I just noticed it, too! It's adorable! Now if only we could have like... little spiders dangling or ghosts floating across our windows in free chat. That'd be the most festive thing evar! :D

I just signed for Payoneer on Streamate for direct ACH deposit, does anyone know what day of the week Streamate usually pay? Prior to this, I was getting paid by check through regular mail and it usually comes every Monday. Thank you!

Something seems very wrong with the way the number of guests are being shown in chat vs what WE see (our actual camming window as opposed to what the guys see!).
According to guys in my chat who were confused at why NO ONE was tipping me - they apparently saw 100 - 200 fellow guests in my room!! Then when I peeked on my own cammodels link to see, I too saw there were supposedly hundreds of guests in my room.
What I saw (through my streaming page) was like 20 guests!!!
I also saw a top girl in a GOLD show countdown earlier where it showed 200+ guests, with a twohundred-something target, a min left, and only like three guys had tipped her! I feel sure she had a similar glitch of some kind because there definitely did NOT seem to be 200+ guests in her chat by the way things were going!
WTF is going on? O_o I've actually moved from SM to MFC again the past few days it has been so, so bad.
Also my typing is delayed (the letters aren't showing up immediately as I type - there is a horrible delay, even no encoder!) - this doesn't happen to me on MFC. May be an internet prob, may be a problem with SM, so I thought it was worthwhile bringing up anyways.

I'll just post this again here incase others don't read the other thread...
If you have "free chat" enabled then you will have a 3rd window of "free chat" users that will show below your regular "guest chat" window. So you might have 20 guys in your guest chat (these are members with credit cards on file) and 180 in your "free chat" (these are free accounts with no credit card on file). BUT - the other guys cannot see the difference. All they see is the total number of all members, they can't see that only 20 of them actually have the ability right now to pitch in.

My new thought... I think they changed it to show ALL people viewing your cam whether they are logged in with an account or not. So, all members, free users, and people who just go to the main page and don't log in but view a cam.
Sort of how on MFC you don't have to log in with an account but it still shows you as like guest123456 or something.
That's just my guess. :)

Hmmm...interesting - I'll be back to work tomorrow, so it'll be interesting to see if this new count affects me too...
If it IS showing everyone viewing - logged in or not - I wonder if that is to try and make SM a little more like MFC in terms of people in a room.

so this is something new I guess? I wonder if they think that having more people in the rooms will prompt guys to pledge? I know alot of guys won't pledge if they don't think there arn't enough guys in the room to make the goal.

Are you girls who are having this guest count problem using Chrome or Firefox? And if you're using Firefox, is it because Flash recently started crashing whenever you opened the streaming page?
I recently started using Firefox instead of Chrome, because of the Flash problem, and, I think that is when things started going downhill for me...
Also keep in mind that Firefox may not have saved any settings you would have had in Chrome, thus the "Allow free guest chat" box may be set to "Yes" because it's a new browser. Like how it doesn't save room topics etc either.
I'll change the setting tonight and see if things go any better. I am not getting my hopes up though because the problem doesn't seem related to how badly I'm actually doing. People either tip or they don't tip.. And they haven't been doing anything other than pissing me off with begging and freeloading.

Ok so I've been having this prob for awhile, and I may be the only one, but...
I swear, for the past few months, after like the first 10 minutes of streaming, I get "you must be logged in to view this page" in place of the profile pop up when I click to see a guy's profile. The page is just white with those words at the top. No option to sign back in (although I AM signed in!).
I can still kick and block, but I'd have to log out and log back in to see their profiles again until it says I have to log in AGAIN...
Same thing happens with the Recent Earnings tab at the top. After awhile, when I click it I get a pop up of the SM models login page instead of the recent earnings pop up.
I go ahead and log in via the pop up, but it takes me to my main profile page where of course I can click on My Reports>My Earnings. It hasn't always been like this, and I don't know why it's happening now.
Also, even after I've signed in via that pop up, it still won't let me see profiles, and I still get sent to the SM login page when I click Recent Earnings.
It's aggravating when a guy comes in my room with a # and note, # only or note only, and I can't see his profile. I've gotten guys whom I recognize the name, but I can't read the note so i have to ask what we did last time, when I should already know seeing as there's a freakin 3 next to his name!
Guys who come in my room like every time I'm on, I remember because I see them all the time, you know?
Thankfully, no one has gotten offended by my lack of memory, but it's so annoying!
Btw, I'm using Google Chrome.

^^^ Are you logged in to your profile in another tab to see your e-mails? I just tell people that I can't see e-mails while streaming (which we aren't set up to do, and which I think is really dumb), because if I try to log in on another tab to check them, then I get the same problem you are having.

No, though I do use Internet Explorer to read emails etc. because I try to use Chrome only for streaming, but it happens even if i don't do that. It just doesn't make sense that I can see their profiles for the first however many minutes every single time then it tells me I must be logged in to see it.

