Hey Courtney, it's easy.

Just sign up w/KGB studios ~~ then you'll always be a "top model" on SM. hahahaha (That was a joke~ pls don't get your g-strings in a twist everyone). But seriously, I can only go by what I see.

It sounds like you are already a "top model" through your own hard work in spite of the studio. I feel for you. I am with the saaaaaammme wallet-raping studio as you, and I have yet to get up the guts to break my contract because I do not want to shut off that income stream at Xmas time. When I signed up with IM (through a friend) I knew *nothing* about this business and was just trying to make a few extra bucks temporarily.

I will leave the studio, because thanks to you and Roast and others, I know better now.

Anyway Courtney I am pulling for you and I admire you for taking the leap.

Has anyone else had someone in their free chat on SM that they were unable to kick or block? I had a user named "Anonymous" lurking for 15 minutes or more and when I tried to kick them out, nothing happened. When I tried to block them, I got a message saying, "Anonymous is already blocked from messaging" but they were still in my room and stayed for 30 min. until I ended the show (I tried going on break, but they stayed in the room) and then I got back on. I emailed support, but haven't heard back yet.

It happens to me all the time and has for at least the past 6 months. The person is not really there still, just the person's name. Since you got the message that said he was already blocked, it means he was blocked from sending messages but not from chat. It's not possible to block & have that result while the customer is still sitting in your room, so that means he wasn't really there.

If you check your block list, his name should be at the top. If not, check the date Jan 1, 1970. That's probably where he is.

WOW. Aside from an awesome night on SM, I had a BIG BIG BIG error!!!!!! :( :( :(

I was in pvt for about 25 minutes, and there was a guy who appeared to say in there past the guy who originally went in.... it showed this guy as in private for the entire time.... turns out he stayed less than 30 seconds so was not even charged, but his name appeared in the private chat list the whole time and past the other guys leaving!!!!!!!

So there I was for about 3 minutes in FREE CHAT spread eagle!!!!!!!!! :( I'm so pissed. I only realized it once guys started flooding in my free chat and one tipped me! :( I was like what.... and logged off real fast. OMG I was so embarrassed. :(

Not trying to make you feel worse, but I'm absolutely horrified for you! where is my xanax stashed?I have a feeling I'm gonna need to knock myself out or I may never get to sleep now! These bastards need to fix their glitches like yesterday, this is getting to be passed the point of ridiculous!I'm gonna have a twitchy eyeball and jump at small noises while camming tmrw for sure!

When I worked with (a Streamate studio), there was a guy named UNBLOCKABLEASSHOLE who I could NOT block. Now THAT is some creepy shit, ain't it???

Actually sometimes this isn't the case.
Not too long ago I had a guy coming in saying a lot of rude things. SO, I blocked him. I can't remember his name but he was still in the room typing to me and when I tried to kick/block him again it told me he was already blocked. I checked through all of my blocks and he was NOWHERE.
I messaged support to report him and to figure out what the deal was...
They just responded with a message telling me how to block somebody and to BE CAREFUL because once I do they will never be able to enter my room again.
Oh yes SM, good one. I have NO idea how to block somebody. That's why I have 700 blocked.
So, I responded to them and I told them they missed the point of my message and told them again why I messaged in the first place. Still, no help from them. USELESS

I had one named "Code Red" who trolled and I was not able to block him.

A little creepy -- hacker, maybe?

I reported him to SM even though I know it's pointless to do so. sigh....

This takes the cake!

I always wonder (briefly) what these guys/girls are like in real life. Is the whole point of the exercise to try and get blocked? Why?

I just assume they are unstable in some way, but still......

How can I get the higher rates than 4.99 for forever? I asked them, they simply raised my rates to 9.99 I suspected something so before lowering my prices too much I lowered my premium to 8.99 and now I cannot see anything above 8.99. Now if I lower it to 8.49 then it's going to be my highest option after it?

I thought once we get the higher prices we can keep them. This is so lame, I asked for it so I can experiment with it, but how to experiment if I loose the option instantly when modifying it?

I don't know why they say this. They CAN enter your room again if you go into your Model Settings and remove the block.

I thought too Once I lowered then I cannot take it higher again. Now exclusive is locked lower for me than before.

Ew. Fortunately I tried it first. But now Idk what to do with it. I don't want to bump it from 4.99 to 9.99 just like THAT, I think that's too much. Altough most of the time I wanted to keep excl higher, I thought I can play around with higher prem. lower excl. a bit again, or higher rates, when I'm doing shows in the bath or something. Meh.. What the hell should I do? I hate to decide my prices and now it annoys me to hell.... if I pick something and decide to go higher again, I'll have to beg them again.

