Who is Kevin Smith?
All I know is that lately Streamate has left me feeling that I have somehow found myself in a Kevin Smith movie.

On an off topic note Ben Affleck is THE sexiest man in the world... I am drooling over those gifs. I never find celebrities hot - I think it was his role in The Town that made me have a ladyboner for him mmmmm...
... And now back to your regularly scheduled Streamate Thread

no, it doesnt take into account gold shows. I've don quite a few and it doesn't (it says it somewhere i believe). My hourly rate regarding the rate analysis is ridiculously low compared to my real hourly rate (when i compare the minutes i've been online free and paid chat with the money i've made).
All I know is that lately Streamate has left me feeling that I have somehow found myself in a Kevin Smith movie.

I had no idea who Kevin Smith was either. I used to have a Twitter follower with the name 'TheOtherKevinSmith' or 'TheRealKevinSmith' or something like that, and I thought to myself "Who the hell is Kevin Smith?" LOL.
*Sorry for the threadjack.* Uh...GO, STREAMATE!

Ok, so I just did one of the "improved" TV Goldshows. The producer sent me a pop-up message AFTER I had accepted the show request letting me know what the title was. Mine was "Live Homemade Sex Shows:
Sensual women with experience can't resist the chance to spread their legs on live TV."
So, pretty generic. I just did a normal show. However, this could be really problematic with more specific titles, especially the anal ones. :/ I wish they'd told me what the title was BEFORE I accepted the show.
They also sent me a message letting me know when I was live on TV during the countdown and which channel it was on.

The Encoder is pissing me the fuck off. I know what my webcam image looks like using, say, Skype and it's perfect. It was blurry and twitching out all night. I just lost new model status though, so I need the Encoder, phone, ratings, etc bells-and-whistles.
Making $19.76 in an hour of camming? No fucking way is this alright with me. Jesus. After taxes, that's barely better than what I was paid when I worked my old, shit day job. If not for my texting site, I wouldn't have broken to the $36 I managed. Ugh...
FIX YOUR STREAMING ISSUES DAMN YOU!
^^ same here... I'm reporting to SM like crazy. Most guys are like, hey are you wifi? you're freezing all the time... WTF! I've got the best internet, encoder and c920!!! FUCK OFF

I'm having issues tonight too, but it's not the encoder. Half the time, the Exclusive option isn't showing up, and my block options haven't been up all night. This is a major issue for me since most of my income comes from Exclusive, and my biggest spenders LOVE blocks.
The only reason I made any money today was because of gold shows. But I don't want to do any more gold shows tonight :( :( :(

Ahh so I'm not the only one seeing that! I raised my price last week after surveying and seeing the general prices were higher than they used to be, but I noticed I didn't see an exclusive rate for any of the girl's whose prices I looked at. Super weird. My guys like exclusive too, at least 50%, and I've recently made a rule that fetish, roleplay, domination has to be in exclusive. Makes it hard to enforce!

Question: I see so many girls say private is for this and that, exclusive is for this and the other. I didn't used to run my show like this, not for years, because most of my clientele is fetish & kink, and I don't like to chase off my favourites. However, when someone has a specialized request and others join private, often the others will leave instead of staying. For those who have exclusive for fetish & BDSM, etc. how do you deal with it when someone comes into private and asks for something that is just for exclusive? I also state cam2cam is for exclusive only and so often they just turn it on without reading my profile. I hate to come across as a bitch, but these rules have to be enforced. Just say it sweetly and they will come around? I imagine some get pissy and give bad ratings etc. Do you just deal with that?

i simply tell them that thats for exclusive only. 9/10 they leave rarely do they actually do it - SOME have tho but most just leave.

I playfully tease them that they aren't alone in the show and they have to share their toy with the other men in the room.
Sometimes they stay and sometimes they leave. I don't bother correcting anyone by telling them to read my profile anymore since they more often-then-not just get hostile with me when I do.
My current camgirl mantra is, 'They didn't feel the need to educate themselves to what I was offering so their entitlement is not my problem.'
As for their turning their cam on, I let them do it.....I just don't watch it. Again, their entitlement is not my problem.

I have what I do in private vs exclusive clearly written out in my profile as well as my topic. I still have idiots take me private expecting things I only do in exclusive. I just tell them, while continuing to strip or whatever I'm doing, that they need to go exclusive for that and I don't do that in GROUP shows. They usually will say okay and continue with the show in private, sometimes they say they will go exclusive then and will exit and come back for exclusive. Rarely do they leave the private, but it happens...those guys are usually the scammers trying to get everything for as little money as possible and I don't want them anyway lol.

I like that attitude! What if they *are* the only one in private at that moment and they ask for something exclusive? Do you go with it, stay with the private options or pretend there are others watching too?

My trouble is I have been letting them get specialized shows in private in first come first serve basis for a couple of years, now I have to re-educate my regs! Oh well if they're loyal they'll understand. I guess. Even regs act like entitled dumbasses too.

