Well that's not as much as about the guys as about SM now letting them get the block discount when actually buying a 1-minute session. What's the point in calling them "blocks", then?

You email support and ask for them to add a pause button. The first time I asked I was told no. I asked again a month later and got one though. :)

So, "Block sessions" aren't block sessions anymore but rather "I'm not planning to stay for longer than 30 seconds but if I do, I want a discount" sessions. FIIIIIIIIIIINE.

This has been brought up a bunch but it's pretty hard to find in pages and pages and pages and PAAAAAGEEEESSSSSS of stuff about Streamate lol :)

But yes, they must stay 3 minutes in order to be charged the full block amount. SUCKS. I don't do blocks anymore but when I did, I didn't show a thing for 3 minutes.

Also, I wanted to add... I was in a 30 minute block session (group), and then my stream lost connection mid-way through with that popup when the Streamate connection gets lost. It charged the customer the full 30m of the block session when the connection was lost, so I didn't waste that time and not get paid. Of course I got right back on and went back into the session even though I had already been paid for all 30 minutes (it was a good regular anyway), despite having only done ~15m at that point.

So don't be afraid of tech issues during block sessions. You will still get paid, and paid for the whole block if it disconnects. I wanted to throw that in there.

lifetravelergirl, while I do appreciate that you say that you're not judging and that you say that there is no "wrong way to cam" your language in your posts says otherwise. I don't know if it's intentional or not, but it really does. However you are comfortable with camming is fine but that doesn't mean that others charging less (including 1$) are wrong or writing themselves short by saying that they are only worth 3cents /minute. We all do what we are comfortable with and while I appreciate that you say that you feel the same way - writing essays about how you feel about GS and how much to charge for GS really doesn't promote that feeling among others who don't charge 1$/min or w/e.


Reading between the lines is tricky business luscious sadie.

I'm getting some mixed messages when I read between yours.

Essentially I am trying to get people to step back and think about what they are charging. It seems like some people on this forum are panicking and just charging the least amount they can for their work. It's probably not helping the industry any but once I leave this page I will be thinking about something else.

Maybe someone should send Streamate a message asking if we can lower the amount we can charge for gold shows. After all if we could charge fifty cents for a ten minute show instead of a whole dollar then I could undercut the dollar girls and get all those custies.

The good news is there are much worse things to worry about. And it's only going to get worse.

If camming isn't profitable one might consider other forms of employment. We all have unique talents. If something isn't working try something else maybe. Or not. Whatever. We are all precious snowflakes and everyone wins.

My payments never messed up although I got the message. I got accepted for gold shows although I may or may not use them on a slow day or to finish my goal. Do you know when the red opt in tv message will go away at the top of my page? Also how many 5 star ratings do we need a month/week/day to keep up the 5 star rating?Thanks.
Also I heard sm was going to be a tv thing one day do u guys think that cause I really want and need sm to stick around lol.

Hi, I received that message too that payments are on schedule. I've been checking my "payment history" page but still nothing is posted, and checked my inbox for the Fedex tracking number and there is nothing. I always receive a tracking # once it has gone out so I find it strange.

Ladies, payments are fine :) This just happens every few months. It's nothing to worry about. I received my check in the mail today. All is fine and well. I know it's stressful, but just know that in the years I have been on SM, ALL of the time the payments page isn't updated, it's simply that the site hasn't updated, but the payments have always been sent on schedule.

I'm glad to see that a lot of other people still don't have anything in their payment history. I've been freaking out as this is the first time for me to receive a payment from SM. I'll be checking my mailbox faithfully until my check arrives.

ugh am I only one having issues with the encoder last night and today on SM? The bit rate keeps drop from 500s-600s to 100s-200s periodically! I am using the ethernet cable for first time and it did not help at all. I also can see some models who always far ahead in front of me are now in back of me and or other models who usually below me are now above me. The placements are wacky today for me.

But hey, money is still coming in here and there. Im trying to keep my chin up. :)

Which version of the encoder are you using Winona? If you are using 3.1 try 3.2. I didn't have probs with the encoder last night / this morning but I couldn't use Chrome, as soon as I pressed start my show I got the message " connection lost ", I had to use Firefox.

