Thank you rosemary :) That is a good idea since your hourly has been rising instead of declining you give me much hope that camming will support me alone as a full time job. :) Also ty justanothercamgirl :) I am glad it was a glitch :) I was doing really good on there too I had a long exclu but had to go because of family issues. I wanted to ask just is that u in ur avi? If so omggg u r smokinnn if not I am sure ur still smokin and I would like to see :) Ok not stalking u or trying to perv lmao well maybe a bit but gosh u r hott. All of u girls r gorgeous :) I do have another question I had asked the other day but rosemary since u have been very consistent is it on sm? If so do you see more new men than regs? Thats for all of you ladies I would like to know if you make more off new men than regs. I have a few regs but if I lost all the new guys I would lose it lol. I mean mainly because every day its new men a reg or two maybe mixed in but mainly new!! I hope that keeps up cause most of the new ones I never see again if I do its like weeks later lol. Also anyone here who doesn't use sound on sm are you doing good with that? I mean in free chat I hate using it in free chat I only do it in pvt because I feel like its a waste to talk in free or in my opinion it is and has proven to waste too much time. I hustle better through type lol. Thanks :)

Finally bit the bullet and moved to wide screen because I had dropped down to row 6... went right up to row 1-3 again and back to being one of the first few listed in redhead category. I didn't expect widescreen to jump me THAT high but I guess them saying it will hurt your placement to use standard def is very true!
Blah.. Guess Ill do the widescreen tomorrow too

Thanks for your reply to my post Cam_Model_Jess! I didn't wanna intefere with my internet connection or computer untill I knew it wasn't a SM glitch. So today I got my BF to look into it and it turns out it's windows 8 automatic updates that are slowimg down and freezing up my computer! For now he's turned of auto updating but he will have to do some more later. For now my kbps is stable and other issues seem to have been fixed. My cpu was running at 100% even though nothing was running! So if any of you lovely ladies are using windows 8 please google the issues with updates, my problem is wide spread and it could be effecting you. Traffics not improved though :(

I get that at least once a day. it is awkward but i just act like a cute little school girl with my bubblegum. One time a guy sat silent for 15 minutes but i made sure i was constantly moving around just in case he did a chargeback or claimed i didn't do what i was being paid for. lol :)

traffic for me has been dead as a funeral so i log off for a bit and log back on and usually catch a private or two. today and yesterday have been strangely slow for me so i think it may be that way for most of us. Only thing i can think of is the holidays maybe or sports. :)
by the way, if it wasn't for a long private yesterday with a regular i would have made about $5 and same thing today, without that long exclusive I'd literally would have made $1.75 (off a $5 tip). LOL. smh.

Oh lawd I hate the silent privates, I just think 'yep being filmed' so I just keep my face of the camera the whole time!

^^^ It happened to me on SM to believe i was in a 'silent pvt' where the member was charged but HE WAS NOT, the pvt ended up minutes before and i was stuck in a non existent private actually. Since then i disconnect the session if member is not typing to me anymore, i make sure i ask 'u still with me?', if no answer i cut the session. I would hate to be stuck in 'pvt' again for minutes w.o actually being paid or even worse to broadcast in free chat w.o knowing, i know sites are glitchy and u dont always know what is going on.
Is anyone else having encoder problems? I have everything set up right and even tried to uninstall and reinstall it. UGH. HD hell.

No that isn't the right input and out for WS.
You can download these files from Support>HD Encoder>Setting Up the Encoder with the Correct Settings or you can just manually set them.
Recommended Quality (Windows)- These settings work best with widescreen cameras and will give you the highest quality video. Try this file first, and always use these settings if you can.
https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=35767&d=1387066103
Medium Quality (Windows)– These settings will work with most modern equipment. If you can’t run the Recommended file, try using this file.
https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=35766&d=1387066101
Lower Quality (Windows)– These settings should work with older equipment or slower internet. This is the lowest quality video that our system will still consider HD.

This has been my 2nd lowest hourly average week in 2.5 years on SM. Bleh.
What I do for hourly average, I have a spread sheet that I keep track of all my time online, when I log on and off, and how much I made total for each day. So I can see what my hourly average was for the day, the week, the month, and the year with how I have my spread sheet set up. As well as how much I make daily/monthly/yearly, etc. I've done this for the entire time I've been camming full time and my hourly average is incredibly consistent. It has gone up a tiny bit each year, but not much. At least it hasn't gone down!
But yah, I have bad weeks like this week my hourly is awful, but even still I can usually count on a reasonable average to know what I'll make in any given amount of time online.
Thanks! I don't know what it was. I had to erase the stream setting and the one below that and manually typed them in. ( my computer doesn't paste and copy well.) Not sure what the difference was but it fixed it. Thank God! I mean I was going over it with a fine tooth comb and couldn't figure out wtf. Yay. Back in action!

That's the correct input for the lower quality settings, but you'll need to crop the output to 640x360.

