I do and I'm not worry. All they can do is close your custy account.

for those of you with custy accounts, did you use your own cc to sign up? I only have one with my name on it and I know we aren't supposed to have custy accounts and don't wanna jeopardize my model account..

I know with Katy I got my favorites transferred, but I didn't get my tags or comments. I also had to email support to remind them to give me back my break button and static pic. Oh, and I lost all of my customer notes, which was super annoying...

Thanks for posting about losing the customer notes. I rely on them... oh, new notes :-) Thinking about switching over to Katy's BM. Did you contact support, Liz or Katy for the transfer?

You contact Katy first. She'll guide you through the process. Just email her at the address provided on the BM website or fill out the form there for new models. She's a gem of a studio owner.

Sounds like there was one hell of a lag in the video. Might try restarting your computer and doing a feed check. It's uncommon, but not so uncommon as to be unheard of--especially when SM is updating something.

^Yes there was like a minute delay in the video,I have someone checking my video all the time,restarting computer and router did not help,after my second pvt I was again in free chat booty shaking lol,I had to take a break as it was annoying and was fine when I came back online.No idea what happened.I dont think I ve ever had this happening before in my short time on sm .

I was browsing SM and a model that would not dare do anything in free was dildoing when I hovered the mouse

SHE WAS MID CONVERSATION WITH CUSTOMERS IN FREE CHAT when clicked on her profile.

Hovering she was masturbating
Clicking she was in free chat, chatting
IMO that would be nice a teaser.. 2 sec of goodies then back to static pic and mind fuck the customers to click on her room as it did me. I clicked :D
I know most will disagree

This was surely a glitch.
Welcome to streamate, the cam site you will lovingly hate because of glitches

It might be a new feature they are trying out to get tons more traffic...playing juicy excerpts from our privates for the video preview. It would certainly bring in the traffic.

AliceFun
01-25-2015, 08:55 PM
Ehhh scary! I think is just the delay in video feed & NOT a new 'tool', how is that working with SM rules & regulations of no nudity in freechat then? If they do it on purpose they break the rules they set themselves, they break models privacy - i dont wanna be seen masturbating by people that dont pay for my shows-> even this can bring in traffic it will break the rules period.

got my first tv gold show offer tonight.. my first since joining SM in Nov of 2013, I've only ever done one gold show.. I think it was for 80 but I can't remember what length. 80g though?!? "anal allowed" lmao nahhh

Issabelle

Loves, I'm positive it's just a glitch, so don't get alarmed. If you go back through this same thread, you'll see people have posted about it happening to them on rare occasion. SM would never put up 'teaser' videos on the front page preview option--those previews are supposed to be live and give customers a faster way to check the girl to see if they want to enter her room. SM is required to prevent nudity in an unpaid setting to keep minors from viewing pornography. They'd get sued so fast all their ancestor's heads would be spinning on their behalf.

That said--shitty glitch. Having to 'restart' after every show by hitting the break button or restarting your feed is a real bitch and hopefully they resolve it soon. It does happen from time to time, but it's not any marketing tactic they'd use.

So you mean they show the guy a few seconds of what's going on in a gold show so he can decide if he wants to enter? Has this always been how it is?

No, they just show that the model is in a gold show, but not her live video feed or her audio. The preview mode only works if the model is live in free chat.

I'm telling you loves, I really think it was a glitch. No need for mass hysteria. :)

Woow, just did a show with a guy.. less that 2 minutes later I get an alert on twitter, a promo page posted snips of the show with my twitter handle included. I guess it was supposed to draw new followers to my page, but I messaged the guy telling him it's NOT okay to post something like that of mine and could he take it down.

He agreed to, but it's been up for nearly 10 minutes now.. should I just go ahead and contact SM support? The show was a pvt on their site..

I can give the promo page info if anyone wants to see if they're on there..

SM Support should be contacted ASAP, yeah, especially if he's doing this with other SM models. I'd hit up Liz or Vanessa with that site info as well, seeing as they would likely care and be more useful then the Flying Support Monkeys.

I have a question, has anyone else had this problem? I want to use the encoder but it makes my face looks distorted mostly my eyes I thought it was my lighting but its not I usually cam on MFC and my picture is perfect. Should I just not use the encoder? I want good placement though I have a i7 computer, fast internet, a c920 webcam. I dont know what the problem could be thanks in advance!

