I had 2 guys (regs) clicking the exclusive , I heard the exclusive sound, I pressed on "accept" and.....nothing happened.
The members left tho and one of them came back and he was in and out of the room a few times and I guess he gave up and left...:'(
I am pissed I can't send him a message to ask him what's happening because he must message me first >:(>:(>:(>:(
^^ I asked my studio to check with there member account... I also took off geoblock for my state and now only have it for my city..only for the freeloaders
Maybe ur studio have u as favorite so u appear up in the list for them? I ask cause i was asking a regular to check my placement while i had geoblock on & he said i was the 1st on row one lol & i knew it cant be, i asked him to un-favorite me and check the main site page not the category i was in, silly guy, when he took all 'filters' off he told me the real placement.

It was the perv account, separate browser and everything. She was wedged right in the middle of our top earners, so I'm not sure how the placement would have been biased (we don't play favorites). We did notice that even the top models had between 10-20 people in their rooms at the time max, some a lot less. There are magic times of day when there's just not many customers to go around. When I was a model yesteryear with a 20-30/hr/week schedule I never went past row 4 and never more than 10-12 people in my room, but I still made really good money.

^^I'm wondering...today I went on without splitting on my i7 laptop....I used my i3 side by side and used that one to split.. Maybe I was new on the first row
There are many studios out there lol, i am glad Layla is with one who can provide her with accurate information, i wanted to help in case it was the opposite, she said she was surprised & disappointed so i asked how she figured out placement as she did not give details at 1st. All good then Katy:)

DAMMIT I was finally on the front page, getting good traffic and my own damn internet is suddenly massively slow for some reason...I was wondering why I was getting so many in and out guys and then I watched my own stream and saw that I was having massive lag. Ironically this isn't a Streamate issue, it's my own top-tier connection. Sigh. This week was not meant to be, I swear.

I was brought into PVT by a user i was trying to block who kept asking me
"If I take you into PVT, will you throw up? Pee or poop?" I said it was against the rules and NO. He took me into PVT, stayed 3 minutes and left me a 1 star review.
I emailed SM and asked for a rating removal, I really hope they will help me out with this because there are SO MANY SCAT FREAKS out there on SM right now acting an ass. I'm trying to block...but sometimes these guys are sadistic and extremely eager.
Anyone ever have luck asking for bad rating removal over something like this? :(

Yes, Streamate has always removed my 1 star ratings. I always send them a screen capture of the private and explain what happened. It's always removed within 24 hours.

I feel ya. I had a stint of laggy pixelated streaming last week, and my initial inclination was to blame SM. But then I eventually realized it was a Comcast issue on my end; I reset my modem, waited a couple hours and it went back to normal.
I can't help but wonder how many other girls might be experiencing certain non-SM-related issues/glitches without realizing it's actually their Internet or something else on their end, since it's so easy to make Streamate the ultimate scapegoat right now.

Has anyone ever tried to pull a fast one on those poo/pee guys with that fake dog poo sculpture? I am so tempted to with cam2cam enabled. Would I get banned? I would just do it for shits and giggles, literally.
They changed the way they display models in Europe, i felt something is different tonite so i looked up, before tonite i could see only EE models when looking with my original IP now i see whole Europe. There is a reason traffic is slow here now, i think they working on things again. Hmmm.....

Thank you Solo. I was really kinda bummed about this. I would've screencapped the pvt but he asked in public chat and the convo was gone by the time i came back from pvt. still, i enclosed the screenshot of the 3 min pvt.

I had a problem early in the week, and also linked it to an internet issue. You're right, it's best to check things out on our end first just to be sure.

I don't mean to be unsympathetic here, just honest. Yes, it does get better -- once you develop thicker skin and can stay on long enough for the worthwhile guys to find you. Ban the assholes, don't let them get to you; keep a smile on and be engaging. It's tempting/easy to log off when you're in a bad mood from no shows or a horrible customer, but personally, if I do that then my negative mood just perpetuates. So I try to stick around until something positive happens, and then either get motivated to stay on, or sign off in a better mood.
As far as guys "never asking a vet" for certain requests, I'm going to have to disagree... I've been on the site over a year (perhaps not "vet status", but certainly not new); I was on the second row last night and I got asked for piss, shit, and puke, multiple times. Getting and rejecting weird/gross/"shocking" requests is part of the job, some nights are just worse than others.
(Side note - in my experience, vomit in particular actually seems like a fairly common request, especially if you offer deepthroating.)
Be assertive with your boundaries and don't worry about bad ratings with these kinds of requests; SM is always really reasonable about taking them down.
********Thanks for this :) Cheers lovely lady

I have the same specs, except for the camera (I use a C920). I've definitely had glitches, but nowhere near as bad as some people. I think it's just the luck of the draw, coupled with higher traffic covering up the glitches that are happening. When you've got TONS of customers, you won't notice that a certain percentage of them are getting booted etc. But for people with only a handful of customers it's much more obvious and take a greater toll on their paychecks.