12-13-2013, 01:13 PM
Also before I got an i7 I was using the Medium and Lower settings. I hated how the crop option 60x60 made me look, so I unselected it and it still looked/worked fine. My placement didn't drop at all.
I dunna why but now that I'm using the Recommended settings my placement has actually dropped. I dunna if it because I took 2 weeks off or if its because I'm splitcamming now. If its because I'm splitcamming I don't see how that could effect my placement since my computer is only at 23% when I do it.
When you guys upgraded your internet did that boost your placement at all? I'm trying to figure out why my placement would be worst now that I'm actual using the best settings and computer Vs when I wasn't.

What is your internet upload speed? If your upload is not very high then it might be dropping the quality of your stream when you are using widescreen because it requires more from your upload.

How many one star ratings do you guys get?? for the last 90 days i have averaged 5 "1" star ratings.. and for a total of 15 and the rest all good ratings and now i am fucking down to 4 stars.. WTF?? doesn't seem right.. that , that few amount of 1 stars that would demote me a half a star.. uggh.. now i am reduced to beggin.. so far it got me 1 5star rating and another 1 star rating.. for some reason when i ask for ratings cuz i need to get it back up there they take great pleasure to upset me even fucking further.. these assholes need to fucking suck on some bath salts.. end rant!
Busygirl
12-13-2013, 03:44 PM
You girls should let members know when asking for the ratings that you will be able to see what rating they gave in their history page. It might deter those "anonymous assholes", who think we will not know their mischief.
Cam_Model_Jess
12-13-2013, 04:22 PM
I'm just grateful they got rid of the anonymous ratings. Before we had detailed customer profile info, it was impossible to tell who had for sure left the ratings, especially when more than one customer was in private. I used to check my ratings after each show and STILL couldn't tell. That sucked.
I would start writing to get ratings removed if you can. Like from today onward.

I am having a MAJOR problem on streamate right now. I have done two gold shows tonight. Only HALF of the guys who joined the shows are showing in my earnings!!! This is not the usual wait, this is some showing and some not!!! This even applies to a TV show!
Anyone else having this????

I post in my free chat that if you rate me 5 stars after the show you will get naughty picture :) Its just me saying " Thank you for rating me 5 stars LOL When I get 1 star, 2 star, 3 star rating its always fuckers who stay until 1 minute and want you to fuck yourself in head stand withing first 15 seconds. If they do - i always email support with details and especially time they stayed in - up to date they removed bad ratings - which is 1*, 2*, 3* . They do not want to remove 4 stars - even thoug I managed to do so once with chat log - I always make notes about those fuckers and block them when they come back. The ones who leave 4 stars - I politely ask them why they did so - a)they came in pvt late and wanted something different than I was doing - those usually say sorry and take you again then leave 5 stars or b) jackasses who tell you well it was great but it was JUST bj or some similar sounding shit - those get blocked - I dont half ass my shows so those wont get a chance to see them again ;) good luck sweetie

I have been having the same issues with gold show earnings. It has been over 18 hours since I started doing shows last night and still not all of the earnings are posted on my profile. I did contact streamate models support, they assured me that they are going through some technical issues. They told me that we still received all the earnings, but it is just not showing up right now. I have talked to some other models and apparently this has been happening for the past few days. It kind of freaked me out to say the least! Nice to know that they are aware of the issue and working to resolve it!

Hey Monica did they say if the earnings would be on for this pay period or was it more of that they'll eventually get them to us? It's kind of freaking me out, I don't want to work my ass off today if i'm not going to get the money on this pay period lol :) It's kind of frustrating. I'm actually thinking about writing everyone down from gold shows today and how much they put in to make sure I get it :( So frustrating!

I have the same problem and I think for other girls it has been slower too. Don't feel bad about it :) I felt bad for a bit but you know if no one stays in your room for longer than 2 seconds there's really not much hustling to be done.

12-15-2013, 06:42 AM
Can definitely cosign the slower earnings this week ... It seems like all the guys I get that stay for long are either like "You're too good for this site, you have such a sweet personality/good aura/insert something positive here" or "Why are you on this site? You seem too good to be doing this/You must have a boyfriend/So why do you do it?" which makes no sense to me and is very annoying. Like why is that your concern? Shut up, I have bills to pay too lol Either that or they've once again mistaken my room for a dating site and once they find out I'm taken they try to talk shit about my boyfriend. Or of course, constant freeloaders that leave as soon as I tell them the price of whatever they're asking for.
I just hope things get better soon :( I'm moving in with my BF (he lives 10 hrs away) in just a few weeks and I need as much money as I can get to make ends meet for the trip. Back to streaming I go

If a guy deletes his account on SM and recreates one through my cammodels link, will the extra earnings apply, or no?

What he spends on that new account, any extra will come up on your account under type as 20.00% Cammodels
Anything he spent on his old, will not
Sonikku
12-15-2013, 07:49 AM

Do you know possibly how long it takes for them to close an account?
He wouldn't be able to raise his limit on the new account, would he?
AliceFun
12-15-2013, 07:54 AM
Sonikku, I hope it was not u asking him to do that because it's a huge NO NO to do, if u get caught by SM u'll get banned. If he uses the same address, credit card and all the same info to create a new account thru ur cam models link u both are at risk.

Let me ask you this, did you ask him to do this on SM or another? because you aren't allowed to refer SM customers to your cammodels link if already.
And I'm not sure.
