I've been camming for almost 2 months. Streamate approved my screen name. I'm now under suspension and being told to change my nickname because they feel it's inappropriate and implies being underage. It's aaliyah's nickname! I'm a huge aaliyah fan. Wow...

I wonder if this has something to do with the recent events of that mother abusing her young daughter on SM. Maybe they are doing a sweep to clean out anything that might seem even a little bit pedophile ish.

Hey,
Can anyone tell me the payment schedule for Payoneer users on SM?
So if the week ends on Saturday when do you usually get the payment.
Thanks,
:-)
P.s. Hope the glitches are sorting themselves out... :-/

I didn't have any issues and surprisingly Monday was quite shockingly amazing (made over $500 for the first time on a Monday ever O.o) However, I noticed customers getting booted after being in my show up until the 5 min 30 second mark. The reason I noticed because not only did they all have the same time frames, they were booted back into free chat. I was only splitting with SM today so I didn't care but it was still odd. Other than that I can't complain too much. I hope it picks up/straightens out for everyone!

Yeah the glitches aren't fixed. A regular kept getting kicked out of free chat and he was on a computer. He went Exc for 9 minutes then all of a sudden he couldn't see me anymore. He ended the show, hopped back in before the 30 seconds ended still couldn't see me. Went back into freechat still couldn't see me. Logged out of freechat twice and still couldn't see me. I had to log off and back on for him to see me again. Another regular went private, was there for 2 minutes and said my cam was acting up, he ended the show. He came back and went premium again, got kicked out. I asked him what the problem was; he said he couldn't stay connected, said he had 4 bars and said it was my connection. I know dam well it wasn't my connection and told him it wasn't because I don't stream wireless. I told him it was the site and if he ever has problems with the site he should contact support.

I did some research regarding the private show freeze/kick issue and found out there was a sudden bitrate drop in the very beginning of the show every time it happened. I monitored the bitrate for a few days, tweaked some things on my end (different resolution, camera, encoder, network settings and even ISP) and came to a conclusion that, given how randomly it happened (like, one and the same customer would have glitches one day but would be fine another day or a few hours later) it most probably had to do with the streaming server used at the moment. Unfortunately, I have to locate the lousy servers yet.

Yes, I get my money from Payoneer into my bank every Tuesday, apart from the occasional holiday that makes it Monday/Wed/Thurs instead. x
Talking of which, I haven't bloody been paid today yet, because of damn Welsh/Irish/English bank holiday yesterday.

I don't know if this is related or merely a fluke but, I was having lag issues and RTT issues all day yesterday, when I went on last night I decided to log on with 800 bit rate instead of 2000 and my RTT only fell into the 'poor' area once and then picked right back up again. Might be a fluke? Will be doing it again today and see how it goes. Which makes no sense cause I get 20 UL I should be able to stream with 2000 bit rate easily but maybe its the encoder that can't handle it which forces my RTT from 300 and below, but it seemed to work!

Thanks bb ;) And yes, that's exactly right. So for example, I'm getting the payment from the week of August 16th today. It's the same schedule as the normal checks, but for me it arrives one day later than checks did.
Edit: This is for direct deposit through Payoneer. It looks like payments going on to a Payoneer card may show up earlier from what IvyAdams said.

If anyone has USAA or a bank that allows you to use the credit card cash advance you can get your payoneer money even faster once it hits your payoneer account. I simply leave $2 in the account and push over the rest, free and it goes into my bank instantly. For example I worked IML for the past 2 days and they paid me today in my payoneer account. I logged into USAA and used the CC cash advance option, filled out the info and the money is on my USAA debit card.

Yea they are more likely to remove the rating if you have a print screen of it.
Talking about ratings ,how long does it take for them to remove an unfair bad rating or at least get back to u?Emailed them friday and didnt hear anything from them yet.I know it was weekend but tomorrow I`m emailing them again .

Mine was on time (got it on Monday) but it seems like it was late for a few other girls:
Might have been because of the bonus? Next week's check will probably be late because of Labor Day, too.

I agree. If customers aren't paying for 30 seconds of a 1 min show y should they be allowed to rate? They shouldn't be

Nothing gives me so much satisfaction as blocking an asshat that previously rated me poorly in a show! I always note them when they rate anything other than 5 stars and as soon as they pop back up BLOCKED!! Leave 'em wondering what the hell just happened lol. And yes, I understand they can rate however they see fit...and I can block them from ever seeing another one of my awful shows again ;)

It is almost as glorious as the feeling of seeing your earnings history with a ton of people who got caught at the 31 second and 32 second mark.
Streamate is glitching on me tonight >:( As soon as I go to accept an exclusive session it doesn't go through and it seems like everyone is booted from my room at the same time. ARGGGG This is costing me money.
Edited to add: I have to stop streaming, go back in, and they request again and it works. This has been happening to multiple customers.. luckily most guys have found me and requested again.

I had glitches in literally every single pvt/exc show yesterday, and today I've had several guys complain about lagging. It's not on my end - there are plenty of guys who can see me perfectly. But I'm not getting many biters for anything other than Gold shows. Not this again.... :(

So glad I wasn't the only one who had it super slow last night. Monday was FANTASTIC and I made my goal in like 2 hours, yeaterday I had nothing but a bunch of in-and-outters and a few paying customers who...well, let's just say their stamina was unimpressive. I need a big check this week, this is the money for my husband's and my first anniversary weekend! SM don't fail me now!

I will say that Mondays are most always great for me. Not sure why? Keep the weekend going? But Mondays are usually the best day of the week for me. I'm Mon thru Friday. Yes, slow traffic yesterday. Had to stay on the whole time for my shift to finally make my goal. ouch!

I got this about 8 months or a year ago. I did not do it and eventually the feature was removed and never spoken of again. I think others got it way before then. Maybe when you hit a certain milestone you get this.

I've had this from quite a few custies, and when I asked support what the link was and if i try to give it to the customers it blanks the link out and when I try to explain to them where it is they can't see it. Just another tech issue, go figure.

When my regulars tell me my cam is freezing and they can't stay connected to my room it makes me sad. Never having another birthday again, I'd much rather go get drunk and be depressed by myself at this rate. :(

Today was the day I decide to officially stop catering to freeloaders. Which of course meant that the few guys who didn't immediately in-and-out were gone once I asked them to tip if they wanted to see my ass. Definitely slow today, and my regular that did come on got kicked out of pvt once because my feed froze (again, not on my end!)

I was hoping the tech issues would be done by the time I come back but it is not looking too good for that smh
