I think this is a glitch affecting a bunch of models, or possibly all profiles not streaming right now.

For the record I just got an email saying my performer account was approved. I've been on SM for 6+ months now, so they're clearly having sitewide problems.

I've been on SM off & on for about a year. I got an email today saying my performer's account is now approved. Wtf. I had to make sure they didn't replace my current one with a new one.
That's kinda creepy though.

Yeah, I got the approval email then my account was back to normal.

i dont know why but for some reason last night during my shift i had a lot of guys asking for bj shows then expecting me to choke/gag on it in premium then left when i told them that reserved for exclusive and we can continue the show there if thats what they wanted.
also probably typical for a holiday but did anyone else notice ALOT of hi im billy joe bob age/state and just annoying freeloaders.

Did any of you notice a strange email address in the CC: area of the approval email? There was one on mine, I thought it was odd.

Christmas Eve I was 20 times where I lived in the first 21 minutes I was on. I even put it in my topic and still was asked. I was ready to slam my head into the computer. Only was asked my bra size 2 times. Bf said he heard me yelling in the living room. I wasn't in such an awesome mood to begin with I should of skipped cam that day .

Snowy, I not only had most guys request BJs in Premium, but I had tons of new custies enter and tell me to 'Hurry Up!" We all know how I feel about those 2 words! They wouldn't even answer when I asked them their name, or how they wanted their bj-pov, above, sideways, etc.
Most guys turned on their cam right away, and I could tell that they were ready to explode. They were jerking like A MONKEY! It was exhausting because I was in back to back prvts for 3 hrs., and most only stayed a minute, or so.
I was so pissed since I had lowered my rates for the holidays. I did end up making more than I had expected, though.

Yeah I usually end up accepting it at the very very end of the timer but next time I will just not accept :) I thought it would cancel it if u didn't accept. I don't want to see them jerking their dick within the first 30 secs that's almost like doing Indy shows and some asshole asking to prove you're real on skype and when you go on quick they're jerking off NO thanks! Pay me first! LOL

i thought it would auto reject not auto accept too and then the guy would get upset and leave so i always clicked yes as soon as ii noticed it until someone else mentioned in this thread it auto accepts so now i dont bother hitting it anymore lol

I'm probably in the minority here, but I actually like when their cam is on. I can get a sense of where they are in terms of their orgasm. If he still has his clothes on, with a close-up of his head, I feel that I could still have a decent lengthy private, because there's a good chance it will take time for him to undress. If he is undressed, and has a flaccid penis, I like that too, because it usually will take time to get him hard.
If a cam isn't on, I get creeped out for some reason. I just can't gauge where the prvt. is going, and it makes it difficult for me, especially if he's not typing or answering my questions. I'm not a mind reader, for christ's sake! It seems that it's always those kinds of prvts., that end up rating me a 1 or 3. blahhh!

I don't mind the cam- streamate is cool cuz I don't see myself in the window too when I use the encoder, but I HATE it on Skype cuz I feel like they're gawking at me - I don't know what it is but skype creeps me out. Maybe it's because the window of them on skype is so huge lol!
I really don't mind cam2cam though for many of the same reasons you mentioned.. Plus you know what they look like so you can give them compliments on their looks :)
C2C is essential for some scenarios - I have one guy who's a regular into racial humiliation- wants me to make fun of his dick and his skin colour, and that just wouldn't be possible if I couldn't see him on cam, right ? :)

The site better got rid of the 30 second rule. The abuse it's unbelievable!!! All sites can do it, you should be able to.
I had 86 members abusing it today. Have they been charged for a minute each i would have made close to a 100 dollars. It's an epidemic now and needs to change. Take note.
I was creeping a models room watching her and she said to her completely full room of 90 guys "I'm probably putting a lot of models under the bus right now, but did you know there's a 30 second preview on this site.. You can go private with a girl for 30 seconds and if you don't like her you can leave without being charged!"
I was like wtfffff
Glamourmilf
12-26-2013, 09:13 AM
^^ Most times it's not helping my mood when I go into another model's room, because of the crap she's telling guys. I've watched many a girl tell custies how much our % is, (which is forbidden), other girls tell guys that they can't believe a girl would stick dildos up her vag over and over, and she even turns her screen to show other girl's camming, and is shocked that SM would put that ugly girl in her category of similar models. (Well, I'm shocked that that particular model gets to be naked in free chat for tips most of her time on cam, without being suspended).
I just do my own thing and worry about my shows.
otherwise it's too depressing if You see what other's are saying in their chat.

I LOVE C2C, it makes it easier for me. I even put it in my profile. I offer it in both paid chats. When they enter, I ask if they want to turn their cam on. THIS makes them stay a little longer. It wasn't my intention but its a good concept.

