How do you find out what address your check was sent to?
I recently changed my address and I did it on time (before the tuesday before cutoff )
I still haven't gotten it and no one is responding to my emails.

I'm so pissed right now :biting:
been online TWO hours (around this time of the day is a hit or miss for me $ wise but always many guys online anyway so nice to hustle them) for almost nothing.
Tried to fix this damn placement issue I've been pushed back to the bottom of second page and back to normal placement (3rd row of the first) for like few minutes.
Rebooting, cleaning cache and history, switching to wifi, hecking windows updates, nothing.
I was so in the mood to go back to work.
Hopefully tonight will be bak to normal (last week even if I took a break of almost 2 weeks I had good placement right away everytime I logged in, too bad I didn't stay online that much).

Have you guys gotten your checks?
is it possible to make as much on sm as some girls do on mfc i see some girls on mfc with huge tips like thousands of dollars i know thats not common but does that ever happen on sm? A few days out of the week I get tips of 100-150 one time someone gave me 500 gold but does sm really have a huge earning potential? Is it possible to have huge earnings working a few hrs a day I average about 50 per hr on sm (on daily pay) but it feels like I'm working my ass off to get it.
There's always going to be girls on cam sites that receive/make outrages amounts of money. There are usually only a hand full of them though. Like on Streamate they advertise, "make up to $10,000 a week!". Umm yeah right you can probably count the amount of girls who do that on one hand lol. How long have you been camming? What are your rates? How many hours a day/week do you cam? There are lots of factors to consider here. $50 an hour isn't bad. That's half a grand in 10 hours. Just ask yourself how long it would take you in a vanilla job to make that amount of money. It's always good to want to strive to make more, but to be at that point right now is not a bad thing either. Also, remember Streamate is a totally different hustle, vibe, style, types of members etc then MFC.
Or if its even possible to make that with a vanilla job. Most people working vanilla jobs aren't making $50 an hour or even close to that. Imagine what you'd have to do to make $50 an hour working a vanilla job. Either tons of a school and debt plus years of working or years upon years of working up the latter.

Jesus, glitch from hell. A pvt put me show for free in freechat while I am in pvt, obviously, red room.
Pretty upset, but thanks to a reg who told me I was in freechat.
I done blasted out in an email to the SM support.

I'm feeling some type of way cuz I was trying to be sly on SM and add my watermark (I only use my first name on SM, but my persona name is longer) on my pics, which worked fine. When I add it, I make it as transparent as possible on the pics in the albums, but clear on my biopic shot. I mean, since we can't advertise our stuff, I figure I could be googled.
Then yesterday, support rejected my last submissions (biopic and album), stating the reason being "Possible copyright violation". I didn't know what that meant, since it is MY name, so I contested the decision, adding that it's my main name, even as listed in MC (which there's some arrangement with). Still waiting on a response...
In the meantime, they say "Pick you battles"... I just changed my watermark to read my name on there. I just can't post stuff without some kind of mark. Gotta be more clever...

I got two cheques this week.. one yesterday (for Nov 19th) and one today (for Nov 26th).
Or if its even possible to make that with a vanilla job. Most people working vanilla jobs aren't making $50 an hour or even close to that. Imagine what you'd have to do to make $50 an hour working a vanilla job. Either tons of a school and debt plus years of working or years upon years of working up the latter.
I never even thought of that, good point! I meant to make $500. But yeah, you're right schooling would be pretty much inevitable in most cases. I looked up jobs that make $50/hour.. eeek! :yikes: No thanks, I would rather stick to camming. :P
50 jobs that pay $50/hour (http://www.careerbuilder.ca/article/msn-507--not-found-50-jobs-that-pay-50-an-hour/)
One more (http://www.careerbuilder.com/article/cb-1817-job-search-15-jobs-that-pay-50-an-hour/)

Good for you! I had that happen to me a couple of months back. I emailed admin immediately, mainly cover my ass that I'm not doing shows in open room. Their reply was basically, "umm we looked into it but don't know. Thanks for the heads up though!". Excellent.

Did you emailed Liz or just model support? I don't think you have much of a choice at this point but to wait for a reply. :-\
The last cheques were issued "Nov 26, 2014" so I'm guessing that's when they were mailed out..? Did you change your address info before or after this date?
Edit: the 26th was a Wednesday, so my guess would be you're ok if you changed it before the 26th their time, but I don't know.

