I use TiffanyTracy's magic SM settings in the encoder. You need to have a i7 processor and a good ping/speed for the settings to work properly though. Here is a screen shot and my ranking. I'm in eastern Canada. I also splitcam using Xlovesplitter, (customized version of Webcamsplitter by Verysoft), so these are the rankings even while splitcamming! My fps and roundtrip sometimes goes down but not for very long. Try these settings out and see if they help you out with SM.

I think Liz was also able to transfer favs for people leaving DP but not sure about comments? GlamourRouge says they are not letting people transfer out of studios anymore though, even DP...? I'm not sure, I would ask if they are still allowing transfers out of DP without the usual waiting period when leaving studios, before you try it, just to be certain.

They will still let you leave studios, but they make you a new account and transfer over your favorites. But you lose your notes and placement. I don't remember about comments. I think you lose those too but I don't remember.

The reasons they don't do direct transfers anymore is because it messes up the payment system for that account, or so I am told. Which is incredibly hard to fix apparently.

I got this info direct from Liz when I was asking for someone.

Helloo ladies :)

I'm registering with SM and it asks for my first name and last name, does this mean my real name and not my cam persona? and also, will it be kept completely confidential?
You're real name because it'll be printed on your checks. As far as I know it's confidential. No customers have gotten a hold of my real name.

I'm going to lower my private rate to 99 cents tonight. I've thought long and hard about it. I have 15 cents in my bank account and no food in the fridge. Some money is better than none.

I'm seriously considering deleting my current account and making a new one... I had to take WAY too much time off due to being too depressed to even get out of bed, and now I can't make money to save my life. I hope this is a valid reason for them. Gonna email Vanessa and see what she says. I've tried other sites, but no luck. Streamate was always my number 1 site and I did well on there from the moment I started up until getting so sick. sigh...

Oh man, I've seen you in free chat you're beautiful. I hope all works out

10-03-2014, 04:33 PM
And as far as people putting me on ignore, I don't give a shit. The majority of the posters who do are usually the first ones to start provoking posters and are clearly not people I want to know. The perfect example is the girl who called me a bitch for being in the cruel domme niche. She's young and stupid. I used to be like her once. Things change as you get older. She likes what she knows and is irritated by what she doesn't understand. Can't blame her for being who she is.

I may be responding against my better judgement but who do you want to know on this forum? And what do you expect to get with post like this? I've read some of the things you post and I can see the validity in some of it...but this makes me wonder?

I refuse to give power to the subject. Can you please delete or edit your post? I'm emotional and blabbering. Obviously I've been experiencing some turmoil as of late and I'm venting. It sucks that as a cam model I am completely isolated and can't vent. It makes for a very stressful life.

Thanks for writing. After reviewing the suspension I also do not understand what
happened. As far as I can tell you should never have been suspended. As a
courtesy to you I have added a pay adjustment to your account for the potential
in earnings that you missed out on from 10/2. Please let me know if you need
further assistance.

Honestly you need to think about retiring from this industry. You seem really pissed at other performers and really stressed out. It's a hard time for a lot of us, it's kinda slow. I don't blame the other performers for that. I have been kinda slacking and the sites don't help with their freebie shit they market.

Take a step back, breathe and realize suicide is a selfish act. Nothing is worth killing yourself over and PM me if you want to talk. A lot of us will help you out if you need support.

Try another site and see if its a better fit. Most of us split cam, try that if you can.

^^ Me either. I just logged in here to see if it was just me...because right before it happened (and I have been on 7 hours until it did,, it gave me a warning that my cpu usage was too high) WTF? My comp. is new..ish.
I blame it on Mercury in retrograde, which starts full blown---TODAY!

Just gonna leave this here. That is the number for the national suicide hotline. I have used a similar local to me (central Canadian) line when I was feeling extremely depressed and I can honestly say they helped soooooooo much. Got me into short term crisis counselling and made such a difference in my life.

Sm was super glitchy last night. Had customers constantly logging in/ out of privy and excl because tip buttons and cam buttons were missing. I'm beginning to wonder if it's the amount of traffic @ one point there were 1700 ladies signed on.

