Hey !
I'm a litle tired and i was posting from my phone !I was just shocked about what host was saying in her free chat about hosts that are reciving tv shows !i do get tv shos and i don't feel like i dont deserve them because i m ugly and not as what as she is !I dont feel like if i dont fuck my ass i m a bad model ,maybe not every guy on streamate is up for anal !SO what i m trying to clear up now ,is that i was just telling you about what i heard in a host room !those was her words not mine !maybe my firs post wasnt clear ,and maybe u didnt understand that those wasnt my words !!!It acctualy realy hurt my feeling to hear a host that btw was almost 40y old thinking like this !At that age you should know that beauty comes in differents shapes !And that streamate or tv producers doesnt discriminate you !That host ,i m not gonna give names here was somehow talking whit her guys but adressing to other host ,and that made me angry !we should ,and i meand she should look at his own room ,see why is not working right for her ,not calling names for other hosts!Hope i made myself clear now and sorry for my bad post ,was on my phone and realy angry !i felt insulted by that host ,i felt like she was sure that she is the only girl that deserves tv shows or guys to throw large aount of gold on her!That is rude and ...well have no words !I mean if a 18y old girl is saying that shit I just say well she young ,but she wasnt that young not to know that every women has her own beauty and her own base of clients !And if tv producer gives shows to some girls and she is not getting any maybe for something that she is not doing ,not coz they are discriminating here !

I saw that too. She's talking about another model saying a girl just got 250 or something gold and said the girl's a nobody and doesn't deserve it and she was a little bitter about it. Poor taste.

I don't want to sound rude but you better get focused in your room, gossip brings nothing positive. If you don't want to get hurt by other models words it's simple: stop perving in their rooms.

This is true too. BUt I learn tons from Perving other rooms.

^had the same thing going on Deepthoughts, glad you brought it up. I also lots a lot of my favs, and since the new layout the adding up is very very slowly if growing at all. Before the new layout I had a lot of new favs a day

Im glad Im not the only one to notice it. Some days it just goes down and I cant believe guys have stopped adding me so I dont know what is up? Its possible they are still clearing out old accounts and as those are deleted we lose them as Favorite. I just wish I understood why!

random question: why does the quality change so much between what I see in the encoder and what shows on the stream? the Image online looks darker, grainier, yellower, and I look sort of 'dirty'. I don't know how to explain. I adjust the webcam settings every time before I go on, but I always need to re-work it when I'm online and I hate that. On the encoder it looks like there's a furnace on my face, while on cam it looks like I'm lurking in the yellow shadow. Even my thumbnail goes FUBAR.

also I see it tends to pixelate a lot, even though I have auto-focus off, and I also try to avoid textures and patterns in my outfits and background. Still I see a humongous loss of quality between the encoder and what actually goes out. :/ Oh well. I should be grateful that my armpit stubble gets pixel-masquareded.

Tgrillo, I think it depends on your connection and if sm is having a bad stream day. I notice that when my encoder feed connects it changes sometimes and even skips. On the days/times it does that I know I'll also look bad on the guys' end as well. I've noticed a huge difference in the connection here at my relatives (which is sort of crap) vs. my connection at my last apartment through comcast which was on point. Very rarely did I skip or pixelate. Sometimes nothing can really be done but to sit and wait and hope your stream gets better. It usually does after a while.

I know some girls have gone to Windows 10 as well with no issues. I think the beta is free.

the beta is free yes - its been fine for me im using 3.1 on 10

does opera work on windows or just mac? Im using IE on windows because Chrome was giving me a skippy feed and freezing but the interface on MFC in IE is an eye fuck and really confusing to use (everything is in boxes pulled apart from the main window not streamlined like it is in Chrome and Fire Fox) and the problem is worse in Firefox so any other browsers i can try would be awesome.

Omg I don't like how SM site is set up now. When you click a model, it drops down and chatroom shows up, with very hard to see tabs for profile/pics/description and you are still able to see all other model bio pics all over around the open chatroom. This is gonna be great for guys who like to chat hopping all day to harass and to snoop around.

Does anyone know exactly when the new userface came out? (I know it had to be today) All day I've been noticing even more in-and-outs than usual, and there have been guys with major tech issues for the last several days.

12-09-2014, 04:25 PM
One dude took me to pvt cuz he wanted to see my face, but he then left and changed name and took me to pvt again. i noticed cuz i put a note on his name and it was different username within two min!

And of course, I banned his ass. I am not gonna play his game. I am worrying about the new userface cuz guys can abuse models much easier.

Am I too much of an optimist to hope that the new influx on in-and-outs wears off once the guys stop going "oooooooh, shiny new page!"?

12-09-2014, 04:33 PM
Maybe if we alllll complain, they'll change it? :/ I don't like that at all.
If a guy is in my room I don't want it to be THAT easy to wander into another model's room, I want to focus on him and have him focus on me so I can get his ass in private

OMG I was just thinking of asking the same question! I don't have pixelation and blurry stream, but it is just somehow more yellow, darker, more visible shadows...I don't know how to explain, but when I look at my stream on cammodels link I look so much uglier than in my encoder window. It makes me look horrible! I've noticed this while I was watching my stream on flirt4free, because I don't have these issues there and I look much better on their site. I don't know what is wrong? Is it just the way how their encoder works? But why then others don't have that problem and look great on sm? I don't know how could my connection cause yellow picture and more visible shadows?

Yes, Opera works great on Windows, it is currently the best browser for video streaming at this time. Not sure how well it will work with MFC but it works great with the 4 major sites I currently splitcam, (SM, FWC, Xlovecam, CB).

I don't mind the new interface. I find that traffic has gone up and I'm getting more privates faster however yes, I am banning fucktards more often but I guess that's the trade off for more traffic.

