can customers block models? i had a guy with a 1 by this name come into my room this morning talk for a little bit then got quite and didn't go pvt so i kicked him out then i get a message from him that said i was rude and it was no wonder all i do is sit there in free chat all day and no goes pvt me then i try to send him a message back and i get this error :
ERROR DETAILS:
You must specify at least one recipient
Write an address in the To or Cc field
I was just asking about that yesterday, got the same message when I tried to reply a really generous customer who tipped me over 100$ 3 days before. And I also couldn't add him to contacts, I got msg that I have to specify recipient. I really hope he didn't block me, I don't know why he would do that. We just talked for a while, and his msg to me was also nice. Don't know what happened, really.

I've had that happen before when a member changes his username. If he changed it back, I was able to send a message but as long as he was using a different name, it would say error

So I'm wondering if there is an algorithm or formula to who they pull for TV gold shows... TVs are just about the only ones I do (not solo) since I'm not really a GS person, but those are guaranteed.
Any ideas?
I was talking to producer12 during a countdown. Had s/he said its when you come up available on a list. Then for 90 minutes you are removed and put back once time is up. Also I've noticed it depends what you pull in average during a goldshow or if the producer is lazy, just puts what you earned on your last one.
This is what they told me.
They are super nice people and they will answer your questions if its reasonable.

I reported the ghost noises to support. They said they sent my problem to the correct department. so they say
I think that department is called "TRASH CAN"

^^^^Those ghost noises is what makes me think SM is possibly doing voyeur shit behind our backs. But, it's probably just a techy diffy. Every time I do an EXL (which I do 99.9% of the time) I hear them pinging in and out.

I only heard them come in, but never heard any leave. And there were so many! So weird.

I still think its the I-pad users... I did ask a few of the guys when it was happening and they were on their I-pad.. I had reported it too
This is the response...
Having a successful exclusive session with a user will automatically block anyone else from coming into that room. Please let us know if this problem persists. Does this dinging only happen with certain users while in exclusive, or does this happen with every exclusive session?

Been on for an hour and been disconnected twice while in exclusive. The guy I was just with had gotten up to get something when it disconnected and he just wrote me saying it said I logged off and he hoped to see me another time. This guy is hot as hell and always spends an hour with me. There goes some good money.
Fuck you Streamate!!

^I HATE how when we get disconnected the guys see "performer has logged off" or something along those lines, it should let them know it's the site's fault. now it just looks like we got tired of them and left!
Holly_xoxo
02-16-2014, 10:31 AM
Exactly! I wrote him and said what happened and that I was back on but I haven't seen him. I'm guessing he logged off. His money and hotness are usually the highlight of my day Lol

He is a reg with a 3 next to his name so I know he gets a whatever percentage off.
but this has never happened.

If you are in Classic chat and guys are tipping you gold does the amount show to everyone, even though it's not party chat? I know they can hear it and over a certain amount it turns into a chime. Just wondered if the member name appears and his gold?

@PhatGirlDynomite!!! I think it does but don't quote me on it. I use to do CC all the time. Now I just stay in PC in case I have to do a Gold Show when its slow. I remember other people commenting on someone else tip, I'm pretty sure I was in CC. When someone else tipped gold I've had other people said "He tipped you _ gold, you aren't going to do anything?".

Thanks for responding. I really hope so. I think that could play up the competitive spirit amongst the guys.

Hmmm. When a model puts in her topic that a Gold show tip of $10 will get you 3 of her dvds in the mail, is she forgetting that she's only gonna see $3.50 of it? That hardly seems worth it. And a pack of 20 stamps costs $9 now.

YESS! that has happened to me quite a few times! I took pictures and asked my guy about it but I have yet to hear back about what the deal is. I've had guys buy into a $5 GS and it will say $5.01 and that I will receive $1.50. Or someone tipping in $15.38. Seems strange to me.

Yeah, if it's a top row pornstar, then it's as I said. I so wonder about that, as there's other people in the DVDs so surely she doesn't own the rights... I just wonder, it's not my problem lol

Speaking of those pop-ups on other sites, a SM member just told a model "I was asked if I wanted to fuck you. It said you live near me, if so. I do, and the question is when and where?"

I believe she wasn't using geoblocking and SM actually got low enough to advertise models by location. Models who geoblock automatically aren't used in advertising. In which case, I shall continue to geoblock the shit out of most of the states in my timezone. I hate to read about surprises like this, if that poor model is on here, she has my condolences.