I haven't messed with the settings. I even did a factory out-the-box recovery last week and reinstalled everything.
I just went to look at Chrome's settings page, but i didn't see any option to time out on websites.
I'm gonna try to stream on IE and see if the same thing happens there, too.

I got up to 814 in my room last night, that I was able to screen shot. Hubby said it got up to 850! :D
But I asked someone at SM last night, and was told it's a bug that will be fixed on Monday. I think the bug is that it's showing all viewers logged in or not, but he didn't specify that exactly.

Marina I have Payoneer ACH for Streamate and the notification that payoneer has received my Streamate money comes on friday afternoons and then it goes to my bank account very very early tuesday morning (i'm guessing around 3-4 am but don't know for sure.) I miss getting paid on fridays but it is so worth not having to pay the small % each time I use my payoneer card to purchase something.

Thank you! I'm using my debit card which is linked directly to my checking account so there's no need for me to get a Payoneer debit card and pay extra fees. I know they do charge like $3 for each ACH direct deposit but I am fine with that since I have a roommate and would hate for her to google Streamate.

Can people tell when I block them because I am so bored with these cheapies that I am starting to ban them just for giggles?

-When you block someone out of free chat or private, they get a message that says "You have been permanently banned from viewing this performer's show."
-If you block them right after they've left (like if you already have them blocked from messages but then finish them off after they leave by using the block list) AND if they've never been in your private session at all, then they cannot see that they've been blocked & they cannot view your page at all (as long as you block from chat AND messages).
-If they have been in private before & you block them from chat but not from sending messages, they can still see your page and click on it, but they will get a message saying they're blocked & will have an option to message you.
-If they've paid you but you have them blocked from messages AND from chat, they cannot see your page... unless they go to their payment history. They can then click on the link to your page there, but they still cannot view your chat.
-If they are completely blocked and cannot view your page while signed in, they can still view it while not signed in, but obviously can't interact with you.

how do u block from messages first? for me only after i blocked them from my room does it ask me if i wanna block messages too
Your Evil Twin
10-28-2012, 04:45 AM
You can't block from messages first (as far as I can tell anyway). But after blocking them from chat you can go to your blocked list and you can click on block messages and unclick block chat and then save it. If you unclick both chat and messages you loose them from your blocked list and have to wait for them to come back to block them again.

On the "blocking" topic - it is also worth mentioning that when you kick someone, it just says "so and so left the chat" in your free chat, but when you block them, it says "so and so was blocked/banned" (I can't remember the exact wording).
So the rest of the room will also know that you blocked that person - if you are a little too ban-happy, it can reflect badly sometimes....I like that people can see it because I only ban on a three-strikes rudeness - it acts as a reminder that I DO block if someone is consistently rude. But if you are blocking for no reason, or often, it may put some guys off.

I never knew that they could see who was getting blocked. I've been in models' rooms when I'm sure they were blocking people and I've never seen it happen. Then again, I'm not logged in, so I guess maybe the guys who are logged can see. Good to know though, because I AM ban happy.

I rarely if ever have to ban or block custies because I do regulate what's acceptable and what's not in my room. The trolls usually would just leave on their own.
When you're in classic chat, can other custies see if you kicked someone?
Your Evil Twin

I have had some guys in my free chat who start having a conversation with me (one-sided) where they are announcing what they are doing to my body in their mind. Lately the texted fantasies of these guys in my free chat have been pretty vulgar. Don't get me wrong, I am okay with vulgar when I am on the clock, but these guys are watching me and apparently stroking themselves with one hand while they expertly type with the other these lawn drawn out play-by-play scenarios where they eventually announce, "Oh you just made me cum BB!"
So I ban these guys.
I ban guys for commenting on my hair. Example, I can tell your real hair color is _____. *Ban*
If a guy comes into my chat and makes any negative comments (what-so_ever) about the way I look... *Ban*
And now when guys come into my chat and ask me to do free things for them like take off my shoes or put on different underwear (etc.) I am going to suggest going private and then if that doesn't interest them then *Ban*
I had a guy come into my chat and ask me to go get my son and commit incest on cam *Ban*
(And I don't even have a son)
But now I am thinking of banning a new breed of cat, the one that asks far too many personal questions without ever spending any money. *Ban*

I'm really sorry if this has been covered already and I've tried to get a 100% solid answer by looking through this thread and doing a search on here for the info but I am still unsure. If someone could tell me - are we allowed to give customers XXX photos if they contact us through SM mail? like - if you do a gold show, can we give the highest gold pledger some photos for their pledge? I wouldn't ask for an email or do anything offsite, but can we reply to the SM mail with a photo attachment or do these photos have to be approved first?

The guys who go into free chat, trying to be slick by asking models to describe the first time they had sex, and to go into descriptive detail about blah, blah, blah.....SMH. They need to just stop trying to get free sexy/dirty talk in free chat, and either go private or call a phone sex operator. This is just another example of how some guys abuse free chat.
