Princessvera, if you can get your hands on a book called The Gift of Fear, it might really change your perspective on difficult individuals like that guy harassing you. Like Cutie101 said, just ignore his comments and block him every time. These people feed on your response; no response, he gets bored eventually and finds someone else to bug. Us women are taught to be too nice to disrespectful men like that. No more!

Thx blue I'll check my barnes and nobles, I will NOT let this loser affect me and my earnings. I never respond to him but I wish it was a way for SM to require a mental disorder exams for our protection (will never happen though, it's the internet!)
Liz blocked his accounts so I'm thankful for that!

Well I'm a newbie and I hope you guys don't mind me venting in this thread. I already have an obsessed loser that I had to report twice for harassment, he has different usernames I will kick him out of my room and he will come into my room with a new screename calling me names and telling me I should give up camming! I'm very fed up because I do not make enough money on SM to put up with this and I'm thinking about closing my account with SM :( Have any of you girls dealt with hateful harassment like this?

I've been at it 10 years, so I've had my fair share of abuse.

I would try a different tactic. I would not kick him and just try to ignore him. If you don't react he may lose interest more quickly.

Now I wonder - have you got the setting "allow free chat (no credit card)" set to "no". I can't see how he can come back with different names each time you kick him unless he doesn't have an account with credit card - setting this to "no" maybe all it takes.

Here's a screen shot of the setting you have to change to "no".

Okay I had no idea that I was allowing free chat the whole time! I think your right so I banned free chat from my cam, thank you so much! Fingers crossed that's the last of that loser

Hehe! You are only a newbie! I remember at the beggining I wasn't making money and I was crying if any member was insulting me.
I wish I discovered this forum in my begginings.
Now I show them middle finger, curse their mothers and then ban them. Or simply ban them.
Depends by mood hahahaha :)))
Don't worry! You will get those motherfuckers all the time. You need to focus now on increasing your popularity on streamate with the nice members.
Is like you eat a bowl of cherries and some of them are spoiled with worms. What are you doing? You focus on the spoiled ones and feel sorry for them? Or just pick them from the bowl and throw them away and then continue eating the good ones?
Then u see assholes in your room, imagine they are a spoil;ed cherry with worms and throw it away from your bowl!}:D}:D}:D

LOL. I was away for 9 months and recently just re-discovered this setting as I had forgotten about it. It's probably one of the most important settings on the site.

Also, if you change browsers or computers the setting will need to be reset as the default is "yes".

I have the files KK if you still need 'em. What quality do you need and where do I send it?

I just had the internet guy come out and he said there isn't really anything that can be done about my upload speed. He managed to get it from .40 to .50 but even that will sometimes be lower. Is Streamate a lost cause for me? I don't think the Encoder is even a option with it being that low. There are no other ISP available in my area with higher options.

Yes and for some odd reason my round trip time was high as fuck. There is no reason for that as I've always had it around 100-150.....Something is up....and then sometimes it says I'm streaming in HD and other times it says I'm not....its fucking with my placement too because traffic has been few and far between.

Your inbox is full bb. :( Let me know when you clear it so I can try again. Also, I must be blind, but I do not see a way to attach a file in this inbox?!?!?. I was going to send you a dropbox link, but if you don't like that option, email me whatever burn camming email you have and I'll attach it that way.

Is anyone else having issues tonight? I have people take me pvt, and the light blinks but the window doesn't open and when you open it there is no one there and no one in free chat can hear me. I had to log off and back on, AND the guy who took me pvt was charged for 3 minutes. Good customer, I hope he's not super pissed :(

We're in the same boat, pookie. There's higher upload speeds all around me in my area but my apartment complex? This is the absolute highest package I can buy and my up is just under 1MB. The encoder always messes with me so I just broadcast on HD Wide and before the recent plague keeping SM on its deathbed, it was working out fine for me. I'm just doing what I can to save up enough to be able to move because as ok as things have been (made it to the bottom of page 1 which isn't awful at all), I *know* I'd be making so much more with blazing fast speeds.

I can't answer since I wasn't able to get online tonight, but can I just say... FUCK YEAH I CALLED IT! SM has probably been having cloaked glitches this whole past week with how crazy slow things have been for so many girls. Hopefully their being more obvious now means they're gonna get addressed.

I'm on hiatus over the summer since my son is out of school. Kinda glad I'm able to take this break due to the summer slump in traffic. Last year this time I was trying to cam days on SM and my earnings tanked pitifully. But getting to my point......It appears that the site may be a little screwy because I've been trying to login with my customer account and when I attempt to click on a model it gives me system error. If I try this without being logged in it shows model is in a private show. EVERY model.

Something ain't right here

Samesies!!

All night! I had the issue where someone takes me to Exclusive but I end up in limbo a few times (not in a show, yet not in free chat) and lost a few custies that way. Free chat was also wonky as hell. I had a pretty chatty group for awhile and suddenly they would go silent. Finally a reg told me via email that they could hear me but nothing they were typing was getting through. I had to restart about 8 times during a 5 hour shift this evening.

Also yesterday, I had a guy who had a similar issue in private. He sent me a nasty email about being a greedy whore for disconnecting the show when I didn't at all. Nice guy. haha Told him to contact support anyway. I hate it when customers take out tech issues on me!

