Hello,

The break button is a feature that we are currently testing. This is not available to all models.

Thank you.

Um...weirdness. Ask again!!

On the party chat subject - I LOVE it. Honestly, whenever I am in classic chat, I will have a conversation that goes like this:

guy a: Do you do foot shows?
Me: Hi guy a! Yes, I love foot shows!
guy b: I don't want a foot show
guy a: knee high socks?
Me: Yes, guy a, I have socks! Guy b, that's ok, I do lots of other things, what are you in the mood for?
Guy a: Why are you talking about other things? I want socks.
Me: Ok, guy a, I will show you my socks for gold
Guy b: Ew, why would I want to see your socks? Anal?
Guy c: Deepthroat
Me: Hi guy c, I have this dildo to deepthroat
Guy a: I don't want dildos in a foot show, why are you showing me that?
Guy b: Anal toys! Yeah, shove it up your ass!
Me: Guy b, this is for deepthroat, not my ass
Guy b: But I said anal and you showed it..


AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHH.

I find it IMPOSSIBLE to deal with them when they can't see and don't realise that others are talking to me as well. I just...no. I like being able to hold a conversation with multiple guys at once, I like having them encourage each other, I like being able to have a reg tell the other guys how awesome I am and to take me pvt.

Well, to be a little more technical about that, it is in the contract that it is POSSIBLE to have a chargeback.

I have never heard of anyone who has actually HAD a chargeback on SM. They specifically say that in most cases where there is a dispute, they will not charge you for it. I have been working pretty much every week on SM for a couple years and it hasn't happened.

Bottom line - it is legally possible, but on all practical basis, it won't.

Continue celebration!

^^ I think the only way this would come up is if they can prove that YOU YOURSELF conspired (on your own? with an accomplice?) to use a fraudulent card on the site to pay yourself. So unless you're an epic scam artist, you'll be safe from chargebacks.

Good luck! :-)

Don't they give the Party Chat option to everyone? I got Party Chat like 3 months before they gave me Gold Shows, so I thought they went separately. 0_o

And, yeah, Classic makes you sound like you went crazy and are talking to your imaginary friends. Even if you call them by names, they will be like "Hey, why you call me John, I'm Lucas!"

Anyone can answer? This 30 sec possibility for members stay in models private, is this possibility also in exclusive or only in premium? Can I ban quest in pay chat (premium or exclusive)? If It so, can quest still rate me if I ban? I mean, for examble there is something in my topic what will I do and what won´t and quest comes to my prvt and ask something which is mentioned really clearly in my topic that what I won´t do.. What do you do if you put in your topic what you won´t do and still quest in your paid chat ask it?

OTara: Yes, viewers have the 30 sec freebie in exclusive as well as premium.
Yes, you can ban in pay chat. If you do, I believe (99% sure) he cannot rate, but not completely positive on this.

If someone requests something that you wrote in your room topic that you won't do, do the following:
-thank him for joining you
-tell him, "Barry, just as I indicated in my room topic, I don't do BLAH BLAH...."
-offer an attractive alternative: "...but I am AMAZING at BLAH-DE-BLAH, and you will absolutely LOVE the way I YADDA YADDA!"

Then, start doing your awesome BLAH-DE-BLAH and YADDA YADDA.

Hope that helps! :-)

You are right, maybe decide to offer attractive alternatives helps=)

If you ban a customer in either premium or exclusive, he CAN still rate you. This is why I risk it and just end the show sometimes, hoping they'll think it was a connection error, when I'm certain I'll be getting a bad rating from a guy. Or sometimes if someone is being an asshat, I ignore him and talk to the other guys in the room... even if they're not really there ;) Sometimes none of that works and I still get a bad rating. But they can still rate if you kick or ban them. SM changed that over a year ago. You used to be able to ban & then they couldn't rate. I wish they'd change it back.

Exactly. They're so strict about us not giving guys email addresses, etc...yet when guys are sending us their phone numbers and dick pictures (I refuse to open attachments on SM) via PMs, we can't do anything about it, unless we're lucky enough to catch them in our room. I told SM in an e-mail I don't want so and so messaging me his information and pictures, and they gave me the "If you want to block a member..." speech.

So now when a guy messages me pictures of himself, I just delete it without responding. I know that if I respond, it'll just become a back and forth thing with a now-pissed-off guy. And since SM makes it damn near impossible to block these guys, I know I'm better off not responding to their pics.

I wish SM had some sort of accumulative 30 seconds.

