Hi everyone. So I'm new here, and new to camming in general. I've been trying to get an account set up on streamate, but I've run into a few snags that I could really use some help with (since their help is a little less than helpful/slow).
I'm trying to set up a couples account for myself and my friend. We are both MtF. Now, when setting up, there are no options for an MtF-MtF show. The first time we tried to sign up, we just selected MtF, submitted all required documentation, and were promptly deleted because we hadn't set up a couples account. Are there any tips that you girls can give me that would help? We are so lost, and quite fed up with their lack of responding to us.

You can sell videos as long as it is a direct download link. I use camredeem but as long as it *just* links to the video instead of like, a pay site like C4S or ELM you'll be fine.

Email
[email protected] with this specific issue and explain the situation. That seems to be her department, though I'm not entirely sure.

Tonight has been kinda slow but the night is still young. Plus July is the most traveled for summer vacations according to travel sites.

I'm anti countdown 100% unless it is a TV show. I know some performers have expressed their discontent with the "no countdown/short show/video bundle/cheap buy in/make a few bucks in time that would otherwise be pissed away in free chat" but I encourage those who have never tried it to give it a whirl. It fucking adds up, usually lands a private after and it REALLY helps me figure out who to ban. If you keep coming in my room like an asshole, running my meter without paying and can't figure out that 12 vids and a 5 minute boob flash is a deal of a lifetime BAN BAN BAN BAN. I sit there in my show and hit that ban hammer. It separates the men from the boys. Also, I'm terrible at the gold show carnival barking. If I were running a balloon game at a state fair and had to draw people to my game, no one would play. I just can't do it and I am in awe of people that are able to make thousands a week doing just gold shows. You guys are heroes!!! :-)

All Gold shows or just those who agreed to televised shows?
On the WeCamGirls forum it says that gold shows are tubed and televised...and we don't get the revenue from those viewers. At least with our private shows we have some control over where the content goes but not gold shows/tv.

I dont do Gold shows often, but I tried one tonight and this is what I dealt with. Is this normal behavior for Gold shows?
effman86: can u try 0 gold show with same goal
JaneBurgess: why
you cant afford 2 bucks
Jeffman86: most girls make more with 0 gold shows
JaneBurgess: so
and no they dont
Jeffman86: no its not about me, its about u making more and hitting ur goal
JaneBurgess: no it isnt
chainzzz: how much for real life bb
Jeffman86: yes it is, if u want, ill leave when u try the 0 show

In my experience, that's pretty normal. Gold shows bring out the freeloaders like nobody's business. I just ignore them for the most part. It's not even worth the effort to keep kicking and banning.
I actually had chainzzz in my room today...he asked me the same thing and I quoted him 10 billion. :D
JaneBurgess
07-23-2014, 10:33 PM
Thank you. I wasn't sure if they were doing it to me because they know I am newer to Gold shows or if it was normal behavior.
chainzzz is a real piece of work. If you can't afford cam shows than you can't afford an escort.

Always be online damnit! I totally creep on you when I'm getting ready to go to work--I will shamelessly admit that. I'm in awe of your self-taught pole dancing skills and shamelessly perv on you. If I ever get around to making a customer account, I'm totally tipping into your shows. <3
P.S. Like, not to be creepy, but for real. Haha.

Has anyone figure it out, how can round trip time be fixed? My round trip time is usually "below average" since yesterday it's "poor" and it's getting worser and worser currently its 514 :(( I have the fastest internet avilable in my area, my speedtest results are 69 Mb down and 10 up, my ping is 9 and I have an i5 laptop. I also use wired connection, no wireless at all. I'm afraid poor round trip time will my placement.
Kisha, I don't know the answer, but my round trip time isn't good either and I'm doing good with placement. I have an I-7 though. Probably that doesn't make a difference. My company is verizon and the only faster package is fios which they don't offer where I'm at. So technically I have high speed internet. I would love to fix my roundtrip time too!

