@Sellty They're probably doing a gold show, so there's a running count of how much they've earned towards their gold show goal at the top of the page.
If you want to see how much you've earned when you're doing regular shows you can either open your profile in another tab and check there, or click on the "Recent Earnings" button at the top of your streaming page (it's on the right next to the clock icon).

I got my first 4 Star rating tonight http://38.media.tumblr.com/701373af7ce39a50770375596a9e7dee/tumblr_mp4evoLRWg1qdj5jco4_250.gif
The guy is someone I've been conversing with for a few days, so we actually have an established repertoire. He had a "preview" of myself in a Gold Show yesterday, which he liked because he bought a 45 min Prv Block tonight.
I did what he asked (fuck dildo hard; I came; did it cowgirl and in different views which he said he liked...).
Will getting a 4 hurt my ranking? Should I e-mail Support, or am I just being whiny little twit and should just stfup?

Well, is your rating a 5 star rating? Did he leave a comment? I tried to get some ratings taken off and they told me no since I had an overall 5 star, though I did get an unrated oddly insulting comment taken off my board. I'd just suck it up and wait for the unexpected 1 star fucker to show up. He's out there.

A single rating of 4 star is not going to affect it that much, actually if you have a lot of 5s is nothing.
They never deleted my 4s. A dude rated me once 4 star and left a comment with "I love you". Low quality love.

hours online (veeery important). Usually they drop you after a while.
I just thought I was helping myself by putting in a lot more hours (I'm still proud of myself though). But I guess if I'm not actually making money those hours then it's no good.
I have a camathon planned for tonight. I'll just have to long off and work on other things for a bit if it's slow then.
That's very nice of you but I don't do any of that. My shows are SUPER vanilla. I swear if I didn't have a shenis, I'd make no money!

Girl, my shows are soooo vanila! lol I started off trying to do fetishes because I wanted the money but after failing at a sph and having my ego bruised I just stopped. I love being vanila though. It's much easier on me as well.

Agreed! And she was making it very clear to all in her room that this is a job and that every minute she sits there without a show or a tip is another minute that she was working for free. Then asked the room if they would work for free. I'm going on tonight and hoping for a miracle. Btw I am always looking for rooms to send my guys to when they request something I don't do or don't have, so if any of you deep throaters , big tittie girls, or twerkers want me to send guys your way, pm me ! I love helping out my fellow bb's :)
LOL I don't deep throat, or do epic blowjobs. In face NO WHERE on my profile are the words "deep throat" or "Blow Job" I send all those guys to Audri Two. Send the young guys who like older women to me. LOL

QUESTION:
Would a computer with a processor of 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and memory of 2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 handle the encoder? Do I have to lower the bit rate or frame rate on the encoder setting to have it run smoothly if I don't have an i5 or i7 computer?
My main computer just crashed on me yesterday out of the blue. I really don't want to spend the money on a new laptop right now.

Sorry to hear about your computer. But I don't think so. Give it a try but make sure nothing else is running on the computer while streaming. And yes you will have to use lower settings. You said you have a similar internet package to mine, 12 up. That may help. When I used my duo core with those specs I was choppy. But that was a few years ago and I don't think I had the best internet? Maybe an upload speed of 2.

RAM is really important if you want a fast working computer. 2 gb is complete shit. I recommend 6gb minimum.
Also, here is a thread for computer buying; what's best for streaming quality. It's absolutely fantastic:

no they dont they dont see a user list or anything like that they dont see a room count thats in party. the only difference between party and classic is that in party theres a room count and members can see what other ppl are saying but theres an 'eye' feature in the paid members interface that lets them chose to showcase their typed messages. or not if its open everybody can see it and if not only the model can read it.