Like, each time they come in it adds up to a total time spent in your room. I'm pretty sure this could reasonably be done. That would prevent these guys from abusing the system AND keep their asses covered for chargebacks (since that's why they say they have the 30 seconds in place to begin with).

It's so hard to catch some of these guys who abuse the system, and it's very frustrating and discouraging for the models. During one long private last night I had 8 guys come into the private session who were not charged. EIGHT. Makes me want to punch my computer.

I am with you on that one Sarah, I had quite a few of them today, and I feel the me covering up till that 30 sec is over really isn't fair to the guy in there, but then again, they did choose private not exclusive.. it would be nice that if after they leave your room, if you could ban them after the fact, I think that it would be fair to us too then. If they leave before their 30 second window is up.. we can still ban.

The one thing that I do do, is I open up their profile page as soon as they come into my private and if they leave, I can still note it that they came and left before 30 sec was over.. then when they do come back into my room, I can ban them :)

That's a good idea... I'll have to try that. I'm not usually close enough to my mouse to click on names but I will give it a shot... This also helps too if they change their user name you will still know it's someone who has been coming in and out!

Fuck you Streamate! The way that you made it so when you click on someone that they go to the top of your list has made it near impossible to ban anyone if you have a full room.

Of all the things that you needed to fix, what the FUCK did you decided to fix something that wasn't broken in the first place.

No love,

Also, out of curiosity...how do you ladies handle guys who (most likely, have their cocks in their hands) just want to ask you a million questions about your sexcapades and favorite position, etc? At some point, do you finally ask them to tip or go private, or do you just proceed with their sex questions interview? LOL.

Anytime guys ask me personal questions in free chat, I always say that I only tell them in private. It is a sweet and teasing way to get them to understand really fast that they ain't getting nothing for free from me. }:D

Can we sign a petition for reducing the 30 seconds ? It´s such a silly policy ..... Why SM wants to make the idiots happy giving them 30 seconds of our precious time for free ?

I don't think it would make a difference no matter how many models signed it.

It's a requirement put on them by their billing company to prevent chargebacks. I think if they got rid of it, the models would be the ones covering the charge backs where as right now, any charge backs the site gets THEY cover it, and we are still paid. So it is really nice in that instance. But still, frustrating!

I had the exact same thing happen last night,it was so incredibly frustrating!It was my first night to use the encoder all night,i just got a new laptop THANK GOD,but I never got a single exclusive.which is REALLY REALLY odd for me,i RARELY get privates,almost all of mine are exclusives.which made me start to think that the exclusive option may not have been showing up for them...im gonna ask them today and see what they have to say,i HATE private honestly,even though "technically" youre supposed to make more money if you have more than one guy in there...

I wish SM had some sort of accumulative 30 seconds.

God yes.

I am honestly ok with a 30 sec preview. Really. Because if you are taking me pvt, you don't get to see anything, and if I am already in there....well, fine. I'm not thrilled, but I get it. And I know that I would have far fewer pvts with multiple viewers without that feature. And I understand SM's legal reasons for having it. So I have made my peace.

But DAYUM I hate the abusers. I hate the fact that a guy can set a timer, and watch basically the entire show for free by continually bouncing in and out of the room. I HATE it. I further hate the fact that (like you) I am often not at the keyboard - I start at the computer, and then move back to the couch, so that I can lay back and get on with it. I don't want to be mid-diddle and notice someone popping in and out, and then have to sit up, stop what I am doing, click them, (if I can catch them) and ban them. Because that is an excellent way to get your current customer to LEAVE, and then lose money.

Surely SM can set something up that prevents someone from having more than one 30sec preview per pvt?

I really wish that SM would put a cooldown timer on the free peepers after a certain amount of free previews. One preview? Fine. Two? Alright, you didn't find a girl you like. Third time? Why don't you take a break for a couple of minutes from this nonsense and browse some girls in free chat instead.

how can i send guys videos / links to a video to d/l after they high tip'd for a GS? I asked them to send me a message after the show, and they did and now I don't know how to give them their videos without giving them a link to download them from (mediafire etc), I don't wanna get in trouble --or get them in trouble; I see all kinds of models offering this so I assumed the process would be slightly ... more simplified? would SM know these videos were rightfully won by these guys via high gold? I don't want to get myself or them in trouble... I see all kinds of stuff like this happening but can't figure out the logistics :(

Get some hosting Host Gator and Cam Girl Services are reasonable. Then you can learn how to create a folder to put your vids and photo packets in each one will have it's own link which you will be able to drop into emails for your clients. Both the above mentioned hosting service's have excellent customer service.

http://www.stripperweb.com/forum/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=2429333 thanks so much but how can we do this if no exchange of personal info on SM is allowed? one guy sent me his email address and another nothing but a message via pm. I assumed if i sent these guys links to d/l videos I would get banned -- or even for having them send me their email addresses I would get banned? I don't know how to relay the link to them. I mean, they rightfully -did- give their $$ to SM for these videos, I can't see there being an issue unless this is abused...

