I feel you I had same thing last night attempted one goldshow had one guy pitch in, this is why i dont do gold shows to me they are a waste of time, id rather just get pvt's. these guys need too many incentives to pledge like videos and pic sets, i dont see why girls like gold shows honestly.

So what's with these sidebar adverts that take a whole load of traffic? They're new, right? I don't remember the site having them when I cammed in the summer. I guess I must not have noticed them in January cause it was shit anyway but tonight was going great until one of these shows started up and my traffic and pvts just dried up.

Did anyone notice that their percentages in paid time changed? I had 63% for Sunday and Last night after 7 my stats were there for Monday, and now Sunday says 50% and there is nothing there for Monday.

hey girls! :) okay so .
I am a non nude model, and I have a really good thing going on Mfc and im happy blablabla
but some nights i have terrible insomnia and i would like to cam or do something productive in this timeeee.
and it is not a good time for me to cam on mfc, it just kills my camscore.
I was thinking of signing up for SM, but it seems like a pretty show oriented site? bad idea? maybe feet fetishists?
I know I have to sign up and try it out to know for sure, but I'd really appreciate any opinions please :)

I'm pretty sure you can as long as they are not for the same thing... Like you can have a vanilla one and a voyeur one... Plus a couples one.. I'd message support to be 100% sure though

I am beyond frustrated with SM. I have submitted my docs over 6 times now. They have "lost" them twice, and the other 4 times, they have told me completely bogus reasons for denying them...thing like "the date isn't written down" when it clearly is. I've emailed them back each time and tell them, they tell me to reupload, I do, then wait 1-2 weeks, then they come back with brand new (and equally bogus) reasons (which they previously never mentioned to me) that the same documents are rejected. The most recent was that my ID or profile picture was expired (My ID is very VALID...and how they heck can a picture "expire) and that I need to include my full address (which I already did)
I was super excited to work for them, but this experience has been a complete and total waste of time and energy. It's as if they aren't even looking at the documents at all and instead want me to go through a studio (which I've read about before) i know girl who signed up no problem. I would have an easier chance of becoming Miss America at this point than being accepted on SM....Has anyone else had the same issue?

SM wants every I dotted and every T crossed for sure..
I had the same problems....waited forever only for them to tell me my documents were rejected....
Then I resubmitted them but saw on here someone suggesting me to email vanesssa to speed things up
Her contact info is here.. http://www.stripperweb.com/forum/showthread.php?170324-If-your-documents-were-rejected-on-Streamate
She works for SM not a studio and got me approved in under 24 hours...also the second time I submitted documents they were wrong and she walked me through filling them out right.
Also check out this thread... http://www.stripperweb.com/forum/showthread.php?169932-How-to-do-a-search-on-Stripperweb because I know Ive given this exact advice on this thread before lol
Good luck :D

Thanks so much for the info. I understand that they want to cover their asses and have all the info required....they could just go about getting it in a way that would save them a ton of wasted time/money having to check documents and uploads and return emails numerous times, when it could just be solved with on concise email....not to mention the fact that I am so fed up at this point, I dont even know if I want to deal with a company who is so clueless about the basics of running a company (or so it would seem)
Thanks again, I am going to think about it and possibly email her and see if she can help me. :)

There's a SM model with the name 'Squirts' in her name, and she has another SM account called TheOtherRoom. That account belongs to her and her boyfriend.
I'm pretty sure I've also seen a few other models who had 2 rooms. If you're in their chat while they're streaming (or you're at their profile), sometimes their other room will even show up in the 'Similar Models' list.

They have started showing the paid time sooner than they were before... but I have noticed it's still taking a least a day to even out and be accurate.

My time online and paid time is way off, too. For yesterday, it says I was only in paid for 21 min. when I had one private alone that was 37. So percentage is off, too. I have never tested it to really see if it's accurate or not before. I'll start watching it now, because clearly somethings not right. It usually doesn't take 24 hours to update accurately, does it?

