Yeah, I saw a girl in freechat earlier wearing dental floss. I could see tits, labia, clit, and half her asshole. Only thing I couldn't see was her actual pussy hole. :-/
No, I mean like I think this girl thought she was in pvt. One of the guys said to her "you know you're not in pvt, right?" and soon after she looked up, turned the cam to the ceiling and logged off.
I'm worried that it's a glitch and it could happen to any of us.

I just had a man come into chat and ask if I had an amazon wish list link for him. I said no cause I don't have one set up. Then I wondered if that was a test or something, like if I would break a rule. I get so confused on which sites it is allowed to give that out, and which it's not. If he comes back and I do set one up, can I give him the link or no? And under my cam name, he can't see my actual information can he, by purchasing things for me?

This happened to me. I'm very careful about not showing nudity in freechat and it said the guys were all in paid. So I was fingering myself for all to see, while everyone showed up under "paid" chat. Thank fuck for the guys who mentioned the free show or I wouldn't have known... :(

I have discount block sessions enabled on my account but two guys tonight said the option wasnt showing up for them. One went private with me and after we were done he came back into free and I asked if it showed for him. He said no.
I'm not sure why the option isn't being seen.

Their daily limit isn't high enough. If they don't have the money for the full block then they won't even have the option.

Hi! I'm a cam girl and I tried searching for this info on SW but I didn't find it, so here is my question ^^
Do we have to pay for the long-distance if we use the phone chat option on Streamate? For example, if a customer from the US calls me (i'm from Canada), will I have to pay the long-distance on my phone bill or is Streamate taking care of that?
Sorry if it looks like a silly question, but I'm really asking myself. :)

Hi Nastia! I'm a Canadian camgirl also (yay!) and I don't get any charge since it is an incoming call. Double check your plan (I'm with Telus) but I haven't had to pay a single penny. And it's not a silly question. I was freaked out after having a 45 minute call one day and that's when I looked into it and realized I don't get charged. Have fun!

Fit in, bb, I used to perv you when you worked MFC before you even came over to SM. I'm glad you started with them again as your old regs must have missed you! I was worried about you since you went MIA hehe.

I have NEVER had a problem with the encoder until this week, I have been dropping,and I noticed I was on page 3 when I am normally on the first page... and at this time, Is when everything started going down. My frames per sec went into poor. I have restarted computer, router, motem and nothing works..
I'm beginning to wonder if its SM

^^ that seems to be everyone's problem. I had perfect grades & ranking for my first few weeks on SM and I heard everyone here complaining about this very same thing.... they talked about reconfiguring their encoder and etc., I kept my piehole shut because I didn't want to jinx myself, but I was like oh joy! I didn't even have to change the recommended settings, SM's ranking shows my connection farts rainbows..... I reached top row in my category and stayed there, felt the traffic.... then crickets. I go check myself and I'm in the second page. Without HD or audio showing. And with a profile picture I already changed.
I think it's random. Please let it be so that I can hope it'll go away.

I think it just may be SM. I tried EVERYTHING yesterday. Uninstalled/reinstalled encoder. tried a different browser. tried a different webcam. tried wireless. tried being wired. tried a different i.p. resetting router and modem. nothing changed. and its also saying im not using audio!! when I clearly am. I was on page 5 when I am usually on page 1. I still made money thanks to my regs who all said I looked and sounded fine as usual though ;/

As I posted the other day...I'm also having this issue. So far support hasn't been much help, but "they're gonna get back to me". They did admit that they are aware of the audio issue (showing as no audio even though we are using audio) and are working on getting that fixed. I guess it's just a -wait it out- thing right now. I will be emailing them constantly until it gets fixed though...I suggest you all do the same.

My placement is terrible. I took some days off so I'm working to try and increase that at the moment, but I looked at the ranking page and:
Streaming in Widescreen (16:9)?
No
Streaming in HD?
No
Streaming with Audio?
No
Bullshit because I totally am! What the hell?

Try streaming without the encoder...in good 'ol HD widescreen from the dropdown on their interface. When I did that, all of my stuff shot up to excellent and my HD and widescreen were once again a "Yes"...the only thing missing now is audio. Once I went back to using the encoder everything was locked in place. My placement is still back a page but it's still better than being on page 6 like I was before I did that.