Glad I didn't log out at first tonight when I was feeling discouraged. It really does seem like the glitches are improving, for me at least.

Oh my gaaaah such a good night... I love drunk regulars! Got tipped $250 in free chat for no reason, then got taken away for a 45-minute block! Did get a crazy glitch while in there, about half way through I noticed he was no longer saying anything -- the little box that usually has the usernames in it was suddenly blank, but the number still said one, and there were three people in my free chat below, so I have no idea if I was in limbo or if I was glitched into free chat while totally dildo-deep. >_<
My reg came back and we were able to complete the second half glitch free. Otherwise tonight's been solid. My highest earning week so far! :D

I really don't think SM is dying... I think it just requires a bit more patience right now through the glitches.
Obviously it's really easy and totally justified to get frustrated with the issues. But my advice is to refrain from logging off indefinitely after just one bad hour or glitchy block of time. If it sucks, either stay on for a short while and see if it improves, or take a long break and then try again later -- but don't give up completely for the rest of your day! It's always gotten better for me eventually, just give it time and get the fuck back on!

yeah I was back to normal last night but logged because my youngest woke up and I ended up falling asleep trying to get him back to sleep lolol. I will be back in Florida for good next Saturday can't wait back to decent internet instead of having to use COX who I hate! Back to the beach in a luxury apartment no more of this bullshit here in VA I hate this dump! This whole state is shit and I attribute that to my bad attitude sometimes when I'm logged on lol. Moving from florida where I am from population is almost a million to a state where each city is only about 160k is a culture shock not to mention this place is very uncultured and small minded people I can't stand it! Anywho thats my rant bahahahaha never move here very basic place to live! Unless you like country living not my thing I love to shop and go out to nice restaurants not fucking Denny's LOL

Lol logging off early is not my case) Did a 13-hour shift yesterday and most probably going for another one today because well that's what it takes to hit my minimum goal nowadays.

May we all persevere against the impatient poo freaks.

They don't need all those details in order to remove bad ratings. Just the ID, time and date, and a brief explanation will be sufficient. They know what's going on if you're a high rated model. I get the problem (a 1, 2 or 3 star) when I have more than one in a group chat. The guys will come in late and expect you to do what they ask, and if you don't they leave a bad rating.
... only don't ask for removal too often - they warned me LOL.
I don't worry about it anymore. A '1' every so often doesn't have much affect on the average.

I was lucky with the bonus because I hadn't logged on once in over the last month and just caught the start of the bonus period. I'm surprised they gave it to me as hadn't logged on during the problem period.

I had a decent 'back to normal' night last night, had to log in and out a few times to refresh my room during a few dead zones and had a few times with less people coming in and out of free chat but overall it felt more normal. If I survived 5 hours Tuesday afternoon-evening, I can survive anything, lmao.

My first Tuesday working in like 4 months because I normally take Tuesdays off as my 'gaming' day because a lot of my online games reset that day, and I gave it up for what I put up with (last day of the bonus was trying to get in as much as I could, hah), if I was a woman that drank, it definitely would have made it more interesting! BTW HAI, I'll take a cupcake anyway, send me one?:) I'll trade you for a slice of pizza!

Logging off and then back on, might help. RTT measures the moment since the information left your computer and got into their server. Sometimes it's the node connection (where your information travels), so every time when you log you "catch" a different "road". Don't know how to explain it better.

THIS helps! I started doing this and I FINALLY had a day where my Rtt wasn't all wonky. It was a good day, I finally had a 3 hr shift that I made my min goals on easily for the first time in a long time with no tech issues, guess the tech gods left me alone finally.

This is potentially old news perhaps- but does everyone have a CAT-6 cable at the least with the new encoder settings- high speed internet packages are most compatible with this and had an incredible upgrade from changing that one cord alone- cheers!!

Thank you for this, I'm logging off & driving straight to Best Buy as soon as rush hour is done today. My RTT is showing a steady and totally debilitating "Poor" all day today which makes no sense considering. If the fix is as easy as getting a new ethernet cable I'm gonna be over the moon.