Well, we put links in their messages for them to download. Just do not include your e-mail address or any of that, only the direct link to download. That should be fine for the most part but I am not saying you won't get banned for that. If you worry so much about getting banned for exchanging the videos, just don't offer the videos next time. It is the best safe bet.

I just went on SM and 95% of the models' profile pics are not loading on any page. Weird. THey are working on something. Would be nice if they sent out a notice of some kind!

ETA: and the streamatemodels.com site won't load for me either. Was planning on logging on soon.

Last night when I was finished an exclusive session, instead of it giving me x seconds to get dressed, it put me right back in mothafuckin' FREE CHAT. I noticed it right away, and clicked the 'Stop Session' button before any registered members came in the room.

As long as the guy messages you first (unless you happen to have a previous message from him already in your inbox), you can click the Reply button and copy/paste video links into the message (I use MediaFire). And I could've sworn that a model on here or another forum said that Model Support told her it's fine to do this. But I know they don't want models exchanging numbers and e-mails with guys, and telling guys "Visit me tonight on MyFreeCams!" or "Highest tipper of the day gets a Skype show!" since it's telling guys to see you on cam elsewhere.

In the recent TV e-mail, they had a tidbit about pics and vids as though it is allowed....

"*If you're selling photos or videos, make sure to tell TV viewers they can get them too once they log in."

hmm... so does this mean selling recorded shows that happen ON Streamate or recordings of our OWN videos? I wish this was more clear for us... It'd be nice if we could edit our Gold Shows vids and use them as bargaining power for future Gold Shows. Just so you all know, I sent a message to support about videos and am waiting for their reply... will let you all know.

Technically those shows belong to SM now. It's in your contract. Though I can't see why they'd have a problem with you re-selling them since it will just bring them more money. However, I believe they're referring to "porn" type shoots you've done, etc. I saw a girl GIVING AWAY an absurd amount of pictures (saying exactly how many would be too close to using her name) for EVERY single guy who joined her gold show. Sure, she was making the shows, but I don't think she'll have any left to give away after that. And what happens with the guys say "but we already have those. what else will you give us, besides the show, for our $5 DONATION?" Haha. It's insane how girls are willingly training these guys. Insane.

I digress. The point was, that chick was selling pic sets of a threesome lesbian shoot she did for her member site. I think that's the kind of thing they mean.

Of course they're just trying to get your number. I'd say "then I guess you'll just have to listen to my sexy voice through your speakers."

Grrr....so the SM login page isn't working for me, and when it does it's intermittently. I can sometimes get to the show start page, but then I get a connection error after a few seconds. I also can't look at any other girls' profiles. This would happen the one day I'm over halfway to my goal. All this holiday theme shit fucking the site up.

Having encoder issues, spent half the night using standard chat. I contacted support and seemingly got an actual response from a human? Here it is:

Are you using wifi when streaming? If so, please connect your internet
cable to your computer. You can try lowering your bit/frame rate to 600/29.97. If you're not streaming in HD, you may try lowering your quality settings? this is located in the drop down menu, located on the upper left hand corner of the performance page, above your chat window.

Also, make sure that you have the latest version of flash.

If this does not help, run a speed test and let us know what the upload speed is: http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/

If you are using the encoder, disable the user alerts to see if it helps. If not, send us screen shots of your encoding log and encoder settings.

Surprisingly their suggestions seemed to actually help a little :)

So... I cammed on and off on SM but I was with that stupid IntrntMdling studio and my computer can't handle the encoder so I quit a couple of months ago because I wasn't making crap. Now I want to sign up with DP for my C4S but I have to be an existing DP member first, so I'm in the process of re-opening a SM account through them. I figure, since I'll have a DP SM acount might as well use it, right? Since my main site has really slowed down?

Problem is, I kind of dread going back to SM but the daily payment will be nice, and of course not having to give up 80% like I previously was will be a huge boost. I just... Ugh, need to figure out a way to maxmize the crap of my new girl status. I used to be a first page row 4-6 girl and I'm intimidated by how long it will take me to get back there, if I ever do at all. When I stopped camming on SM I was middle of page two and that placement SUCKED.
