If you're using a PC and encoder 3.1, try switching to encoder 3.2. SM recommends 3.1 for PCs but I was having similar problems earlier in the year and found that changing to 3.2 seemed to fix them. SM has a link for downloading it on the right side of the page here: http://www.streamatemodels.com/HD/


I am experiencing the exact same crap.
Lost favorites <-- I was going to say something to them but choose my battles bc I am in contact weekly over something ridiculous.

One moment I am seen on the page I am to be on and the next Im still in free BUT I have seen myself disappear for a lengthy amount of time. I am hesitant about logging off. I log off, log on and back to my one of my spots. I do watch the pages but look for myself. (I see other models online and notice placement "hey what up" , never go say hi lol ) Most of them are in the spots they are suppose to be or close.

I wonder the same, we cant help but to wonder "what did she do to skyrocket" but whatever. I see girls that have gone the extra mile and I dont see the result we should see.
I said this somewhere before, SM has given me a whole new level of patience, a category of its own.

TY got the heads up about members not knowing we are online, I will send out a few mass emails. A few nightly regs, long prvs, have suddenly tanked. :/

Pippi_Hicks
07-28-2013, 12:09 PM
Nothing significant, no. I see a very slight increase but that's it.



Has anyone actually seen a significant increase in placement by using widescreen?

When I look at page one I see the same models in the same general spots. I myself am in the exact same general placement still using standard...

Just wondering if it's even worth upgrading my pc... right now I can't use the widescreen settings and split cam without losing serious quality because the stream is so large... if that makes sense.

A newbie question about SM: I have a couple of guys who message me or chat me their skype usernames / email addresses / phone numbers. I have not sent them any of my information, but can I get banned for customers sending me THEIR info which I have no control over? Can/does SM check your private messages for this stuff, or mostly just your chat box in your room?

VictoriaChaos
07-28-2013, 12:36 PM
^If they message you and you haven't said anything back or asked for that information, your not doing anything wrong.

Or I could be wrong, maybe don't listen to me. . .

The answer: Maybe

I know, it sucks as an answer. Streamate isn't completely consistent with enforcing its own rules. What I always do when anyone sends me their info is to remind them that outside contact is against my contract with Streamate Limited to cover my ass in case Streamate is checking my messages. I figure better safe then sorry.

I have heard stories of girls getting suspended from Streamate from guys sending them their information and the model not discouraging it.

I have couple of questions here.

I've emailed to cams twice about deleting my account (the link that they have under "Customer Service Department"), they have responded that my account was deleted, but it wasn't!! I stil can login and broadcast, and my account is fully accessible in models directory. So, how to delete my account?

Another question, is there a way to delete "recorded shows"?

Thanks

I understand to dl the 3.2
but which settings should I use?

I believe that I'm using the recommended high settings for PCs. I'll try to confirm that later today and also compare my file to the MAC settings to see if there's any difference. I switched to 3.2 before the whole widescreen mess happened but I know I downloaded the new high settings file.

Also I would like to avoid banning these guys because both have bought shows from me and tip me regularly.

I use Windows 8, I've never had a problem with the encoder. My laptop has an Intel i5 if that helps, and I run widescreen.

Where do we find the medium quality or low quality settings for the encoder if trying to use widescreen? I am lagging and pixelated so bad

That's what I was wondering too. I thought you could only use medium settings without widescreen but not sure.

PC
If your processor is version i5, i7 or equivalent (AMD, etc.) download the Streamate-High (Recommended) Quality file (PC 16x9).
If you have trouble running the Recommended Quality file settings, try using the Streamate-Medium Quality file (PC 16x9) instead.
If you have trouble running the Medium Quality file settings, try using the Streamate-Lower Quality file (PC 16x9) instead.
If there is insufficient light, the quality of your stream will be affected. (See the lighting tutorial for tips.)

like SM would actually do this ;)
I do it, all my emails like this seem to come off as coming from support and NOT me. Get me out of being the middle man and if they want to contact support about it, support will tell them the exact same thing.
They need to have a list of copy and paste emails so we do not come off as the bad guys, sime of the members truly do not understand

My favorites are in free chat

Has anyone actually seen a significant increase in placement by using widescreen?

When I look at page one I see the same models in the same general spots. I myself am in the exact same general placement still using standard...

Just wondering if it's even worth upgrading my pc... right now I can't use the widescreen settings and split cam without losing serious quality because the stream is so large... if that makes sense.
Lol....I was just about to post the following before I saw your post "I would just like to say that really, really, I mean reeeeeeeeeeeally hate widescreen. I'm thinking of going back to the old settings until or unless I see my placement take a dive."

I was model watching last night and noticed that some models were still using the old settings and still had great placement. I've only been using WS for a couple of weeks but I hate, hate, haaaaaaaaaaaate it. I'm going back to the old settings. I like being able to see my whole body(well at least knees to head) in the camera instead of just my head. I like not having to be a contortionist to fit my body into the camera frame. I like not having to yell at the camera because it so close instead of it being so far back because of ws. Fuck You WS I am so over you!

*****Rant over****

Ah ha.
Well once again, many thanks JAC.
My bad for thinking SM was fair.

I don't blame you for thinking SM was fair. When I was started out as a camgirl I believed the exact same thing.

