Dear SM,
Thank you for being good to me. Whenever I ask for something nicely, you always obliged.
Much love,

Wow, troll city this morning ... I had an asshole say "you ain't worth (my per minute price)"
I will never let ANY asshole tell me what I'm worth. I gave my room the middle finger for awhile after that comment.
The best ones don't even bore to ask -not that I'm gonna listen, but still-, they ORDER you to change your prices.
Man, seriously ? By the way a middle finger is always a good answer.

The cam trolls are pathetic. In my escorting job, I am worth 100s of euros for a date and noone haggles about that, but on cam I'm not worth a tiny fraction of that. Losers....

No. I was looking at my page from Streamate's site when I was logged out of my cam. I was checking my tags because I have been getting some really mean ones out of the blue lately. {bitch, ugly, bad attitude, chubby but sexy, stupid fuck} I logged in on one browser directly through Streamate and clicked to block the mean tags. I refreshed the other browser that showed my offline cam page and at the bottom of the page were friendfinder pop ups.
Also thank you for telling me about Liz. I don't think I have ever e-mailed with her but just sent one off thanks to your suggestion. I just hope to God she doesn't blow me off because I am almost a full month behind since this started happening. The first week it happened I thought maybe it was just one of those slow weeks. Then midway into the 2nd week is when I realized something was wrong and started contacting "support" to no avail. This has been going on for almost 4 weeks. The only thing I got out of it was the confirmation that my sudden rash of 1 star ratings came from 1 very nasty person.
Sorry to pop into the conversation ladies, I am a fellow coworker. Just wanted to say that someone tagged me as "chubby but sexy" too. I've heard other models saying they got the same tag, this guy has a serious problem, I want to k ow who he is and burn him like they did to the witches.
Btw, thanks for posting so often here, it's a really big help, I thought I was the only one that had her traffic going down.

Seems like all everybody wants on SM today is to either be my best friend and talk about life in free chat, or try and talk me into a roleplay which pretty much revolves around anything against the site's terms of use ("So, you'll be an underaged prostitute, but I won't pay you - I'll rape you instead. Exclusive?").

Ok just a heads up, and this is the first time it's ever happened to me but I did a gold show and after I checked my earnings, i.e waited for the GS $ to go into my account I checked my profile from the site not my model link and there I was in freechat in the middle of my show! so I had what looks like a 10 minute fricking lag! No wonder the guys in the show were bitching they prob just had me sitting as I do in freechat.
Keep an eye on your feeds ladies.

WOW. Free chat annoys me too sometimes, but if y'all ever get to a point where you're in public chat ranting about how you hate men and screaming at people (like this girl I'm watching right now), it's time to log off and work on clips or something.....oh, shit.....
VictoriaChaos

At some point, you can't fake a smile anymore.
It's when you don't admit that to yourself is when you have a problem.
Free chat sucks, yes but I do suppress my emotions about it unless things start getting really bad.
If I get a few people in an hour who write out tips, I will burst into a bit of laughter and just stare at the camera
"Alright guys, I'm not fucking stupid but if you wanna play games, we can play games." I start ranting...It sometimes gets bad.
If I start just banning everyone who says something stupid, I log off.
I try but gawd, those written in tips just drive me to a whole new level of bitch.

If you have a computer not good enuf to run the encoder and u have it on can it make a dig delay on cam feed? Last night i was using the encoder and i had MAD traffic but it was just a wall of a lot of coming and going seeing ppl leave in and out at the same time i see someone talking to me as soon as i say hi they leave EVERY TIME so im thinking that where the "timing" is on my delay if there is one. Sometime i see ppl come in on my chat log before i see them pop up in my users in room list on the chat of my chat screen.

ugh..... So, I've heard a lot of good things about Omega 3 fish oil supplements... Supposed to be good for your joints, heart, and brain... SO I bought some, and I took one this morning, and now I can't stop burping. To make matters worse, every burp fills my mouth with the nastiest rancid fish taste EVER. This is just AWFUL. I don't see any way I can cam through this... NO MORE FISH OIL FOR ME!!!

The phone feature hasn't worked correctly in a LONG time. I keep having to call them and block my #. I've hardly been working bec/ of school, so my placement was already getting destroyed, but now that everyone can use HD, I think it really makes it hard to get to the top even more so bec/ it's one more thing that everyone has and doesn't weed those of us out that had the encoder before. The encoder is worthless now right? It was such a pain, I'm actually glad to see it out of the picture now anyway... Never could figure out where to put my windows.. I feel like signing up for a new site or two, but the contracts just get me so often... I'm not giving up all my rights, and chaturbate won't allow any drinking? I don't drink all the time, but if I get on at night or in the mood in the afternoon, we're independent and should be able to do what we want as long as we still keep it cool.

I think this is really hurting the models.. I know my clients prefer exclusive w/ phone. They won't do shows lately bec/ they don't want gold shows or private.. they want phone and the phone feature hasn't worked in a while.. it really effects our money. Please please please get it fixed. I've emailed you guys several times in the last month about it.. and have made several hundred less last month, and I think it has a lot to do w/ it..

