I think it may be a rival affiliate that is trying to stop people from coming to Streamate. That website has an amazing review for Live Jasmin and he has a sign up link in that review. I think this guy is just a shady affiliate who is creating lies in order to pimp the cam sites he is getting a cut from

Anyone wonder about these clients showing nude pictures of their wives/gfs.... I think it's f*ed up, I ones I see it's pretty obvious she doesn't know shes being filmed/pics taken. Hate it, but smile anyways, makes me wonder if they're posting the pics on the internet as well.

Also always wondered about the screen print issue for SM, was always told it would block the client but I had a reg show me screen prints he took of me... Thought there was software on SM's end to block/ban that? Anyone else have issues with this or know anything?

if u do gold shows w/o the encoder on a consistent basis like a few back to back and not using they take away ur ability to do them until they're system sees ur using the encoder again.

Thanks i wish i knew how to use it without the lag on my sound its like playing the guessing game with it ugh everything else works fine besides the site tech but i its SM lol is that the only encoder u can use on the site? any other recommendations?

Does anybody know why im having about a 5 minute delay in my stream?? A regular took me for a 30 min block session but we couldnt do it as he was seeing/hearing me 5 minutes late and I have no idea why. I checked out my feed via my cammodels link and I saw myself in free chat but the feed was still from the exclusive session (Hopefully that makes sence).

Has anyone ever had this happen? I have emailed Streamate in hopes of my reg getting a refund as no show took place....has anyone been able to get a refund to a customer before?

isp is your roundtrip and you dont want it higher, you want that lower it means your pinging to sm fast.
remember no matter what, you will always go through someones internet to reach sm, bouncing off towers, through storms
idk except to get the best package but over time internet clogging will get worse, more providers with false promises.

RIGHT. My audio is still behind my video, sometimes it's as much as 5 seconds and sometimes it's only slightly out of sync. I've played around with encoder settings and nothing seems to make a whole lot of difference but ... also Idk what I'm doing really. Can anyone shed any light on this? Someone suggested lowering my fps but it's not helped. I've ditched the encoder today but don't want to do that long-term.

If this does happen I'm 100% certain that its manual (ie. someone from streamate take it away manually). When I started I wasn't using the encoder and would regularly do goldshows while I wasn't using the encoder. I did that for about 4 months and never had any issues. I started using the encoder about 4 months into streamate.

Crap, I'm both relieved and horrified to see so many of you girls are having lag issues with the Encoder. I was sitting at a full 30-60 seconds of delay the entire time I was on and my placement was dropped to page 7 from page 2-3! I've never seen my stats so screwed up in good weather with me being the only one on the service! Bah!

Can't wait until I move next month--I'm setting up my wireless box in my room so I can hardwire (no more wifi nonsense) and upgrading my internet as best as possible to see if it bumps my rating. Also, I might try camming on my laptop for a while. I love my desktop, but iMacs notoriously have trouble with wireless internet and I can't hardwire it. I think my laptop gets a better stream overall. Ho hum, worth exploring?

Issabelle
07-08-2014, 04:41 PM
Update: changing over to my laptop got my lag down to about 3 seconds from what I was seeing on my Encoder screen. Guess it was just my iMac having a shitty meltdown. Or SM fixing itself. It's so hard to tell sometimes. Haha

My round trip time changes daily. I think it has something to do with the servers. I don't think there's much that can be done to improve it. Mine can be "average" one day and "excellent" the next.

Anyone can take a screen print of you and sm can't do anything about it. I have a program that came with my laptop called the snipping tool and it snips anything you choose right from the screen. As far as men sharing their "gf's" photos, most of those photos are full of shit. Lots of guys steal exgf type photos (photos taken by a model or photographer to appear more realistic aka the selfie) and send them to you so you go along with their fantasy. I bet if you did a reverse image search you'd find that same "gf" on a ton of phone sex and porn sites. I happen to have 38,000 exgf type photos of "real girls" on my other laptop for my phone sex numbers that I purchased from a photographer with 2257 docs.

Has anyone here changed their screen name? I want to change mine and not sure if SM allows it or if it will screw up my placement.

