Yup. They WANT the reaction, they WANT to know you're annoyed. That's why--on cam and off--if someone is harassing me I don't tell them that they're an asshole or a jerk because that's exactly what they're going for, they're trying to be an asshole so calling them one isn't going to offend them at all. What I do instead is just give them a grossed-out look and tell them that they're a weirdo. THAT will wound them because no one wants to be 'a weirdo.' It also establishes that I'm not taking whatever it is that they're saying personally because I just attribute it to them being a weirdo.
This reminds me of another good way to disarm them if you can manage it - a big smile and LOL gets them very confused.

I give reactions not expected. I can pat myself on the back for insulting with flattery.
Troll:YOU COW!
you forgot to put CASH before COW , its CASH COW moooooooo
Troll: you belong in the BBW section
Me: remove me from your favorites then, you favorite me to insult me?(boohoo) looking for a free show but you are the most wonderful person and I love you, so does God.

Say it simple, don't get mad, treat it like reg convo

I always wonder when being asked to block...maybe it's a wife or girlfriend who has stumbled upon their significant others favorite list and goes about getting all of his fav models to block him? What a cruel bitch. Lol
I never thought of that but the last part is hilarious, what a cruel bitch lol

It wasn't just your Ginger, I kept getting kicked off, (and I NEVER have connection issues) then couldn't get back on, couldn't get in to read emails. just kept spinning, sent a PM to SM on twitter, they never responded. I was splitting with KL and asked help if my stream was alright and they said looked good... so SM was having issues. Then a bit later a reg asked if the site was down because he couldn't log in. so now I know it wasn't must me. I did go and check other girls some where fine, some I couldn't get to load..

I am so confused... I logged onto my customer account (which I haven't logged into in a while), and I had received a message from a top model sending me her vids from a GS on 5/9? I joined this models show once like almost 2 years ago when I started camming (but even then, never messaged her for vids). Ive never messaged anyone from that account actually. I looked in my sent/trash/drafts and there were no sent messages. There were no other charges on my account other than those I did myself, so I dont think anyone "hacked" me. Even if I did join a show recently that included vids, I never messaged her. Im so confused ?? lol
Oh, and whats super weird is that at the bottom its says its in reply to a username other than mine (and a username ive never used) with the user number right next to it. But somehow it came to me?? That's just weird to me unless she has some special privilege to message users first and just *accidentally* sent them to me.

its a new feature they are testing "mass emails" yes, it will go to the beginning of your CAM LIFE or 30, 60, 90 days etc exclusive members, free chat members, gold show or all members
Its great for advertising :)
the only draw back is not a certain group, like those that buy extra in gold shows at once.

Lol, I was testing out my new customer account and was looking in on the new models. Clicked on this chicks room and saw her and two other people. Umm, apparently they were two officers and were asking her about drugs and needles. I think something about probation was mentioned? Looked like she was camming from a dorm room. Girl was realllllly young looking. Anyway, they handcuffed her, grabbed her purse and a jacket and then left. I don't think the officers knew she was camming and I don't think her arrest had anything to do with camming either. Her feed was still on for another ten minutes or so after, but I had to leave so not sure when or if it closed lol. Definitely the craziest thing I've seen on streamate. Sorry if there are typos I'm typing on my iPhone.

Has anyone else noticed a MAJOR decrease in earnings this week? I'm not sure what's going on for me. I've been putting in the same hours and I'm not even half way to my goal and it's FRIDAY! Just want to make sure it's not something on my end. I've been having a hard time since they updated the site honestly.

I put in the most hours I ever have in a week this week and earned less than half of my regular hourly. It's bad. Really bad.

Yeah... I think it's more than just playoffs and nice weather. There's something else going on...
I haven't worked on SM all week. What's the point in pissing myself off by making less than half the hourly I'm used to.
I'll try tonight just because I don't want to go an entire week without streaming on there... but I'm not feeling very hopeful.

I'm with you girls with the slowness this week on SM, but last night I made $95 because I made myself stay on even though no one was talking. Eventually, I got two really long exclusives, one with a really hot buff guy!! So don't give up hope. I haven't made great money this week, but it's bound to get better eventually. Well, just trying cheer you gals up!

I would normally agree with you... but I've been on the site long enough to be through plenty of periods of sports, nice weather, and game releases.... and never in the years I've been on the site has it ever been like this for me.
I'm not thinking this is the gloom and doom and the end of Stremate by any means... but it's something on their end. Glitches, something. It has to be.

I swear SM has little fairies flying around leaving sparkle.
I had a guy tip me 50 gold to bribe him or whatever, and that is not me, there is a lot of work in blackmail , 50 gold is not going to cut it. I get tired of guys always trying to get me off site.
I enjoy working my way up and having a legit rep on a cam company , yes I am loyal bitch.
I say to him, 50 gold is not enough for the hard work and of course he argued back I get more off site. I say if it wasn't for the site you would've not met me. I like to log on do my thing and get off , that is why the site gets a cut.
Next a member throws out a cpl hundred .. just a cpl, no biggie but enough to allow to put the other 50 gold in check. He is showing you how things are done on the mate.
I go to send him a bunch of goodies and his account says
ERROR: Invalid recipient(s) in field: 'To'

I agree. I'm on page one and it is super slow, like hardly any traffic. Granted there are slow times but not like this. It could be glitches from the new design.

Is it a brand new email account too? That happened to me last month when I made fresh email and cam accounts for my new adult name. I emailed support and they told me to check all my junk email settings, make sure my email account was verified, and to apply again. That worked.
NB: I did have to change the username I'd tried to sign up with though. Which pissed me off a little.

Perhaps try it the old fashioned way without the encoder.
I have noticed a drop of about 20% per hour using the rate analysis tool since the site makeover, but my other sites pick up the slack.

^Slow, but not noticed any glitch. Last sunday I made almost 400, this sunday barely the half. Good thing that I made ok starting the week because the rest of it was awful, glitches and issues with my end. I´m not sure if it was my end or the site, but friday I had a 60/90 seconds delay, and I didn´t realize until I came back from the bathroom and I saw my reg saying "stop, stop!"...Almost the last 2 minutes of the goldshow in freechat :( Thankfully I didn´t got banned.
