Is placement updating like, real time all of a sudden? WTF is going on with this?
I'm seriously getting so fucking fed up with Streamate.
Usually, position changes fast if you have connection problems or your online hours dropped. I have the same position as two months ago, even if my billing per hour variates. The only moment I go down is when my hours go under 70-80 or if my bitrate drops/ms raises.

I've had that happen with bitrate too but mine seems to be fine. UGGHHHHHH. I don't need this today. :(

Right now 9 people in the first 3 rows are showing as "offline".
I've just seen that. STRANGE! Hope they don't try to update the website. WTF?!

I've been having placement issues too. I'll be on the first page for a little bit and then drop to the 3rd or 4th page for no reason while I'm streaming. It usually moves back to the first page after 10-15 minutes but it's so frustrating. I have super fast stable internet so I don't know what is going on.

I know everyone says to ignore the roundtrip time. I feel like I spend too much time asking guys if they can hear me or not? Or if theres a delay. I only ask them because I get specs like bitrate 1200, fps 30 (somedays it will say 90 fps) but then the damn roundtrip will have 250,300 even 400 one shift. Below average. Some guys will respond right away to my comments but others it seems almost a full minute. It's probably an issue on their end. I've tried it on my mobile with 4glte and it's quick. Then I use my wifi still fast but not as fast. I get tired of typing to these mofos. I should probably just say fuckit and let them work it out, huh?

It's been rough on Streamate today. I'm also noticing all of the "Offline" online models. My placement has seemed fine today though...haven't noticed any drops or weird placement.

That's a very important criteria for the position. I dropped a page and a half when my ms (round trip time) went from 150 to 900! Wasn't because of me, my connection was great, plus we have good servers in the studio. Then I talked with the manager and she said is not even SM fault. The problem is with the transoceanic node connection. Basically, SM functions with some servers too, that are connected to some nodes, which have problems sometimes. I don't even know if I explained this right, but I'm sure you got the point, even just a little.
Haha, thank you, Marina. Me too! Cocky us. *evil laugh*

yeah, me too with the different accounts coming in! I've had some really weird ones in the past couple days that come in, scream about how "white people are the devil" and then leave. I mean like, 4 or 5 different accounts coming in saying that stuff. So strange.
It could be the same guy/gal changing their member name, trying to keep it fresh so they don't get booted as soon as they hit your list. After all, if your plan is to be an asshole it would be stupid NOT to change your name regularly so you can cause the most havoc. *sigh*

Thank you for your response. I also splitcam and get various results. But even when I just run SM I've had roundtrip fluctuations. I just googled transoceanic node connection. The other day I went from the first page to page 5 for an hour. It does seem to matter but Im just not sure what I can do about it.

r u trying to say that maybe SM puts them logged into a more stable server thinking it will entice them to put a card on file and start paying?
About 1/2 the people visiting camming sites are on mobile devices, and that causes all kinds of hiccups in our connections to them. Are you aware that Streamate's Adobe Flash platform is not compatible with Apple products. In the live video biz, Flash is old school. But trying to change the site will be incredibly expensive.
Maybe the guys are having similar problems in free chat too (those annoying pop-in, pop-out guys..... maybe they're on mobile, losing data feed?) Or maybe it's a glitch within SMs system, trying to connect an Apple (or other mobile device) over to the paid show? It could be all kinds of things causing guys to drop out.
I've noticed that when one of my friends who uses his Apple product, iPad, he REPEATEDLY has a difficult time getting into Exclusive sessions. He's one of those annoying custies who clicks Exclusive, it clears out my chatroom, but the session doesn't connect. Don't you fucking HATE that?! But it's not HIS fault, it's his (Apple) device trying to connect with Streamate's Flash program.
From what I understand Apple is not based on Adobe Flash like MicroSoft is, and that causes problems. My guy who get's booted going into Exclusive sometimes even blows something out in my connection so I have to stop streaming & re-sign in. Crazy shit!
I believe the different devices guys are using to connect with us cause waaaaaaay more problems than we realize. It's very frustrating dealing with my iPad guy, but he's one of my 40% extra guys, so I gladly put up with his device screwing up my stream so I can make 75% on the Exclusive show (if we can get it to connect) Grrrrr..........
I'd love to have a pool of models who would question guys about what device they're using when they're having problems, then report it on a weblog, or ? It would be helpful to see if there is a clear pattern.

