Payments usually show as 'processed' on a Wednesday but don't actually get sent to your Payoneer card until Friday (late afternoon / early evening UK time). If you use Payoneer GBT then it will arrive the following Tuesday.

^^^ It took two hours on my side, site wont load simply, the streamatemodels.com & streamate.com, it was down completely. Maybe it has to do with the long distance between myself & SM servers? I am in EU, i got the message 'Server not found' & Stripperweb was down too for a while, cant explain what happened as the other sites were just fine.
Now SM is ok, i was able to get back online but not happy about the lost hrs as i just started my shift when it crashed. Now i am tired of waiting & have to log off in a few cause my son gets home booh!! will try again later on ty for answering love, xxx

Alright--now my time online is totally fucked to. According to SM, I've been on for 3 minutes today. Closer to 3 hours would be correct. Hmm....
I hate when they tinker with the system. 'New and Improved!' Time Online stats page looks to have exactly the same information as the old one with an uglier layout that takes twice as long to load and isn't at all accurate. New and Improved indeed!

I was having issues at 5am est. I thought it was my internet actually. I couldnt get on SM or my C4S account. Tried to come here to see if was me or the site, and SW wouldn't load. But my personal websites were fine and so was Soundcloud. Weird.

Does anyone else have a hard time with the time online page because of it being shown in GMT? I know it wouldn't be hard for me to just calculate the correct amounts with the correct corresponding days for my time zone, I just wish there was a way we could change it. I'm assuming it has to be like that for their accounting/pay cut off times or whatever. It just irks me that it shows I worked on days that I really didn't, and breaks up my shifts over a couple days, etc. Maybe I should just make an excel sheet to ease my stupid nit-picking lol.

Weird indeed, seems like for some people certain sites were down, it was the same time for me, 5-6 am EST, i was surprised to see sw being down too & that there were no complaints about SM once sw was back up; maybe is the good server/ bad server situation? we are placed on different servers on SM according to our ranking so this could explain why some people were fine while for others it crashed completely.

I would like to know this too, mine stays just under the amount required. Does anyone know why it appears lower?
It can also have something to do with your webcam.. when I use my c920 It's excellent when I use the conference cam It's only good.. It drops because of my webcam.

Thanks for this suggestion! I never considered the camera at all. I will try a spare cam and see if it makes any difference.

Seems like they are off today too? Or maybe they are greatly reduced? Have they stopped doing them altogether now? I love guaranteed shows :(

I looked today and nothing, Becky! I like them too, they are a big part of my income. :( Maybe the website has big connection problems and they turned them off for a while. The weird part is that the option is still available in my account.

Well, it's been common knowledge for a while now that SM is no longer broadcasting these shows on Dish Network/live TV. They've been doing them for advertising/marketing content (or, according to them, for future selection when they start broadcasting the shows again), but they have to run out of money to compensate models when they aren't broadcasting eventually, right? I wonder if they're not doing them because they just aren't interested in paying/aren't going to do Dish Network again.
Just speculating of course.
euro_princess
06-14-2015, 08:17 PM
I hope not. I know they are not broadcasting live anymore because the connection wasn't good enough. So the producers used to record the shows and send them for broadcasting. At least that's what they told me. Another thing that changed was doing shows between 9 am GMT - 3 pm GMT, they quitted around that interval of time, because wasn't profitable anymore. Nobody announced nothing, so we'll see soon what's the deal.

I stopped opting in for tv shows, I am glad they are gone, it was so annoying when they would interrupt my gold show and mess it all up. They are probably working on something else. Hopefully, it'll be something innovative and cool.
Issabelle
06-14-2015, 08:47 PM
It's interesting. I've never done a TV gold show personally, but from what's been discussed previously it doesn't sound like the producers are even totally on the same page in terms of why shows were discontinued.
Whatever the case may be, time will tell. Girls have been complaining about the low payout versus the large audience that sees the show for as long as TV gold shows have existed, so not everyone will be sad to see them go. Maybe we'll get lucky and SM will come up with a new marketing strategy to bring in more traffic without causing massive glitches!

For some reason, if they didn't work for everybody, doesn't mean they didn't work at all. I was one of the girls who actually did good money after them, that's how I gained popularity. I had days with 7-8 requests in 5h. I'm not planning to be mean, but the whole idea of "I'm happy they are gone" doesn't seem that fair-play. If they didn't bother you with anything, why being happy that some of the girls can't use them anymore?

I just found the producers annoying when they would take over my gold show when I was close to goal...a higher one than they gave me. The guaranteed funds is nice also, the placement at the top row, first spot so for girls who needed more exposure it was totally worth it for sure. But they really need to offer more. I will probably opt in again just out of curiosity to see if i am still able to get offers.

Oh goodness, I didn't mean to imply I was happy they were gone. I was only speculating at reasons for the removal (complaints from girls, possible roll out of new marketing, etc). I realize several girls do really enjoy them. I don't do gold shows much at all, so I have no emotional investment in the situation personally. Didn't mean to offend anyone--sorry!