Yep, just tell them this is the way you're doing things now. I've changed up things I do over the years as well. They will either be flexible with you or you'll just get new regs.

I just think I have to. If I'm doing a vanilla show I can keep a crowd in private *so* much better. I can't keep letting guys hog up private time with their super-specific requests. It's not fair to me or the other guys who enter.

Is it just me or is sm glitching when it comes to customer cams? Sometimes it will work just fine, but for a majority of my custies yesterday they had problems with their cam.. They'd turn it on and it would just be black. Of course they'd get mad and keep refreshing or popping in and out of private before giving up and just leaving. Even *after* I'd convince them that we don't need it to have fun. -_- So much wasted money!!!!!!!

Today I had a regular who wasn't able to do a block session. I had them enabled, his limit was fine, he logged out and back in, he contacted support who were unable to help him! The block options were showing to other guys! Grrr.
Just logged in for a quick perv. In that time I saw there's girls with audio problems, girls are taking an age to load, sometimes timing out. I saw a gs countdown freeze just as they were about to start and then they couldn't even reset it and had to log off.

One of my custies actually stopped in the middle of an exclusive because he said it kept freezing! A bunch of guys said it was happening in every room. At least it's not our fault but it's almost worse because it's out of our hands and we're losing $ by the minute due to these issues! Grrr.

Yeah that happened also in my room; yesterday and the day before (havent worked today).
In some pvt/excl it worked and in some it didnt - just turned black or kept freezing
It turned out to give extra money though, since a lot of them kept trying and kept coming back- although I wish it would just work, that would be a muc better exp for the custies

I give them the same reply. Because of the invisible feature for members on Streamate guys have no idea how many guys could already be in the show with me already.

For me it really depends on what kind of things and on what mood I am, I guess. But I didn't know they can't see other members. Hm, interesting.

It's like they're saying "I'm gonna need you to go ahead come in tomorrow. So if you could be here around 9 that would be grrrrreaaaat, oh oh! and I almost forgot ahh, I'm also gonna need you to go ahead and come in on Sunday too, kay. That would be grrrrrrrreaaaaaat."

Ah I know there's invisible text, but I wasn't sure if the other member's names were visible in the session, whether you could see their text or not. Seems like not, based on some girl's gold shows I joined and saw her talking to members whose names I didn't see in the chat box.

I was rated 1 star by some fucktard that said he adores me and liked my show. I contacted support with screen shots and asking them to remove it. They wrote back saying no need to send screen shots, we removed it.
I thought that was so nice. Less work for me!

C2C worked just fine for me, to watch some very interesting looking gentlemen, no problem. Then, when I get a fucking hot one I'd fuck in real life in a heart beat starts undressing-both cams go blank! We try again, we both end up with the circle of doom. So, we both give up. Sigh.

I used to think that was a bad thing until I just started catering to all the guys wants in private, which made me more money. A lot of things are co-morbid with others. And chances are if you attract certain types of customers, they will all like similar things.

Do you have to tell them about the particular person who rated you badly? I never check my ratings until I'm finished, so I can only guess who might have rated me badly. It doesn't happen often, but occasionally I may get a customer who asks for something I won't do and gets pissed.

sometimes i can figure it out like if i sense they might have after something went down in a show ill give the name but the date is a most . basically the email can go something like this
hi i got a 1/2/3 star on such and such date im requesting it be removed thank you
then they get back to u the next day normally and tell u they took it down
Ok, i've been bombarding SM support with e-mails and e-mails and that's what I've got:
After telling them streaming is weird and having custies complaining about it:
SM: Let us know if the situation persists.
Me: IT FUCKING DOES*
SM: Contact us the next time you are streaming so we can look into the matter.
Me: Right now (I sent it like just about an hour later they contacted me)
SM: No answer.
Me: I will be streaming at 00:00 GMT +1 for tonight.
SM: Thank you for your e-mail. We will be looking into that right away. (supposedly they already did...)
Me: Also, I wanted to let you know that some other performers are suffering from the same problem.
SM: We have not been receiving reports of any unusual activity that could cause that.
Please keep us posted if the issues continue. Have a good day!
WHAT THE FUCK.
I mean, first, weren't they supposed to look into it already? I have to tell them like what, 154645 times?
Second: Ladies, didn't you contact SM support? Maybe it's time to send some anthrax to their inbox from everyone who's losing potential clients over those issues until they acknowledge the fucking problem.
ARGH.

You can see the rating in the details about shows you had that day, you click on recent earnings for example when streaming, after pvt, and when you click on the name of the customer, you have the option to add notes and then there is sessions, and there you can see if he left a rating and/or comment

So.... my traffic on streamate has been horrible this week. I'm talking about 1 person coming in every 5 mins and then leaving almost instantly. Maybe because I took a week off because I moved and then my period started. But its VERY VERY frustrating. Is this happening to anyone else? Maybe my room is kicking guys I don't know....i'm just very frustrated and stressed over streamate