Yes, sometimes there is a glitch, but if you check in your Jan 1, 1970 portion of your block list, or reorganize by date, they should be there. It IS possible that it's a hacker, but in my experience 99% of the time, it's a site glitch. Hackers you can't do anything about. Neither can SM, so there's no point to e-mailing them about it. They can't control accounts that aren't really there.

Well, it turns out it was a glitch. The guy ended up on my blacklist but the chat box was not checked. SM support was actually helpful and responded asking what date and time he was in my chat, and then responded again letting me know he was on my blacklist.

Thanks all!

^And actually I have a typo here. I meant to say "reorganize by name". Sometimes you may have blocked the person from messages before because the same thing happened on a previous date, or because you were blocking him right as he left. So if you have the glitch the second time, instead of showing up on the top of your block list, he will show up on the date you initially blocked him. That's why I say to reorganize the list by name and look for him that way. And if you block at the same instant he's exiting your chat room, or because of some other glitches, he may show up as being blocked on Jan 1, 1970, which means he will not show at the top of your list.

Glad you were able to find him tho.

Something similar happened to me last night, if you read on page 60.

I also had several of the alerts that someone left but never saw them enter nor saw them in the room list.

It sounds like you are already a "top model" through your own hard work in spite of the studio. I feel for you. I am with the saaaaaammme wallet-raping studio as you, and I have yet to get up the guts to break my contract because I do not want to shut off that income stream at Xmas time. When I signed up with IM (through a friend) I knew *nothing* about this business and was just trying to make a few extra bucks temporarily.

Aww, you are incredibly kind but I am definitely NOT a top model :) Even during my best times on SM I never considered myslf a top model, though I have been making a living at this alone for over two years now. I also started with IM for a few extra bucks to save for a cross country move. I had a great full time corporate job with a well known company and they were supposed to just transfer me to one of the offices here. When that fell through I was forced to turn to camming full time, and here I am years later. I don't regret how things panned out at all because I love my job, but I do regret not doing more reserach before joining IM.

Know another thing I regret? Staying with them for as long as I did! I signed up with them in April 2010 and didn't stop camming with them until three months ago. Didn't officially resign until yesterday. Have you ever calculated how much money you are losing because of them? I did and I nearly wanted to cry. For every $100 other girls make we're only getting $60. At one point last year I was working 25-30 days/month. Know what that means? That I lost out on over $1,000 every month simply because of IM's greed and me not knowing any better. Please don't let them continue taking advantage of you the way I let them take advantage of me.

The sad part is, I would probably still be with them had I not switched to another site that I can survive on. I totally get not wanting to lose an income stream, that's exactly why I stayed for so long, but looking back I wish I would have bitten the bullet sooner. Learn from my mistake, girl! And maybe look into signing up with DailyPay so you don't have to wait that whole year to get back on SM? Also, maybe go to the DP forum and emai PJ to see if he/she can expidite your application? I'm rooting for you!

I'm thinking about doing a hold show for the first time just to try it out. My question is if, I set up my gold show for a certain amount, while I am working towards that, am I still able to continue my regular classic chat where I would be able to still take privates while waiting to reach my gold show goal?

Also if I am not successful in reaching my desired amount, do I get to still keep the amount of money I've already got pledged from members towards the show, even if the show never happens because the dollars amount was not reached? I would hate to spend 3hours trying to get a hold show to happen just for the amount not be reached and my whole time just wasted especially if I couldn't take privates in between waiting.

I'm thinking about doing a hold show for the first time just to try it out. My question is if, I set up my gold show for a certain amount, while I am working towards that, am I still able to continue my regular classic chat where I would be able to still take privates while waiting to reach my gold show goal?

No, whilst you're doing a countdown to a GOLD show, no one can take you private or exclusive.


Also if I am not successful in reaching my desired amount, do I get to still keep the amount of money I've already got pledged from members towards the show, even if the show never happens because the dollars amount was not reached? I would hate to spend 3hours trying to get a hold show to happen just for the amount not be reached and my whole time just wasted especially if I couldn't take privates in between waiting.

If you don't hit your target, all the tippers automatically get all their money back.