My round trip time is always in the average-poor zone, I still manage to be in the top 2 rows all the time. I guess it doesnt matter that much

My round trip is good and I cam on at least 5 sites at the same time on a desktop that is over 2 yrs old... .. roundtrip time is the time that it circles back from their servers to your computer..etc etc.. understand??
Kisha
07-24-2014, 01:52 PM
Ah ok I understand. I'm happy it doesn't hurt the placement so much :)

Try going to pingtest.net and testing your connection that way. I found that when my round trip is poor so is my ping. So, it does have something to do with your internet connection.

They've been closing inactive accounts. Email support and they should be able to get you set back up fairly quick!

Is it unreasonable to kick guys out my room for not coming into paid, when theyre in there all fucking day? If I kick them out, are they barred for ever, or just for a few minutes?

Depends on your hustle. Some girls kick them out because they feel they're wasting their time other girls allow them to stay because maybe one day they will spend. When you kick them they aren't barred forever. They can come right back in after you kick them out. They are only barred forever when and if you ban them.

I stopped kicking guys out and now just Ban them. When I would kick I'd get alot of angry guys coming in and FINALLY doing a show and then rating me a 1 or 2 or 3 just to "get even".

Is there anyone that can help me with the encoder. I have been using the encoder for years and its worked right but for some reason its not working right for me anymore. Whenever I use It now it still says I am not streaming in HD and it does some really weird things. If someone could PM me I would love you forever :)

Does anyone know if there's a way to tell if a member is typing to you with his 'eyeball' thing closed?

I do not think so... but you can always open another browser to view your chatroom and see if his text comes up or not.

Try a different camera. I had Encoder issues last night and when I switched camera's it worked really well.

Somebody could remind me, how to block a customer after him exit my room? Tks.
soraja
07-28-2014, 06:47 PM
You can't, and that's terrible. The best you can do is keep a list of shitheads to ban and wait for them to show up again.

What i do is basically bring up the block button on each member in the beginning and after if i consider them ban worthy i will ban them after they left. Cant do it all the time, because i might loose genuine good members on the expense of trying to catch bad ones.

Would you mind giving me more details on how you do that? When I hit the block button, I only get the option to block them from messaging me as well and it auto blocks them from chat.
Busygirl
07-28-2014, 11:27 PM
I do the same thing. Sometimes i don't ban them from messaging, depends. Why that is not working for you?
Busygirl
07-28-2014, 11:30 PM
I don't know any other way. I don't get bent out of shape over banning though, because they can come back anyway, how i won't say here. I suggest you make a note as well on them with the name at least and offence, so you know who are you dealing with if they come back in.

07-29-2014, 06:02 AM
I don't mind it when the quick, coward trolls get away. It just makes it SO much more satisfying when I do finally get to ban them.
I swear, it is like a mental orgasm. So I am willing to wait because they are pathetic trolls with no life that relies on me for its entertainment. They always come back.

Click "yes" to block from messaging, then go to "my black list" then you should see him somewhere in that list. The "block from chat" button might be unclicked. So click it so he can't enter anymore. And save changes

Okay i feel stupid for asking this but what is the difference between gold shows and party chat? I thought they were the same thing and that party chat was just a count down till you got to your gold show but as i'm looking at the streamate main page i noticed it's labeled seperately
TattooedBBW
07-29-2014, 07:38 AM
There's two types of chat, classic and party. In party chat everyone can chat together and gold shows can only be run in this style of chat, u can get pvts/excls in party chat too as long as there is no gold show countdown. In classic chat u can only do privates and exclusives and the members cannot see each other's chat or how many people are in the room.

Is it just me or did the dashboard change looks? Broadcast is now a long green button and the info on me is all down on the page not it "boxes" like before. My GS funds aren't showing up either. I guess they are upgrading the site and it's glitchy.

The dashboard changed for me as well. AND it says my earnings are zero which is bullshit.