I don't want to leave Hyori to be the lone dissenter, so I'll play the optimist. But seriously, I do see this as meaning we'll get more in-and-out users, but those don't bother me much. It also means that guys can go through everyone to land on me (or you, or the model they really want, or whatever) more quickly and I'll have more guys hopping in my room a shorter period of time. I don't see this being negative. I don't know if it'll convert to higher earnings for me necessarily, but I don't see it hurting.

Granted, I do see it making peeping more easy, as guys can see if we're in shows, join, and pop in-and-out to peep on another much more rapidly. But, hey, I don't do premium shows much of ever because even occasional peeping pissed me off, so yeah. However, I'd like to point out that there has always been a button available to registered users that let them see live feeds without entering the room. If they had the 'live video feed' button (or something similar--I'd need to double check the name) set to on, hovering their mouse showed what was going on in the room within 1-2 seconds. Now, they can see the interface of the room, tip, etc., without leaving the main models page and it's a full-sized window. Seeing the rooms around all the other models isn't new... So, basically, it used to take a peeper hovering over the model screen, seeing she was in private, clicking on her room, waiting for the room to load in a new page, and jumping into and out of the private to peep. The only change is that it isn't loading in a new page. Seriously. That's it.

Yeah... after I bitched and complained to my boyfriend, he basically told me to stop complaining until I give it a chance-- because it could make it better. Here's hoping!

On the new interface, where do you click to see the models' profile once in her chatroom?

Underneath the streaming feed and the buttons to give GOLD and enter paid, there are some grey buttons that say "about me," "member comments," "my photos" and a button to favorite and another to send an email. Sadly, they're very easy to miss.

Windows 7, Encoder version 3.2
Never tried Opera, I'm using IE... I shall give it a try

I'va had the encoder act up on me before. I emailed support and they told me the same thing Hyori said on the other page (uninstall, reboot & reinstall). Also copy & paste from the email:

"Don't use Safari, please. Stream with Firefox or Chrome and let me know if the same issues persist. Thanks.".

Try using firefox, it works for me. :)

OH! And redo a new profile... I'm not sure what the problem is exactly, but after a while my profile stops working on the encoder. I create a new profile saved like this, "SM Spring 2014", "SM Fall 2014". Make a new profile with the correct settings, save it and try it again this way. Don't reinstall the encoder and use the old profiles. (I hope I explained this to you to make sense.)

there are drop downs now, which i find annoying. hard enough to get guys to read the about me anyway, now they have to click a thing!

I know earlier this year, maybe late spring, they cleared lots of old inactive member accounts. Lot's of girls favs dropped. I think I lost about 3-4000 on my count. I also noticed before the big "purge", the favs would show up instantly. Now it takes up to a day to show the increase after I've cammed.

When you click a model, it drops down and chatroom shows up, with very hard to see tabs for profile/pics/description and you are still able to see all other model bio pics all over around the open chatroom. This is gonna be great for guys who like to chat hopping all day to harass and to snoop around.

I just looked because you mentioned it.

What new userface? I just logged on and see nothing new except the 'Give Gold' option which is great. Been on SM for over three years now, I can roll with the punches. Bring it, Streamate!

Go to front page and click on any models profile picture.

On the new interface, where do you click to see the models' profile once in her chatroom?

If you are on front page, and click on a models profile, it opens the cam room via front page. Directly below her video/give gold button, you should see her "about me" tab and so on. It might be cutting off on your screen?

Dear Beloved Sm,

Your new enterface is encouraging "chillin'" and "jumping around". Thankfully I converted this one and was able to preach the cam girl gospel and get a $1 tip out of him and a few promises of a future show, lol. But still. Stop making it easier for these guys to waste our time!!!!!

Love,

Your devoted camho'
p.s. thanks for the $0.35 :D

Does anyone know if it's worth it to try to improve placement after it's been poor for a significant amount of time? I joined Streamate several months ago, and immediately had a series of health problems that prevented me from camming at all. I've managed to cam for about 4 -6 hours four or five days a week for the past couple months, and I'm just getting to the point where camming full time is possible. However I'm stuck on page three or four, and even when I spend a lot of time online if doesn't seem to help, since few customers look that far back so I get few shows, and my percentage of time in private doesn't go up, so my placement doesn't improve. All my scores accept for 'time online' are 'good' or 'excellent,' so those aren't my issue. Is there any chance of improving my placement when I seem to be stuck on three or four indefinitely? Does anyone know if Streamate will let me delete my account and create a new one (I already tried setting up an additional account, which was denied due to me already having one)?. Thanks

I had to make a new account to change my name awhile ago, so that's a possibility I suppose.

But I went from page 6 to 1....so it's possible, slowly but surely moving up the middle of the page now.
Are you 100% sure you're using the encoder perfectly, with the recommended settings? Sometimes I re-download the setting thing just to make sure.

I am usually on page 3-4 and I do just fine. Market yourself to your niches. I may be page 3-4 out of all the girls, but I am 2nd row in the BBWs and 3rd row on the redheads. Besides people looking for specialities are more likely to spend, then just guy clicking through until a girl catches his eye. Encourage your customers to give you good tags that are consistent with your expertise. ( I still need a giantism fetish tag! ) Guys who are into specific fetishes will search them.

Yeah! If anyone has anything specific they'd like to be tagged as, let me know. I'm literally just smoking and eating tonight so I have nothing better to do.

Waaaaaait a second. So I just signed off and was poking around the new front page just now.. looks like I can no longer open a girls room now outside the front page when I click on her? Or is there some sort of a trick to this? I hate change! :confused:

@MarinaStarr : I just double checked, I think the new front page feature is only on SM at the moment, not on cammodels etc.

They should really focus on buying good traffic instead of a new web design every 6 months.
