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.
You can have an amazon wishlist, but you CANNOT give the info out to guys even if they ask.
Whenever a guy asks me thru a SM message if I have a wishlist, I just ignore them. If they ask in my chat room I tell them "yes but I cannot give you the details because it's against the rules".

Well today took a quick turn for the worse. :( It started off just fine this morning, but then I wasn't showing up on the homepage for a while, and once I did show back up I'm pretty sure not many people could see me. That or there were only about 10 people on the site. UGH. So ready for these glitches to stop!!!

It was a very busy day for me today and none of the custies said anything about my video freezing except for the last one. We were doing cam to cam. Could it be because his connection can't keep up and it's being reflected on my end? I didn't use the Encoder, just my built-in cam.

Has anyone else had issues with their audio? My stream looks fine when I check it, but all the guys I ask say they can't hear me. Anyone have any ideas how to fix this? I'm going to play around with the encoder today and see if that resolves the issue. Was just wondering if it was something I was overlooking?

If SM does have a god, he or she must be fucked up all the time considering all the issues people have been having.
Or I picture something like a security office with tons of monitors and it's just this dude in a bathrobe jerking off to all the chicks gold shows.
That's both creepy and amusing. :D

Did this recently change? I was always told we can give the wishlist out if we are asked about it, we just can't ask people to send us gifts or spam it.

I assume this falls under the rule of not giving out personal information or information about other sites. You would have to tell them what site the wish list is on, or if they already know what site (amazon or whatever) you would have to tell them the name or email to search for it, or give them a direct link. All of this violates the rules of the site. They have been really cracking down on it.

^No one has ever contributed to my wish list, ever... They only asked me if I had one to try and find out where I lived. In my opinion the whole wish list idea blows unless maybe you don't lie about where you live. I lie about where I live. And the stuff they tend to offer to buy me... I wouldn't want anyway.

Soliciting outside contact to performers using the Streamate platform can result in member lifetime ban. We strive to keep our performers safe. This is your first warning, second warning will be no contact with performer , third violation will result in your account closed permanently.
This account has been flagged.
Thank you for understanding
Bullshit right? It works though and keeps the heat off us .
So are you saying copy and paste this into the chat while streaming? If so I like the idea but would be better coming from someone with Streamate in their name.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before... but does anyone find the bright interface/back-lighting on SM entirely counter-productive? It makes it literally impossible to achieve decent lighting, I'm pale so I look ridiculously washed out and just... blue, it's so damn bright. It's almost reason enough to not be able to work there. When I imagine what a steak cooked "blue" entails, I think of my face on SM.

If you want to reduce the amount of blue light emitting from your screen (if this is what you mean), you can use software called F.lux to adjust it. It's also good for reducing eye strain when staring at a screen for a bajillionty hours. Just make sure you switch it off to do your color levels/settings first.

It balances the color of the light emitted rather than the brightness to be warmer rather than cooler. There is a buttload of blue light emitted from screens, which causes eye strain and mimics daylight, messing up our circadian rhythms. If you search for the software I mentioned, the website has more info.

Anyone else having problems with placement using the medium widescreen settings? =/
Also now apparently there is no more medium, only recommended and lower configuration files available for download. I'm assuming they just got rid of the "lower quality" file and replaced it with the "medium quality" file; same code as medium just with a different name. I hope that makes sense lol.
dkfkdfnvkn this new widescreen thing fucked everything up. I don't understand, my laptop was fine with recommend before widescreen, now it lags =/ And I feel like they're spanking me for not using recommended by lowering my placement. My traffic has been terrible for the last few days, caused a total cam burnout for me :(
Good news is I'm getting a new modern laptop in a few weeks. I just hope I manage until then :( But there is no reason for it to lag with widescreen and not before if it's technically the same quality, so I'll keep trying

07-30-2013, 10:28 PM
I have been using medium since they came out with it and am the same, usually middle to bottom first page( I float around). But I have noticed that even top models with the old settings were down to like 4th row. But traffic has been super slow for me tonight and last night... well paying traffic.

^ Thank you! I'll try to stay positive then. I can't even check my actual placement because I use geo blocking and don't have an account. I usually just guess based on my traffic :P So maybe I haven't taken a total nose dive. It's just weird because last week I had 5-15 or so people in my room at any given time, and after taking the weekend off and coming back on Monday it's been 0-4. I'm not even going to get online tomorrow :( It kills me to sit in a slow room.

SM I don't like you right now. Why won't you let me go back to the old settings? Why do you freeze and lag like craaaaaaaaaaaaaay when I try to use your older yet better settings? You did not lag and freeze when I used them before. You just want to be a bitch about this WS thing huh? I see you're going to make me use it whether I like it or not. Alright I got you but I still don't like your WS. I will continue using it but I still do not and will not like it. I will just have to deal.

Oh gawd me to, if I use lower settings I end up on page 7, if I use recommended or even old I am on page 1, but with HORRIBLE lag. off from task menu. I try to close the encoder and it freezes up and I have to manually cut it I was fine using the lower settings week before last and then all o the sudden - BAM!! Now my CPU usage is always 100% when I run the encoder. Been trying for at least 5 hours to fix it... I have an i5 so my computer should handle it.. I am perplexed....

I had three really great weeks and then BAM this week is totally dead and my Gold Shows are freezing up on me again so much that I can't do them. Last time this happened, I wasn't able to do them for long, long time.
gdi streamate why are you doing this to me
Idk what the Gold Show problem is, but I'm going to get a new laptop because I need to upgrade anyway. I will be pissed if I buy an expensive laptop with an i7 processor and it stays the same.

Hi ladies,
I have recently joined SM. Before I start streaming, I wanted to opt out of the tube site promotions. I saw ladies posting about emailing a Liz? Is there a special email I need or can I just email support? ALSO, I have downloaded the encoder. I have followed the instructions, even manually configured it and my output looks grainy as hell. I have amazingly fast internet, I have an i7 processor, and I have a logitech c920 cam... so I have no idea why it looks like shit but I am not going on cam like that. Most of what I've found on the encoder is talking about widescreen. Can you ladies let me know what I'm doing wrong?
Thank you.

Question - I logged into my account today, and saw that my last performance was ...today. I haven't been online in the last couple of days, and when I went to check my 'recent earnings' it said there were no earnings for this performer? I can't find myself in the search, but I can still log into my account, and I show up still in my friends favourites, on his account.
Totally freaked out.
