It's picked up a bit for me lately which is great! Unfortunately, I make most of my money in gold shows but anytime I try to do one it freezes during the countdown. Yesterday, I got over halfway and started the show and as soon as it started, my computer like crashed!
I've never had this problem with gold shows before so I have no idea what's happening!

So just saw the roll-over preview room thing.
I'm on the fence.
Totally went back and thought about what I said.
I take it back, it's not gonna prevent what I thought.

So today I bought an expensive i7, 8 RAM laptop.
Went back home and found out that the Wi-Fi works absolutely horrible with it and my stream looks like a nightmare.
I wanna quit life. :(

That SUCKS Nina! What so you think you'll do? I know in Israel it's almost IMPOSSIBLE to get a refund or do an exchange!

is there not a way to hook up to the ethernet cord? I have a 50 ft and a 12 ft.
High processors do require good stable internet connection.
Dont say "quit life" :'( most of us have struggled finding what works. Hugs, you will be fine, just need to work out the kinks.

Thanks for the support. <3
There isn't really an option for a cable, because the rauter's in my sister's room. I don't know why my parents insist that it stays there. They have this kind of "don't-fix-what's-not-broken" mentality, so they refuse to move it from there. I told them I'll just buy my own router, and they went crazy on me because someone told them it interrupts with the other router.
Yeah, the perils and disasters of still living at home... pretty bad.
I'm just super, super, super stressed because I counted on SM to pay my parents the money for the new laptop every month. I mean, I DO have enough for a couple of months, but I defintely need more.
I'm not kidding when I say I'm on the verge of a panic-attack. Is it really true that it's impossible having two routers function properly at the same house?

Search for 'powerline adapters' - http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2398207,00.asp gives more information - it would route your internet connection via the electricity lines.

I have a 50ft ethernet cable running from my living room to my bedroom, because they couldn't hook it up in here. I have wifi and a wired connection. If you really can't do that, maybe you can reason with your sister and get her to switch rooms. Somehow?

That is how the powerline adapters work - no need for 50ft cables... just shorter ones as in the image. :)

Yes, just try to switch the rooms. Ethernet cable is much better when streaming. One of the main reasons I don't wanna buy some of the Ultrabooks which otherwise I like very much, is that they don't have a LAN port, most of them actually. What is the laptop you bought?
Nina_Den
07-06-2013, 03:51 PM
Thanks, guys. I think first of all, tomorrow I'm gonna sneak into my sister's room when she's away and see how my stream even looks like when I'm hardwired (perhaps there's no difference? Even though I doubt it). Then I'm gonna see what I could possibly do. There's no way to switch the rooms, she'll just laugh at me and tell me to fuck off (yeah, sad but true). So, yes, first I'll do that.
There must be a solution. I can't let my stress and anxiety now take over me. I won't.
Alex, that's (http://newnotebookspecifications.com/samsung-np510r5e-a02ub-premium-multimedia-laptop-with-core-i7-3537u.html) the laptop I got.

Metal body laptops can have issues with wifi. Try a wifi usb dongle (if you have one). My husband has a Dell which had that issue.
Marina Starr
07-06-2013, 04:38 PM
Nina-I am a bit confused because your internet connection is the same. You got a better laptop yet your stream is worse? That's so odd.
Nina_Den
07-06-2013, 04:51 PM
GlitteryGoddess - plugging in a dongle was actually the first thing I did. Still didn't help.
Marina - yes, it -is- weird. The signal strength with the new laptop is alternating between 3-4 lines every few seconds (which means it's very unstable. With the desktop, however shitty it was, the signal strength stayed stable), and when I go to the Speakeasy website to take the speedtest, the results are all over the place; one minute my download speed would be at 1.50, then it jumps up to 30. The upload speed stays pretty much the same, but the point is that it's very unstable.
I really, really can't wait to try going hardwired in my sister's room tomorrow to test the quality of my stream. Does anybody know if I'll have to manually configure something on the laptop when I do it, or could I just plug the router's cable into my laptop, enter the password and that's it like with wireless?
SexyAleks
07-06-2013, 05:31 PM
I think you just plug the cable into the LAN port and disconnect from the Wifi, so it won't choose the wireless network instead.

I really really just don't understand the chicks fuck themselves in free chat? Can someone explain it to me? I don't tell on them or anything, but man... I saw one chick who was on the first page tonight repeatedly panty stuffing and fucking her dildo doing her GS countdown. I guess that's her hustle.... She never hit goal though.

I deicded to just ignore my parents and do the whole transferring the router from my sister's room thing myself. I was super-nervous and giddy cause I'm not a technical person and I knew that if I fuck things up and everybody ends up not having Internert, I'm in big trouble.
Then I had to call my ISP (which was also some kind of a mission, cause I've social anxiety and the thing which I dread the most is phone calls) cause I didn't know how to configure the wireless in my sister's soom. It took a while, but eventually it worked. ^^
So I'm hoping things would work great in a few hours. Thanks for calming my hysteric-self yesterday, everybody.

No, no - I told them right away when I finished everything and triple-checked everything's working. I knew that if I just do it, take care of everything and they see the world didn't end, they'll be absolutely fine with it. They're just hysteric (well, I should've gotten it from somewhere, after all...).

So SM was my first model site and I did a show over the weekend w/ my friend who is a VERY popular SM girl- So now if i go on my account I will still be on the last page probably because I haven't gone on my account in a month. My question is I am not signed up with SM directly; I am through a studio- Streamline to be exact. Do you think they would let me cancel my account and I could sign w/ her since she goes through a girl who actually helps people and since we kicked ass over the weekend and I will get a new model tag I probably will drop MFC since my cam-score is slowly dropping and stick w/ SM. I wasn't sure how exactly it worked and if I cancelled my account if I would have issues signing back up?