Quick question...I know people use different methods of receiving their paychecks. I chose to get mine via US mail. Has anyone else noticed their checks coming later and later in the week? This week I didnt even get one.
Like @Marina Starr I've never not got a check. I usually almost always get my check on Monday but its seems like it started coming late since the Holiday season began. Like sometimes I'll get it on Monday but there's been times where I didn't get it until Friday. Not sure if its SM or the Postal Service.


has sm sent out 1099s? i added up all my money i made i just dont have their info :/
I got mine Yesterday but not my check. Smh they gave me a Tax form to take my money but no check to give me money. So dirty.

^^I have been getting checks from SM for over 4 years, like clockwork... Two weeks ago, it didn't come on a Monday, like it usually does. (It wasn't a holiday, but it was one of the biggest checks I made, cause of the holidays being so good)..At first I thought it was our incometant mailman, who doesn't even deliver our mail until 9 p.m, and is constanly talking on his phone while delivering to hundeds of boxes...
When it didn't come Tuesday, I went knocking on neighbors doors asking if they had it, as sometimes they get my mail by mistake...Still nothing... I then messaged sm to re-issue, and naturally I got the check the next day1
I also had the check get here 2 days late last week, when even though it was a holiday on Monday, I still usually get my check by Tuesday.
Glad that it is not just me...
I just checked my mail--FINALLY got the reissued check and the current one---but they take $24 out to reissue.

I'm new to Streamate and so far, apart from having my payments on hold whilst I try to get SM to connect to my new Payoneeer instead of my old inactive one, which is proving a real pain in the ass, I love the site. I can't figure out a couple of things though:

1) How can I record my shows?
2) Do I get charged on my mobile bill if I accept calls in private (the support article is very confusing about this)
3) Do guys prefer party chat to classic and will that increase privates?
4) If people Google me and find my sites, which they have been and then try to talk to me about them in free chat or messages, what is the best thing to say so that SM don't get pissed off?

All and any help would be most appreciated on the above as well as any advice about how to get SM to change my Payoneer link to my new active account as I really need to get paid. They owe me over $700 now and I've got bills!

I'm new to Streamate and so far, apart from having my payments on hold whilst I try to get SM to connect to my new Payoneeer instead of my old inactive one, which is proving a real pain in the ass, I love the site. I can't figure out a couple of things though:

1) How can I record my shows?

If you are using the encoder, then on the bottom of the right hand side is a check box that says, "Save To File". If you have that checked, it will record your shows. You can click the "Browse" button to choose a specific folder for the recorded shows to go. On my computer I can't open the video files with premier elements, only iSkySoft as they are .f4v files. I know girls record their gold shows etc and sell them while on cam "ex buy 50 videos for $100" or whatever. But I'm going to guess SM is not going to be very happy if they catch you using those vids outside the site.

2) Do I get charged on my mobile bill if I accept calls in private (the support article is very confusing about this)

All SM calls are incoming and free of charge to the model. You don't get docked/charged for accepting phone calls. However, whatever your cell phone plan is what you will still be charged. If incoming phone calls are free on your phone then you're ok. If you have a pay per min incoming then you will still receive those charges. Same thing applies to the customer. It's free to use the phone feature, they will only be charged regular if they have a PPM plan.

3) Do guys prefer party chat to classic and will that increase privates?

Depends on a few factors. Main difference is party chat allows you to run gold shows. I haven't use classic chat in a long time, but I do believe you have the option to turn off free chat in this mode. So only people who have signed up the site with a credit card that are logged in can see you. But there is no gold show option this way.

Free chat running can be a good thing if you are good at getting guys to sign up the site through your room/cam link. If they sign up through your cam room/link then you will make a higher percentage off their shows as well as get commission on shows they spend with other models.

4) If people Google me and find my sites, which they have been and then try to talk to me about them in free chat or messages, what is the best thing to say so that SM don't get pissed off?

