No patience left for guest chat AT ALL.

Guy chatted for a few minutes before admitting that he was "a bit naughty" as he had no credit left.
BLOCKED

Guy who told me that all the other girls give him a peek before he takes them private.
BLOCKED

Guy who told me he doesn't always have credit so I should be nice to him as he took me private once.
BLOCKED

Gonna have no boys left at this rate but I don't care.

Had this guy that never spends but always hangs out and contributes to the conversation...well sh*t next thing I know he's requesting exclusive. Bam! got his ass, and about 15 mins into our conversation my internet goes out...I call, of fu*king course there's an outage in my area. Of all the times!!! So just goes to show my not banning all the lurkers is working. Anyone else getting newbies? I got like 5 last night. Anyways I hope all you ladies have a great night!!

Has anyone noticed that placement seems to change really quickly?

For example, on Wednesday my placement was behind some girls. Yesterday it jumped ahead of those girls. Now it's behind those girls again, even though I made a few hundred dollars yesterday (and I'm doing quite well so far today).

Are they calculating it on a day to day or hourly (how often they adjust, not talking about average) basis just to like, keep us on our toes? lol.

Then again I notice that sometimes a "top" models placement will drop down for some reason. Then go back up later that day. It's weird.

Or are they randomizing the placement a little bit to switch the page/results up. idk

Its heavily based on average hourly + % in paid chat. And then of course the top 2 rows are typically girls who have high of both and just put in a ton of hours, so it probably goes more by weekly earnings.

I am aware, which is what I was trying to say when I mentioned "how often they adjust, not talking about average", average meaning hourly average.

What I mean is that the most recent hourly/daily averages seem to be reprocessed at a quick rate in regards to placement. Meaning your average will bump you up and down in a matter of a day, or even within a few hours. Thus placement changes really quickly.

I don't know if it's always been like this but it seems to be more fluid recently. I wonder if they're processing it at a quicker rate to keep us on our toes. I can see the pros but it also has some cons imo.

And also sometimes I'll see a top 2 row model (who is always up there) be in like row 4 below other girls they're not normally below, but just temporarily. Then later she's bumped back up.

edit: I'm seeing placement jumping around in a matter of a half an hour lol (looking at others jumping around). Which is kind of why I wonder if there's a slight element of randomization.

I seriously had to stop watching placement. It was driving me nuts! I've been making more money since I stopped worrying about it though.

Naiad
08-08-2014, 07:43 PM
^Haha yeah. I was seriously thinking about making a "stop looking at your placement for x number of days challenge!" xD

I'll stop looking at mine for a period of time and then I'll start looking at it again.

One advantage to not looking at it is if you're less worried about your placement, it might give you a little more flexibility in the way that you choose to cam - like if you feel less pressure to maintain a certain hourly you might be focusing more on the things you want to do, enjoy yourself more, and end up making more money because it becomes more tolerable, even if it might take a bit longer time wise (or you could not check your placement but still aim for the highest hourly possible).

And there is certainly inherent value in enjoying yourself, and not being stressed out...especially if you have a hard time dealing with free chat at times.

I don't know if that makes sense, and there's balance in everything of course - I'm only willing to sacrifice so much per hour for some flexibility. But yeah, placement isn't everything fo sho.

I do think placement is moving around a lot more often than it used to. I have also stopped checking my placement all the time, and it has helped me a lot as well. As long as I am in row 1-5, I don't see a drop in traffic or earnings. I just quit paying much attention to it now. I check it if it's ghost town to see if something is wrong with my feed.

But I think what you are talking about is just a glitch because if you see a model who is usually like row 1-2 suddenly in row 5-6+ and then moments later back in row 1-2, that's just a glitch. Happened to me last night. Started out in row 3, suddenly fell all the way back to page 2 near the bottom, almost page 3! I was freaking out for a few mins until it fixed its self. I think it's a glitch in the system that for a few moments doesn't detect the proper settings. Once it happened to me for an entire shift and I emailed Liz in a panic, she said it was not detecting my HD setting. It eventually fixed. So yah.