That's what happened to me today too! I posted about it a few posts up from yours. Was your feed lagging and that's why you broadcast in free chat? That's what happened to mine...I was lagging like close to a minute behind and after my exclusive was over my show continued to stream in free chat since I was behind! Omg! I logged out real quick when I saw it!

I just saw this... I know they can be picky with certain photos. Which is weird, because there are a couple of porn girls that have their dvd covers or whatever in their galleries. So I'm not sure if they override those pics for those girls in specific? Anyway, I have my SM screen name watermarked on my gallery photos because I watermark everything. The only thing I don't on SM is my profile pic. I think if you put the same name on the pics as your room name you should be fine. It was ok for me.

Yesterday I spent like an hour sitting in an empty room until someone told me it was showing I was on break. That's something new. Now I think SM have a glitch development department or something and they are getting more inventive every day.

Something new happened today.
Someone took me exclusive, like I got the little pop up, and then no one was in paid chat. And no one was in my room.
And I was no longer showing on the 1st page?
I had to restart.
It was so weird.

Been getting these from different people. They complain my video is cropped or blacked out from the bottom so they can only see my face.
I can't tell if it's an actual bug or they are trying to trick me into standing up or tilting the cam down. Has anyone else had the issue?
UPD: Yes, it's a bug. A person told me he reported it to the support and they acknowledged it was an issue with some browsers.

I'm seeing a lot of girls lagging this morning...not everyone, but at least 40% of the rooms I've clicked on today. I was having the same problem yesterday, and am afraid to log on today. I wonder what's going on that's causing the lag for so many of us?! Anyone else noticing this?

Don't be afraid :-) I made bank one day of glitches and lag. But yes, I saw 1 out of 8 rooms freezing... could be their location and weather interference?

It just scares me because yesterday my lag was so bad that I was in free chat still showing my private show because I was so far behind. Being naked in free chat is reason not to even log in :( Seems okay so far today though...I'm keeping an eye on my stream!

Is there a reason I can't find myself unless I look for my name specifically, my new account just got approved and its a couples account in the transgender category. I look in every category I could possibly be, but I should be in the transgender category and I cannot find myself unless I look on the search bar. Has this ever happened to anyone? Would Streamate be able to fix this?

This. ^^
Another way to double check is if you search your name in the search bar and cannot see your profile come up then you have a region blocked.
Though I do believe you are still searchable on the other white label sites, just a heads up.

Try paying for the fedex ones. It's $30 but you'll know where it is at least at all times and you'll get it every Friday.

I just recently found out that IE is best for me chrome and firefox give me the freezing and skippy feed that has been a HUGE money making issue for me. its probably a lot to do with the fact i have a lot of tabs open all the time in chrome and 2-3 windows open. and chrome does take up a of ram depending on what in the tab (text/media etc). i had pretty much the entire room watching me for like 2-3 hours in my chatzy the other night and my stream was noticeably smoother in IE vs chrome and FF.

hi ladies I just got back into camming again and i wanted to know what is our take/percentage on streamate. I got tipped 5 golds a few times and only made 1.75. I thought our take was 60 percent. What is our commission on streamate thank you.

DO any of you ladies have problems with men from Scandanavia being EXTREMELY CHEAP. Like NEVER going to private. It has gotten to the point where when a guy tells me hes from any of those countries, I just say "Are you sure you can afford me?" Because I don't even like to waste my time.
I have noticed this too. And they always say rude things to me like "You are boring" "You're no fun" when I don't flash them for free. I often wonder why it is like this. I used to work for a Swedish company with lots of Scandinavian guys and they weren't cheap. But maybe because their stance on sex is much more open out there they don't feel as though they should pay for it? I dunno but I'm glad I'm not the only one! Very interesting.

It is 35%, so that is correct. If the member has signed up to the site through your cammodels link, you earn 20% of what they spend on other models, and 55% on what they spend on you.
I'm not sure where you got the 60% from... I know that is the pay out on clips4sale. Maybe you are thinking of that?

Using the cammodel link: 20% of what they spend on other performers and 75% of what they spend on you.
