WOW I just got THREE more bad tags since I made that post... That makes 10 in less than 24 hours, without even being on cam! This is insane to me. Have any of you ever experienced such an influx of bad tags all at once like that? I can't patrol my fucking profile all the time, but if I don't catch them as soon as they happen then anyone can see them because they show up automatically. This fucking SUCKS. I'll quit bitching I promise... I'm just shocked and pissed off that there's nothing I can do. :'(
I have 139 blocked tags. About 130-135 of them came from a single user/group attacking me over the course of several months. The tags would come in waves anytime I logged in and they were brutal. Whatever--someone has the kind of time to make multiple burner accounts and harass me? They're sad, sad loss of days of their lives. It was a bit frustrating at first, because I didn't want customers seeing that, but once I got past that frustration I just became anal about keeping my tags tab open, refreshed every few minutes, blocked any BS, and it eventually stopped. It will stop girl! And, hey, you might even beat my record! I'm fairly certain I have the most epic troll attack ranking on SW when it comes to SM tags, and I'm really done with having that title! lol
I was about to post the same as Issabelle. I have 50+ blocked tags on my profile. Just keep your dashboard window open when you are camming in a separate tab and refresh the tags page every so often. I do this often, especially when I'm doing lots of privates to see if guys are leaving me bad ratings & screen cap the conversation before closing the chat window. Also, some food for thought is that model profiles can only display 50 tags. So once you get more than that the list will cut off anyway, and the re-tagged ones will sit at the top of the list. No need to stress or worry. :goodvibes

I posted this in the camming sucks thread and I'm cross posting it here...
I wanted to share an update with you ladies. I think i figured out why my camming stream was so bad the past couple of weeks... my coax cable runs along the base of the wall that is outside on the other side of that wall. I live in a building, and the wall gets freezing cold in the winter; with the extreme winter we had this year I think that the coax cable got damaged. I think it's "thawed" now that it's spring and getting warmer. I looked it up because I thought I was making things up going crazy, but I was right. Cold can damage it! My coax got fucked up being against a cold wall all winter. I changed the cable today and my stream was flawless. Before I was constantly in mosaic mode, super lagging, and my frames were dropping like crazy. Thought I would share this info with anyone else that went through a brutal winter as well and their cable was against a wall that was outside on the other side/cold room.
Cable Shrinkage and Damage
While the average cool day may not affect your coaxial cables, extreme cold can cause the cable's exterior covering to shrink. As this jacket contracts, the connector can deform, causing it to fail to maintain a strong connection. If the center pin begins to retract, signal reception will deteriorate, or it may completely cease. Some cables are rated for the cold, which can improve their durability during low temperatures. However, severe cold may still affect these cables.

I just started on SM and I feel like my shows are boring AF. I really have no idea what to say to these guys. Especially when they just sit there and stare. I feel like I took my stripper self and put her in front of a webcam so the way I talked to guys in the club is how I talk to the guys on SM. It worked in the club but my shows are boring. I'm not sure how to make them interesting. The conversations are the same. I mean I make guys tip for me to even stand but maybe I should dance around or something even though guys have been taking me to private just to watch me dance. I could think of random shit to do to entertain myself but I'll probably look like an idiot. I guess that would be better than looking bored. I guess I can look at it as practice for when I get ready to move over to MFC eventually.
Anyway, I'm just venting/getting my thoughts out. I didn't want to start a another thread.

My best reg could not connect to Exclusive chat (i know he is mobile by the way & he only come exclusive), a lot of guys said they could not see me, no picture but black screen, awful nite simply! Low traffic, low income this week, monday was bad too, not good at all !! I was checking my own stream/ room like crazy considering i need to use a proxy server to do this, i saw myself just fine but as i said some guys could not see me or connect to my paid chat (pvt or excl). This was during the evening EST :(

I want to try to work on SM again, but ladies.....I am fucking SCARED. I've only worked 2 shifts camming so far. The first night I made a few dollars in 3 hours. The second night, I worked 8 hours and made zero. I was determined that night to keep going until I made something....but that something never came. I've already posted about this many times, so I feel like I'm on repeat now....but I feel.....fucking useless and exhausted and scared to death that I'll try again and NOTHING. I should probably start another thread on this, but......I really am terrified.

