So I know SM doesn't allow other links like twitter and such, so how do you send custies videos? I see a lot of girls with photos that that tell the description and how much gold, do you just download it and send in the SM email, or go through another site? Thinking about making some preggo videos to have on hand for later while I can. Thanks so much girls, I love this website and all the helpful advice :)

You can send mediafire links, not sure about which other sites you can send links from but customer service did tell me mediafire links were ok as long as I accepted site payment and it was a direct download link

Curious if anyone is having Techy Issues. The past 3-4 days have been much slower than usual, my hourly has decreased to 1/3 of what it usually is, my placement is hopping around a lot and I've had a few customers say they can't take me private. I'm not sure if my hustle is off or it's a drought or if there actually are glitches on the site currently. Anyone have any idea?

Hiya, I've been experiencing exactly the same thing and got so fed up last night that I logged off, having only made $30 in three hours, which is about a third of what I was making a week or so ago. I also know for a fact that several members wanted to take me private and couldn't. I wonder how long this will take to get sorted out and if anyone has actually contacted SM about it and received any responses?

I'm not sure there is a free video option. They used to have a section where they would take some of you recordings of your shows and sell them for a profit " see so and so's videos fro $4.99 fo 24 hours!" type of deal. Not sure if this has changed because of the Gold Club Memberships that you are able to offer now.

There is Ivy. Maybe its still in beta so maybe not everyone has it yet. I've seen it in use on 1 models page.

You can get to it 2 ways....

It's been the same for me. I get a lot of guys popping in and out of my room constantly. I have asked a few of them and even one of them took it upon himself to yell at me for "kicking him out of the room". These guys keep getting booted out. And guys who can't take me private (in/out again - not peepers, regular customers) I seem to be getting disconnected more frequently also.

I hope these glitches clear up soon. It's been about a week for me now and it's messing with my cashflow.

MelantheDivine
03-11-2015, 10:54 AM
That's what is SO irritating the fact that we all work hard and something that is totally out of our control effects our cash flow. If it wasn't the waning moon I'd do something about it lol! I keep thinking of writing a 'banishing the bloody annoying glitches' spell that would help us all, but somehow a 'manifest more paying privates' just has a better ring to it! Next week on the new moon I'll be performing a ritual so if any of you would like to connect with me to add your desires, earning requirements and so on, please let me know and let's kick some ass! xxx

If we're noticing a small hit in SM income due to tech issues on the site, so is Streamate. My guess is they're building up to panic mode and things should be fixed soon - at least for a while. This same thing happened about the same time last year.

More eggs, more baskets...always a good thing. Other sites have picked up quite a bit...Cams.com is up a lot in the last 2 weeks, for example.

MelantheDivine
03-11-2015, 12:31 PM
I wonder if it is something to do with year end? All or at least most businesses end their financial year at the end of March and maybe it is done to avoid profits going over a certain amount? It does make you wonder if, as you say, the same thing happened last year! Either that or they've run out of money to pay techies until the new financial year?

I did ask to join that site but never heard back regarding acceptance. xxx

Oh shit! I just realized that you can leave notes next to guys who signed up with your cammodels link. Just another way to hustle even more when they come to your room so you can get that 75%! :D Lay it on thick.

I don't normally leave notes on customers but when I do, it's because...money!

So I've been on SM for a few months and I'm just now seeing Guest names in green text? I searched the thread but couldn't find any info. What does this mean? :confused:

kortneykay
03-11-2015, 05:09 PM
Hmmm is it a new feature? If so that may mean it's SM's way of telling us that green means the customer has money in his account and not just a cc on file. Or perhaps they're thinking of mixing guests with free chat members and making a noticeable distinction between the two?

The green names are people viewing from an external application. So if you have a website (modelcentro for example) and have your chat on the site then those are members from there. If you don't have a site then it is an unauthorized user hacking into your chat and trying to watch your shows for free.

It means they are viewing you from your ModelCentro site. If you turned on the live show feed and it is linked up to your SM account then you will stream on your MC website the same time you are on SM.

I'm glad its not just me. I thought the slowness was because it was some what the beginning of the month, maybe I wasn't putting enough hours in, and or I was being impatient. If its tech issues and this happened last year I wonder why its happening yearly?

MelantheDivine
03-12-2015, 02:31 AM
OK, so having read now, so many messages about SM issues, I have just contacted SM support with this message:

"Hello,
Firstly, I love this site and am really enjoying working on it. Secondly, on behalf of myself and a number of other cam models, we have been experiencing a lot of problems over the last week and are wondering whether there is a technical issue?
We are finding that members are getting pop-up error messages, being kicked from our private sessions, not being able to take us private and more. We are also noticing that the site is slow and laggy and traffic and therefor privates have dropped by a third.
Could you please shed some light on this? We all love Streamate but are finding it very frustrating to be putting the hours in and not earning nearly the same amount of money. A few girls have been noticing that the same thing happened last year around this time too.
We were all worried that it was us but have now realised that it must be something systemic.
Additionally, I would love to be able to upload some videos as well as pictures to my profile to entice members to want to see me when I'm live, I know some girls do have videos on their profiles. Could I please be allowed access to upload them too?
If there is anything that you can suggest we would all like to know as we love the site and would support it and any issues in order to get potential problems solved as fast as possible.
Thank you in advance for your help."

