- Beware that once you go private some customers may try to fool you by only staying for 30 seconds trying to get everything pleasing to them for free 30 seconds. SM don't bill the customer till after 30 seconds keep track of the 30 seconds start off doing softcore sexy don't jump to anything hardcore till after the 30 seconds over. SM protects cam models against chargebacks from customers they will pay you once 30 seconds over.
- The first 30 secs of the pvt are free so I usually talk to them, ask them if they can hear me clearly and of course ask them to rate and leave a comment if the pvt is good!!

^^^All of what she said, but THIS is what I have recently encountered. As a newbie, well kind of..(6-7 months). I read here on a post about the "30 second rule". NEVER even knew about it. And the very night I read it my Husband & I got on to cam couples. And sure enough before the 30 seconds was up, a custy was out. I told my Hubby about out what the forum said and from now on, UNLIKE our usual "get un-dressed super fast and start sucking selves" we go in more slowly. Made a HUGE difference. If they are only in for a 30 sec freebie, they aren't getting much and it doesn't waste our time having to get back dressed. =P

I get a lot of guys that jump in for 30 secs and then leave when I'm already in a private. Hardly any of them do it repeatedly--I think that's only happened once or twice in the year I've been on SM. As long as they don't do it more than once it doesn't bother me. There is a chance they are just using it to see what's going on in the show and if they would want to stay and watch it. I'm gonna give them the benefit of the doubt--it keeps me saner.

I know this is just semantics, but I wanted to point out that it's not that the first 30 seconds are free, it's that if they leave before 30 seconds they aren't charged. Once they stay for 30 secs, they are charged for 1 min. If they stay for 1 min 30 secs they are charged for 2 mins, etc.

Actually, exactly 30 seconds are free. If you check your list of payments, you'll notice that you NEVER see 0:30 as the time they were charged for. However, if they stay 0:31, they are charged for a full minute.

And, as you know, if they stay more than one minute, they are charged by the second.

Also, there seems to be a glitch with the system (surprise, surprise) because every few days I have several customers who are charged for 30 seconds less than what they should be charged, even though they stay in long enough to be charged (ex: customer stays 1:30 and is only charged 1:00). I know I've mentioned this before, but it's a real drag. It may seem like very little money, but it adds up, especially when they stay less than 1 minute. In that case, you loose out on the whole minute (they are in 0:57 but it doesn't charge them AT ALL b/c it looks like they were only there 0:27 and that's not long enough to pay). What does that mean for you? Well, let's assume you charge $3.99/min. You are losing $0.70 to $1.40 on each customer who is in when there's a glitch. On top of the 30 free sec that we regularly give out, that's a lot.

However, I imagine I'd be a lot more bitter if I was dealing with chargebacks and I KNEW that I gave a 30 minute show for free. Though I still don't like it, I'd rather deal with the 30 sec assholes.

Blake, you're very fortunate that guys don't come back to you repeatedly. Some of the time I catch them right away, but I have customers on my list who are too fast for me to catch who did it to me 4,7, 12 times. And some of those guys (who are now on my ban list) still have open accounts and I'm sure are doing it to other models.

When I sign into my SM account, it says this:

"CPS is currently down, we are working with the provider to restore the service."

What? I can't figure out what CPS is. What's up there? If something serious is down, I won't bother dolling up, I just continue sleeping.

Edit: WTF did they read this? They changed it to Confidental Phone Service. Lol

"Besides are you seriously suggesting that men only like skinny women? Plenty of men love 'fat' women. There's also a place for 'ghetto'. "

I'm not black but I'm definitely a curvy BBW- I like my fun outfits and though many are a fine fit, after wearing a slinky dress that doesn't really fit by most women's standards and racking up numbers I've bought a few outfits that don't really 'fit' per say, but they guys love them. Everyone has their tastes and I'm finding that a lot of men love tight 'ill fitting' clothing because it makes a woman look like there's more to her and makes them feel like they are seeing more, that the woman is less covered.
It'll all a illusion.


Excuse me? Only black girls? Personally i find that offensive.

The thing you've got to remember is that most of the black girls on SM are in studios in Africa - they don't exactly have lots of money to do their hair, nails etc. and are mostly camming because they have no other way of making any money. 12 hrs a day 7 days a week also a bit of disincentive to look hot all the time especially when your cut is almost literally peanuts. I know - i was one of those girls once.

Besides are you seriously suggesting that men only like skinny women? Plenty of men love 'fat' women. There's also a place for 'ghetto'.

So if you're looking for a place to send your 'clients' - send them over to my fat, black, ghetto ass - i'll make sure they aren't 'dissapointed'.

Anyone else have issues with freezing during GS countdowns??
My entire browser just STOPPED dead frozen non-responsive during like, 3 countdowns tonight! Had to restart everything and lost out on a lot of $$$ - suckkkkked.

I'm going to get an ethernet cable tomorrow just incase, but my internet is good and my laptop is brand new... so I really don't think it is just me... or is it? lol =/

1. Which browser do you use? I always use Google Chrome on SM and it has never been a problem for me.

2. Problem could also be caused by the encoder if you use that.

3. when you have a new pc i suppose you have win7, put the gadget, processcontrol on the desktop, so you can check if nothing comes in the "red" area

Yes, I had a load of issues with the site last night. I also browsed the site and it seemed really laggy. I did a speedtest and my internet was fine. I ended up logging off. I also saw a highly placed model in free chat, who thought she was still in private and was riding a toy etc. She was NOT doing a 'free show' she was genuinely mistaken about it. The site just seemed to be loading everything really slowly.

