They reworded it, that section doesn't exist anymore. They just own the stuff we broadcast & upload on there. Think they realised there was no possible way they could enforce that rule on thousands of independent contractors, some of whom had been camming with them for years and creating content all over the internet under the same name.

I'm glad they took that out of the contract. I dunna how they thought they were going to get away with owning our names when alot of us had our names/persona's before joining SM. Plus like you said alot of us brand ourselves which I'm pretty sure they were aware of. Lol they probably thought that we weren't going to read the contract, I don't think they were expecting an "outrage".

Wishing we could have heard back from Pornlaw before we have to sign. I have no choice. I have to work. But no more content goes up and I changed all my other names.

I'm dearly hoping that you girls are right. It was so incredibly dead for me today. I got on for an hour with zero privates or tips, then did a short voyeur show for all of $2.10 my cut. Can you ladies say ouch? I legitimately did my voyeur show as a 'study voyeur,' but I was definitely looking at signing up for MFC or CB because no way can I keep doing these crappy shifts with so many bills to pay.

I've never done a summer of camming. Is this normal? I mean, I can understand it getting slower with warmer weather, but this seems like pure insanity....

I am glad it was not just me. Seems like the past week has been dead. I have not been on as much as I worked vanilla job Monday but I am at like $100 for the week... which sucks after the past few weeks :(

Okay, seriously, traffic is still being weird for me. Like, plenty of dudes popping in and out, but only for a few seconds. It's been like this for days AND guys are paying into my gold shows and then immediately logging off for the voyeur option too. That NEVER happens to me. Is anyone else seeing guys with connection problems? Could it be an issue on my end?

HOLY SHIT I THINK I'M ABOUT TO KILL SOMETHING!

I just checked my stream on my laptop. The lag? Something like 30 seconds. Audio was all over the place, but the 'Rankings' page showed excellent for everything. Okay, maybe it's the encoder then? Yeah, switched to just streaming in HD and LOST my audio, my widescreen, AND my image to customers. No fucking wonder they're all in and out--the entire site is glitching! I actually had my last customer ask me where I'd gone (referring to video/audio) before he got kicked from the room! What the actual fuck SM!?!

I have had a few guys get d/c during a show . Same here...lots of traffic but none or very few of my regulars and then none of them buying shows. A few new peeps taking shows but very short ones this week. Very odd...

The same is for me too, lots of people but only in and out. Do not stay long enough to say "Hi" to them. I can't check my stream, streamate is not visible in my country, but i start to think, that something is wrong with stream. At least i hope it is stream, not me, i can't be so ugly or scary.

I was having issues like this the other day, and put it down to the encoder/Streamate because I was pixelating for some guys, my audio was out of sync for others, some were disconnected suddenly, and I've seen top models who usually have excellent streams freezing up this week.
Then a thunderstorm hit my town, which screwed me up even more. But SM has definitely been glitchy as fuck this week.

I dislike streamate, seriously 35%? No thank you! Go check out desirabledolls.com they look like Streamate but are in no way affiliated, payout is 60% with bonuses, the site launches June 15th but model registration is now open! The site looks pretty sweet, I've already signed up, I just hope the traffic is there once I start.

it probably wont be as new sites need to build up. but thats why u do promo and market yourself

desirabledolls.com looks like a white label or a studio or something tho. its the EXACT same layout as SM its either tied into SM somehow or they're using the same template trying to compete. looking at the site tho i dont see a studio sign up or log in page anywhere on the bottom. thats one of the things i look for in a studio site. so either they dont allow studio sign ups or somethings up .

You've made 4 posts here and they were all promoting this new website, so forgive me if I don't take your word for it. :) I'll stick with SM's traffic, advertising & reputation over a website I've heard almost nothing about.

60% of nothing is nothing, better the devil you know, etc. etc. Good luck though!

Grr for some reason my Payoneer global transfer has been sent to my Payoneer card instead. I got an email wanting me to accept it for $2/$5. Currently number 20 in the queue to talk to a Payoneer rep. Is it just me?