RedAlice
07-09-2014, 11:30 PM
They occasionally allow people to change names but it does involve starting from scratch with a lot of things. You'll probably lose some favourites, the ability to do GS, all your tags. A top model changed names recently and it did screw her placement slightly (only by a couple of rows, but since she's always been on the top row ...) and she said it was affecting her negatively. But it's all relative. I mean, she was still on the top half of the first page, still had tons of favourites, quickly built her tags back up, and was doing GS within a couple of days. Someone who's not consistently on page 1 or hasn't built up a regular customer base will probably find it harder to recover.

So it depends whether it's worth it for you personally!

^^ Ditto what Alice said. I had to get a new account when I moved to Katy Boleyn's studio for daily pay. I got my gold shows back yesterday, as the muppets were shit at rating after shows. My new model status lasted less than a week because SM screwed up and transferring favorites/tags was a bitch. I lost all tags/comments, finally got favorites transferred, and got my ratings transferred without them counting towards my score (um, why bother guys?). It was a bitch. My earnings totally tanked for a week. It's gotten much better, but it'll be a few weeks until I'm back where I belong. If the name change = new account, it might not be worth the hassle.

On the plus side, I got gold shows back! WOOO! I'm a lover of voyeur shows while I study for classes (I call mine 'boob tube time' as I have a regular following of titty lovers and 32DDs on my side). I may only make $8-20 an hour, but it's money I didn't get otherwise for homework!

My GS show timer froze during a show! Does this happen to anyone else? I was doing a voyeur and realised I'd been on 11 minutes for a while. Then it caught up and I was actually at 24 seconds. Grr.

And none of those guys were charged. I didn't know long long they'd been there until I checked, as they never entered! Grrr. So you can afford an iPad, but not a minute in private?!

RedAlice
07-10-2014, 03:55 PM
Maybe they spent all their money on an iPad. ;)
From experience, iPad streaming is pretty shit. It's fairly likely that they didn't get to see anything, what they did see was several seconds late, or their stream was cut short after less than half a minute anyway.

Streamate. Get yaself an app.

Did anyone else get this message about tv shows bringing us traffic and encouraging us "not to worry about how high the earning goal" is? I thought I gave them 65% of my earnings to provide traffic.

Yeah I got it too. Nope, not enabling tv shows...no matter how much they tell me "not to worry".

After many months of lurking here, I decided to join in and say Hello. I too had problems with SM today, seems to be a common thing. Today I had two exclusive pvts drop and one left my pvt with out me knowing he was there or it even showing he was there in the paid chat. Anyhow , Hello all!

Enable TV shows? Look, I love me my SM because the traffic is (generally) good, the site layout is simple, and I have enough control over shows with privates/exclusive sessions and my physical item branding in my room that I have capping cut down to a minimum. I love all of that. I do not even pretend to love their pay system or think they're looking out for my interests. Their damned TV station is just another way to screw over camgirls, sorry to say. The cost for people to buy that channel/unlock shows is barely a fraction of what they pay us if it's like most porn channels on cable, so they may as well 'guarantee us' a tiny amount of money so they insure their TV viewers keep paying the high rates for the station to keep their pockets padded.

I hate the advertising department of SM so much sometimes. At least they're transparent about fucking us all over...

Speaking of not loving their payment system, I just sent them a (politely worded) "bitch, where is my money?" e-mail. I know about the three-week delay thing (I'm signed up for checks by regular mail), but my first week was the week of June 1... and now we're two weeks into July. And still not a penny. Is this completely unheard of? Am I just unlucky? :/

'Bitch, where's my money' would be the correct response. Make sure you have your address and what not set properly, then check under payment history (it's a tab) to see if they've been claiming to send checks to begin with.

I had that same issue when I first signed up for the solo account - I didn't receive a check for almost a month. I contacted Vanessa about it and it was fixed right away.

I've got everything set up right as far as I can tell, I've made more than the minimum every week, and I've been staring down the payment history screen for a solid month now, which is why this delay thing makes me want to deck someone. >:(

Katy, did you get your back payments all at once, or was it staggered...?

Everyone in my room is complaining about lag tonight. It's not on my end. :(

Meanwhile, I'm still trying to get my fucking money. Support says:

Hello,

I've forwarded your message to our accounting department. We'll notify you when we receive any further information.

Thanks.

I would vent but I've already gone through all the five stages of annoyed about this (maybe I'll get paid next week, fuck you pay me!!!!!, maybe if I work more they'll pay me, ugh am I never going to get paid?, time to e-mail support about getting paid).