The same happened to me last week, when i have had pvt, i go to pause mode with the button. I cannot manage in 30 seconds. So back from break, i end pause and check on streammate.com my own chat. I see there myself, play with the toy, what I had done about 5 minutes before.
I really did not know how fast I had to shut down my chatpage

SM made changes to the site. That's probably what the issue is, since they don't shut down the site to do updates and put in new features.

Check the FAQ inside your model admin on SM and you will find this information. You can also find A LOT of info on this by using the search function.

lol ok so I've been TRYING to join streammate for a bit now...
ugh
my annoyance comes from their age verification document where they ask for my alias/nickname
I chose to write down a few because altho i generally go by Pepper it's usually taken about half the time so I have variations of the name [0Pepper0, o0Pepper0o ect] so i put those down.
They tell me to only put one and re submit
so I'm liek ok and resubmit just pepper
taken
!!!
so i had to refill it out with a diff variation...
my beef is...WHY CAN'T THEY JUST LET ME PICK A FEW AND GRAB THE ONE THAT IOSN'T TAKEN RATHER THAN MAKING ME RE FILL OUT A FORUM UNTIL I GET A MODEL NAME?1
It feels like a waste of everyone's time...

Can't you just open a customer account (where you'd have access to the majority of models, even ones with geo-restrictions) and search for the names you want to use? Even without a customer account, you can still access most of the models. Sorry if you've already done this, but it seems like maybe it slipped your mind.

When I search for "Pepper" I come up with a "Pepper" .

For SM, it's not the most professional way for you to have to do it. But at least you won't be wasting your OWN time because you're being proactive.

Gold show question!

I just got gold shows, and I'm wondering if gold shows are good RATINGS-wise. Like on ImLive, they said happyhour was so great for promotion, but as far as I saw almost everyone who did them got crappy ratings from the idiot cheap ass guys, so I never tried it (not to mention the 9$ per hour payed for the performer was ridiculus). Is this the same on SM? I don't even wanna try gold shows if the bad ratings are more frequent after them.

I would not go under 1$ per min, but comparing that to my 3.49-3.99 it's still cheap which can attract cheap dudes, and I don't wanna hurt my 5 stars.

This doesnt sound right, your being asked to fill out the contract before you have chosen a username? I thought the process was go to streamate site, signup giving your username, dob, email address etc then your asked to fill out the contract?

Didnt even know you could download and submit the forms without having an account and username already in place.

QUESTION: When you are on the streaming page and you click the "settings" tab... it says "Allow Free Chat (no credit card)"... This controls if you have that extra 3rd chat space for "Free Chat" where users DO NOT have a credit card on file.

I have mine set to "Yes" - allow free chat. I always have had it this way.

Does anyone know, will turning this to "No" effect placement? Will you still show as being online to people who are NOT logged in as members?

Sarah - I turned mine off months ago and it doesn't seem to have affected my placement whatsoever.

Hey Streamate Girls! Did you see the new heart feature? The number of hearts you have is the number of people who have added you to their favorites. I was just wondering how many you have. I have been on since November and have 751! I can not believe that I have even talked to that many people. Crazy!

I did my first show last night and I have 7 hearts...I definitely did NOT talk to that many people, either. LOL.

Here's a whole thread on the number of favorites or "hearts" you have:

I never allow "free" chat members and I am absolutely fine with my placement. Have never allowed free chat. And yes, guys who are not logged in can still see you as long as you don't have a geo-restriction enabled.

I submitted a new bio pic, and now on my profile I have a black nothing saying it is awating approval, and it can take up to 10! business days. Is this serious? Now I have no profile picture? I wasn't warned when I clicked submit, I thought at least they'd keep the old one, and replace it once it's accepted or something... :S Does it really take DAYS?

I had the same issue in March, scared me like hell and I dont dare to change it anymore. Took 4 days before the new one was visible.

Holy shit! 4 days???? I never seen anything worse than 3-4 hours before... Why the hell wasn't it good enaugh like it was.... :( I regret it now.

Edit: Oh wait I've just checked my cammodels link, it still shows my old one. Phew so I have it, I just cannot see it in my settings then.

Yes so did I, the crazy thing about it, is that it was one picture of a set that already was approved, so why it took so long? I have no idea.

ZOMG it's approved! Damn I look so fucking hot on this new pic. I'd definetly pay for myself hehe. I think I'm pretty lucky now it took like 3-3.5 hours.

It doesn't usually take more than a day or so, in my experience. But if you're tired of waiting and don't like the old one that's up and want to change it to another old one, you can just change it then re-submit the picture. You're not waiting in a line, so you won't lose your place :)

Is it allowed to sell stuff like pics/or panties to some custies if they are requesting it? If so, how would you do this, just by the message system they use? I thought we can't give out any info to them (email, phone, IM) etc..

How do comments work? I check them every now and then, and for example today a new one turned up, but from the beggining of April. o.O I didn't have it so far. Can they comment weeks later? Or the site does not show it sometimes, and suddenly it just appears?

If they message you, you can reply them, and I believe you can attach pictures to the messages. As for panties, no you are not allowed to sell them, cause neither you nor the costumes are allowed to give out personal info like addresses, although I also saw some models offering panties.

I'm pretty sure they read and approve comments before they add them to your profile.

What do you mean you turned off your free chat? Are you talking about a different cam site (not Streamate)?

This DOES NOT turn off free chat - it just turns of 'guest chat' - all registered users can still come into your free chat. I know it's confusing, but trust me, I have this set to 'no' and I still have registered users in free chat and still have to do free chat.

No ofcourse not, but you are in any way not obliged to talk to the loosers without cc, the loosers with cc remain :)
