Anything else see this ad campaign that streamate has? I think it's pretty hilarious. A freeloader's dream.
I get that popup all the time.
I think it's an affiliate, but still, with all the deep throating and actual sucking and fucking (off cam but still) I hear, it's not really too far from the truth.

I saw a model who's show was going to be about her riding a real live dude. It wasn't a dual person account, so I was wondering what the rules are, regarding that?
She wasn't showing his face during the count down, so I'm wondering about that. My bf doesn't want an account but is more than happy to act as my stunt dick, if I'm so inclined.

that was a total violation of site rules just because his face wasnt shown the fact that an unregistered individual was on cam and PERFORMING with the registered model was a huge no no

I thought you could have a male performer registered to be on your account without switching it to a full on couples account... like you don't have the boy/girl icon thingy... but they are still registered to perform on the account occasionally...?

Well, if you want another female to perform with you on occasion they still have to be registered on your account EVEN IF they have their own SM performer account... and when that happens they do not switch it to a couples G/G account since it is just on occasion that the other performer will be there.
My guess is that it would work the same for B/G too. If the primary purpose is not to be a couples account, I think they would leave it as a female performer account...?

Yes i wanted to perform with my ex fiancee and liz told me she can register my bf under my account if i want to cam with him occasionally so yes it can be done this way too.
I decided not to do it lol and it was a good decision at the end *wink*

You can. If Streamate has the paperwork on that person they can be on your live stream. Couples don't have to make a couple's account and some guys only cam with their ladies occasionally. I have seen lots of usually solo accounts occasionally have a guest or two.

You have to have them fill out the same paperwork we did but they can be an addition to your account. I did that with My former GF ( who ended up making a solo account anyways) but My friend also does that with her husband she added him so if guys want a B/G show she can get him and just makes sure it's an exclusive block session. If someone is NOT registered then it's a violation but he may be an addition so she can occasionally have a guest star lol :)

Haven't heard back from Streamate on this. The bank where the other performer deposited my check told me they are going to send me a check for the amount of my lost paycheck.
***Another update and probably the final update ***
Streamate has completely failed to even acknowledge that they sent my paycheck to another performer. Even after sending multiple support messages.

did you file a police report? If not, do it, IMO it proves to them it is not you.
Maybe they are thinking a "scam" is going on...... not saying you are a scam , not at all.
From a business I would require more than banking info. Police reports are taken seriously and kinda proves the "victim" is not a scammer.

DAMN.
Naked and Myfreecams seem like the only bigbox camsites that have had a steady rise over the summer. Chaturbate's skyrocketed. From a quick look the only one that divebombed harder than SM was Cam4 of all places.
Wow.... lol that is fucking terrible haha what happened? My lulz is more at how extreme it is, I forget to check site stats. Thanks for the reminder.
Well, I guess we can take a stab at some of the causes but yeesh

It can't be just summer since other sites are having the highest traffic ever. Notice Naked and MFC are both tipping sites. Perhaps those are the kinds of sites that are going to rise to the top of all cam sites.

I had not considered that.... good point!!!
I wonder which are the most popular white labels?
It makes it interesting on getting a perspective on traffic. Sites like MFC are not white labeled, most of the other sites do not have as many white labels as SM.... Too bad we can't check out the spending trends on the site as a whole! :)

lol I wish I knew. Considering SM has a million white labels and 1.5 gazillion model affiliates, money tree codes, the list can go on and on :)

My bank did nothing but it wasn't their issue.
After requesting an image of the cashed check I was able to determine the Who, Where and When. Then I contacted the bank where the check was deposited. The other cam person's bank mailed me a check for the amount of my stolen check minus two cents which I gratefully deposited in my own account. Thanks Streamate O_o .

I tried contacting sm support about this and they told me no. I emailed Vanessa and she said due to her work load she couldn't do it but she told me to contact sm support and they should accommodate my request, but since they already said no, I don't really want to try asking them again.
I only wanted to do it this way because my bf doesn't have time to be trying too long to get shows before we get gold shows enabled. He would probably only do it a couple times a week anyways.

Glad to know things got sorted out and i hope now u going to have electronic payment to receive ur money?! I would do it in ur place. I hope more and more cam girls will give up on paper checks, it's just too risky!

I am sorry to hear they will reject ur request, i think it depends also on who u know at SM *wink*, u can try emailing support again till u get one person do it for you, hope u'll have success with it, Good luck!

I was $3.99/$4.99 on Wed night. I raises them both $1 for Thursday night so now I'm $4.99/$5.99 and I didn't notice a drop in privates. Even my regulars didn't say anything. I'm always afraid to raise my rates and piss off my good regulars.

does anybody have their premium chat price higher than exclusive? or even tried it at one point?
i did it to TRY and stop the sec. peeping toms, i still get premiums just want to know other opinions on this theory.
most guys dont even notice and click it anyway but some just say why is your premium higher than exclusive.
sometimes i explain and they goo "ahh smart girl i want you to myself anyways" ... sometimes i don't depending on the custie.

Jojo does and she finds the same thing they just kept taking her private lol so shes started telling guys in free chat that her exclusive in cheaper then her pvt. but that wouldnt work for me i dont think because im trying to go fetish/roleplay and if my exclusive was cheaper id be shooting myslef in the foot.

I do. I hate doing premium shows with a fiery passion.
When guys ask me why my premium is higher than exclusive, I tell them I prefer a one-on-one experience and adore cam-to-cam so I give people who love the same thing as I do a break price wise. They always tell me how nice that is of me to do and how that makes perfect sense.
Of course the actual truth of the matter is that 30 second peepers make me all stabby and the glee that I get at catching one at 31 second @ $14.99/minute can keep me in my 'happy place' while camming for days. :)

I tried it and regretted it, actually.. because I could have been entertaining 1+ guys simultaneously and earning DOUBLE or more what I got! (And at a premium rate of 9.99 per min... double that feels pretty damn awesome when it happens)
Doesn't make any sense to me to have your exclusive cheaper than your premium. Sure the 30 sec peepers are annoying, but the way I see it they will come in no matter how expensive your premium price is, (because they aren't paying you for it anyway!) however, by entering your chat there's always the chance they linger one second longer than they wanted to and it's still money in your pocket. ;)
I'm a firm believer in being able to convert even 30-second peepers into guys who actually spend, because let's face it, if a 30 second peeper enters paid chat and sees his DREAM GIRL DOING DREAM SEX-THINGS AND OMFG THIS IS THE BEST SHOW HE'S EVER SEEN.. it might just make him want to stay and pay.

As a side note, I've actually got have a conversation with a 30 second peeper who wasn't aware I was a camgirl. It is a small sample size, but it seems that what he really seemed to get off the most on was 'getting one over on the girl' and not paying. He would tell me with pride how he had all his tabs lined up in a row so he could keep hoping in and not really miss a second of her show.