Kitcatt
07-01-2015, 11:10 PM
Yep, I had similar issues yesterday, one guy sent me a screen shot of the "error" message he got trying to stay on and take me pvt.
And then the site wouldn't let me back on.
I also know of at least 6 models who were unable to log on. Jesus, wtf.

Few issues this week but it hasn't hurt my income too bad... I'll just list them so you guys know if what you're experiencing is "normal" at the moment.

1) Certain customers can't hear me. Idk why..... They refresh a few times... sometimes that works.
2) Customers were being told they hit their limit... but then could freely spend anyway. Even though they hadn't spent anything yet, they still got this notification.
3) Some people can't view my photos or see the bottom of the page. I'm in fact one of these people.... I couldn't view photos with my customer account either... BUTTTT Java just updated today...so maybe that will fix everything idk. Haven't tried it yet.

Best of luck to you ladies. Tomorrow is another day! Stay strong. Fuck the freeloaders. Remember what exactly it is you love about camming. Fall in love with what you do. Then reap the motherfucking benefits!! Peace.

Maybe I'm the only one on here, but I have never bothered with the encoder other than testing it out a few times. As I stream to many sites simultaneously I can't afford to send all my bandwidth to SM, especially with a pathetic 30% share - and I never get complaints and still maintain a 5 star rating. Apart from that, having to use a 3rd party encoder is just ridiculous.

Judging by how many people complain about connectivity and encoder issues on SM, I'm doing well with the browser interface as I rarely have problems.

i've gotten disconnected twice, both times "network connection lost' or something. i'd hear the little exclusive sound but didn't see the popup and people's messages wouldn't come through. ugh.

anyone else having trouble trying to get on right now? It's 10:30 EST and I can't. I use the encoder and after I click "start my show" the pop-up doesn't appear or it takes a really long time to show up.

I'm getting on ok, but my round trip time hops from 0 to fucking 11000!! And then like one person is in my room.

I noticed a pretty low number of models online. It's weird and annoying.

- pop up not showing up so that I can log in
- sitting in my room by myself
- being disconnected
- being disconnected also because of "system error"
- checking my cammodels link and my stream is not loading
- knowing I'm online and checking the site, and I'm shown as offline (NOT on mobile)

AARRGG

Going to reset router even though I know it's just SM that's fucked.

Could be that SM is having tech issues cause they maybe got together with kinklive & they work on a new platform? Or the site is glitchy? Again? Did not cam for a few days now but i plan to get on soon.

My twitter feed is filled with pissed off models who are having issues. This is a real thing, for sure. Not a word from SM about it.

SM is currently f * * k e d up, majorly, so it's not you bb's. It has been so all morning, but I read reports of models having a milder version of the glitches as early as late last night (3ish am usa time). I tried logging in around 8:30 am est, and I was able to talk to some guys, but no privates. By 9 am EST I couldn't even be online properly anymore. Roundtrip was messed up for me as well ..600-700, no one coming to my room or talking. They need to fix whatever is going on, it is on their end. I give up for now. Gonna go hug my dogs.

I wish that in situations like these, they could acknowledge that there is a tech problem and send us a message with the approximate time things will be back to normal, so we don't sit around on our asses trying to log on. I'm happy to just put in extra hours tomorrow, but only if I HAVE to. I'd rather just work more this evening.

That explains the encoder saying that the stream is busy or in use lol 2 x now then I clicked again and it let me go through but now still 0 ppl..o god it disconnected me again!!!!!


Scratch that... I can even start a show now.... When I click start show no encoder settings pop up.....

I got through and my room was soooo busy ....and I got taken exclusive right away.....then got disconnected ... stop fucking with me!!!!

When I was to start show, it seems to load and load and never actually stream. Is this a problem at my end?

I just talked with a model that was in a long exc and said she only got a dollar or something.

At this point, I wouldn't even try to log on today. We need to be paid for our work. This is complete bullshit.

the issue is site wide ladies. I started noticing the long amount of time it was taking for customers to log into free chat a few days back b/c they kept complaining and i checked from my customer account as well. yesterday i was showing as logged off on the websites end. Today seems the worst of all. The sucky thing is these guys are READY TO SPEND TODAY! I'm already over the fact that this summer sucks and all I can do is laugh at this crapola. I've tried with and without the encoder and the stream won't even start without the encoder it just shows as connecting for 10 minutes. I've done 1 private and 1 gold show so far and am afraid to try another. At least we know it's not our fault for once. LOL. Netflix, here I come bb :) :)
Keep your head up ladies!!!

Has anyone noticed that Payoneer payouts were scheduled to be sent today? Is anyone who was expecting payment through Payoneer this week, have you gotten your money yet at all?

I've been able to log in but getting ready now so haven't even attempted to go live yet, you ladies are making me a bit nervous :/ I hate when SM glitches.

Traffic is crazy right now , if you can log in you'll get taken exclusive right away......but I'm worried if they will pay all the models the money that isn't showing on our pvts chat log... My $$ is still missing ....only shows for 3 mins

I just called at the studio and my trainer advised me not to log in... Probably is more than fucked-up.
