I'm starting to suspect that SM is just cock teasing us at this point.

I agree, we should be updated daily, because SM is my only bread and butter right now and I'm on ...or at least try to be on Mon thru Fri. I have been able to get on, but a guy took me prvt for 3 min..and nothing. It was complete limbo and earnings showed he was never there. Yikes!

I have been on cams.com there is good traffic there and they start you at 45% it just takes time to get your placement up.

After fees you only get 29% on cams. That site is a fluke.

I can not get online either. I click start show and nothing happens no url or stream key nothing.... actually I just tried without the encoder, I did get on, but I thought i would try a different setting without the encoder, hdwide, now i cant get back on again
I have to say, when kinklive had issues like this... they actually gave the girls money for the problems .. way to go KINKLIVE
Now i dont even have a dashboard :(

Ot but I can not figure out the frigging encoder. Is there a thread or something that breaks it down more. I managed to download it and that was as far as I got lol.

Can finally log in, but my placement is fucked. O'm on like page 4 for no reason. I'm gonna give them a few hours to fix this, and try again in an hour or so.

Yeah, if you read the fine print you'll see they take an extra 16% for other fees. I've been with them for 3 years and don't cam there anymore...it's just not worth it.

well, I just spent the last hour signing up on ImLive. I need a second site anyway when stuff like this happens. Oh well, now I'll try SM again. Then I'll read the ImLive thread on SW ;-)

Hi everyone… Liz with Streamate here.
I know you are all wondering what is going on and I don’t want to add to already elevated frustrations. So I wanted to make my first official SW post (after all this time) to address this really important issue. Your reports have helped and we are listening to you. As you know, we do not do a lot of public announcements, and will communicate any further information to you as we get it, you have our word.
During the past week, Streamate started experiencing heavy technical issues that have continued for several days. We are reaching out to keep you updated on this situation.
As soon as the issue hit on Saturday, our team got to work to find the problem and mitigate damage. We have now identified the problem and the worst of the issues should be over. Unfortunately, there's no single fix and our team continues to work to resolve the issue and improve stability. We appreciate your patience and understanding while we fully resolve the issues.
Your experience at Streamate Models is important to us and we want to make this right. We know this is personally affecting many of you. As soon as we're sure the issue is fixed, we will be making an important announcement for all Streamate performers who went through this with us.
We appreciate your patience throughout this time and apologize for the inconvenience. Stay tuned over the next few days for further updates as we have them.

And they nickle and dime you to death with quotas to make full payout AND don't do currency conversion AND charge you the VAT on top of that. Ugh, and the chargebacks......
JessRyan
08-19-2015, 01:58 PM
thanks Liz. I'm usually in such a good mood and always with a smile. It's frustrating the last few days, I hate losing patience and don't like taking it out on the guys. Your post means a lot. thanks again, I'll hang in there though. After I cam today, I'm getting an Xray,,, I think I broke my pinkie toe yesterday when I stubbed it. If it's not one thing, it's another

Thank you Liz for the post and update. Appreciate it! All I ever wanted was some form of communication so it doesn't feel like we are left I'm the dark. I m sure you guys have been aware of the issues and working to fix it, its just frustrating for us because we feel hopeless sitting on our side WANTING to cam but can't. I'm sure you understand our frustrations. Here's hoping for a speedy fix! I miss the glitch free days.

Thanks Liz for posting and updating. I no longer feel like pulling my hair out quite as much because of the communication. Hopefully things work okay tonight, since I haven't been able to log on for the past 3 days and I want to be able to pay my rent this month :/ I'm keeping faith you guys are working hard at making sure everything gets resolved asap for both the models sanity and yours. Really appreciate you posting!!!

Do the new settings usage placements are applied yet or not?

I am using old ones, as I understand it, new settings are not required yet.

Hi girls, so I just signed up for SM and I got approved yesterday. I was thinking about doing my first show tonight, and I'm SUPER nervous about it... but lurking this thread I'm kind of wondering now, is it even worth it with all the recent technical difficulties? I want to maximize my potential and milk the "new girl" status as much as possible. Should I wait another night?

I didn't have issues streaming today! But lots of complaints from customers who kept getting booted or feeds freezing.
IvyAdams
08-19-2015, 06:55 PM
so far so good, haven't been disconnected- just complaints about choppy feed
EDIT: Well.. at least it let me log on tonight. Guys complained about choppy feed and freezing a lot- and exclusive was booted every single time. It would last for around 10 minutes and then the screen would go black and they would get kicked. Luckily, they usually came back (thank the cam gods) One of my guys said when he reported the choppy feed to support they were very rude to him and blamed it on his internet. :( I wish they would at least be nice to the customers. It's like they don't realize that there are a million other sites that the customers can run too if they aren't satisfied.

My room emptied so I logged off to refresh and now I can't get back online. If I click "start my show" it goes to a blank white page

Not sure what's going in but I have been logged in since 1030pm est and been in privates have not gotten disc either. Seems good just placement is fucked up.
Kitcatt
08-19-2015, 08:50 PM
and now all the rooms are blank if I try to look at the models online
christylive
08-19-2015, 08:52 PM
so i was hit up on twitter and told that none of our cams are loading.... however on the 10th try it's working before they get booted? Maybe that explains why nobody is spending money?? just a thought... So over SM and all the bullshit...
The most awesome part to this bullshit is my paycheck didn't show up either. Guess I'll wait 30 DAMN DAYS to get it reissued to avoid the fee. Thank god it's a small check cause I was sick and hardly worked.

the other models rooms are loading okay for me right now, but when I was online I kept getting kicked off when I went into exclusive- or the guys cams would freeze and then kick them off. :/ I don't know what else to do. I'm going to call it a night and cam all day tomorrow and Friday through all the glitches and hope for the best.