If they are in the first spot doing a gold show and they wouldn't normally be placed there, that means they are doing a TV gold show.
SarahTime
07-07-2013, 10:55 AM
I can't imagine a TV producer allowing anal sex in a gold show countdown.
I noticed placement has been a bit weird the past couple days too. They're probably mucking around with the site.
I'm curious if they were showing the actual penetration or just like you knew what was happening without explicitly seeing it?
There is a couple who does tv shows and she is ALWAYS sucking him off during the countdown and sometimes riding him, you can tell what they are doing but can't actually see the penetration.
Which is kinda funny because I've never seen them come close to any goal they have had up. Gee...wonder why.

So, as if it wasn't enough that this day sucks ($30 in 3 hours), I just got my very first 1-star rating, totally out of the blue. Where did it even come from? I had 2 guys in this private, and none of them complained. Shit. :'(
How much does it influence my overall rating? I messaged support right away asking for it to ger removed, but as far as I know, they'll only remove it if there's a "reson". In my case, I honestly don't know what went wrong.
SadieTaylor
07-07-2013, 12:27 PM
They were straight up covered in oil dildo-ing each others asses and tossing salads :/ Placement was really messed up last night. I am usually middle to bottom of the first page and ended up in the 3rd row while amazing top models were in the middle of page. And then one top models profile picture was that of a different model. There was some strange stuff last night. So I definitely think it was off. I don't think they were supposed to be in that spot. The guys in the chat were saying what are these girls on. But then I got really sad because they were foreign girls in a studio and then someone started yelling at them. I also saw a model on the first page whose baby was off camera crying non stop and she just kept looking over at it and sighing ignoring it. Then she turned the tv on to mute out the sound I think. It really broke my heart. I had other girls in the chat see it too last night. Very strange night.

Yeah I think I remember the model, if not I can scroll back in chat to see the link. I didn't report it because I didn't think she was breaking any rules? It was sooo disgusting and heart breaking. I couldn't believe the guys didn't tell her anything.

Nina, you can see who voted you 1 star. Just go to My earnings, click on the Details and then click on the name of every customer that was in your private/exclusive. When you click on one guy's name it will open the guy's profile page that has 4 tabs. Click on the 3rd tab called Sessions and you ca see there how much $ he spent in the private, if he rated you or leaved a Comment.

Thanks, Des. I really hope support would be willing to delete it. It bothers me.
I have another question: I had one costumer telling me today that he couldn't go exclusive with me, that only the premium chat option showed up for him. I believed him because he sounded genuine. Could it be?

07-07-2013, 03:26 PM
I thin he might have been a new customer, after he goes Group Prvt. then he get's the exclusive button. Kind of like a test, to make sure he will not blow all his money in 1 show, then try to charge back.
Opps, to Nina_den.

Yes, in order for the exclusive option to show up, the member has to have tipped a model 5 Gold, or has to have taken a model premium. After he's done one of those things for the first time, the exclusive option will then be available for him. In addition to that, any model he's tipped 5 Gold (or has taken premium) will now see the number 1 by his name.

My best advice would be to work ur butt off as the "new girl" it fades after awhile, but by that time....u will have a customer base backing u .

I have heard of checks being short. I have heard of earnings missing , I swear one girl usually screencaps every night when logging off, something to this tune bc it happened with her.
I have had one gold show disappear but Liz found it and submitted, it basically never showed up.
Sucks. I'm sorry, hopefully you are not worried and will come back with a good report.

I had my first check lost in the mail. I am waiting until I can have it reissued without having to pay the fee. Has anyone else had a Streamate check get lost in the mail? I did contact Streamate about cancelling the check in case it had been stolen, they told me that in order for them to cancel the check they issued me I would have to pay the fee (I think it is $25.00). That seemed sketchy to me but I guess if the check was stolen and someone cashed it it's no big deal for Streamate because I am the one who is out a pay check O_o ? I just thought they would be willing to do a little more than that. Sticking me with a $25.00 fee just to cancel the check is something I have never heard of before.
Maybe I just got a hold of a bad representative like when I asked for the break button the first time and they told me they only gave that to random girls and I wasn't one of the random girls they were going to give it to.

And then one top models profile picture was that of a different model. There was some strange stuff last night. So I definitely think it was off. I don't think they were supposed to be in that spot.
Over the past couple days I've noticed the same thing, placement messed up for girls who were normally top row, and lower page models were on line one. While I was working I kept tabs on where I was appearing, or not appearing. First I was up on a top row, then when I kept refreshing the page I wasn't appearing anywhere at all!
Tonight I saw (edit), who is always on the top row or in a show. Refreshed the public home page and she disappeared. I got curious and typed her name into the search box -- there she was, sitting & chatting in free chat, but she wasn't anywhere to be seen on the home page AND she was not in a show!
Decided to screen shot what I was seeing. She was in free chat for quite some time, but I imagine it was because she wasn't showing up on the home page. Only people who had her as a favorite would know she was on. I must have refreshed 5 times and only once did (edit) appear on the home page again during about 5 minutes. I used the left side icon to click into her room and repeatedly saw her in free chat. After all that lag time she was finally taken private, but as soon as that show was done she logged off. Not surprising, since she wasn't getting any traffic. While I felt awful she was going through this, it was comforting to know the whole system is fucked up. I'm not the only one completely missing from the home page.
I've reported all this and was told they'll check the servers. May I suggest that if you see this bad or missing placement happening like this that you contact Liz or Shawn and report it, so they can track down and fix the problem.
Nina_Den
07-08-2013, 03:27 AM
^ It happens to me all of the time. I mean, all of a sudden not appearing on the homepage at all for a couple of minutes, and only getting traffic from people which I recognize the names of already (meaning they probably have me listed as a favorite).
