Just a question because I think there is a FUNDAMENTAL ethics issue at hand (not that many care about ethics these days) and I just see a major problem with said processor mixing their merchants' transactions with their own personal ones to benefit their fraudulent business.

I don't know - mixing their fraudulant transactions with those of their merchants to cover their asses on chargebacks, etc. Doesn't seem kosher, but maybe no one cares.

Any input is valued because I would personally fear putting my valuable user data in their hands and quite frankly, you should be too.

I'd bet money that it was just a scare thread to get someone to pay her what she is owed.

If she actually cared about the industry as her post attempts to portray, she would have outted the company :1orglaugh

Instead she probably got paid, and has left you all to unknowingly work with a shady processor who is probably using your data :2 cents:

and all the industry people jump into the thread to seriously answer her rhetorical question as if it was a genuine question haha

We don't know her reasons but it was a provocative question apparently. Not exactly rhetorical because she was looking for some kind of discussion. And some well respected elders have spoken.

This pathetic small world industry has dug itīs own grave & you've pointed it out perfectly. Glad i got out years ago, now it's you are either a Manwin/Mindgeek slave or a bottom feeder. I have no interest in both. After starting out in mainstream, adult seems like child's play - many unprofessionals in their own small pathetic world.

Someone moving to greener pastures would be considered a quitter?

Why work 10x as hard for the same amount of money?

Not sure if you've noticed but this industry is cannibalizing itself.

You can tell how bad it is because the bread and butter (content) market is fucked. How many producers have you seen go broke and making borderline begging threads for people to buy their content? Offering their entire collection for prices like 199


With money/opportunities tight, people are only looking out for themselves also. Stuff they would be against back in the day seem not so bad now. Stuff like working with a shady processor may even be okay as long as they don't screw you over personally in some cases :2 cents:

The Porn Nerd 03-22-2015 10:34 AM

I'll tell you who I wouldn't trust: some poster named K R I S T E N who opens up a can of worms by implying a cc processer is unethical then not revealing who it is simply for her own purposes even tho this info could affect many people in this Industry.

Fuck K R I S T E N.

There were some greener pastures when I was starting my business. I'm sure a regular job in my field at that time would have been easier than building a business and using my every waking moment to work on my business and spend a LITTLE time with my children in between when I could during the day. Yes there were greener pastures, but no where near as green the pasture I planted, , watered, weeded, fertilized and continue to grow.

Had I quit and went to what I THOUGHT were green pastures then, I'd never know how green the pastures could have been and would have been had I not quit.

I have not noticed the industry cannibalizing because I own a phone sex company and it's a little different. We are kind of off in our own little bubble so when something affects porn in general, it really doesn't affect what we do.

I think the point was however that these "has beens" are a great wealth of knowledge and still very respected.

Phone sex / cam sites / dating sites will always thrive because it's something you can't download to experience.

When it comes to content / pay sites / tube sites / galleries it is without a doubt every man looking out for himself and a dying business

I don't know what this is all about or what processor is in question.
Like I said, I just think it's BS to make a thread like this as it was obviously done for some sort of personal gain.

For the life of me I can't think of a single pay/members site she owns or runs for her to have processor related issues with any processor.

K R I S T E N 03-23-2015 10:58 AM

Hey Folks --- was out of town over the weekend and back now --- allow me to address the "Fuck Kristen" commentary and you guys thinking (and having reread the verbiage in my initial post I can understand why) that I have anything to gain personally from this ---

FYI: I don't have processing with ANYONE, have NO NEED for it, NEVER HAVE and NEVER WILL need processing so...

(1) NO ONE owes me money - no one owes me anything at the moment - that isn't what this is about - Id have my attorney handle it if someone owed me money right?!

(2) I WILL NOT SAY WHO I AM TALKING ABOUT because (a) it is not up to YOU or ME to say whether or not what they are doing is indeed against any rules or regs (b) visa, master card and a couple of other entities are getting docs this week and will make that decision

(3) BECAUSE I AM SEEING PEOPLE MAKE ASSUMPTIONS (and I suppose I opened that can of worms for you to do so) … have peace of mind that 99% of you DO NOT process with this ISO and probably do not even know who it is.