Now this is funny, this guy seany120 came pvt and left the same second like but his name will be up in the list there, then i hear the noise of a leaving member and see Bison23 appear like he left my pvt but he was never in/ never entered, all this time i was in freechat visible to members. WTF? This is happening more and more often lately hmmm

Aww, you are incredibly kind but I am definitely NOT a top model :) Even during my best times on SM I never considered myslf a top model, though I have been making a living at this alone for over two years now. I also started with IM for a few extra bucks to save for a cross country move. I had a great full time corporate job with a well known company and they were supposed to just transfer me to one of the offices here. When that fell through I was forced to turn to camming full time, and here I am years later. I don't regret how things panned out at all because I love my job, but I do regret not doing more reserach before joining IM.

Know another thing I regret? Staying with them for as long as I did! I signed up with them in April 2010 and didn't stop camming with them until three months ago. Didn't officially resign until yesterday. Have you ever calculated how much money you are losing because of them? I did and I nearly wanted to cry. For every $100 other girls make we're only getting $60. At one point last year I was working 25-30 days/month. Know what that means? That I lost out on over $1,000 every month simply because of IM's greed and me not knowing any better. Please don't let them continue taking advantage of you the way I let them take advantage of me.

The sad part is, I would probably still be with them had I not switched to another site that I can survive on. I totally get not wanting to lose an income stream, that's exactly why I stayed for so long, but looking back I wish I would have bitten the bullet sooner. Learn from my mistake, girl! And maybe look into signing up with DailyPay so you don't have to wait that whole year to get back on SM? Also, maybe go to the DP forum and emai PJ to see if he/she can expidite your application? I'm rooting for you!

Great post, Courtney.

I am seriously contemplating leaving IM now... I was a bit foolish after signing up through an agent/'friend' after they convinced me it was the best option. Ugh,... I was so naive. But I have been worried about cutting my income especially before Christmas. Now after reading your post, makes me want to leave more than ever!! And it makes sense... why should I be taken advantage of to receive such a low cut... then again I do wonder if IM really helps with placement and traffic.

I will try look into leaving the studio after Christmas whilst working other sites if there is going to be a waiting period or something... Think I will try sign up again through DP too. I really hope that IM won't kick up a fuss about it and will let me go on my merry way...

@xKikox, I emailed Janet saying I want out and she emailed back within a couple of hours saying I've been released as per my request. I've forwarded her email to SM model support to confirm that my account really has been deactivated and that I am cleared to sign up with another studio. As soon as I get confirmation from SM I'm signing up with DP. The whole process shouldn't take more than a week, some girls have reported it can take as little as three days if you're lucky.

Being in that studio does NOT help your placement. Trust me. I went from being in row 4-6 front page/#1 in my category during the hours I logged on to page 3 after taking a two month break. That combined with no longer having encoder-compatible hardware, I should say. I emailed Janet and asked what I could do about getting my placement back up or at least better and she couldn't tell me anything I haven't already heard here. I only managed to climb up to the middle of page two before I finally said eff it and started camming elsewhere.

@Marina: COFFEEEEE!!!! Coffee is the love of my life <3

Thank you Courtney. I am pleasantly surprised!! I was thinking that IM always caused major trouble for models looking for a release.

You are right about the $$. There is no reason to continue letting them take, take, take.

One day I would like to start spending more time on SM, and a new start with DP is great motivation. I will let you know when I'm out of IM.

Thanks again and congratulations!

It's the ipad app, girls. don't be too stressed about it. i don't want to go into details out in the open, but you can PM me if you want. And as long as you're an active contributor to the forum, I can explain it to you. Main thing, if you have any regs who are using iPad and having trouble viewing you, tell them to try using a regular computer & see if that helps.

There is no benefit to customers for knowing the info, but if they think there may be a benefit, it could cause more frustration for us.

Wow, the site was so weird last night. No wonder more girls are talking about the customers getting "stuck" in their room. I tried to work last night and 1. it was dead, and 2. every few minutes a name would get stuck in my room and I could block from msg but not chat, and couldn't kick. Very strange. Maybe they saw everyone complaining here and tried to work on it. Hey, I can wish.

12-13-2012, 07:38 AM
^^ I have had this a lot too! What is so strange is even if I go exclusive their name is still stuck in the guest chat room! Sometimes even if I stop the encoder - there name is there. It's like they are ghosts!!

Usually when that happens I notice it's on a night that I am having connection issues.

^ Be careful with caffeine pills. They usually make you crash worse than foods and beverages that naturally contain caffeine, such as coffee and energy drinks. Seriously they can mess up your sleep cycle like crazy and end up doing much more harm than good. I've gotten caught in the cycle of having to take energy pills to stay awake and then needing sleeping pills to go to sleep. It is awful and wrecks your body.