Try to contact support, they can provide more information, tell exactly if is from your part or not. If is not your connection, unfortunately, there is nothing you can do about it, just have to wait until they fix it. The good part is that your position will not remain the same. Once the problem is solved, you get back in your normal spot. *fingers crossed for you, deer*

I am always asking guys what device they are using if they are having problems. Majority of the time they say phone or iPad. Today I had two on a computer tell me my cam area was just all black. Usually none of the computer users have issues when I ask, always mobile devices.
Also you can tell who is on mobile - the first word of everything they type is capitalized. "Hey how are you" vs "hey how are you" because phones always capitalize the first thing you say, no one actually types like that in a chat room on a computer. It's a dead give away that a user is on mobile.

Yeah, it was from a TV broadcaster during the show. He was all, "turn your music off oh btw I saw your junk, I could suspend you for that." but a lot more professional haha.

Offline models on front page bug: SM still doing this. Basically when logged in to custie account the models online page 'refreshes' periodically to move different models into the slots. Every time this happens the model being moved into the slot shows as offline. This is even though they are not actually offline. Horrible bug. Been happening for a couple of days :(

A guy came into my free chat today. On this THIRD TIME in my room that day I basically threatened to kick him out if he didn';t come paid. He did and left after about 3/4 minutes. Then later he comes in free chat again and sits there saying he can't go paid until the coast is clear. I suggest that he can donate gold to stay in free, or leave my free chat room until coast is clear. He said "so you want me to go?" and I said "if you can't pay, it's only polite."
He left and I worry that I scared off ANOTHER customer (like the one in the first link) because they won't pay and expect free time just because they pay sometimes. As if I'm a buy one get one free grocery.
How do I stay firm but entail they stay a customer?

I don't think pushing them or threatening you'll block their accounts will get you pvts. Maybe other sites work like that, but not SM. Guys feel when you are freaking out because you stay for too long in free chat and they will do it on purpose, just to piss you off. They are there for boobs, vaginas and asses, 99% don't give a shit about your feelings or your lovely day. Don't push them, don't ask them straight forward. Show them you are the boss, they have to convince you to accept a pvt. The more you try to get a pvt, the less chances you have. Nobody wants to have fun with a girl that keeps demanding money.

Oh snap! I just read what you wrote in the other thread. That sounds like you were having a bad day? That's too much back and forth for me. if he has spent money in the past...a few times. I would just chill. I get antsy sometimes too but mostly with the ones I know are wasting my time. I give them the silent treatment and then I kick them from the room. But the back and forth it's not worth it. Even if you are privately typing it you have to make sure you have sweet smile on your face while you do it. The other guys will pick up on your annoyance.

If you have a ModelCentro site you can push your website on them. You can try to convert them into SkyPrivate guys or at least buy a subscription to your vids. Guys who can't afford you on SM might be able to afford your SkyPrivate rates. Might as well generate some passive income from the cheapos/poor guys.

Amazing, thanks for the responses. I know threatening isn't so helpful, but...
Anyway, just some questions:
I felt like with the guy in the other thread, he wanted dirty talk when there were like... 8 guys in the room and it was literally impossible to do that without ignoring other boys, but you're right. Next time something similar happens, I'll just let him chill in my room and maybe just ignore him when he gets too engaged in a conversation.
I didn't think I was allowed to push other sites when I'm on SM... also is it possible to sell my vids on SM? x

Well, you can't really push your site literally, however because Modelcentro has partnership with SM you can link up your site to your live feed so that the button that says "Join My Site" goes to your Modelcentro url rather than the Gold Club thingy. On your Modelcentro site you will have your Twitter, Instagram, Skyprivate, VerifiedCall and all your videos that your customer can have under a subscription. You can't use MC to sell individual vids unless you make them join and then you can send them locked content but that can be awkward because you need to get their email. I usually just let them choose a video and then sell them for gold individually and then send the link to the individual video through projectmaenad and the SM messaging system.

So I've got my period right now but I'm still wanting to cam because I need the money. I've read the tips and tricks on the forum about camming with your period but after fishing out a tampon for half an hour last night that got pushed up there way to high I've decided I'm just not down for penetration for a couple days. Should I lower my prices or put no penetration in my room topic? Are custies/potential custies going to resent me for this? I'm kinda worried.

No, dear. The more you do, the better for them. But I advise you to offer something "extra" if you reach the goal or if somebody tips a certain amount.
As long as the show has 3X and not 2X, you can do anal. I never received a show with 2Xs, but you never know.