They just sent me an email giving me Gold Shows and giving the option to opt-in on tv shows. I'm excited about the Gold shows but not to certain about the tv thing. Can anyone tell me exactly what the shows are and where the shows are broadcast and how they are promoted? I realize that being a cam girl means people are gonna see you and someone might out you but still don't want my face in an ad on a random porn site either. Also it says your goal is guaranteed? Any help to try and navigate this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Quick question. When on streamate, at the top where it has the "321" and the film symbol, if those are lighting up, does that mean I lost connection and it's reconnecting? I'm asking because sometimes it will do that and custies will still be in my room. Just now it did that and like 3 people logged off all at once. I don't think I was that terrible. Lol. But that's never happened before. In free/guest chat. Not private, thank Jesus.

TV gold shows used to be on dish network (as adult PPV) but it appears they have temporarily stopped doing that. Now they're just recording the shows for later use. The same rules still apply though (no copyrighted material, no music, etc). Here's the original thread about TV gold shows. (https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/showthread.php?176949-Streamate-CamTV-Star-Launch!)
The good: You're guaranteed to make at least your goal and you're bumped to the first spot on the front page which potentially gives you lots more traffic/guys adding you to favorites
The bad: Lots of people get low goals and sometimes the producers can be rude or demanding (hasn't happened to me personally but I've seen complaints in this thread)
The ugly: The shows are used HEAVILY for promotional material since there's no copyright infringement (aka affiliates plaster them on their sites and every tube site in existence), they may/may not credit you, AND it's hard to have the vids taken down since it's all approved by SM
Avoiding gold shows in general will help keep you off of porn sites, but it isn't guaranteed. I personally like TV gold shows because they tend to attract big spenders and I've gained a lot of new favorites from them. I do a 50/50 split of gold shows vs private/exclusive, so getting more exposure to gold show guys is a plus for me. Of course, I have several recorded TV show vids on affiliate sites/tube sites and I don't love that. I would much rather have 100% control over how I'm being advertised but it IS bringing me more traffic so I'm neutral on the issue for the time being.
I really, really feel for the models who unexpectedly find themselves on one of those sites. SM should really be more upfront about that side of things. Too many models are blindsided by that stuff through no fault of their own. That's why I love this community so much - knowledge is power.

Did not wanted to check the forum but stay positive about SM tonite, after a few hrs on cam & making peanuts i came here to read my fellow cam girls complain about this site too. Not good, miserable shift really. Reading about the percentage rumor is making things worse. baaaah!!
ETA: also the number of models online tonite is lower, earlier i saw 1100 something, now i see 1200 ish, normally i see over 1500 up to 1700-1800 ish models on at this time of the day, means people dont stay on cause there is no business, i mean okay, some top models could still do good but the numbers dont lie.

Just wanna weigh in tonight since I'm usually the one complaining, but tonight was actually pretty good to me! Surprisingly! TONS of in-n-outs as usual (but hey, at least there's steady traffic at all for once), but I also had a pvt and a longer than usual exclusive. Was on less than 3 hours total and made my low goal. It's really just luck of the draw, isn't it!

Recently I did a system refresh on my Lenovo laptop because it had gotten really slow. And a few other issues. It's an I7 and 8gb 2 years old. But in camyears tha's like 5 years old. Anyways I do the refresh and it's running like new again. But I went looking for old clips to add to my site and damned if I didn't find a folder that had 5000 fmle files in it. 5000!!!! I guess last summer I had that little box clicked on the encoder. That's probably why it was running so slow.

No. You'd have to tell them that c2c is only available in Exc. Some may leave but guys who really want your show will switch to Exc. You gotta train them, their asses will learn one way or another.

It was a show that lasted like 3 mins of him begging me for my phone number and then when I said i couldnt do that because Id get fired, he insisted I call him. I simply said sorry ill get fired. Well he left pvt abruptly, after I began to ignore his stupid demands. I even told him I had the phone option available but I just couldnt call or have him call me. I emailed SM and asked about the rating. They just said thats the rating he gave me. Ok. So I just keep this shitty rating for one asshole? Im pissed. I dont want a pity party from SM but I do want to tell them what happened.