I can confirm that guys can't rate gold shows, but I've definitely been rated for tips in free chat, in shows, and the 'thank you' tips afterwards. Like, you know those guys who just really loved the show and tipped during and after in addition to paying? I've gotten three separate 5 star ratings at a time from those dudes. So maybe it's only for some tips?
Marina Starr
10-29-2014, 02:49 PM
I'm almost positive they can only rate in shows and 'thank you' afterwards but not for tips just in free chat. Can you imagine some dude tipping $5 gold in free chat and asking to see pussy, ass and rate you 1 star for refusing?

Yeah, Marina is correct. They can only rate you after a private or exclusive show. And only their latest rating counts. If they've rated you before, then that rating "drops off" when they rate you again.

Yeah guys can rate in Gold tips.
A trick of mine for privates to try to avoid shitty ratings is if you have a feeling someone is going to give you a bad rating, I'm pretty sure they can't rate your show if you end it on your end, by either booting or blocking him. I've never had someone rate me after I've force ended a show.

Okay. Because I double checked my log history and I've definitely got a few 'post show' tips with ratings. So, for example, I have 3 5-star ratings for one guy (only one counts, as Solo pointed out) because of tip rating. I can't find a single example of free-chat rating, but I'm not digging super hard. I swear it's happened, but my memory is foggy more than 2 weeks back and yeah...
I'm certainly on board with 'em not being able to though! Lordy! You're absolutely right Marina--1 star for no pussy? Die fucker!

Omg thank youuuu for posting this!! I was going to upgrade the highest i could which was going to cost me 140 a month! Then they told me they had to have a tech come out to do that. But after reading this....I'm going to hold off on it. We live relatively close, wonder if that has anything to do with it.
funny tho...streamate HAS to know... I still sent them those screenshots of my computer and internet, yet they absolutely nothing to say back to me. funnyyyyy... and the thing was? they asked for the screenshots!
It's def NOT YOU or your speeds. I have .75 upload LOLZ (10 download) and I use the encoder on the highest recommended settings just fine....
The only thing I miss about living in the city is FIOS. *cries*
But yah... I get tons of traffic... never have an issue, especially like you are describing. That is definitely on their end...

SOOOO i kept directing all those guys who couldn't get into my show to customer support... and NOWWWW when im streaming using the encoder its saying my bit rate is 3.5 like wtf...i have it set to 800??
I've lost my placement....
wrote sm.....but DOUBT they are going to help me. I feel like they pushed me back on purpose because they couldn't fix their issue. so many guys were writing complaints about paying for the gs and not getting in.
I still upgraded my internet...not as fast as i could, but i upgraded....
I uninstalled and reinstalled the encoder.... I've logged out and back in.
I go from being a model on the second row first page, to being a model on the bottom of page 2.
I can't work like this.
and now im stressing about bills......great.

I guess good money is still possible on sm even with shitty placement. 100/hr works for me. it was just harder to pull out of those men.

This is a vaguely Streamate related question. I'm considering growing out my pubic hair and was wondering if anyone has seen an increase/decrease in earnings from doing so? I know there are specific categories for hairy girls (and I get asked if I am often) so I'm seriously considering it.
I haven't had hair since I was a teenager so even the thought is weird to me.

Lol, I'm the same way. Plus, growing older I feel it just fits me better to have some hair down there. I let it grow natural, but still shave underneath so it's not messy looking (my pubic hair is kinda patchy underneath). I also let my legs and pits go for weeks/days since it doesn't show on cam lol. Guys love the hairy pussy though...even though you still have the guys who expect to see it for free lol..."just show the top so I can see how hairy bb"...fuck those guys.

Decided to come back to SM to do slightly more hardcore stuff to (hopefully) make more money.
I was with DP and I tried telling PJ that I wanted a new account, but he changed my name instead... Sooo I tried contacting SM support and they just deleted my account after I told them what happened.
So I'm like wtf.
Can I make a new account with the same name? Because I JUST change my whole alias to match the new theme I'm going with.
Support tells me I have to make a new name, like add extra letters or characters on it or something...
Kinda annoyed, because I wanted to have the same name everywhere... bagh.
What's a cute/easy way to turn my name into a different name on SM that could still lead guys to find me elsewhere?

You can add "xxx" after your name...or xyournamex or if you have two words seperate them with _
I'm sure with minor things like that, guys will still find your name elsewhere.