So yeah, FUCK KRISTEN for posing a question (perhaps too ominously) :1orglaugh

TROLLENSTEIN 03-23-2015 11:47 AM

But your 1st post wasn't posing a question at all. Anyone, even me with basic English, can understand you were alluding to having facts on a Processor doing very shady things. Your second post confirms that your original post wasn't a question by stating "I WILL NOT SAY WHO I AM TALKING ABOUT". So both your posts have simply stated "I know something you don't!", and I'm sure that's nice, but I still don't understand why. :2 cents:

I am pretty sure that this audience (havings its fair share of mouth breathers with neckbeards, which is likely not your thing) wants to FUCK KRISTEN for entirely different reasons.

Also, you probably just forced 40 retards to google the meaning of "ominously." Bravo.

sonofsam 03-23-2015 11:48 AM

See... I told you guys it wasn't just a hypothetical question and she was specifically referring to someone

I'm sure you would go out of your way to get documents to send to mastercard and visa but have no personal vested interest

Do you often collect evidence to turn in on other companies?

Maybe you should work with Adult King on his crusade against torrents/file lockers since you have a passion for crime fighting


I wonder if any idiot here actually believes what you just wrote :1orglaugh

MakeMeGrrrrowl 03-23-2015 12:11 PM

So what was the actual point of the thread? Throw some shit and see what sticks?

Sometimes it's best just to mind your own business. You don't process, you don't need a processor, you wont be putting your user data in their hands. Why do you care? What business is of yours to mind theirs?

So the only people at risk are the people who you have told they should be worried, yet you tell them you're not going to tell them who they should be scared of.

Since you said no one owes you anything "at the moment" leads people to believe that there is actually an issue going on, and that "at the moment" will change your answer of I'm not saying who to....

Spilling the beans.

I definitely question your intentions with this post as I think a lot of people are.

Just bad business.

In other news, there is a performer with HIV who is actively working

That's a CLASSIC graphic?love it! Saved for future use.

I did NOT say it was a "hypothetical" question - reread my first post. And again, allow me to STRESS ONCE AND FOR ALL ---- I HAVE ZERO PERSONAL OR PROFESSIONAL interest in this matter - more so, just an innocent bystander who happened to get looped into this and came here seeking professional insight - and I get a "FUCK KRISTEN" - I suppose that after a good run of 10 years of love on here, Im due for some backlash and to you and The Porn Nerd I salute you for it and send you ---> :kisskiss

You lost me at trying to bash me with the "Adult King" reference - Im not on here enough to know who it is.

Call my genuine sincerity in the matter and my subsequent posts "backpedaling" - my verbiage could have been changed (perhaps should of in retrospect) but it is what it is and I am glad I posted this regardless some of you want to start tearing me and my credibility and/or ETHICS down.

Have a beautiful day!

The Porn Nerd 03-23-2015 12:38 PM

"...an innocent bystander who happened to get looped into this..."

You mean like the unknowing webmasters processing with this shady processer? So we can believe someone who obfuscates and is unwilling to name names then tells us "99%" of us do not do business with this processer? I feel assured now, thank you (not).

So if you "HAVE ZERO PERSONAL OR PROFESSIONAL interest" (caps hers) why post a thread like this? To help others? Zero professional interest. To help yourself? Zero personal interest. So you're a Crusader who gathers docs to send to Visa and MC just....'cause. Then leave your fellow GFY-ers to wonder and worry anyway.

I stand by my earlier comments.

Fair statement. Doubt many are "worrying" but what you write is fair.

And I take responsibility and own my error in posting this without thinking I would be causing "worry" in anyone but because this is NOT a prominent company (you, for instance don't process with them from what I can see on your sites) and really they are not known in this business I do not think this will affect ANYONE who has posted here.

Regardless, just as one cannot legally "OUT" a possibly HIV positive performer without confirming it to be TRUTH, I will not OUT a company that I did not know whether or not their practices were ILLEGAL - I STILL don't know and it isn't for me or for you to decide.

Not coming back here for the rest of the day as I have work to finish before Phoenix but I encourage you, and anyone else who would like to discuss further to email me or message me direct or come say "FUCK KRISTEN" in person at the show. Im very approachable.