It might be u did not notice he sent u gold because u were talking to him or others privately? For example if u select a guest name from the list in freechat and somebody sends u gold u wont be able to see that unless u go back to 'non-private mode chat', means chat to everyone & see everyone's text. This is a bug on SM, it happened to me too, poor guys sent me gold, i overseen it and chat went up fast & they got nothing for their gold. Just pay attention to the gold sent sound & to chat in general, xxx

Some light at the end of my tunnel :) I was on yesterday and of course guys in and immediately out, guys suddenly totally quiet (even the ones I'll usually get a few sentences out of), you name it. Found out later there was some problem with my internet provider. They got it fixed so my son is off to spend the day with Grandad and I'll be busting my butt today :) Well...unless SM has it's usual glitches. LOL

Ok I'm really confused. A guy said he was taking me private and before I get any notification I hear the exit sound from private with it saying he just left private. He was telling me in free chat that he was trying so I told him to try again, then I guess he got frustrated and when he left free chat it made the noise like he was leaving private. Wtf? I think he really was trying but something is wrong on SM.

^^ Check to see if a red button flashes under Paid Chat--sometimes the menu won't drop down for me when a guy enters paid. It's annoying as fuck, but I can just enter the chat and still get paid by opening the window/noticing his name in the paid window.

Thanks for the advice on this, I will know for the next time it happens. I'm pretty sure I lost him as a paying customer if he ever planned on it anyways. He kept trying to ask me for personal information instead of trying to go private again so he probably just would have been a 30 second peeper anyways.

Traffic seems amazing tonight, if anyone would actually stay and speak longer than a minute. I've literally had 200+ guys in & out of my room in the last hour and one show. My sound is fine, stream seems great. wtf.

Praying to the cam gods that the night gets better, this traffic is amazing but useless so far..

I haven't seen many glitches on my end tonight. I had one guy get DCed, but he was using c2c in exclusive and had a shaky connection by the looks of it. He came back and tried again without c2c and stopped trying to use audio and it was fine. One other guy bitched that the stream was choppy, but it was fine when I looked it up. Most guys saying it's choppy--if it's only the occasional guy anyway--have slow internet or too much damned shit open on their computer/browser.

That said, I had great traffic and plenty of buyers. Made like $70 in an hour, which hasn't happened in a while. Got off, went for a swim, and am now eating before I get on again.

Only downside, I had one guy come into my gold show voyeur and ADMIT he was a capper. Name & details in verified for you ladies. Yes, SM support knows. No, I have no clue if they'll actually ban him for admitting that/calling me a whore/slut/bitch/shameful retarded cunt crying into my pillow at night when I told him he was reported for admitting it. Did get a good laugh out of mocking him though--my other customers tipped extra. lol

Ok I'm really confused. A guy said he was taking me private and before I get any notification I hear the exit sound from private with it saying he just left private. He was telling me in free chat that he was trying so I told him to try again, then I guess he got frustrated and when he left free chat it made the noise like he was leaving private. Wtf? I think he really was trying but something is wrong on SM.

That's been happening for MONTHS. It's alllll over this thread. It's a connection glitch. Thought it was only iphone/ipad users but models are saying it also happens to PC users. It happens to me at least a dozen times per day. It's the site or the customer's internet connection. They are never actually in private. They're just in limbo so long that they system shoots them right back out as soon as it finally loads.

It's just one in the long line of SM's never-ending glitches.

I just experimented by putting my 5.99 private price down to 4.99. A guy took me private for a 15 minute block, followed by EIGHT peekers and one other guy who stayed just a few seconds too long! So I logged out afterwards right away to change it back to 5.99.

An asshole who records your shows. I believe the term comes from 'screencap' or 'screencapper,' meaning they're taking screen-captures of the performance. They be pirates who should be strung up, shot, and/or banned on site. :-)

Lots of traffic last night... I had two long privates and one great exclusive that helped me surpassed my daily goal. You only need a few generous gentlemen to make it rain. The rest can go kick rocks and eat glass!

It means they've at least spent $5 on you!

that he has spent on you before, more than $5.00. the number increases as he spends more on you.

Regarding the numbers, do any of you lovelies know what the actual numbers translate to in terms of spending? I've got lots of 1s, a few 2s, and the odd 3, but nothing higher yet (and I have guy's who've dropped $100-200 on me). Just curious. :)
