/2012 14:31 Debit Featured Field Report: 14 Slot(s), Last date 14/08/2012 (Batch 23684).
14/07/2012 14:37 Debit Featured Field Report: 6 Slot(s), Last date 14/08/2012 (Batch 23685).
14/07/2012 14:37 Debit Featured Field Report: 6 Slot(s), Last date 14/08/2012 (Batch 23687).

(cut and pasted from my statement)

Which is all well and good... but which field reports and on which days?

Trinity-Belle Question:

I'd be really interested to know how many service provider profiles are deactivated by AW each day (or week, or month... which ever is easier to report on) and what proportion of these are automated bans / manually deactivated by AW / Deactivated by the user? From those service provider profiles deactivated by AW manually or automatically, approximately what proportion are subsequently re-instated? What are the most common reasons for de-activation of service provider profiles by AW?

Trinity-Belle Question:

How many people work on AW's user support desk?

Missnaughtyness Question:

Is it possible to have another shop on aw than just the sex shop for people to buy us gifts so we can add other things to our wishlist a bit like how amazon do it?
That way we get what we really want while staying safe with them not being able to get our address and aw still make a cut.

Miss Naughty that's an excellent idea ..Well AW, can it be possible please?

The Q&A was sent off recently to Webmaster, some of the questions are more like requests, something we tried to avoid so im not sure what sort of answers are going to come back.

AW are busy at the moment so will be next week before they can complete it and send it back to us.

That size will give you such bad quality that the punter will not buy any more of your films. My films are about 3 minutes long, and I use a file size of about 14BM for this. That's almost 5 MB per minute. This will give you a Bit Rate of 1.1 mega bits per second (nice and clear) and a frame size of 720x576, even with an aspect ratio of 16:9 (wide screen) and you can sell these of as little as £1