I will let you know if and when I get a response.

We were testing our new database stats spitter-outter this morning and did find something interesting for SM

Going by money earned per hour average per model, this week is the highest earnings week its been in 4 months - it even beat out our Camathon week by about 6%, and was 20% over last week. This still doesn't quite make up for models only putting in 2/3's their normal time this week, but it did help a lot.

Long story short, models actually logging on and pushing through the tech issues are making more "per hour" this week than in a long time.

Hi one guy come to private and say he want anal i start doing my show and he say i want anal now!!! Before i cant block him i tell u not in exclusive and he leave and rate me one star!
What i should do? I dont understand why costumers who are online less than 4 minutes have the option of rate!

Do you know how to use the pre written comment feature? Next to bar where you type comments in chat is a save icon. Write up a blurb about how you only offer it in exclusive and save it. When they ask next time, you can quickly click post the comment (ex "sorry I only offer that in exclusive like my profile says".) as well as say it out loud. If they leave the show, don't close the window. See if they left you a 1* rating, screen cap the conversation and then you can email and request the rating be removed. It's frustrating but at least you have a way of fixing it and covering yourself. Also, if you have the chance to either end the show or ban them before they leave the show they can't leave you any ratings.

I see a lot of girls who say "anal in block sessions only". Maybe that's another option.

HELP! I've tried logging on for over an hour now and keep getting 'The Streaming Connection Was Lost' appearing in a pop up saying my connection has been lost and this just keeps happening even if I reconnect. The rest of the internet is working fine and I've logged onto another cam site and it's fine. I've clicked through to the trouble shooting articles and done a speed test and my connection is fine. I've also tried logging onto an old account at Needlive and that is also having the same 'connection lost' problem. So what is happening? Any ideas? I tried Skype and it's fine when I'm streaming to my friend, so again it is not my internet or connection or PC. I'm on fibreoptic too and the speed is way over what I need when I test it. xxx

That's been happening to me for over a month now. I just keep restarting my room and if it's frequent I sign off for a bit. You're not using wifi, right? I think a few girls have been experiencing the same thing. I wouldn't bother writing support, they will just deny it. You have better luck finding a leprechaun with a pot of gold then having SM support help you.

Oh! Well it is totally mucking up my business and is very frustrating as I need to earn lol! I've had a lot of issues as you may have read, as have other girls, but this is the first time for this pop up to appear. The thing is, it happened on Needlive too, why, I don't know? So I guess I'll just have to wait and see if it clears! I'm worried that it is my PC but how can it be if Skype is working fine when streaming video? No, I'm not using WiFi. xxx

I've been using variable bitrate rather than steady bitrate and it's been keeping the guys online although the quality of my stream is compromised during times the bitrate goes haywire. Look at your encoder settings and set it to variable and set the minimum to the lowest it can go and the highest to be the highest your computer can take. That should prevent any DC's from now on.

I'm not getting disconnected but I'll be sitting in free chat with people in the room and suddenly everyone will be gone and I'll go several minutes with no one in the room. During this my encoder doesn't show any signs of it being my connection or anything. Also several people telling me there is a lag or answering my questions quite a bit after I say something indicating there is definitely a lag of more than the normal few seconds.

It's just so annoying. Streamate is the most popular cam site aside from MFC, they make a ton of money, why do they have so many issues? I don't experience a lot of them but when I do it's like all the glitches at the same time. I know others experience them all the time though. They need to get their shit together.

I'm trying out a new site and I'm hopeful that it works out, if it keeps showing promise I'm going to have to try to phase SM out all together. I guess I'm just burnt out on it. No one talks... I believe that is due to their mobile app, the chat is either not available to use or very hard to use depending on how you are holding your phone/tablet. With so many mobile users these days you have to have a functioning mobile site. They profit enough to be able to fix these issues, so why don't they?

But I'm also just in a bad mood today so whatever.

Sarah I'm having the same problem today and it's super annoying. I'm with you, I'm getting so fed up with SM, I've been with them for five years and I'm so close to no longer making them my main site but I'm not sure who I would replace them with. I'm splitting cams, FWC and CMD but lately they are all equally sucking. Camming used to be so much fun but within the last couple of months not so much. I'm still making good $ it's just taking way longer and taking a lot more patience.
