Aside from still hating widescreen, I'm actually really happy with Streamate this week so far. Like.... super happy. I've only done a handful of gold shows and I've been busy with privates and lots of exclusives!

I used to HAAAAATE day time but I think I have finally found my sweet spot shift for day time, thankfully! I like being able to split my shift. Working only nights was getting hard on me. It's all about playing around and testing out different times of the day. You can't go off of one day either. What I did was go by week... one week I tried the same day time hours for the whole week, next week I tried a different set of hours, etc. until I found a shift that was consistently good for me. Same thing I did for my night shift too. You just have to experiment!

Or does everyone who is now doing widescreen notice that it makes you look, um really wide?

Stupid lagging cost me a long exclusive! Customer was on the phone and the the lagging was so bad on cam that it ended up getting super awkward because what he was seeing was like 90 seconds behind what I was saying. He was sweet about it and said he'd try to find me gain another time. Dammit, so frustrating!

It shouldn't be making you look wide.... are you sure you have all the settings right? You might also have to look at your webcam settings to make sure it's outputting the same resolution that SM wants you to use.

JAC, I just saw a woman in wide screen, her settings were definitely wrong cause she looked way too wide to be normal, i mean unreal wide. Best is to play with the settings cause normally it should not make us look wider just show more of the room; there is also a tick box in encoder that needs to be ticked: 'maintain aspect ratio', i think it has to do with it.

I think when you start camming on SM, your placement moves a lot, probably the system needs some time to detect correctly your ratings, tech, earnings..etc. I also think when you're just starting out you are placed lower as you would be considering your tech and you get a "real" placement after a couple of days.

Yep, as well as other girls perhaps with higher placement are logging on after you. I would imagne there are X number of models logging on and of every second and thats got to effect placements of others.

I have an preset text on the free users window and I click it every now and then. It says something like "Upgrade your account if you would like to chat with me!" I have had a couple guys recently tell me they signed up because they were free users first.

I got my first insult on SM today. I don't know why but I feel it's coming from another model. He/she/shim said "I feel sorry for your lips, girl". I'm not sure what that means but I have fabulous lips. One of the few things on me that are actually natural, lol.

I did the same thing. Luckily I found the old encoder settings. Hopefully the site will get back to normal soon enough. I don't care about placement. I was doing fine enough without it. Not great, but fine enough.

Can you tell me how you found the old encoder settings? Like a dummy, I deleted the old encoder settings, thinking the widescreen format would be all peachy. But guess not, I just started banking and now I'm only making $30 in 3 hrs. GaH! So frustrating. Thanks if you can let me know.

Grrr. I asked SM to give me higher price options, so I can go higher when I want to. They got back to me and did it but now my higher price options have disappeared and the highest I have is what I'm currently using - 6.99. Why on earth can they not just leave the options?! Oh well, it just means that I'll be emailing them again sooner than I would have been.

I feel like I'm DONE trying to cater to the GS crowd. I never hit my goals, even if it's just $1, they bitch about the price, and if I go ahead and do the show anyway, there's always some dumbass going "Put something in your ass!" when the GS show description CLEARLY says "Rubbing lotion on boobs." WHERE in there did I EVER say I was going to be doing anything other than showing my breasts?? WHERE??? Like, I popped into another girl's room what was in a GS countdown to see if maybe, just maybe, they had to click on something to see the show description, which is too much work for these guys, but NO... The show desc is in big bold letters right across the top..

Fuck these cheapass GS beggars. If they want be to put something in my ass, they can buy a block like everyone else has to.

I didn't delete anything. I just closed the encoder, then opened it again, then opened the settings in it again. I had to do this twice and it somehow stopped glitching after that. I really don't know what was up with that, and I have no idea if it's something the customers would even see or not. If you still have trouble you can PM me and I might be able to help you figure out what's wrong. I've fought with it so much lately that I might have some things you can try.