Yes you can download the 3.2 from Adobe site. Don't use the download link from SM because if you don't have a MAC you can't download it.

edited - found!

I will report the result later when I am online again!

Yes, but it was because I turned off my lamp. Is there a light facing you? Lighting highly affects bit rate.

Its true. You need a bright light pointing at you, shining from directly behind (or off to the side) your webcam. Then it will stop dropping.

AliceFun

I have four light sources here, two on each side of my desk, i can report that earlier today i sat with 3 lights on and my frames per second sat at 16 instead of 29.97. When i turned the 4th light on it went directly to 30 fps so yes, light is very important. When it's slow i try to save on electricity consumption but then i see its messing up with my software. Oh well

SM HAS treated me Very Well This Week .. Ive been trying different techniques .. Trying not to ban every silent guy has also shown me that maybe there are some who are truly window shopping bc a nice bit of those silent guys actually chose to do exclusive blocks and were some of the nicest men ive met on Sm.. I'm kind of grateful for the shift in traffic on SM i went from being in the top 5 in my catergory to top 8 .. not bad but with my determination im back on front page and more 5 star ratings then ive seen in a long time.. Im ready for the Winter Months now . .YES!!

yeah ive always just emailed regular support . the other day i had a guy take me into a 1 min exclusive then rate me a three star i email support and they took it down. normally they just take down 1 and 2 tho unless the guy was clearly being an impatient/cheap jackass. about 2 months ago i had a guy take me into a 1 hour block stay for ten min rate me a 2 and i got that taken down too.

SOS Can ANYONE help? how to keep this short

OCt 30th Updated my address on SM profile- HOWEVER, accidentally clicked on my legal business name and put in my SSN.
Received email from SM support stating IRS rejected my info, please fix. Your account is on hold!
So no pay out for week of Oct 20th

Nov 12th Still unable to get through to support that I FIXED the problem, I contact Liz. She is able to clear things up and removed hold off of account. So at this point I had missed payout AGAIN, adding the payout for OCT 27th onto the tab. I am assured all money owed will be caught up this week.
This same day my account is switched to Daily Pay (don't say it, I already know now, whole other issue).

Nov 14th I look on SM account to see what payment was cut. Now that account is is switched to DP (yes, switched, I did not have to delete my account and kept all ratings, comments, favs, my name, everything). Now I see I no longer have an option to see when payments were cut! CRAP

I email support to ask them to confirm they are sending me all pay from Oct 20th thru Nov 14th. They did not understand the account was switched and sent an email to DP to deal with the matter brushed me aside. They did not understand this is prior to the DP switch.

Nov 15th I email Liz. She states there was a glitch on their side during the switch and I will receive my pay next week for last week (Nov 22). OK< NOW I AM PANICKING. I wrote her back to confirm I would receive all the pay from Oct 20th until the switch on Nov 12th. She replied the accounting system was down and she would get back to me.

Nov 16th Still have not head anything back from Liz. I sent her an email in the afternoon asking if she had any luck. I have not heard anything.

SOS Can ANYONE help? how to keep this short

OCt 30th Updated my address on SM profile- HOWEVER, accidentally clicked on my legal business name and put in my SSN.
Received email from SM support stating IRS rejected my info, please fix. Your account is on hold!
So no pay out for week of Oct 20th

Nov 12th Still unable to get through to support that I FIXED the problem, I contact Liz. She is able to clear things up and removed hold off of account. So at this point I had missed payout AGAIN, adding the payout for OCT 27th onto the tab. I am assured all money owed will be caught up this week.
This same day my account is switched to Daily Pay (don't say it, I already know now, whole other issue).

Nov 14th I look on SM account to see what payment was cut. Now that account is is switched to DP (yes, switched, I did not have to delete my account and kept all ratings, comments, favs, my name, everything). Now I see I no longer have an option to see when payments were cut! CRAP

I email support to ask them to confirm they are sending me all pay from Oct 20th thru Nov 14th. They did not understand the account was switched and sent an email to DP to deal with the matter brushed me aside. They did not understand this is prior to the DP switch.