OK, seemingly this was caused by Streamate or at least the main company changing their name... Payoneer said they could have cancelled the load and changed it to bank transfer but it would have cost me a delay of about 6 business days!! So I'm sucking it up and dealing with the card load this week, and it should be fixed for the next payment.

I wouldn't even consider signing up to that site at all.

When you click Model Details it is definitely copied from Streamate's layout. When SM's lawyers are done with them for copying the layout exactly there won't even be a site.

In case anybody else is in the situation to not have Payoneer card loaded yet, just so u know Payoneer wants us again to select the option of how u want ur card loaded, immediate or within 2 working days, i was waiting for my money to be available but they showed like processing, luckily i double clicked the 'Processing load' entry & the option to select loading method came up. Looks like Payoneer did a reset to these selected load options, they slightly changed site interface i notice today so be aware of this situation ladies, Good luck!

My audio is behind my video. Is this because I am streaming with my built-in cam (and will be for the next month) or can I play around with encoder settings to minimise this? Usually my stream begins absolutely fine, but within a few minutes they're complaining my audio lags.

I just keep telling these guys to pretend they're watching a kung-fu movie, where the words aren't in sync with the lips. I'm not just a camgirl. I'm a cultural cinematic experience, with bonus anal.

You need to lower your frame rate. Had this exact thing happen to me and dropping it to 25 fps fixed the problem.

Someone in verified said this was happening to them and others they were viewing on the site, so it might not be you, but again... Streamate.

I've got an autotext threatening freeloaders in my room with GoT spoilers if they don't at least say hi. It either clears them out, or I get a convo going.

I was so sad about that GoT episode (traumatized, really) but seeing this picture made me happy again!

Nothing new, hun. If you've been on the site for too long without being logged in/signed up, you get that message.

Wish I had a printer because I would sticky-tape that pic over my C2Cs! Then I might sound genuine when I'm like "oh you're cute! I'm so lucky! Look at you!" Dayum.

I knew what to expect (tbh I am a walking spoiler, after the Red Wedding I was like "nope. nopenopenope." and spent a week on the wiki) but seeing it on screen still shocks me. Was not prepared for it.

lol yesss that's a great idea, lol.

I had NO IDEA that would happen. I thought it was OBVIOUS. --spoilers deleted-- But I guess I forgot what show I was watching. GoT fans can't have nice things apparently.

Sorry for the derail y'all, nerds nerdin it up in here.

EDIT EDIT QUOTE SPOILERS.

Haha I didn't realise how much I would like Oberyn, reading something on a website isn't the same as loving a character. Am repeatedly blown away by the show. I'm ridiculously excited about the next two episodes, if what I think is going to happen happens this season, I'll be a happy girl. Sort of. Happy but not happy, but happy. <-- Life as a GoT fan.

To keep it slightly on subject: my fav SM top model is a huge GoT nerd, I always love being in her room when she's talking about it. There's a cam competition where fans can pledge towards you & place bets on which characters will feature most, isn't there? I'm too new rn, but if I were a top row girl you'd better knoooooow I'd be winning that. ;) Haha.

In case anybody else is in the situation to not have Payoneer card loaded yet, just so u know Payoneer wants us again to select the option of how u want ur card loaded, immediate or within 2 working days, i was waiting for my money to be available but they showed like processing, luckily i double clicked the 'Processing load' entry & the option to select loading method came up. Looks like Payoneer did a reset to these selected load options, they slightly changed site interface i notice today so be aware of this situation ladies, Good luck!

You are a lifesaver!! Thank you! I was so confused about the payment saying it was processing. You're the bomb!

OH I correct my previous comments, two of my fav models are fans. ;D Lovelovelove. I would like my character to be on Arya's List. That would be a privilege.

Streamate-wise, I've got a block exclusive date in 30 minutes and really can't be bothered. But I need the money. I am likely to be working throughout the night too, and early morning, and every second that I'm not busy parenting. Debt is fun. Lucky I never sleep. And thank god for SM guys loving English accents. These dudes think I'm posh. Ha.

Yeah every stream I've viewed so far is choppy and delayed.