The producers are a hit or miss. I had problems with a few ones too. One of them once gave me a smaller goal, I accepted it and I told him next time he should check my average. We had a fight and he ended up canceling my show (even if I made the goal before the timer run out and everybody was waiting for the start). Or another one took away my tvs just because I got my period in the last 30 seconds of the show. When I got my tvs back (after a week and a half) he didn't even remove the note put on my account, that I was on my period. A different producer popped into my room and asked me if I was still on that moment of the month, because apparently none of them was allowed to give me shows until the note was down.
Did I mention that sometimes they give me shows right after I finish my own gold?
For me, the producers are like customers. I learnt with time what they like and what type of person they are. Some are goofy, some are serious, some are super-quiet, some are jerks that can't wait to shut your show down, some are actually dumb and they don't figure it out the smallest things. As I said, hit or miss. If I don't think is the right moment to do a tv, I just explain him why and I cancel it. Usually they come back in half of hour and usually is a better guy, at least for me.
Even if I wasn't of the tv list, I wouldn't be glad to see they are gone. Sometimes I look at the girls who are not so popular and they get a show, that's like Xmas for them. Guaranteed money is heaven when you are nobody and you struggle making $200 per week. Been there, done that. At the end of the day, matters what shows in your earnings.
Edit: No worries, Is. I was saying as in general and I explained above why. *boobies hug*

^^ Good points Euro. It's an excellent source of exposure for newer girls or those trying to get their placement up.
Also, there's the possibility that the system is down at the moment. TV shows might be back tomorrow when SM opens again. Who knows?!

Currently you need to log out to see the time online updates. Opening new tabs while streaming, has been known to cause streaming issues and crazy glitches. Most browsers are known to be resource hogs. This could be the reason why they changed it. FYI to all girls who want to track time, you can watch your time online conveniently on the encoder.

Yay! SM now only allows non members who don't have an account to view free chat for about 10-15mins. After the 10 mins are up, you are unable to any other model in free chat. You must make an account to see the room. Maybe this will help weed out the freeloaders/stalkers but time will tell. I was watching my room in a different tab and got kicked out lol. I took a screenshot of the page that says the message.

Check your mobile settings for the site--on the top corner of the page there should be an option that says choose your language. I've accidentally switched mine to Spanish a few times. Your browser cookies should save it to English after you change it.

Hi beauties...
So I just tried this feature on SM... set a 15-min Premium time block option. It gives the custie a discount (I think 10%).
I got online, had 1 regular take me Exclusive for his 5 min Fetish... but then a new custom took me using this 15 min Premium block option.
I didn't know he did initially... the show is going good. I've slowed my pace and worked the "tease factor"...
Then I get this "5 min alert" in the chat window. Never saw this before -- that's how I knew he used the "block option"
It was AMAZING! And if he leaves early -- I am guaranteed the full 15 mins.
I made $27 in 30 mins with only those 2 shows! ***I know, I know ...not crazy money. But usually it takes me over an hour to clear that. Too many take me Private but leave after about 4 mins. VERY discouraging.
What is your experience with these Blocked Premium rates?

this one guy who found me on another site than streamate bought a skype session while I was still streaming on streamate and not done with my shift yet. first he kept asking me to use skype while in excl (????) because he prefers the big screen on sm but doesn't have a cam. yeah I wasn't about to do that. so then he bought that show. He didn't ask me when I was free and I was too sleepy to realize I hadn't asked. I said sorry I have a regular in here right now. And then he went "ok I will report you to streamate for fraud and I'll get you banned"
so I freaked and HAD to log off while I had decent traffic and guys were talking :( I'm still shaking. I don't know what to do about this, I'm afraid if I mail support that they won't believe me. I want to block him everywhere but I'm afraid he'll report me out of spite. what the fuck do I do now?? Email Vanessa? I'm scared they won't believe me :( Sm is my main source of income, I'm not stupid enough to fuck it up like that... ugh asshole

They'll believe you, they'll just review the logs and the recording of your session if they're in doubt. Don't let assholes blackmail you on SM, they really can't do it because there is a record and if you ask for a review they'll find in your favor.

Katy is correct he cannot blackmail you and they can check the records. Next time a customer pulls any shit you can also take a screen shot of the chat so you also have the proof that some one is trying to black mail you. Liz or Vanessa are the ones to go to with this sort of thing.
But I dont understand this. You were in Exclusive chat with this customer AND he bought a Skype show with you?? Its just so weird to me how you wrote this Like what does him having a cam have to do with screen size on SM vs. Skype and what were you to sleepy to ask?
I hope your not discussing Skype shows in any way shape or form in your SM account or they will block you for that. If a customer reaches out to you on SM to discuss Skype tell him you dont know what he is speaking of and if he speaks of it here on SM again you will be forced to block him permanently. Do Not use the word Skype when you say this and then contact him privately outside the site and tell him you just have to say that but your happy to discuss the details with him outside SM

yeah the idiot took me exclusive and kept asking for a show on skype at the same time O_o I didn't even bother figuring out how that would work because I'm not dumb enough to do that. he bought the skype show while still in exclusive without asking when I'd be free. I couldn't really discuss that in there :/ now that I'm less sleepy I realize I couldn't even have asked him when he wanted the show. He was like "I want to see you on streamate because it's a bigger screen than on skype on my phone". And he said he has no cam for his laptop. Ugh I feel like taking the day off when I think about the kind of morons I still have to face today -_-
I never discuss skype shows or any other website that I'm on, I tell them they can't do it and most guys apologize and never mention it again, but he just insinuated it from then on. I should've blocked him after the first time he mentioned it. I should also sleep more I think because usually I just kick them out.
What I don't get though is WHY on earth he didn't just email me or talk to me on skype. and this is a customer who's seen me quite a few times over more than a year.