Nov 15th I email Liz. She states there was a glitch on their side during the switch and I will receive my pay next week for last week (Nov 22). OK< NOW I AM PANICKING. I wrote her back to confirm I would receive all the pay from Oct 20th until the switch on Nov 12th. She replied the accounting system was down and she would get back to me.

Nov 16th Still have not head anything back from Liz. I sent her an email in the afternoon asking if she had any luck. I have not heard anything.

The system is down that updates payment BUT all payments have been sent..

I would contact the owner of DP since he cuts your pay now. He should know or have it.

Thanks for your quick response. He would have been paid the money I made before the switch, that was on hold, is that correct? Just want to make sure I am clear.

Cuz that would suck, I made this before thus earning the full 35% :-(

I have four light sources here, two on each side of my desk, i can report that earlier today i sat with 3 lights on and my frames per second sat at 16 instead of 29.97. When i turned the 4th light on it went directly to 30 fps so yes, light is very important. When it's slow i try to save on electricity consumption but then i see its messing up with my software. Oh well

If you don't mind telling me, what kind of lamps are you using?

with this question I am not sure how DP works..

Lets hope some camgirls will answer that are familiar with this. I will call one and see if she is able to log on here, she may know.

If you don't mind telling me, what kind of lamps are you using?

I use two floor lamps with 2 bulbs each and white glass, for each lamp i use one cold white shadow bulb and one warm white bulb, not sure if u guys have it in US but we use these economic bulbs in europe.
I even bought a blue bulb but it gives a very strong blue shadow, is good but too much for my lighting setup.

Btw Winona, i saw u on cam, u sitting in dark there, not enough light in ur room, ur face was dark, not good for camming, the encoder is really acting up when not enough light in the room. I would post a full picture with my lights setup but i dont want to be outed here lol so i will post few crops.

Wow, you ladies use a lot of lights! I cam in a small walk-in closet and I have 2 100 watt bulbs. One is in the fixture on the ceiling and one is in a small clip on desk lamp that clips to one of the closet shelves. I rarely have problems with my FPS. However, if I turn that second light off I definitely have issues.

your in a small space.. my room is dark colors and huge.. my room is basically two rooms
MY BIGGEST MISTSKE was painting dark colors.. they looked lighter in the store .... go figure. Now I am just to busy to paint and I hate painters in my bedroom.. kinda creepy if I leave a toy out or if they know me eek lol

your lucky lol I thought about doing my walk in closet but I get claustrophobic... hence why I have a huge Townhome that is empty but lights are needed to fill

If I cammed downstairs I prob would not need as much bc its all white with light hardwoods. My room is drives me insane bc of the furniture.. I just like space

Lately there have been a number of guys who say my cam is "jerky" or "jumpy." I use the encoder and everything seems just fine in my settings. My CPU hovers around 40%.

Do ya'll know what this means/how to fix it? Thanks!

I haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate painting like seriously I'd rather do anything else then paint. My problem is opposite of yours. White walls make me look washed out but darker colors makes me look true to life/not washed out. Instead of painting I bought 17 packs of curtains and stapled them on every piece of my wall. My room is a complete different color now.

I tried to reply while I was at work but stupid phone glitches. haha.

Thank you ladies!!! :) Yes, I know my lighting is too damn poor here. I hate having bright lights cuz it gives me bad headaches. I will try different kinds of bulbs and find one that I am comfortable with. Maybe pink. I have been complaining to my husband about my wall being too dark and he don't wanna repaint it. It is a two room with french door in middle and he wants to keep desert-ish theme (with skulls as door stopper lol). He suggested I buy a very large and tall white room divider or something like that and use it as a background and add some lamps y'all suggested. I am trying to save money for a new pc, hopefully in early December. Glad I am at 6.99/9.99 so it gives me a bit more to spend on camming stuff. :D

Does anyone windows users use encoder 3.2? In the last week or so the encoder has froze on me like 3-4 times. Like the picture will freeze and then when I try to disconnect or close it, it turns white and says "not responding". It won't even close when I try to force the end processor through the task manager. I have to restart my computer in order for it to close. Has anyone else experienced this? I never had this problem before, I dunna why its doing this.