My phone feature hasn't worked in months, when I last emailed them they said they were having issues but when it was sorted they would reset mine, they never did so if guys ask me for phone in exc I let them buy my number once we get there, the price I charge is probably less than it would cost them to use the system. I know we are not allowed outside contact etc, but jeeze if SM can't get their act together what's a girl supposed to do?

I hate that racism gets to me so much.
I just let it roll off my back when someone enters my room and demands stuff or is rude.
But come into my mother fucking chat and call me names I wouldn't call my worst enemy.
I have thick skin but I will never ever be able to tolerate someone attacking my race.
It's disgusting and truly shows how insecure people are about themselves.
Oh well, so much for a good morning.

Don't know if you've seen the Hitler remark I got in free chat last week, but it was enough for me to stay off for a few days after.
It felt incredibly weird. As a Jewish person living in Israel, I obviously never encounter racism directed towards me (on the other hand, there are many Russian and Ethiopian immigrants, and the racism towards them is constantly on the rise). Whenever I visit my partner, who lives in Europe (we're in a LDR and see each other for 2-3 months at a time, twice a year), he tells me I can't speak in Hebrew to him on the street and that I better not wear anything with something in Hebrew on it, but that's about it, and he's quite paranoid to begin with.
And then suddenly that absolutely racist, Neo-Nazi, violent comment in my own room... it was a shocker.
I agree with you that it's much worse than any other remark and/or demand or rude behaviour.

I hate that racism gets to me so much.
I hate that you and other girls have to deal with it so much too. :(
It makes me embarrassed to be Caucasian. I honestly did not understand how much crap that non-Caucasians women had to deal with before I became a camgirl.
It is one of the many dark parts of humanity that camming has opened my eyes to.
For what it is worth, I am truly sorry. I have a hard enough time personally enduring the abuse that comes with camming that is attached to being a women. I can't even imagine the double-whammy of having to deal with both being a women and my race too.
Honestly, I think it would break me.
I truly admire you. You are a stronger women than I am.

OT for the current line of conversation, but I want to give a quick shoutout to Liz. Emailing support is nightmarish for us most of the time. They don't seem to really read our emails and give canned responses that usually don't even have anything to do with our issue. Liz really cares. She emails back super fast, and is incredibly helpful. I probably would have quit and gone back to stripping if it weren't for her.
Liz, if you're reading this, thank you!!! From the bottom of my heart, thank you for all that you do for us camgirls. :)

On another note, Hitler's dead body aside... I'm taking a few days off, again. I'm about to get my period and I basically can't bring myself to do anything other than eat (and I don't mean just "eat". I mean EAT, capital letters and all), watch TV and skim through old issues of the New Yorker.
I really don't feel like camming, unless someone's willing to pay $7 a minute to see me doing all of the above while wearing a huge gray sweatshirt.
Gotta find a guy with such a fetish.

But you can't really tell who is Jewish just by looking at them. And a lot of people who "look Jewish" often aren't Jewish. I get asked if I'm Jewish all the time, but I'm not.

I'm asked all the time too, especially on cam. ... along with other races, lol. I'm a mutt ... but I haven't dealt with any racism on cam. If I did, I would just ignore/silently ban.
Yeah, me and you have the look where we could easily pass for latina, middle eastern (including jewish and persian), arab/north african, or just plain white. We've both been asked if we're those many times. Its really hard to tell someone's real race just by looking at them.

I'm so bummed! I ran the encoder for the first time like a week ago and I had back to back shows, I made decent money quickly because I did so many privates. Usually I make my money off of fewer longer shows rather than a bunch of short ones. You might think fewer, longer shows is better but a) I find them emotionally draining and b) it takes more time for me to make $$$. I was like 'goddamn I'm only using the encoder from now on!' but the next day my traffic was just like it always used to be. I discovered the next day that I ran the encoder wrong so that day I corrected it, logged on and again had a bunch of privates. Thought I was back in bidness but that was the last day I had consistent privates. Every day since then has been like it used to be for me. I am almost wondering; do they actually bump up your placement the first time you use the encoder just so you will be encouraged to keep using it?? Is that too cray of a conspiracy?

Are you able to check your placement.I check my placement and feed all the time just to make sure everything is working on my end.Sometimes you might be online but the room might not be able to load for the customers.I always keep on eye whats going on.Especially if im having a super slow day.

@Genoveve - it isn't necessarily related to the encoder. It's just the nature of the beast. I might bank one day, getting a lot of long exclusives, and literally the very next day I'd be sitting in free chat for almost my entire shift, trying to keep my cool.
My placement doesn't change (I never log on during the prime-time of SM, cause it just doesn't work for me. At the times I log on, I'm usually in the middle of the 1st page) and my feed is fine.
I know it can be extremely discouraging; you might find yourself asking "What am I doing wrong?". Sometimes I even ask myself silly questions such as, "Am I ugly today? But how is that even possible? Was I pretty only yesterday?", questions that in retrospect make me laugh because, really, it's just nonsense.
As I said, it's just the nature of the beast. Some ladies are lucky and are able to keep their earnings pretty much constant and stable every single day.
That's not the case for me. But whenever I have a slow day, I do my best to remember the days in which I made a lot of money.