Thanks so much! That's a relief. I can live without notes & comments if necessary, but faves are important. Thank God because I don't want to stay on DP forever. Hopefully I can get my finances in order enough this month to switch back to independent.

Contacted SM about the glitches and got couple of questions in replay like what browser i use and the version of my encoder.I have everything up to date and take a good care of my things,their answer was a lil bit in the style they had no idea that there were any glitches at all.If you experience glitches too ladies,let them know,maybe they will work to fix them.

That's just it. Models HAVE BEEN reporting the glitches. But because everyone reaches a different support tech, it seems that none of them have any idea that glitches are happening. Or so they say. It's such bullshit. SM model support is pretty much worthless.

Glamourmilf
10-05-2014, 08:34 AM
^^ Regarding all the glitches, I figured out that when the message came up while I was streaming that CPU usage was too high, or something like that (it was highlighted in orange), I knew it was on their end.
All the other sites I'm on were fine.:shrug:
It also said that all color of text will not show up, etc.
I'm referring to Friday night, when the ding for exclusive wouldn't show up, and we couldn't block, kick, etc.
Someone mentioned that a larger than usual amount of models were online, so I guess their system couldn't handle it.
I had already been on over 7 hours when it happened, so it makes sense to me now.
Just mentioning again that mercury went retrograde Friday, and it affects technology, equipment, etc.
I made a thread about it but it was moved to life support. there are some great links there to help cope with the next month.:-*

So I just started camming on Streamate yesterday. Overall, it was a good experience. I had lots of tech difficulties, mishaps, and bloopers but overall it was fun. I have never cammed before. I made $4.12. Gotta start somewhere right? I cammed from 10am-2pm. I was favorited 12 times so that's a good sign right? I plan on working Streamate and Cams dot com. I'm also on MFC too. But I haven't started there yet. Any advice, suggestions, etc. would be appreciated.

Ur really going to have to learn to deal with the glitches and accept the fact that the glitches take forever to get fixed. ull only stress urslef out.

I know ur new but reporting in the thread every time u have a glitch and that u reported it and ur not getting a response and that its not fixed is nothing new . Solo already told u they dont care im telling u they dont care - please stop clogging up the thread . Reporting glitches is fine because then if we have the same issue we can say yes im getting it too but . But repeating making post that pretty much saying "Im having a glitch/glitches (not even saying what those glitches are might i add) i wrote to support and support hasn't dont anything !" is just annoying

If its your first payout check how long before you receive it? i chose the check option. i started a few days before the end of the payout cutoff. i know on some other sites it can take a month before you are in the cycle of getting them on time /regular. i am in USA btw

Out of curiosity, could someone please explain this three week hold to me? It's why I switched over to a daily pay studio, but I hate going from 35% to 30% of my earnings. I had no idea I could 'opt out' of holding...

Does the 3 week hold even exist anymore? Last I heard, it doesn't exist anymore. But maybe that's just through Vanessa signups though.

This is exactly as it is ...

PAYMENT HOLD

You may request that your payments are held for up to three weeks.
You may also cancel this request at any time.

Hai girls i have a question, how can I find out who rated me 1 star at Streamate,
Thanks, I have the feeling that it was a peeper who rated me the 1 star so i would like to check it for sure,right now i cant see the names who rated me will it appear later or is not possible at all?

By the way i really want to say from my heart i'm grateful for this website and all the love i always have been feeling on this platform it has been a good help and inspiration.

I don't know where it is...but somewhere in some thread on here...at least three years ago, I read it before I started. It says that US models cound immediately contact support and request to not have the three week hold. I did before I ever streamed and they never hold mine. I was non-studio then. I guess you could try and ask.

Thanks for the info about the holds ladies. I sent an email to Katy about it since I'm debating switching back to weekly pay and don't wanna wait three weeks again (eek!). When I joined her studio in June, I still had the 3 week delay and saw the same info Layla posted with no option to turn it off. I never tried emailing SM Support about it though, so... *shrugs shoulders* Thanks again girls!
