I've been camming on SM for 2 years...and I watch my placement very closely, and others around me as well. I've never seen it flip so suddenly. I'm always around the same people, and I've been moving up slowly but surely lately. Everything is all mixed up today.

I also noticed the last time I was on cam (a few days ago) that my placement was WAY off. Normally I can go as long as a month and not budge from my spot, but I took maybe 3 days off last week and when I came back I was drastically lower.

I had more than 10 cam sites to work on at a time.... but I started paying attention and it's pretty flippant.. some girls are just doing well than other girls .. etc etc.. there a few dirty lil things I wont even bother to discuss.....

Oh I hear ya! Trust me, I know. It isn't even that my placement has changed that much...because I know it fluctuates so much depending on who's online and how many girls are on. I usually gauge my placement by the girls that are around me...that way I know if I've actually dropped or risen. But today, the girls that I usually see around me were all over the place...some up much higher, some down much lower. That's what struck me weird. Something just seems off.

How do you check placement? I've never been able to figure that out...

Also omg traffic is sooo sloooow!!! and ive been getting like double the amount of beggars the past couple days.. wtf? i keep a saved message saying beggars will be kicked but every time i use it everyone leaves lol. fucking slimeballs. w/e they're a waste of time anyways. maybe i should say it in a nice way... a busy room is at least a bit more fun?

Just go to streamate.com and look lol. I made a members account so I would get an accurate view. But yeah, you just look on the website to see where you're placed at when you're online.

Keep seeing advertisements for StreamateTV on TV when I'm out at the bars. Like, every 5-10 minutes. My roomie and her boyfriend (who know I cam there) both start laughing and pointing hysterically. My other friends who don't know I cam and boy (who doesn't know where I cam but is aware I did it/still occasionally do) have yet to notice, thank god, but I'm torn between comical, inside-joke style laughter and horror that I could possibly end up on their advertising campaign without knowing it and see it at the bars. Like, spit out your drink moment much?

It was slow as a snail. I ended up with 1,4$ for 2 hours, lol. Not a single Freebie ._. that was the most strange. Also, I lose a exclusive of a long roleplay because I was lagging (or so the boy told me, the others saw me just ok).
In the other hand I had a nice chat about anime with a guy who promised me to return so i have that going for me which is nice :').

Maybe I have to try other hours to be online!

Yes that's why I came here.. My cam is on serious lag mode!! I even upped the FPS on the encoder and it didn't work.. I mean it is so lagging from like 60 seconds ago...lol..I logged off all the other sites tested again.. same thing. uggh... there is just no possible way to stream like this...
Well? Not using the encoder is lagging ALOT less than with.. what's up with that??? i never had this problem before...hmmm..

Wow! Mine wasn't lagging a minute but pretty bad. I did have to stream without the encoder which is strange I always use the encoder. I wonder if I missed an update or something, lord knows adobe updates their shit every damn day

Placement does seem to be quite a bit off today. Ladies that were normally behind me in placement are in front of me and some ladies that were in front of me are now behind me. Very strange. Also...traffic sucks. I guess that's to be expected with the holiday though.

I ended up giving up for the week..so many freeloaders. regulars asking me if I'll skype instead..wtf? Even if there were some legal way to do it, I'd still charge 'em $5 a minute! Worst week on record for me. I needed a break anyhow. Between hurricane Arthur, world cup, etc..it just has been too depressing to get online. Good luck to the rest of you. May next week be better!

I can't find myself on the SM listings at all right now. I have my region blocked, but I use an IP blocker on my laptop so I can check my placement periodically as I stream (control freak here, ladies). I could search for myself (so the IP masker IS working fine), but wasn't listed under New Models (just got a new account) or any of my other regular categories. What the actual fuck? I got decent traffic for a holiday and didn't see much lagging from my laptop when I checked my stream, but I can't figure out the placement issue.

Also, found my first live-and-in-person chick with a dildo up her vagina in free chat. Is there a button to report these women that I'm missing? If we have to follow the rules, I'm happy to tell support they need to make everyone do it. Ugh!

If you go to profile overview (main page when you log in) and under that is personal info. Click on that and go down to pubic hair and you can pick hairy on there. If you play around with the options under Kinky Attributes, you may be able to bring up hairy under Categories. I found out clicking BDSM allows me to pick bondage under categories.

^^ Don't worry love, the Encoder is often a special-needs piece of software.

On your model dashboard, click on the 'Support' tab and 'HD Encoder' will be the second option. It's the official SM guide to the thing. Use that.

