I had some guys get kicked out of private after 1 or 2 minutes. They came back and it was okay but what a hassle for them.
That's an interesting theory Laurie. I hope so too.

Something is wrong on sm's side, i cant find myself on site nor my cammodels link is working plus i got this message on sm profile page 'PENDING APPROVAL TO STREAM
Your application is currently in our review queue. Please allow up to seven business days for approval'
WTF is wrong? my cam name is not searchable either nor do i appear on site?! Tho i am online streaming and my room is dead??!!
ETA: closed session to reopen it but now there is no button for me to start streaming WTF? anyone else pls? no message in my email inbox from support or any message on sm profile page that i am suspended or something??!!
I´ve just got an approval email from Streamate, but I didn´t noticed any different beside of that. I scared to death when I saw it, but apparently nothing changed, and I read here it happened to other girls...I was online normally right before the email.
@alicefun your id could have expired and they might need you to send a new one in...
that happened to me last year.

Maybe this is why it doesn't say I've had a check issued this week? Cuz it was def over my minimum pay out but not showing up in my "payment history"

Has anyone else seen an increase in racial humiliation requests on SM lately? I've gotten like 5 different custies asking for racial humiliation in the last 2 or 3 days... it's weirding me out!
I have a couple's page with my boyfriend who is African American, we have gotten a few requests this week asking me to call him names during our shows which we don't do at all! One of them really worked out in our benefit though. Someone asked me to call him a "porch monkey" while he was fucking me which is SOOOOO disrespectful in our eyes. Another guy who was in the room was just as offended by it as we were and tipped $97 to our gold show! He said it was to make up for all the assholes coming in asking stupid questions! lol

My traffic has been slow for the past 2 days but still making enough to satisfy me! Just means longer hours :)

Same here!
I've been on the lower rows of page 1 for a while and my traffic has suuuuuuucked!
I'm accepting this as my own fault though because I'm not consistent, I took a LONG time off Streamate in favor of doing clips for months. So my rating went back to 4 a couple weeks ago (now gone back to 5), but still really bad traffic and much lower earnings than I used to get. I'm making the most money off TV GOLD shows and some privates. I can't seem to make $100 GOLD shows (that aren't TV) for shit lately! Earlier on I couldn't even make a $50 GS! O_O But again, I've barely been on in that time I cammed, so yeah.
Here's to working our way up!! <3 We can dooo it! ;D

Question: Do you automatically block customers who ask for things that are against the rules and if so do you also report them?

I don't usually report them, however I do copy and paste their text into the individuals notes so I remember why I blocked them. It really depends, I have had a few minors that I have reported and just block the rest....chances are they are eventually going to screw themselves over when they repeatedly ask models to do things that are against the rules

I only report customers that really piss me off and it helps if I am in a bad mood already.
And I only perma-ban so I don't keep any record of what they said, there is no chance in Hell I will ever un-ban someone once I ban them so the details are irrelevant to me.

yeah cuz i see them as nothing more then a nucense and since theyre are so few girls who will actually break the rules and do what they want i just block them because i started noticing the same ppl are asking once every so often so either theyre trolling or theyre trying to find girls who will do their offensive kink for them
but i dont report sm fails hardcore when it comes to stuff like that i cant wast my time reporting ppl like that when there's money to be made and anime to be watched when im done with that : P

I was finally able to catch a persistent spammer/advertiser and block his/her ass...I reported the handle to SM several times and all I get is "we're aware of the problem" or them telling me this person was blocked. So I sat this waiting, like a cat ready to pounce on its prey and finally I nabbed the fucker. I'm sure they will be back eventually with a different handle.

I HATE that! There is someone who changes his handle all the time and literally has his copy/paste skills down I guess. He comes in and puts "GO TO WWW.PUSSY4FREE.COM" or some shit like that, and then leaves before I can even get to his name, which he changes every time. It's the most irritating thing when I can't get him!

I have noticed that by using keywords in my first impressions message it sends all the boys to the yard. If you haven't done it, I'd get on that. They seem to be acting better than keywords as it drives guys specific to that fetish right to your room.
Kortneykay - thank you for the tip about adding keywords! I've got a few niches I really enjoy and thought there just wasn't the traffic on Streamate for it, but as it turns out they just couldn't find me. I added some keywords and I've had the most fun on cam tonight that I've had in ages! yay :)

I've just added CEI and have gotten a lot of long EXL from guys who are crazy about it.
Thanks Kortney, just updated mine! Will post with the results!

My last bio pic, I uploaded it and then tweeted about being impatient about getting it approved, didn't even tag them or anything and BOOM! within 5 min after tweeting it was approved. no idea if that was just extremely lucky or not but I'm kinda thinking it wasn't luck lol... try it!

i am furious with streamate. my studio owner called me this morning and said my account is now closed for performing with unauthorized persons in my show. i have only done solo shows ever. i have never performed with anyone else ever, even those who are approved performers. even when they have told me how much more money we could make performing group shows. i am unable to log into my account. my understanding is that if they close your account they also hold all your earnings. i am more than angry how they can make an accusation that is totally false and do such a thing. i never performed on other sites because my SM income was so great i never felt the need to cheat. has this happened to anyone else? results? i am definitely shopping around for a new cam site now

Yesssss!! This is the guy who changes his screen name on there all the time and literally copies and pastes it into all the models rooms on the homepage. Just saw him last night!

Hi ladies!
How has SM been for you guys lately?? I took a break from that website, was getting really frustrating with the dating traffic awhile back. Was trying to focus on other sites with better traffic and also get a part-time job (not webcamming)
I really don't want to give up on SM, but it really was bad for while--how has it been for some of you?? Is the traffic better and have any of you been making decent money?
Thx

^THIS. That's the only thing I hate about this site, I know that others have the free chat thing but at least on CB or MFC guys will actually converse with you so that you're aren't just sitting there like, "Hi!....Hi!....Hey!....Hi, how are you?" ugggghhhh this does nothing to help my short attention span I experience when on cam. lol

I'm with you on that one. I think the thing that is really bothering me is when they keep popping in your room over and over again. Sometimes just for the hell of it I will say "It's still me....sorry I haven't quite grown out that third boob yet"

I have this problem frequently with my BCC950. I have to close the encoder, unplug the webcam from the usb, plug back in and then re-open the encoder and use the drop down menu. Frustrating as hell!

Unfortunately that doesn't work. I've been fiddling with all the settings/programs but there is something seriously weird on my end. I will probably just get an external mic as I've been meaning to anyway, but it's so annoying this won't work.
BritishBecky
01-14-2014, 06:59 AM
^Is your computer recognising your cam mic in the sound settings in control panel? If it is then it might help to set it as your default mic (which seems to force it to show in the encoder). If it isn't then it's probably a problem with the cam mic itself.

When this happens to me, I'm having either frame rate or bit rate issues. Watch your encoder carefully, if you notice the frame rate or the bit rate is dropping, that's probably the reason for the placement dropping.
Last time it happened to me it was my internet connection and I had to have a tech come out and fix the line. But, I have had it happen a couple times randomly which I assume was just a Streamate issue and it had to work its self out over a few days.

thank you! yeah it went back to my placement but it was horrible. losing ppl left and right on top of being sick today
I have a question.. its been slow for the last 2 days. I have been making my goal and everything.. but my time percentage for this week is 22 and I am worried about my placement.. Would that cause anthing to change?
