^^So please ladies, don't give me a hard time for suggesting another approach to room control. My method works very well on all the sites I use.
I honestly don't think anyone on here is trying to give you a hard time. It just rubs some people (myself included) the wrong way when it seems like you're often trying to shove your beliefs/methods down their throats. If you feel that "banning members only invites trouble," you're entitled to have that opinion and apply it to your room. But when other models feel differently than you do and are satisfied with the method they've been using, please just accept that we all do things differently and let it go. To go back and forth with them about what's right/wrong is pointless, and just results in locked threads and infractions/bans given out. :( I think this is one of those times when we should all just 'agree to disagree' and move on.

Count yourself lucky. I've had some incredibly bad experiences of harassment over the years with returning trouble makers relentlessly stalking me.
I must admit I am not sure how much it has to do with luck. On Streamate once you ban someone they would have to register for a new account with an entirely different credit card. Most guys are just too lazy to have to pull out their wallet to continue to harass me. LOL!

I cosign this message. On lighter and more positive note, thanks to Streamate I was able to afford McDonalds today. I treated myself to a cheese burger with no cheese, a medium fries and a large diet coke. Being thick never felt so good!

If you ladies ever wanna see me go to town on a troll, feel free. I think it's funny as hell.
The times I do ban are when people are being just downright creepy and weird and I just feel unwell and for me that takes A LOT.
Lisa Lampanelli inspired a lot of my sass. Some people find me offensive but it's no more offensive than the dudes trying to get attention they obviously aren't getting in real life.
For example:
some fucknut: "EWWWW...seriously?"
me: "You just looked down your pants with the light on didn't you?"
some cheap fucknut: "$8 a minute! Are you serious???"
me: "If you prefer enjoying your booze out of a brown paper bag that is your choice and I will not stop you but here we serve fine aged scotch in real glasses. If that does not suit your taste or wallet there are dollar menus available for you and I'm pretty sure they got a drive thru."
You can't tell me that ain't fun to do.

No, you'll have to do free chat until they take your pvt/exclusive!

There is, but its not automatic. You have to have your own website and then you have to write sm to get permission for this. I'm not sure of all the details, something to do with your own webpage and a link to your streaming page on sm.

its called the external chat button but like lemon berry said u need to have a website with pvt billing and a fanclub or at least a pw protected area then u could just hit it and ull be in pvt all the time technically then if someone wants to see you theyd have to go into pvt

i was considering this another cam girl in gen chat offered to make me a simple page just so i could get it. the idea was to get set up with zombio and then make the website since the setup fees on zombio are more reasonable then other places

I've heard that the problem is that guys can still rate you when you use the external chat button (unlike in GS where they can't rate you.) I have definitely heard some complaints from camgirls that guys will leave low ratings all the time because they can't be bothered to read the show description, which then of course lowers their placement. :(
^^ i don't think i'm going to have my own site in the near future, maybe if i'll stick to camming for a long time and becomes my main income. either way, that's good information too. i liked the idea of AW bc it's an eu site and bc it allows you to turn off free chat, but i'm getting used to it anyway :)

Dear Streamate,
I've been lazy my whole life, what about the possibility of making money offline too without using the cammodels link? Why other sites have a tip jar where custies used to tip me offline and you dont? =__=
But it's been great for me too this week (finally!), so I won't complain that much :x
When I'm done with exams I'll try to do some weekly challenge, it seems so motivating!

Any one know if it's worth attempting to make a new account on SM, or should I just keep logging in a bit everyday(along with using the encoder etc) to try and work my way back up out of the abyss? I just sit in SM for 15 min chunks, then one person will come in and just leave... and thats how two hours will pass...

How badly are you buried in the pages? Is it a star issue, like someone gave you a bad rating? Do you go on when lots of girls are on?

I've tried at different times of the day, and at one point i couldn't even find myself, like I'm BURIED BURIED. When I first started SM i had a shit computer and this was like last year, so i stopped to retry later. I have the basic starting out four stars and never a rating. I just logged back in when I restarted camming(surprised it wasn't deactivated.) I was able to find myself if i filtered the search by US and English speaking only, at the top of page 2. But otherwise I can't find me at all.

It starts to drop under the required klbs. It works on other sites but on Streamate it has glitches. I'm getting frustrated that its been a year and a half since upgrades and these issues are still happening on and off.

I've been having a lot of issues with the encoder freezing my feed, not responding and randomly getting blocky for the past two days. I checked my connection, background processes and reinstalled it and I'm still having trouble with it. I've tried everything I can think of on my end. I just may have to stop using it until it gets sorted out.

Just my worthless 2 cents advice. When a guy comes into my chat whether it is private or exclusive and barks an order or asks for something I do not do I BAN him immediately with no warning. These assholes will give you a 1 or 2 and if you get enough of those you are going to be on page 8 or whatever. You get the idea. Also find the rate where you still get shows but not constantly. You will still make as much. But the quality of guys will go up. So instead of 20 shows to make $$ you will do 9 shows. Please do not be afraid to ban. Don't feel like you have to work for everyone. If you need more money and are afraid to ban guys because you aren't getting many shows then drop your prices so you will get more shows and then BAN the assholes when you get them.
I have found that the guys that aren't worth my time:
1. ask for previews in free chat
2. ask where I live
3. demand things I don't do
4. start telling me the dumb shit they want to do with me sexually instead of paying to tell me.
5. send me pictures of their "prize" cock with no tips
Guys that are worth my time take me private/excl right away and know the drill. They're very nice and sometimes tip after the show.
I find that the more weeds I get out of my free chat there is more time for me to focus on guys that have paid or might pay that I haven't worked for yet.
You can do it bb!! If it doesn't feel like a fan, BAN!!!! LOL

^^ Perfectly stated Mare!! love Your list, and agree 100%!:thumbsup:
After camming practically everyday for over 3 years, everything You noted has been my reality, especially on SM.
In my case, the trolls just take up way too much of my chat space, and then It's hard to read what a reg has said, or a new potential custie.
I have over 200 people banned. They are the same ones who, even after I wait a while and unban them, will come back and do the same thing!
Plus, I see all the same trolls going into other girl's rooms, and asking them the exact same questions, so I know it's not just directed towards me.

All the performers having issues cant all be at fault, that's not possible. Streamate seems to be the one common site many performers only have issues on. Encoder works on multiple sites but for me it only has issues on Streamate. I have a business account for internet so it is fast as hell and my computers are more than what Streamate requires. I never had an issue on there until they started all their upgrades, that's when all these people started mentioning issues.
