MESSAGES

• A perfect way of keeping contact with members is to use the inbuilt message system at the menu called Messages. This is also where you get system notifications, for example about votes given on your shows from members.
• If you would like to send something to a member then click on Write messages then type the desired member's viewer ID. When you start to type the viewer ID, system lists the possible member usernames for you, choose the right one from there (click on it).
• You can enclose pictures too and links. If you have any pictures on your PC you can easily send them to any members just like sending and email but you can send images uploaded to your gallery already also by clicking on Browse from gallery. Sending video links is also possible, if you would like to share a youtube video with a member you can easily do it! Do not forget to type a message as well to the member, do not send only links or pictures, write them at least some lines!
• It is important to keep in touch with your customers, notify them when you are online and talk to them a bit even when they won't come online. Showing them interest can have a long-term effect!

First you see a chart containing a summary of your income types based on the selected month or period

You can find the following Charge Types here:

Voyeur	members can peek in your room if you are in private session or in members only' mode. They CANNOT TYPE, only watch your live stream. If you are having a ONE-ON-ONE show, other members will not be able to peek in your room with Voyeur feature Read more about it here

New member bonus	We sometimes run special new member bonus periods. It means that we give you a fix bonus for referring new members to us.

Deductions	Charge Back / Refund: we do our best to fight against credit card frauds (credit card abuse, using stolen card, ...) but it happens rarely that it cannot be avoided. In these cases we need to deduct the spent amount from your earnings and you will see it with either Charge Back or Refund entry. If you see a REFUND entry in your statistics then it may mean that the member and asked his transaction back. Refunds also may happen if the billing company (billing company = members buy credits through this) realised that the transaction is fraudulent and they find it better to refund the transaction before it becomes chargeback. Cancel: if a member makes a complain about your private show and the complaint was grounded then we give back his credits.

Turnover Date:

• here you can see the detailed statistics of the selected period. Basically you see the daily stats but clicking on a desired day you will see the detailed stats of the selected day

My privacy

If you would not like to have viewers from a country or more countries (e.g. from your own country) you can restrict users from the desired countries (up to 10 countries) here. The selected countries can be changed any time under this menu with the help of the arrows.

We distinguish two types of visitors in our country banning system:

• Guests and basic members
• Paying members

The effect of country banning:

• Visitors from a banner country will not get any results if they type your performer username to the 'Search' field on the list page
• If you banned a country then users from that country cannot access your room, do not find your profile on the site at all and cannot see your photo contest images either
• will not see your profile image in Model Awards, contests. They will see a sample image instead and only the first letter of your performer username will be seen in Model Awards and contests for visitors from a banned country. So instead of MystiqueMilla for example there will be 'M...' written only.
• The online status indicator in the Model awards and contest pages will always show you offline for a visitor from a banned country, even if you are in free chat, members only mode, private or break mode.

NOTES also can be opened from the Sender software clicking on the viewer's name and choosing NOTES
