No, I didn't ask him. It's actually my ex that was wanting to do this (lol), but he signed up directly on SM out of spite when we broke up, but wants to sign up from cammodels.

I didn't know I could get banned from it. o_o

So, it's best he just keeps his original account?
If so, what's required to extend your limit? Just an ID?

oh you should be good.
He may need to verify that it is his credit card. Have him go ahead and deactivate the account. and create a new one. if they need him to verify his account he will have to send a picture of his id and card and a written statement giving permission to use. they made me do it for mine when I done goofed.

I was like, "Crap, he already deleted his account!" LOL.
Okay. Hopefully there are no complications... We discussed this through text and he's never even been to my page before, so I hope there are no complications.

I'm having a horrible week on SM this week. :/ Keep getting talkers who want to waste my time. Everytime me sign on them in my room but just talking. Or some not talking at all omg.

Sonikku
12-15-2013, 10:35 AM
^this.

But sometimes it's worth talking to them. A lot of them just want to build some kind of connection with you.
I heard from a male friend that guys there like to look for companionship.

The reason it's wrong to do this is the obvious...you could be taking another girl's commission by having him resign up through your link. Some girls work hard promoting their cammodel link to get the extra commission and if other girls are stealing those customers away that's just wrong to do. That's why the site will close your account for stealing customers.

That's why the site will close your account for stealing customers.

Also, it's considered to be cheating the system by Streamate. The cammodels link pays more because it's intended to bring in a new customer who has never been a member before in the past. Otherwise we could all just tell our regulars to delete their accounts and sign up under our link.

They will definitely either suspend or ban you if they see you do this.

I mean, thanks for telling me. I honestly didn't know.

He would have paid for my show either way.
He deleted his account before I could tell him there's a chance we could both lose our accounts.

Stealing another girl's extra commission??
Lmao.
Okay... First my ex doesn't even use these sites. He just wanted to help me out and get a nice show.
I'm not hurting anyone...
He went to the site to find ME.
I'm not dragging customers away from anyone else...

^ The thing is that SM is a very impersonal site. They have thousands of girls to deal with and don't care about your personal history with him. You might get away with it or you might not but if you do get caught doing this I wouldn't expect any sort of understanding--if you try to explain all that to them you'll either get a canned non-response or (more likely) no response at all.

If it's someone you know IRL and it's being planned out ahead of time why not just have him mail you a check, or wire you the money (if he's getting any real sort of show the $20 or so fee will be nothing compared to SM's 65%), or (can't believe I'm saying this but since I'm assuming your ex won't rat you out or try a chargeback and already knows your real name) even use Paypal?

Sonikku
12-15-2013, 12:24 PM

No need to get defensive with me...I don't make the rules, Streamate does. I was simply explaining why they don't allow it. Like laurielegs said, it defeats the purpose for girl's to try to get new customers to the site if they can just be stolen away. Rules are set for a reason. I wasn't attacking you or saying that you personally were stealing someone's commission, just explaining why the rule was there.

@Sonikku I would be careful. If he does things out of spite then he might just record your shows and post them all over the internet or show people you know out of spite.

I am taking Monday as a all day cam day. From 8am to 8pm. Taking breaks in between. And then jumping on MFC for 2 hrs or so at 9pm. I get a lot of traffic in my SM room but it's such a hassle getting a prvt sometimes like uggghh. I will NOT give up tomorrow! >.<

One of my very high limit customers said they run a credit check to raise the limits beyond what is already available. Which make sense because the guys are not charged immediately after shows, so they need to make sure the guy is able to support a high limit.

I always seem to have more gold show guys on the weekends, but my overall averages usually stay the same.

Have you hit ctrl shift and + the same time to see if it changed? I know that sounds silly, but if you are using chrome, it saves what you set zoom in and out of the page. Even if it was holding ctrl and scroll on your mouse.

I just switched to Payoneer ACH. I have always gone with checks before and they were usually in the mail every Monday. I have not received my Payoneer payment. I did get an email on Dec.13 and it says it can take up to 3 business days to show up. I hope it shows up later today. I assumed that ACH would be quicker than checks.

For me ACH is every Tuesday (unless delayed for one day by a holiday). Well worth waiting an extra day for me because I've had so many things lost/delayed in the mail.

The way the direct deposit falls, no. Should be there on friday for Payoneer, Tuesday for direct deposit if your bank is open xmas eve. If you get a check in the mail the usual holiday mail backups will probably slow it down with everyone mailing gifts.

It looks graphically different. The best way to describe it is that it has become more simplified and streamlined.

Still no Payoneer deposit. I wonder if it was issued than usual since I just signed up last week. The issue date from SM is Dec.13. I'm getting a little worried. If it's not there by tomorrow morning I'll have to contact Payoneer.


Ok, I went ahead and called. They're going to push it through again. Apparently, something went wrong. Just my luck :(. They did assure me it will be there in a day or two.

I just got this email from Payoneer. Has this ever happened to anyone else? I'm about to go back to checks :(

Update: I finally got my Payoneer deposit.

GM, I noticed they didn't do their usual Halloween design on the site either.

I have like 0 traffic today. I hate when I'm able to make it on earlier than usual and then it turns out to be a waste of time. I wish I could be more confident in my time spent on SM. Constantly being let down though. Ugh. Head up and will try again later.

^^ same for me. I always think it's sm punishing me for not being on in 2 days. But I had to work my other jobs. My traffic is heavy, but I think they are pulling regs, and potential custies out of my room. **just my own 'conspiracy' theory.

Ok, I have a question...Do you accept a Gold Show if you donīt reach the full goal? I try not to until I reach at least 3/4 of my goal...I mean, if my goal is $100 for a 6 minutes show, I usually do it at 70 if I see there is no way I reach the full amount (I hate to restart the timer) But if youīre far away of your goal, letīs say, $35/40 for a 6 min. show, would you do it? I felt tempted yesterday when it was so slow, I mean 10 dls is better than 0 dls, but I finally didnīt because I donīt want them to get used to it. Whatīs your policy?