Hello I have been away too long lol.
Today has been slow but then it is a Saturday and I don't do days and am on page 3 because of that :(
Hopefully tonight I will go back up.
I was wondering on the support tab on the main login page it has a requirements on the tab and I go to that I have never noticed it before and when I look at my security questions and tax account info it says submitted the rest is all approved does that stuff never approve or something?
Also my topic box still does not let me rewrite anything and is still greyed out and support won't help.

To see yourself all the time all you do is resize your browser window so the encoder preview is to the left (or wherever you want to put it I guess, I like to simulate the in-browser version as closely as possible) but you can still see your chat. You should be able to see everything at once.

So I had my geo restrictions set to my city for awhile and I took them off and I still cant find my placement at all. I go through like 15 pages before it gets to the models who are offline and can't find myself anywhere. Anyone have this problem before? I dont have a membership. Thinking i will get one though.

Girls T_T I'm having a problem!! Yesterday and today I tried to cam for a few hours and when somebody wants an exclusive or a private...BAMF!! My internet disconnects, the whole wi-fi!!.

I'm losing clients and money and...unff, i'm so frustated right now!!!. I had a boy with a foot fetish who bought a excl twice, poor thing!

My internet was strange since two weeks ago disconnecting like twice a day...but it's hard to believe it only happens now when i'm on pvt and never in free chat ._.

Ok, already.contacted with support, no streaming for me today :(.

Have a good night, ladies!! Avenge me!!

I feel like its been over 24 hours, but it could have been yesterday. I'll check again tomorrow. Thank you!

What Raine said about waiting is correct. Also, I keep my geo restrictions in place 100% of the time, as placement checking is a crap reason to take them off for me personally (my town is too pervy and too small to risk making it any easier for them to find me by accident). If you want, PM me and I'll tell you how to check without taking off restrictions (because why make it easier for the pervy guys lurking here to creep on us by saying it in the open...).

As for checking placement itself, it's easiest to do if you A) make sure you know your profile picture (static versus live-capture) to know exactly what to look for (I know, it sounds so obvious, but seriously) and B) try checking in the sub-categories you're in to figure out which models are before and after you to help have extra stuff to narrow down your search. If you don't find yourself in the listings, but Model A from Big Boobs (right before you in the sub-category) and Model B from Big Boobs (right after) are in row three of page 2 together, you're about there too and not showing for whatever reason. Sometimes, it takes my stream a while to show up in placement. It sounds stupidly complicated, but I can't tell you just how many times I've overlooked my own pic, gotten pissed for not finding it, and then gotten even more pissed I missed it in the first place. Lol!

Anyone have any tips for checking the speed of your streams? I checked my own profile to see what it looked like from guest view and noticed quite some lag wondering if this is because I was streaming and viewing at the same time (because my preview shows normal speed) or if this is some weird connection issue. I have fast Internet it shouldn't be lagging.

I am not on page one lately so weird it is pissing me and my wallet off lol. Placement is so off its all messed up and on different browsers people r on different pages and people I know from page one are on 2 and 3.

Girls T_T I'm having a problem!! Yesterday and today I tried to cam for a few hours and when somebody wants an exclusive or a private...BAMF!! My internet disconnects, the whole wi-fi!!.

I'm losing clients and money and...unff, i'm so frustated right now!!!. I had a boy with a foot fetish who bought a excl twice, poor thing!

My internet was strange since two weeks ago disconnecting like twice a day...but it's hard to believe it only happens now when i'm on pvt and never in free chat ._.

Ok, already.contacted with support, no streaming for me today :(.

Have a good night, ladies!! Avenge me!!


Have u tried using an Ethernet connection instead of wifi?

Hi y'all. Quick question. Had a great customer send me a message on SM asking if I sell clips/videos. Is that not allowed? Me to tell him I have a C4S page? How else would I tell him/sell him videos or pics?

Thanks :)

Unfortunately, you cannot really tell him that. The most I would say is, "I do sell them but I am not allowed to tell you where". That is still kind of hinting to go offsite, so be careful even with that. Do you use the same name on SM as you do on C4S? Sometimes they are smart enough to use Google and figure it out. That makes it easier for them to find you like that.

Use www.projectmaenad.com for file sharing, as SM has said that is ok. Giving them a C4S link will get you banned.

Aaah, and get them to pay me in gold? That 35% cut is BRUTAL you guys. I'm new to this world so maybe the interface/traffic is worth it but it's hard....

Yeah, I figured it was against the rules and just curious what the work around is.

I do use the same name but I want to be careful with telling him, like you said. Thanks!

That looks a lot like some freeloaders thought they were gonna get free shows out of girls on SM, realised we don't listen to cheapskates barking demands, and they've retaliated by trying to tell other dudes not to join.