Snowy0Star
02-05-2013, 10:23 PM
I've always wondered about multiple girls using one account. Do you think their studio owners just pay them x number of dollars regardless of what they actually make on a given day?
u mean theres studio girls who share one account? that ive never noticed before but normally when i lurk for tips and stuff i go on mfc
Cam_Model_Jess
02-05-2013, 10:28 PM
I was talking about models who have more than one account & stream on both of them at the same time. Like the accounts mentioned by TBF above. Streaming on a couple's page & solo page at the same time. Then not taking shows on one page, just on the other page, & using one of the pages to redirect traffic to the other page.
I have, however, seen studios give a girl's page to a new girl when she quits, & not even change the pictures or anything. Haven't seen many of those tho.

that doesnt sound legit in the least bit because its the first girls real legal name and ssn and all that stuff that used to make it. but i guess since the studio girls give them so much and sm pays for their spots they turn a blind eye to it.

Support takes a while. It's not a 24-hour turnaround kind of site.

Of course it's not legit. Support doesn't have people actually checking these pages. If the page is reported, they might do something about it. But otherwise, it will remain there until the studio gets sick of using it or the girl takes legal action (which isn't likely).

I also remember reading here that it's best to limit your messages to one issue at a time. As in, send an email about the encoder problems and then maybe wait a few hours and send them a separate message about making your photo static. They don't do well with messages where you ask them about multiple things.

I think they have specific people to deal w/ specific issues. Plus, they don't usually READ the message anyway, just skim for keywords. That's why we get the stupid answers we get half the time that have nothing to do w/ the question we asked.
It's pretty simple, just send multiple e-mails. Not that hard.

I think e-mailing Vanessa and/or Liz might be better than e-mailing SM in general? It seems like those particular ladies are more on top of things than the general SM Model Support. At least when I e-mail one of those ladies, I don't get the annoying copy/paste responses.
PrincessLuna
02-06-2013, 11:18 AM
The person you ladies are talking about actually has 3 accounts. Having one solo and one couple account I can understand. But I'm not sure why she's allowed two solo accounts.
Edit: Seems her older account is just for voyeur. I've emailed SM about opening account like that before, but never got a reply back.

Vanessa has stated to only email her with account questions (leaving studios and whatnot) and to email support with technical issues. I don't think she's really going to respond anymore to encoder and tech stuffs now.

Dang, she's the only one that ever offered helpful responses... I'm going to try emailing support again, it'd be really helpful if they actually read the messages rather than sending canned messages...

02-06-2013, 11:34 AM
Yeah, I don't remember exactly what is was that I had contacted her about, but she was still super nice about it. I think with everyone knowing that she's the faster responder that she may have become a little overwhelmed.

ME TOO. Tons lately.
And you know what irritated the crap out of me??? I was doing a TV Gold Show and someone asked where I was from, I said "the Dallas area" the producer sends me a message saying "Do not give out personal information". I"m like WTF? So, since my screen name is Sexy Texan, wouldn't that be a violation of that rule to begin with??? Now I can't say I'm from Dallas????

Alright, something's up... I was just taken to private and after a few seconds it sounded like a person left. I asked the guy if he was still there and he said "yes" then it sounded like another person left... I checked again to make sure he was still there and then suddenly I get -User name has logged off- but the person never "logged on". What the hell just happened?? 1 person came in and it sounded like 3 people left.

I wish they would tell the guys "Do not ask for personal information". That'd be awesome.

I had something like that happen, too except I was in free and my Premium red blinking light came on, like someone was there. I clicked on it to open the room, and it just showed '*name* has logged off'. I looked in my earnings and nothing was there. I remember him being in my free chat, but there was never a "person entered your pvt" sound or 30-sec countdown, so I don't know what happened. It may have just been a glitch in both of our cases.

Can I ask you ladies what you have your encoder bitrate and frame rates set to? My encoder and video were perfect and now something's gone and messed it all up. I don't remember what I had them at before I downloaded SM's recommended XML file (which the encoder doesn't entirely accept for some reason).

Happens to me all the time. Every day. But I have NEVER been paid for a single one of those customers. I've also had customers whose names get "stuck" & it shows them as being in pvt still even when they're not (you'll know b/c they can't be kicked out). Had one stay for 7 minutes once & I wasn't paid. And yes, my understanding is that it's an error in the iphone/ipad app.
And no, I didn't just post a freebie tip for custies. They don't actually SEE anything, just an error message.

An MFC regular visited me on Streamate this afternoon and tipped 20 Gold, and then another 30 Gold (to make it a total of $50 for 20 custom pics). The 30 Gold tip made that cool "Ahhhhh" sound. :) I got 2 new tippers today, and a new guy went exclusive. This is an improvement from my last few days on SM, so yay!