I see they did not post the payout for week starting 15th of dec that i am supposed to cash tmrw via Payoneer card, i wonder if they are going to pay us tomorrow? Cause i really need these money, i spent money for Christmas here. Few weeks ago they sent the money w.o actually posting the payout on SM site under Payouts. Hmm, what u reckon ladies?

Snowy, if You don't want to look at him in c2c, just stand above ur cam, so he sees your body-from ur neck down. Also facing the other way helps too. I'm a very visual person, so I like that I have the ability to read facial expressions. Also, when he stops stroking and reaches over to his keyboard, 9 times out of ten he's going to log off, IME

I don't know why it seems like they don't post the payouts in the payment history sometimes. But I need that $ for bills as well! I've already written support to see if there is just a glitch and they didn't post to the payment history area! If I hear back I will let you know!

I get checks and noticed nothing was showing up in payment history. I emailed them earlier today and just got this response:
"Thank you for writing. Payments will be issued on time, but the history may not update until tonight. Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist with."

I too, noticed that nothing has shown up in payment history yet. I emailed support and I got a one line response, "Payment is sent on Thursdays." Ummm, actually it shows clearly in my history that checks are cut on Weds. SM support is infuriating to deal with sometimes.

@snowy--try a post it on the screen or drag another window over his cam. The few times I've done this I like to leave a little showing just in case he does something I'm supposed to notice lol.
So I'm thinking about starting on SM again soon but there's one thing I'm having trouble dealing with. How do you cope with the guys constantly coming in and out and not talking?? I used to brush it off thinking it was my cam but last time I logged on I know my cam was fine and it was worse than ever. From watching other girls & seeing their screenshots I know it happens to everyone on SM but after being on IML the last few months (where it really isn't like that) I'm having a hard time not getting demoralized by it. :/
Oh, and speaking of (from a few pages back--haven't checked this thread in a while haha) IML does allow peeping sometimes but there are restrictions to prevent abuse. It's outlined in the guides. I don't see why SM couldn't do the same.

I'm exactly the same as you for the exact same reasons. And YES skeeves me out to no end when they don't open a cam. For all I know it's another model, and yes, that's usually when you get a shit rating. Plus don't you love when they don't have a cam open for you and they just keep typing. Um. That means you're not jerking off. So are you recording it or just a chick...

Nah baby, I don't think you need more ram. I often used to think this was my prob, but time after time it was something else. Like a large program hogging your resources, or needing to re-boot modem, some days it is just sucky internet provider.
Do you know how to check your task manager? I can tell you or have a peep at them computer health thread.

An easy way to figure it out is to look at the page where you start your show, it displays the SM time upper top right. Note what time it is where you live and what time it is on SM. When SM hits 24:00 (Which is really :00 or midnight in SM land) it is cut off time.
Ex: Right now - SM time= 19:00 My time is 1:00 pm. SM time minus cut off is 24:00 -19:00 = 5 hours from now
So, 5 hours from my 1 pm time is 6 pm. 6 pm is cut off for me. I am in Central Time Zone.

I always write down what time I start work and finish. So I have military time written down because I suck at converting it (I have to count on my hands in order to convert it lol). If I forget to write down what time I started I'll look at the first pvt I got and guesstimate what time I started. So if its says 23:00 I look at my time sheet and then I'll take that time and put it in here World Time Converter (http://www.all-nettools.com/toolbox/world-time-converter.php) to convert it to est.

I got my mojo back, after literally few years of struggling on SM (after they introduced gold shows & could not make them work for me therefore i lost self esteem & mojo) i am back doing good again. I had to remember why i was the best sales worker in shop, i was myself, i was real and loved what i did. I transferred all these skills & feelings into cam work w.o thinking 'i have to get on cam to make money' but thinking instead 'ok, let's go on cam and be sexy, nice and real, be ME, the one people loved before GS. Now guys treat me nice, tell me how hot i am and take me pvt or tip me, i cant believe myself, i am 'back' after a bad long nightmare, it feels soo good! Dont wanna brag about the money but tell about how i feel inside. It feels amazing! xxx to everyone xxx

you guys make it too complicated :P
when you start working go to the "my daily online time" tab and write down the "total for this week". Then when you're done working, subtract the first number (when you started) from the new total. Then divide that number by 60 (as it's minutes and there's 60 minutes in an hour) and then you will know exactly how many hours you have worked.

Maybe I missed something but I don't think we were all talking about the same thing. I was saying how I converted GMT to Est and how I kept track of (and figured out) the exactly time I log on an off. Knowing what time I log on and off helps me know what times are best traffic wise. I also write down how much I make per shift which helps me form the best schedule.
