Does anyone know if you can delete your current SM account and then make a new one?

trying to get the nerve to hit "start my show" for the first time ever on SM...its as if I would forget how to masturbate or something...
everythings set up, I put my cam in the perfect angle, my makeup is done, toy is ready, etc...I just have to do it right?

I posted this in the camming sucks thread but wanted to share it here too since a lot of people avoid that thread.
The start of the week on SM was awesome for me and then suddenly Thurs I had the worst shift I've ever had on there. Many guys were complaining that they couldn't even stay in my free chat room and most chalked it up to their own connections, when clearly it was SM since it was so many guys with the same problem.
I think I just figured it out... If you are on a phone and you go to SM, it used to make you download a third party app to view cams. Even as recently as this past Monday it was making you do that. Just now I see you can now view cams on your phone without downloading a third party app, so they have definitely been messing with things.
The connection is very choppy too, which could explain why a lot of guys seem to not be able to stay connected. Ugh. So many guys watch cams on their phones or tables now.

^^^ I hope 'messing with things' phase is over or will be soon so the site will turn into a stable platform to work on?!? I wish! You cant imagine how is on page 1 bottom or page 2, is deadville!
The encoder is lagging for me the past 4 days. I watch my feed on cammodels and it's way behind. If I try to respond the guys questions they leave because they think I'm being rude and not talking.
horny guy; I'm so horny bb. want to private?

^^There is definite lag going on the last few days, probably related to my post above rather than the encoder. :-/

Seriously what is up with Fridays and my rankings??? Once again now using audio and widescreen which show in my video chat but not in My Ranking which is really screwing with my placement!!! Starting to get frustrated especially after I completed a show last weekend on Saturday morning which I was never paid for and been talking to support all week and they have no record even though I have screen shots and all of high tippers and everything its ridiculous!! Hoping for things to work themselves out tonight!!

I don't know what was up Friday night but I logged in and after about 5 minutes I realized not one person has come into my free chat. Even though I'm usually page 2 I still stay quite busy. I searched to page 4 and couldn't find myself, so I typed my name in the search box. The thumbnail in the search results said "offline" but when I clicked on it, it showed my live cam. Was doing this off and on for 2 hours. I finally started my period so I gave up. Lol.

so my mom happened across one of my sm checks a while back and asked what it was and i played dumb. so a few days ago were watching tv and an ad comes on with some girl dancing with the words streamate flashing across the screen,lol. who know what the hell she was thinking omg. thanks streamate haha
So glad they finally changed their name on our checks! You must have been mortified. I was in line one day to cash my check and the attendant kept saying "Screamates" really loudly repeatedly. So glad he pronounced it wrong, but fuck. I swear the young guy next to him was blushing. I'm still scratching my head as to why SM took so damn long to change the name on the check.

Okay, I thought it was just my family's shitty internet. My feed kept jumping over the past 2 times I've streamed using the encoder. I hope they've fixed their shit because I sat on cam for 45 min and only made $15.

What did they change it to? The name is part of the reason why I stopped getting their checks. Definitely not something I wanted in a roommate situation

Something along the lines of "ICF Technology" or something

Argh last night was horribly glitchy for me. I had a tv gold show fuck up. Next, guys kept coming in and out of my room. Like a wall of the same names in out in out. I kept asking guys what's up and they all were saying my room kept disconnecting them or my video was going blank/black.
Speaking of glitches, does anyone get this glitch recently where you're doing a group show, and you see members names leaving the room that never showed them joining in? What is that about?
WTH SM!

It says something like ICF Technology now. About time they changed it! It was bad enough having it on the cheque but what was worse was it showing from streamate through the half ass glued envelop with that little clear corner.

The black screen could be your bitrate dropping, a lighting issue, or not being hardwired.
Yeah, that glitch has been happening to me for awhile now.

^^ I know this came up somewhere before, but just keep in mind that if you get the 'fed ex' delivery option, the return address ON the fed ex envelope says STREAMATES.
It really sucks because if you have roommates, or live with family members, they could be nosy and find out.:-[
Marina Starr
10-25-2014, 01:34 PM
They changed it to ICF instead of Streamate. I think that's a wonderful thing. I wouldn't want some nosy ass mailman knowing my business and run his mouth to the whole neighborhood. The reason I said mailman is because some men can be worst than women. They are terrible when it comes to sex or anything that challenges their sexuality.

This might be old news, but the site was definitely having issues on Thursday. Every cam I clicked on had freezing/lagging, and it wasn't on my end. A girl in the top row is pretty choppy today but the other cams I clicked on seem okay ... Only watched each one for a few seconds, though.

HI! have a big issue here. I had a customer that went to private like 3 times, with differents accounts, I thought that was normal, until he came again, then I realized that probaly was stealing accounts, or hacking, or I donīt know. I told him not to do it anymore. So I think Iīm in a big trouble because I didnīt realized before. Could I get banned for this? I made shows for him, before I realized this, will this deducted from my income? What should I do now? Should I contact support and tell about the situation? Iīm not sure that which of my privates were him, but I know for sure that 3 of them were from him....I feel stupid now, and scared... FML.

Hi girlies!! I hope to not offend anyone in my post, but I have a question for girls who do fetishes.... I am a mixed race (look more AA than white) girl who does fetishes on SM (well a few, b/c I don't know them all). I keep getting requests for race play. Here's my issue with this. My father is white (Danish), I was raised going to schools that were majority white, and my parents never taught me to 'see color,' society did. I am not accustomed to treating people differently based on skin color - even if that's what the rest of the world does. I just don't see the point.. my friends get tans a lot where I live... am I supposed to treat them differently because their skin just got 3 shades darker? Seems beyond ridiculous to me. Also, I am a double major in political science and economics so I have learned the facts about race and know exactly how much that shit does not matter unless you make it matter. Anyway... I feel like if I don't it will affect my earnings. I'm still fairly new, but I've been struggling with this dilemma. Have any girls also faced this? I think it's disgusting that a guy gets off calling me a n*gger, worthless dirty slave, etc.... That would 100% turn me off... No wet cookie - dry like a desert.. LOL What do you girls think? - I apologize for posting if this has been asked elsewhere or is too controversial. I searched through the threads and haven't seen it yet, but I am still looking.

Definitely go with your gut feeling! I'm pretty sexually open-minded and most fetishes don't bother me, but I had one show in particular when I was new that bugged me for weeks! It was a fetish I was uncomfortable with, but I was new and naiive. I even asked the guy if he recorded me the next time he bought a show because I was SO paranoid. if you're not comfortable with it, don't do it. I rarely get racial shows so don't worry about losing money.

I have been getting troll tagged so hard this weekend. In the last 72 hours, I've gotten: ugly inside, super bitch, loves knomes, heartless, has a penis, greedy, evil and rude, braindead, and whore. It's like my favorite new pre-log in activity: 'ooooh, what did some butt hurt asshole with too much free time tag me with now?' I've had three blocked tags before that, none of which were rude. Guess Issa made an enemy. *cackles*
Anyone else having trolling issues though? They're all offline tags too. Weird. Thought some of you might enjoy the cheap laughs though.

today was finally a normal day! lots of beggars, but only on few hours in my 7 hours shift. made 200$. but in first hour i actually didnt give attention to any guy bcs were kinda irritated about amazon. btw, do you guys have issues with privates? like one regular today couldnt enter private(- 30 bucks ). he said "error occured" . another guy in like half hour tried too. but he couldnt( and he didnt know why). then some odd guy took me private, and the guy came to private too without any issues. that annoys me... maybe i loose half of my privates bcs of this issue.