Thanks so much i got it figured out lol Thanks to my BF urghhh... I need to figure it out on my own but i have such low tollerance for it.... : /

Just ignore the beggars once you are in the show. Or, I'll say I only take requests from top tippers over $20. Thankfully, they can't rate you, so whatevs.

Exactly. Freeloaders and cheapasses are always gonna complain. Hell, you could even set a Gold Show topic of $1 for 30 minutes of pussy-fucking/multiple squirting, and there would still be some fucktard saying "Make it a one hour show, bb, and it's a deal." *rolls eyes*

SM puts me in a bad mood lately. Like I kinda actually dread getting on. It's like no matter what I do I'm just not getting a very attractive crowd to make my time spent on there worth it. Beggars, freeloaders, rude asses, very little quality paying traffic. I've been holding on in hopes that the guys who DO spend become regulars and someday I'll have enough of them to make spending time on there worth it, but I dunno. The site just isn't what it was anymore when I loved it and seems to be becoming worse, some bargain bin bottom of the barrel cheap sex site. No thanks. Part of me quit the site, but I think first I'll just reduce my hours there to just a couple a day or weekends only and see where my sanity is after that.

Yesterday I had quite a few long privates and exclusives, and almost all of them ended with the guy getting kicked out of the room at a certain point (I know because they sent me a PM afterwards). And not only that: I noticed that many times in free chat, guys who seem genuinely nice log off after asking me how I'm doing/trying to start a conversation. Could it be that they get kicked out of free chat, too? Either way, it's really, really frustrating.

When I'm streaming using widescreen sometimes my fps is all over the place. It will sit consistent at like 20-24fps for a while then all of a sudden it will be all over like even as low as 9fps! Then of course I lag and people complain. It's so random though, I don't know how to fix it. If its not going lower than like 12fps I will just stay on and it usually evens out again but last night I just had to give up and log off.

This never did this before with the old settings. I would stay consistent up to even 29fps.

Any ideas on what I can do about this? :(

Okay, is it just me....

Or does everyone who is now doing widescreen notice that it makes you look, um really wide?

I feel like I am in a funhouse mirror. I look like I am 15 pounds heavier. :(

I peeked in your room yesterday and you do look out of proportion. Something in your webcam or encoder settings might not be correct....? :(

Grrr. I asked SM to give me higher price options, so I can go higher when I want to. They got back to me and did it but now my higher price options have disappeared and the highest I have is what I'm currently using - 6.99. Why on earth can they not just leave the options?! Oh well, it just means that I'll be emailing them again sooner than I would have been.

This kept happening to me, I would ask them to raise it and then if I lowered it again below that the higher options would disappear. After emailing them several times to raise it back someone finally said they raised them permanently for me. You might have to ask them to raise them "permanently" or something...?

thats what i did even tho my rates arent 7.99 i had to email them like 2-3 times a few months ago i would ask to have it like that. i would email them ask for a PERMANENT MAX of 7.99 they said that my rates were now set to 7.99 i lower it everything up to 7.99 was gone i emailed them again after a few times i finally had it stick.

Me too. It wasn't hard to see this coming. Giving discounts on cam shows is not a smart idea.



^^^ I predicted this will happen when they introduced Gold Shows and many times after, i am soo sad to see i was right....

UNBELIEVABLY slow. It almost feels as if all of the members going into my room are secretly conspiring against me, to test my limits.

I got so fed up I went off on my room today. I have never done that in 3 years but they pulled my last straw. A few of my regs showed up just after. I think they saw my little rant.lol

In a way I am glad you did it. You probably been holding it in for so long. Whenever I am working, I always put 'Freeloaders/time wasters will get banned' as my topic and I do follow through with them. I have wiped and banned my whole room and reported them all as 12 year olds with daddy credit cards. I know I'm evil and sinful but I have to do my duty.

I don't just ban. After I banned, I always report them to SM as minors with daddy credit cards!