I nominate $0 gold shows as a "Most Idiotic Business Idea of 2014" ...
Holly_xoxo
02-19-2014, 02:52 PM
What gets me wanting to stab someone in the eyes, is when I see guys that wouldn't put 1$ in to a gold show, will now drop 20, 50 or even more in a 0 show, so they can look like big cock for a bunch of freeloading wankers! Why couldn't they drop those amounts in shows that did have a minimum buy in?
How juvenile. It's as if they're saying "you can't tell me I have to pay for pussy" and then when there's the option of seeing the show for free they'll put in a good amount.
Once the novelty fades away, it will backfire on the ones that are using it for the majority of their shows.
ladyjalyn
02-19-2014, 03:06 PM
100% agree. It is super easy to turn cheap ass in to a freeloader, but try converting freeloader back in to a cheap ass...

They aren't advertising models by their real locations. They use IPs of porn watchers on porn sites to figure out the porn watchers location, then tell them that a bunch of girls in their area are waiting to fuck. These pop ups aren't new and it doesn't use the models real locations.

So about the random bells in exclusive...
I got them again tonight, and they weren't because the guy was on an iPod/iPad, I checked. They started right after I turned my phone option on, though.
The first guy had been bugging me about exclusive and phone for a while, but kept missing me. As soon as he got in, I started hearing the dinging. He confirmed that he wasn't on an iPod/Pad and said something else, and then suddenly disappeared. The same thing happened with the next guy, except that I got kicked off. SO FRUSTRATING!

This. I think you really hit the nail on the head. So on that note, here's a vulgar Discovery Channel joke about male psychology (this is not intended to be insulting to any models or their hustle, or to imply that anyone's a hooker; it's just to reflect the way some guys see/say things).
The Joke: Two guys walk into a bar called Streamate. They see three sexy ladies sitting inside.
The guys look over at the first lady, and realize that she's a fairly expensive call girl. The first guy says, "I'm not into paying for sex." His friend says, "I would love to hit that, but I'm not even going to offer her a drink. It would be like test driving a Ferrari that I can't buy."
They look over at the second lady, and realize that she's a relatively inexpensive hooker. The first guy says, "I'm not into paying for sex." The second guys says, "I'd love to get my rocks off with that, but anyone can fuck her if he's got some pocket change. Where's the fun in that?"
They look at the third lady, who seems to be "non-professional" and horny. The first guy says, "If she's not charging, I'm totally into that." The second guys says, "Yeah, I'd fuck her, too." The Discovery Channel walks over to the guys and says,"Do you know which lion gets to fuck the lioness in heat? Whichever one can prove that he's better that all the other lions." Both guys race to see who can spend the most on overpriced drinks for the third lady.
The Punchline: You and me, bb, ain't nothin' but mammals...
Punchline #2: The other two ladies were clever, and took home cold, hard cash from all the more level-headed guys that prefer to know upfront how much they are going to spend on pussy. ;)

@Magical_Hooha those girls have tapped into the male psyche...for now. It's an opportunity to make money and I suppose they're gonna work it until the wheels fall off? I think it's less competition for those sort of shows on SM and that is why it "appears" to be successful. Some say go to MFC or even CB, but over there they would have more competition.

Hi everyone,
I haven't been camming on streamate since I signed up, since my internet was shitty and I was always on 7-8th pages. But now I have better internet and I started to split cam with it, with AW. My computer can't handle adobe encoder and JCI together, so I stream from the browser. Both because of that, and because I haven't cam for almost a year, I'm always in 4th page. My paid percentage is 6% for 10 hours of online time now.
Do you know if it will get better when i cam regularly? I really don't make anyhing from streamate now, but it doesn't hurt to split cam when I'm on AW.
My room is empty most of the time, I don't even have beggars. And since I'm not popular, I'm afraid to raise my rates, it's not logical. They are 2.99/3.99 now, I know it's really low, do you think some sort of reverse strategy would work, raising your rates when you are not popular at all?
Thank you for your answers.

Hi Scarlet,
It was the same to me when I started on SM.. Nobody in my room and it was so boring I almost gived it up. It took about a month to get regulars and get better traffic. My advice is: go online as much as you can and don't give up even if its slow, try to be online atleast a few hours. It worked for me that I tryed to go online at different times during the day and night. Sometimes it still happens that nobody is talking to me or pledge my shows but believe me it's still better then annoying beggars and trolls who only try to get free stuff.

P.S.: I have the same problem with AW.. but there I couldn't get any regulars and don't know what should I do to get some paying traffic... I'm not really into making my own marketing or advertising :( ((maybe I should have posted this to the AW thread))