You are not allowed to talk about outside sites. Period. So if they ask, you have to tell them to stop talking about outside sites, as it can get you in trouble. That includes getting suspended and/or banned. You can be nice about it but you also have to be firm. "Aw, you found me elsewhere? Awesome! But it's against site rules to talk about outside sites, I can get into serious trouble. ... What sites is he talking about? Sorry, I can't tell you, but I'm pretty easy to find wink wink." Something like that is ok. Another option is you can just flat out ignore those guys asking... I tend to do that often as I hate it when it comes up and then there are ten guys that follow up with a million questions right after I said I can't talk about it.

All and any help would be most appreciated on the above as well as any advice about how to get SM to change my Payoneer link to my new active account as I really need to get paid. They owe me over $700 now and I've got bills!

I don't know anything about payoneer, as I get a cheque. Maybe email Vanessa?

You cannot advertise your cammodels link in free chat
The customers talking to you through free chat are streamate's acquired traffic and promoting your cammodels link in the free chat box will get you in trouble if found out. You can still tell them to add their cc to fully join the site and chat with you and all the other models but they cannot sign up through your cammodels link.

Sorry for the confusion, I didn't mean that.. thanks for pointing that out as it does read confusing. I meant once they have your cam room open, they are default in your cam room. I thought that as long as they are in your room regardless what site/white label they are viewing you, it still counts towards a member signing up under you name if it's done through our cam room while we are streaming? Maybe I'm wrong about this. I did not mean you are allowed to mention your cammodels link! >.<

No, unfortunately it only counts if they sign up directly through your cammodels link. If they join while they are in the "free chat" area of your room that could be part of how a white label affiliate makes thier money I guess but we get nothing extra.

On cams.com you get an extra 10% if they make a purchase while talking to you in free chat and you keep that extra 10% for as long as they're a customer... That extra 10% only applys to what they spend on u not other girls which kind of sucks but it would be nice if streamate had a similar program.

Ahh ok I see! Thanks for clarifying again... I always thought that if they sign up through our room regardless of the site they are on while we are streaming we get money for it. I guess I learnt something new! :)

Yeah, if we got even a small cut extra for converting free chat members then I'd pay them more attention. As it is, I spam them with a saved message when I see the red light blinking!

Also their EIN is different than the old one.


Got mine today, it says ICF Technology

Here's to hoping my father doesn't go past page one of Google and actually look ICF Technology up! Thankfully, SM only pops up as associated with ICF on the top of the page 2 results. My 1099 was sent to his place and, as far as he knows, I do records transcription. The downside of not knowing where I'd be living when I closed my old SM account to reopen with Katy...

Gonna send that man a fucking glitter bomb with my name on it if he keeps opening my mail. I love him to bits, but it would SO serve him right.

[QUOTE=Prussia;2720805]1) How can I record my shows?

If you are using the encoder, then on the bottom of the right hand side is a check box that says, "Save To File". If you have that checked, it will record your shows. You can click the "Browse" button to choose a specific folder for the recorded shows to go. On my computer I can't open the video files with premier elements, only iSkySoft as they are .f4v files. I know girls record their gold shows etc and sell them while on cam "ex buy 50 videos for $100" or whatever. But I'm going to guess SM is not going to be very happy if they catch you using those vids outside the site.

I am able to record my shows, but for some reason I can't get the audio to work when I play it back :( Which sucks because I would totally re-sell my gold shows to the people who are IN the gold shows! As of right now, it seems like a waste of time since I can't get the audio to work for some reason. Has anyone else had this problem?? I did a search on here awhile back, but didn't really find anything that was talking about what I'm dealing with.

I open the flash files with VLC player, there're no problems with sound or anything. THey don't work in the standard windows player though. You'll have to convert them to AVI or MP4 to edit in the movie maker.

I use iSkySoft (http://www.iskysoft.com/video-converter-mac.html) and the audio & video work fine... I drop the file in and when I click play the original F4V has sound. Adobe Premiere Elements won't open those files for me.

To be honest, since iSkySoft works to play/convert the FV4 videos I don't bother using anything else. I usually edit regular videos in Premiere and do the converting in iSkySoft. You can do so much stuff with the iSkySoft program it's crazy and it's lickity split quick. :)

WTF with the minute men. I don't even undress in pvt with new guys anymore. It's enough for them to see me pull my top up or roll my pants down to blow their load and leave. It takes me longer to get dressed.

Yup. Same here.