Super annoyed with SM right now I just spent two hours watching everyone come into my room and leave right away . I checked my own feed and it looks fine so im confused as to WTF is going on. Im making more on cams lately if going back to nights dont work out it might be time to a say goodbye to SM for a little but and focus on other sites

It makes me feel better to hear that some of you ladies are experiencing the same tag bullshit. I mean obviously it sucks for everyone, but I'm just glad I'm not alone. We should feel flattered that someone is spending all their time fixating on us. If someone hates us that much for no justified reason, then we must be doing something right.
I'm a little scared of logging on tonight and experiencing an influx of trolls on April Fools Day... but I was thinking of throwing a prank back at the guys playfully, like tell them I need donations to get a sex change, or obnoxiously large breast implants. Hehe.
Thank you for giving me some love again Streamate. I wish we could love each other all the time!! <3

Is anyone having a problem with ratings not showing up? I haven't gotten one rating since March 26. I've went a say or so without a rating but not this long. And I have a copy/paste thing asking for ratings everytime someone goes private.

Even regulars that always tip. I'm talking over 20 shows in the past and a rating for each one. I find it hard to believe they've tipped for every show for the past 5 years (in some cases), and all of a sudden stopped.
KatyBoleyn
04-01-2015, 06:19 PM
Odd. There was a bug where customers were leaving ratings but they weren't figuring in to your average score. So you could see that the customer gave 5 stars by clicking his name on your pay sheet, but your chart for the "last 30 days" would still show zero.

Been the third week in a row like that. I just dont know what to do. My specs are all at excellent except for RTT which is at good, rating average of 4,98 out of 5. I have BETTER specs and score than when i was in the first 2 rank of page one...
still no answer for support too... who is that liz you girls talk about ?

ok, I'm slowly reading through all the pages of this SM thread to get the answers of questions I have, but I'm only up to page 80! LOL I have a couple questions, what's your opinion on $1 gold shows? I did some today for the first time and did really well. Just want more opinions on that. Also, what could be the reason a guy pops instantly in and out of my free chat over and over in a few seconds...while I'm chatting, like over and over? And I do mean instantly, not gone for a min, but only gone for a second, in out in out. Can he be looking to peep? but so quick, in and out? I'd think if he was looking to peep a prvt show he'd stay out longer than a second? It's really annoying. thanks ladies

I rarely ever do $1 shows. It's usually something I'll save for like a holiday etc. Honestly, if you start to set this as your standard in your shows as a minimum buy in, you are basically allowing freeloaders to take over your room. Not to mention you will have a difficult time reaching goal. Also, your shows are worth more than a dollar, so why lowball yourself?
The reason guys are popping in and out could be a few different things. The most likely reason is they are on a cell phone. The site sucks on mobile, yet majority of the members spend time on it. SM streams well on their app "B-Line", but the members need to know/have to download it. So the most likely cause is guys may be bouncing around on their phones, the connection may be bad or the stream is sketchy.

Speaking of the SM mobile site, I was checking it out this afternoon on my iphone using safari. I went into a models room, and I was holding the phone upwards (not sideways). The chat box was missing, all I could see was the models video at the top and black below it. So I turned the phone sideways and then back to upright and the chat box popped up after that. I went to see if it was a re-occuring problem with other rooms... yup it was!

oh thanks, and you're right, it should be a special thing. I may be "mature" LOL but I'm new to camming and still learning. thanks girls. My next question for those who cam on SM, do any of you cam on another site? And if so, which one? I'm thinking of mixing it up, but don't know which site is better or where I'm allowed? Since I'm on SM, where else can I work? I've seen SM models on "imlive" but with a different model name, and MFC. Any thoughts? I'd like to keep my model name. thanks again

Jess, I am on SM but also cam (regularly) on MFC, (sporadically) on cams.com, and via CMD, LCMS, and SkyPrivate. I use the same name on all of them. I have a twitter and a blog that I use to promote the sites I work on. The only thing that SM doesn't allow is outside contact, so you can't promote your twitter the way you can on MFC, for example.

It's because their server is crashing. None of the models can log on. It kicked me off completely in the middle of a show. There are a ton of models tweeting about it right now 2
