I noticed a few more changes since they updated site, regarding country, before u could hoover over country code and see country full name, now is not possible anymore so unless u know the country code there is no way to know where a model is located.
This can be a bit confusing for members. Not sure if it's a good or bad thing. Then u dont see models sex anymore, if it's girl alone, girl/girl, g/b couples or transexual, so on. Good, bad?

Yesterday I was in 3 row front page...usually Iīm in the middle, maybe 4 or 5th row. Why Iīm on the bottom of the second page today?? Maybe because my connection isnīt working propperly? My average hourly is the same as always...I notice that most models remains more or less in the same spot, models who usually are around me are in the same place...Even when I logged on 20 minutes ago I was in the same spot as usual, 10 minutes later, boom! Second page. I wouldnīt be so bothered if it werenīt because I have nobody in my room...

the only THING I noticed was when u turned back to the cam, ur panties would make the pixels. lol sounds strange but it started around your ass movements , either it was fast for the cam or the encoder doesn't like the panties. I watched a bit b4 I got up the nerve to approach you. Im funny about models that I don't know and entering the room. Some are funny about that. You are beautiful btw, I didn't want to stay long bc models fuck up my flow unknowingly if I don't know them that well. Also since I was coming from SW, I wanted u to know my eye is always closed. I had no other way to know if it was you and didn't want a random chick thinking "crazy customer!" ( I would've tipped but Im kind of broke with the move and all)
^^^ this happens to me and I adjust lights or change clothes. Colors will fuck w encoders. Lights will fuck w encoders.
9 TIMES out of 10 it is the customer running other shit while watching hulu Netflix pornsites Facebook twitter . Of course most of use high end comps for sm and customers THINK they have high end, mix in other sites.. and that is where lagging can come in.
I said this in another thread about my custi w his high end 1999 MacBook.. "I have a high end, personalized MAC" ok,when he told me the specs. I asked the age bc MAC doesn't go that low in ram anymore UNLESS it was personalized to be shitty. upgrade that bitch and have a up to date high end MAC.. idiots. ;)
For my SM lappy, its high end, not MAC but I will NEVER run another site ON my sm computer. SM has its own computer. I married SM LOL kidding but sm holds me down.
WHEN I FINALLY Get a MAC (my dream is the newest beast) I will still only stream the same as I do when camming now.
I do kill the computer when not streaming, 20 damn tabs open and uploading shit to my plugs. When streaming my computer is only for camming, work only.
I ONLY stream my cam and my earnings page. when working I don't fuck around with other things much. I went through months of pure hell.. when it was finally fixed I decided SM is and always has been my B&B, I will treat it as so. The other sites including chatzy get the lower end quad core i7 LOL <----- it fucks up when running a lot of programs, this is what our customers are doing.

Ooooo I can raise my limit on sm! (custi acct)
Honestly I'm no damn tech.. I am a camgirl BUT if something, anything , it can be a piss ant, if it is running and not meant to be, that could be a issue w models truly lagging.
Check all programs and close the unused when camming
Get your shit cleaned regularly or do it yourself

So now not only is my connection acting weird, but my usb ports or camera isnt working propperly. I had to logged of an on like 7 times in an hour or so, obviously my time in paid dropped a lot, I got disconnected in the middle of 2 exlusives...does anybody if this can hurt my placement?
temptingmodel
05-14-2014, 11:33 PM
your not considered online when NOT online, kwim? I wouldn't think it would hurt. it will hurt $$ and this may cause to fall rank? Im not sure (speaking from experience abt $$$)
You may need a new cam . I use to replace a cam yearly but lately its been more frequent.
most systems will tell u if a port is no working, it will say something like device not installed when it has been installed for months
Ethernet ports go bad as well, causing loss of connection. it will either reconnect and ur still not connected bc you dropped the stream to sm. You have to restart everything. Ethernet did not give me a warning. I just noticed when I tripped on it, it was damaged ;) (20 bucks max to replace this) u can buy a usb Ethernet, I use this bc I ripped mine out during a show, damn cords

Well, I think everything is wrong LOL My internet wire is broken, and I have to replace the cam. My placement itīs changing like crazy because my connection itīs acting so weird...but mainly the problem happened to be that. Wire itīs cheap, but I will have to drop like 90 euros in a new cam and wait to get it because I have to buy it in Amazon (I live in a shitty town) :( At least I know now what the problem is. Thank you for your help :)

I know this is probably a stupid question... but i just need some reassurance! I only cam like a few hours a week usually during the daytime when my roommates aren't home.. so it's never really that busy.. But i started doing shower shows earlier this week that took off like crazy! That being said i have it set up for direct deposit which apparently has a minimum of $100. After like a month of starting i finally got over that $100 bridge like a couple days ago.. so will everything that i have earned over the previous like 4 weeks all be deposited in my account?

Anything you make that's less than $100 will roll over until the next week. You get paid everything owed once you hit $100.

I'm always willing to help. It s never a issue to check a stream. Many of us had spent months in encoder hell. NEVER trust what customers say. I can have custis in GS swear I am frozen when all they need to do is close tabs/refresh. Other members will comment I am not frozen and they see me fine.
It can really fuck up a sexy mentality flow if you question your own stream.

SM customers are good to me and since I "do it all" with in law they expect what they pay for.
God bless the big spenders that don't expect shit. God bless the ones that do. God bless their gold and love. I love SM, the good bad and the ugly. I am grateful everyday for this company and the people behind it.
My X called me today to tell me the site was down for customers. I knew I could go back to sleep with my heating pad.. its comforting to have a place to call home. The other sites are just my corner stores

The trolls on SM, OMG, the other day i been asked in freechat: 'can u block me?', i was intrigued & asked why, the person never took me pvt or tipped, i asked what's the matter, he/she said he just needs to be blocked then started to insult me in the hope i block him. i just kicked him out thinking he'll not return to bother me but he did saying 'not temporary kick just block me for good, i only want hotties on my favorite list'. Well, at this point i did block him as required lol. What a damn attitude, i bet he could un-favorite me on his own, right? Or not?
Another one on SM asked if i am the cleaning lady of a specific person i am not aware of, guess he talked about somebody known, Jerry something. HA! What is wrong with these people on SM, why are they soo nasty? I hate to ban people but if i have i will. The most nasty people i ever met are on SM, no other site has them soo bad.

Trolls are of more types & their approach is never the same, some are sending a long ass message full of insults then leave right away so u cant answer back, some start asking neutral questions then come up with trollish questions & comments, insults, sometimes u need a little time to figure out who u deal with.
When i am approached by people i always think of making a sale lol, it could be a weird fetish they into or i could get a tip for doing something for them, when i really understand there is a real troll i ban silently, i dont want to get mad on them, insult back or look angry, i am well aware of the fact that numerous other people are watching me that very moment & if they get negative vibes from me they might leave my room & never sign up eventually to take me for a ride lol.

I've been trying to do this too. It's hard because I have a big mouth and enjoy insulting them back but I feel like a silent ban is the best thing to actually do.
Yeah, nothing upsets a troll more than no response at all. They live for your negative responses. They hate women and try to take it out on us.
I've been absolutely terrorized in the past by trolls. They'd keep going for days, weeks and months - filling up chat boxes with the most vile text you could imagine. These guys were mentally ill. This was on an old Java site where members could sign up under a new name in a minute so I couldn't do anything about them. The silent treatment was the only way to solve the problem, but some were so bad even the silent treatment took quite a while to work.

I've gotten many good privates over the years from members in my room who took me private to save me from them.
Perhaps Party Chat could be an option for some girls overrun by trolls. Other customers can tell them where to go.