Wow, that was a rude awakening as time went by!

That being said, Streamate is a lot more fair then a lot of other sites. At least we don't have to deal with the whole chargeback issue.

I sent 2 people the following message: Hi, I'm sorry but I looked over the sites rules and NO outside contact is allowed on this website and I will not be contacting you through email, you can always come see me on cam here or send me messages via streamate's message system! Sorry hun

Thanks,
Mynxii"

Ahhh, I am so worried :( I just started making good money and I don't want to lose it...

Also I would like to avoid banning these guys because both have bought shows from me and tip me regularly.

Don't be worried, pussycat.

As long as you covered your ass by discouraging the outside contact, you should be good.

Is anyone else having placement issues? All of a sudden this week I've been pushed back an entire page...even in my normal time slot. Do I just suck that bad?

Did you get your placement back?

I am freaking freaking out. I went from months and months and months of great placement ALL the way to bottom of page 7. I cannot support myself like this and I am about to break down in tears. I have no idea what changed. Everything was fine week before last and then all of the sudden last week was page 3 and now this morning page 7!
What is happening, I feel like my cam career is over, but how the hell am I going to pay all of these bills???? Someone please hug me

I have tried every which way to adjust the encoder and even tried HS widescreen. :-( Any ideas ladies?

^^**HUGS** Hey hon, don't freak out just yet. I can't even find myself on the site. I think SM is still messing with it. I'd tell you how pathetically I did this morning, but I know SM reads this thread, so I can't really go into details. I will tell you that I've had an unexplained drop in placement that isn't entirely fixed by streaming in Widescreen. Just hang in there a little while. Also, try streaming for 15 min or so then stopping your stream & starting it again. Stream for another 15 min. See if that helps your placement at all. Sometimes I think there are bugs that just need to work themselves out.

I will say that I am being quickly surpassed by people who have NO business being ahead of me in placement. There's this one chick who's been camming as long as I have, who NEVER ever makes money (she doesn't try, she just sits there chatting & smoking bowls) and she's now ahead of me. Makes ZERO sense and it's very frustrating. But I'm just trying to hang in there like everyone else. SM loves to throw us into chaos. The minute we've all recovered from the last fuckery, they fuck it up again.

Thank you so much for your reply, I am going to pull myself together. It doesn't make any sense that I was on 1st page and then some NASTY chick with only 4 stars from another country who can't speak English is rows ahead of me. Thank you for your reply as it gives me hope to hang in there. ( I have only received a 4 star in 8 months)
And you are on to something starting and stopping the feed, cuz I am on page 1 when I log on then disappear after a few min. I have to STOP looking at my placement because I know with even 5 guys I can still make money, luckily I have a decent amount of followers.... ugh Thank you for the hugs, I really needed that.

Even though I have only been camming for a few months now, the good regulars I build up when I started now seem to be MIA.

One of them told me SM changed its CC processor that would require him to contact his financial institutions to get them to approve transactions. He said, "I don't have the time (and part of me doesn't want to) do that." I don't blame him, that sounds like a royal PITA.

Please say this is not so. :(

I have to right specs for the recommended stream, direct connection, 10 upload. also not to mention my husband constantly updates my custom pc. But when I stream on the recommended widescreen settings I get random disconnects. So I switched to medium. Had like 20+ dudes in my room before. now I get like 5. WTF???? So my placement took an immediate dive.


I feel like SM is fucking me in the ass or trolling me hard. STAUP IT!

Actually, several of my regs have been having billing issues. A couple said their goodbyes and others are trying to get it worked out that I know of. Hang in there miss!

Thank you!


I use Windows 8, I've never had a problem with the encoder. My laptop has an Intel i5 if that helps, and I run widescreen.

Thanks everyone for the words of encouragement. I guess I am just panicking right now because it seems whenever I get into something good it's always right before it goes kaput. So when I hear about SM traffic being slow or if I look at its alexa info I get scared that the party's over.

But the time I spend ruminating about my future in this industry needs to be spend camming instead. At one point I was doing 7-8 hours a day but now am down to 5, so that probably has something to do with my earnings being down. Duh.

Sorry for more stupid questions, but -- going along with what I had troubles with earlier (people sending me their contact info) what if people send me messages that mention my amazon wishlist?

Big question: Does Streamate allow models to have amazon wishlists if we do not ever link to them on SM?

I like that the guy is purchasing me a gift, but it's not a substitute for payment in any way, he is just being nice/spoiling me/whatever. Should I reply to this message or just ignore it? If I should reply, should I reprimand him so as not to anger the SM gods? lol I really don't want to do that, but... don't want to lose my account either :-\

I considered emailing support and asking them how they feel, but I don't want to rat myself out and then get banned just for a misunderstanding.

To those that are seeing huge drop in placement..... When you find yourself in the listings, are your audio and HD icons showing above your profile pic?

I had a period of time where SM kept either dropping my audio icon or my HD icon, meaning the site was not properly detecting my HD or audio, and it was SOOOO frustrating because clearly I was using both... but it would drop me back several pages when it happened.

I never found a "fix" for it, I just had to painfully wait it out and it managed to fix by itself.

I see this happen a lot tho, I'll randomly notice a higher placed model several rows down or on a different page and usually they do not have either the HD or audio icons at the moment.
