I think I've lost another big old spender. I'm so sad!

I've found dozens of models that block the navigation in various ways, preventing you from using CB buttons to move away from their cam. I still continue to advocate promoting a white label as 99% of the model's outbound and CB referral links are made non clickable by CB.

I'm still baffled that CB continues to allow models so much freedom with their profile page. It seems over the last three years it's gotten progressively worse as models discover new ways to divert their CB traffic to outbound links. 3 years ago you'd almost never see a model page with a CB referral affiliate link and now they are hundreds if not thousands who do it. CB gives the model more freedom to input code into their cam page than any other cam site.

Most of the top models try to divert their traffic to their OnlyFans page. I realize OF and CB are completely different, but you can't convince that the thousands of outbound OF links haven't had some sort of negative impact on CB revenue.

Instead of CB continuing to tell the models what they can and cannot do with their profile page and then trying to enforce it only when they get reported, why not code in the proper controls that eliminate the model's ability to even circumvent the rules.

I'm sure if CB were to implement these controls there would be an uproar amongst the models. However, CB has reached a maturation stage of tens of thousands of models whereby they don't need to coddle the models in order to keep them on their platform. If they lose a few, so be it, but I guarantee you the profit increase for CB from eliminating outbound links would far surpass any revenue loss from losing a few models

Things got worse for us ever since they got rid of affiliates support person.. They have shown us what they think of us affiliates!! Models get Tiffany jewelry and we cannot even get our emails answered!!

That su**s. I hate it when it happens. I've been riding a new whale since October, 2020.. Hopefully he won't do a mass chargeback anytime soon.

Is it allowed to sell an affiliate account that is making $,$$$ a month?

CB is down for upgrades...

Let's hope that they take out all the annoying BS

They are down for some time now. Let's hope for big improvements :2 cents:

CB itself is up again, WL are not, and Robo Script also not getting cams.

As far as i can see on CB itself there are still the buttons/overlays BS etc :(

HOW??

I mean I get around 2000-3000 signs up per month and get around 20-30 new spenders and there are shitty month with 12 and 18 new sign ups...

You mean your signups dropped from 2000 to 12 monthly ?
Was from 2000 signups only 20 spenders monthly ?
Are you sending traffic to join page ?

Exactly^^

Today my stats has dropped dramatically and free sign up is zero by now

The whitelabels are down but chaturbate is working fine, and the worst thing is that WL are showing this message:

https://i.ibb.co/pRYs0hT/wl-down.jpg

They dont should do that, our customers doesn't know that our websites are whitelabels of chaturbate :mad:

And they said in https://status.chaturbate.com/ that all the issues are solved:

https://i.ibb.co/4gsD6jP/chaturbate.jpg

PLEASE send a message to [email protected]

Looks like they're back up now. For me at least.

WL also back online, but no cams on Robo :(

Chaturbate API unreachable.

Shedevils wrote that PHP version of Robo is working.
WP version isn't.

Yeah, I don't use robo scripts so not sure what would be up with that.

Hope it gets woorking for you soon.

Hi,

The WP cam plugin was updated today, CB is working again so please update to v.4.34

Regards,
Nick

Thanks for letting us know.

:thumbsup

Robo fix:
https://gfy.com/22820549-post1114.html

Not all hero's wear capes, thank you very much!!

Really?

I changed my scripts to https:// a long time ago.

I think there was a discussion about that somewhere around here.

good find :thumbsup

.

Now official Robo update is working too.

I was hoping the update would fix the stats redirection issue, it's still there.

Are stats updating?

Guys I just got this

Payout Adjustment Stats by Tracking Code
Payout — $1456.89

It is my whitelabel but for what period is that, for what reason. If they can just payout 1500$ as an adjustment how can we know if we are not shaved all the time

Did you get an email?

I would like one too. :thumbsup

Anyone using Robo php script ? I see the models are not being parsed now.

As you can read above, you have to update

But I'm not using the wordpress version, Im using PHP instead. The fixes above relate to the WP version if I understand right

I can see a huge drop in my stats, It's updating so slow

Yeah, i am using the WP version. Then you have to send a ticket to Nick.

February started really really bad for me... I had 2 days with a big fat $0.. Now it's getting back to normal.. I have a small script checking my stats every 15 minutes and notifying me on new sales in email..It's flooding my email account now with new notifications ;)

How do update this? I haven't received an update, where can get an update?

If you have the WP Robo Script go to your admin > plugins and check for updates at your Robo plugin

That script sounds good, no need to check the stats page over and over.

Made it yourself?

If they were trying to shave you, why the fuck would they give you $1500 you did not ask for?

.

Everything was pretty normal before this updating phase, Either the update process has not been finished yet or something went wrong during update because my traffic has no changed, I just see this drop on the chaturbate stats

Try to find similar in PHP version:
https://gfy.com/22820549-post1114.html

Is that all the email says, please post the entire email so we can figure out what the reason for the adjustment was. Please stop the with assertions that CB is shaving, its just plain ignorant and also gives them the ability to terminate your affiliate account.

I have a few installs of this. I think mine are all working. What version are you running and what's happening?

How do we know this isn't a paid post to try to make people believe that shaving exists without questioning authority?

I have CSB 3.1 and 3.5, both are working

Yeah. It's pretty simple actually. It scrapes the Direct URL of the stats every 15 minutes, and checks if there are any changes or new values in the xml. If so, it saves the new sales in the db and sends me an email.

I will rewrite the whole thing in the upcoming days, as it's a mess right now, and post the entire source code if you are interested.

You only need a small database, a hosting account and you have to be able to set up cron jobs.

I am interested for sure, must be no problem to set up here :thumbsup

Now, first of all, you can check how ofter I post here and what my posts are.

Second and more important I just received an update on that.

This is IMPORTANT for All Affiliates to read as I was really really surprised (pleasantly) by Chaturbate`s support this time.

A bit of backstory:

Maybe 3 weeks ago I asked how did a certain whale that spent around 7000 in a matter of 14 days suddenly disappear when I know for a certainty he is still active. I did not get an answer, I provided his first spending date, country, spending amount, last spend date and date of sign up. I still didn't get an answer.

Yesterday I have received this :

"Thank you for reaching out and for being an active Chaturbate affiliate. This case has been escalated to me for supervisory review and resolution. I appreciate your patience as I looked into the details of the account you’re describing. I can confirm that the referral in question did create a new account. However they were not “stolen" as this user’s account is not currently tied to any affiliate link. Normally that would be the end of my inquiry, but since you have been with us for many years and have been a successful affiliate in that time, as a one-time accommodation, I’m exercising my supervisory authority to override the empty affiliate link field for this user’s new account and associating it under the original affiliate link for the old account. I’m also adding $1,456.89 to your current commission balance for the purchases completed by the user since they created the new account. I trust that this is responsive to your inquiry, but please feel free to let us know if there is something else with which we can be of assistance.
Thank you,
The Chaturbate Team "

To tell you the truth I did not expected this and I faith in Chaturbate restored!

Best regards,

Congrat on getting back what is due to you :)

Now lots of questions come to my mind and got some answer about where the spenders Land when they disappeared....

Going to smoke for a bit...