In other news, I am having one hell of a time choosing my new SM screen name. So bummed I can't use my old one. I don't think I'll be camming on SM much since being encoder-less means I started earning crap money, but since I have to set up a SM DP account for something else I might as well use it, right? I'm also not sure if I should try to re-invent my cam persona. I've only been gone from SM for about 3 months. I'm wondering if that's too soon to come back with a different style of doing things. I'm also thinking like crazy on how I should rock my new girl tag. When I first started camming I didn't know anything about camming and I definitely struggled to come into my own. This time I want to do things right.

Anyone met the watch-guy yet? How do you keep him around for a longer time? He wants a watch, preferably silver. If I say, yeah I have a watch to wear, he hits exclusive, then patiently waits untill I find the watch. But as soon as he sees the watch he says "mmmm hot" and leaves... I don't get it. He waits and waits, then finially he sees the watch, and leaves. I don't think he doesn't like it or else why does he say "mmmm hot"?

Does anyone know - if you block a referral guy, do you still make 20% on what he spends???

I have a guy who rated me a 1 after only 1 min in pvt chat and he has been doing TONS of 1 min or less chats that I'm making 20% on... I just blocked him but will I still get the 20% on future pvts he does?

His pvts are all so short.... makes me wonder if he's rating everyone a 1....

Tonight on Streamate a guy kept saying that he was trying to do phone with me in Exclusive and he said it wasn't working so out of guilt I set it so he could do phone in Premium. I noticed that on the Streamate page it said I was receiving an incoming call from him but my phone never rang. He tried it again and still it didn't work. My phone is turned on and (double checking), yes I have the correct telephone number on the site. He kept saying towards the end for me to call him and Spidey Sense began tingling. I figured this was a trick on his part to get my number, though he even suggested I block my number (I don't know how) and I have to wonder if there is a work around the whole blocked number thing. Anyway, I felt guilty and was hungry so I felt like it was the perfect time to make myself dinner and take a break.

Was this a trick to get my number? I know it doesn't matter because it is against the rules to call someone or give out my number and I know from working as a stripper that giving out your number to customers is a quick recipe for disaster and I don't want to have to fear my phone. I can just imagine if someone had my number and started calling me every time he saw me log onto Streamate.

It wasn't a trick - there were legitimate issues with the phone option on SM tonight. I had similar problems with two guys (however both times for me were in exclusive):
- the first was exactly like what you experienced, the screen said I had an incoming call but nothing ever went through to my phone.
- second time the call went through but then disconnected a few seconds after I answered while it was trying to connect to his phone. The guy said the same thing happened to him earlier with another model.


Both guys ended the sessions. These fucking glitches are getting ridiculous...

^Sometimes the guys are trying to get your number, but the phone system is notoriously glitchy. NEVER give out your number, blocked or not. It could get you suspended b/c it's contact info. Or, even if you call the guy w/ go*gle voice, who really knows what he's got going on. He might then blow up your phone with texts. It's just a bad idea. But yes, sometimes the guys are just so horny and want to hear your voice that they don't care. We can't expect them to understand the possible ramifications of giving out a phone number. They might not even plan to use it again when they get it. But the next day when they're horny again and don't have money? They might look up that number in their phone and give you another call.

I was doing a long private in group with my customer and all of a sudden I see this guy leave the chat room and it said he never came in it. He was not charged. Also I had two guys that stayed in my free chat the whole time I was on and I could not block or kick them.

12-15-2012, 11:06 AM
It's a site glitch. They're not really there. Know how I know? Because when they come back in, the name appears on the list a second time.

Yes, it sucks, girls. But no one needs to freak out. I have it confirmed from two customers that the "invisible" ones cannot see you at all, they just get an error and don't even know they've ever been in your room. And the "stuck" ones are just names, not accts in your room anymore.

I'm sure it'll right itself eventually.

I logged in with customer acct to check my own stream and my customer name was stuck several times last night and once today even after I left. It was most aggravating in paid when it would say customer logged off but name still be in the box as present, makes me afraid I am gonna accidently be exposing myself sooner or later. Slow for me today, but is better than nothing! Good luck girls!

Last night I had a guy sit in my room for hours only chatting here and there. After every private or excl he would come back and park his ass in free chat. So I kicked him (3 times!) When he came back in the room I told everyone I'm signing off and BAM takes me private. I know guys love to do this on MFC but this was the 1st time it happened to me on SM

I was screaming it was so frustrating wih that on top of it being vry very slow.:(
